BOOKS FOR WINTER

Winter days are the days for real
books" The hammock variety of
book is all very well when the sun is
too hot to permit consecutive
thought and the thermometer pro-
vides the principal amusement and
irritant, but when the long, shut-in
winter days come, the old favorites
come into their own.
From dim shelves, the backs of
David Copperfeld," Henry Esmond"
and the entire family of household
friends, seem to beckon the idler to
make use of their pages. The fire in
the library crate flames up to il
lumine the printed treasures, and
one succumbs to the lure.
The busy world of material things
fades out; the sorrow which gnawed,
the trouble which vexed but a short
while ago, become parts of a vague
dream, and nothing seems real save
the antics of Pickwick, as he rambles
through the pages of "Pickwick
Papers" scattering his usual cheer
as he goes.
We laugh with them and we cry
with them-these book folks. Eager
ly we wonder how they will come out,
even though we are reading about
them for the thousandth time. There
is about them charm that seems new,
undiscovered. One wonders if per-
haps the whole world hasn't missed
the particular points which seem now
so vital and so absorbing. And one
reads on before the fire.

BAD COINS ARE POOR FRIENDS

The king of counterfeiters, San
Tate, has learned that his counter.
feiting success was also a counter
felt. His success was measured by a
few hundred dollars and a few
months of easy living. After seven
ty-fve years of crime as river pirate
burglar, highway robber and counter
feiter, he is now friendless and pen
niless.
The last coins he made were almost
too good to be detected and they
rang true" He defied the law and
the best efforts of skilled sleuths for
years and was a free man until he
was A. For forty-six years the law
has kept an eye on him.
His last sentence was considered a
life term, as he was 81 when he en-
tered the prison, but this foot 3 man
defied death and came out of prison
alive, even though he had to be car
ried. He is now hopeless paralytic,
too old to earn an honest living, and
it is doubtful if he could do so after
being a professional lawbreaker for
three-quarters of a century. He is
too feeble to try his hand at dishon-
esty and his old friends in crime have
forsaken him. Bad friends and bad
coins got him into trouble and now
he is left alone to die
His skill, his daring and his re-
markable physique were illegally en-
ployed and have at last brought only
misery; had they been employed hon
orably, Sam Tate would have been a
leader of men. His bad coins brought
false happiness at first and true mis-
cry at last. The saddest words of
tongue or pen, 1T might have been"

AN APPEAL TO YOUNG WOMEN
Hoover Asks Their Aid in COnserya.
tiOn.


tiOn.
President A. Ross Hill has receive
the following letter from Herber
Hoover, United States food admins
traitor:
To the women in the gradual
ing classes of the colleges and
universities:
The United States Food Admin
istration calls you to its service.
Our need is so great that we ap-
peal to you to prepare yourselves
as best you can, and to enlist for
the great work that must be done.
There will be diversity of tasks
and therefore diversity of talent
and training can be used. All our
questions now center in food; its
production, its distribution, it's
use, its conservation. The more
you know about these things the
more valuable you will be, and
the greater will be your service
to humanity.
III you have not already done
so, we urge you to pursue studies
dealing especially with food, but
these should be reinforced by
courses in chemistry, physiology
and economics. 1t will be well,
too, If you have acquired the arts
of public presentation OF your
knowledge to the people who 80
much need it.
Fortunately most OF our educa-
tional institutions now offer
courses WHICH give the necessary
training for this work, but to the
others an appeal is being sent to
provide such instruction wherever
it is possible.
More detailed suggestions and
directions will be published soon.
Today your country asks you to
resolve to do what you can in this
the hour of extreme peril to the
democratic peoples of the world.
Faithfully yours,
HERBERT HOOVER.

In December the library at Camp

of these went to men who are in
quarantine. These magazines are not
passed from tent to tent, but are
burned as soon as read by the men
in quarantine. Camp Doniphan ex-

zines to send with the men to read
