PRESSING NEED FOR
BOOKS TO SOLDIERS
Since Fighting Stopped, Men
Overseas Have Much More
Time for Reading.
WANT TECHNICAL WORKS

Correspondence Of thr Associated Press.
! PARIS, December 5.-With more
| reading time on their hands than
ever before. new that the fighting mas
stopped, the American expeditionary
force, which required a million book
a month, will devour literature at
much more staggering hgure- me
book shelves Of every Y. NJ. c. A. hut
! are polished daily by the constant re-
turn Of books read and the taking out
! of new books. and the difficulty is IN
supplying rapidly enough, according
! to Burton Stevenson, head of the
i American Library Association.
What the soldiers like best in the
way of reading is reported back TO
Mr.. Stevenson through the Y. NJ. Z. A.
, the Red Cross and the other organf-
cations among which the books OF the
American Library Association are dis
j tributed, as well as through letters
straight from the soldiers themselves.
His forecast of what they are going
to want was cabled back to the United
States the other day, in the following
order for books:
tary, advanced arithmetics, geometries,
trigonometries, chemistry books, physics
agriculture, stock breeding, forestry.
business methods, accounting, commerce,
banking, law, architecture. Two~hundreo
each bookkeeping, poultry raising. Re-
quests pouring in show tremendous
demand for technical, educational
books. Reorganizing warehouses to
expedite distribution"
Thousands Read Fiction.
Fiction continues to be read by the
Army, in spite of its more serious trend
of mind, at the rate of hundreds OF
thousands of volumes month, Mr..
Stevenson said. Kipling and Service are
still the favorite poets Of the Amerl-
can soldiers. Among the requests that
came in during the past week were two
for ordinary primers or A Is z DOCKS,
from American born men who are find
ing their first opportunity to study their
own language in a foreign country. Mr..
Stevenson believes that the need Tor
such educational books in the months
after peace is declared before the men
can go back to their own country Will
be tremendous
The American Library Association is
so well organized in France that any
soldier who makes request for a par
ticular book from any camp is apt to
find it in his hands almost more quick
ly than he would be able to procure 1t in
the United States. The association beat
it's own records the other day, however,
when two boxes of books were delivered
by airplane to aviation camps.

They have had snow and rain

grass is well advanced. Stock
farming Is carried on quite
generally there now. both un-
der the dry farming system
as well as in irrigated dis
tricts.
Mr.. Downey is quoted by the
Drover3 Telegram as follows:
"Our farmers last sea-
son produced good crops.
r Small grain and forage feeds
also beans. make up the list
of crops they rc.se.' Beans
have become good paying
crop. as the government fixed
the price, and this makes 1t a
