ANOTHER BAD YEAR
 FOR CATTLE TICKS

Washington, D. C. if the kaiser believes that misery loves company, he should have a brotherly feeling for the cattle fever tick. This year has been bad one for kaisers and ticks.
 This is why it has been a bad one for the ticks and why De- cember1, 1918, should be mem- orable day in the Southern states
 An area greater than ever be- fore freed in one year from Fed eral quarantine will be released on that day.
 The drive of the anti-tick fore es will have sent a broad wedge of free territority through the tick lines to the Atlantic coast, just as last year wedge was driven to the gulf.
 Of the 728,,565 square miles of infested area in 1906, 63 per cent will have been pronounced clean.
 Farmers will be free to ship their cattle to the great markets for cometition on their own mer- it's with other cattle and not un- der the quarantine handicap which requires sale at buyers prices for immediate slaughter.
 Cattle will increase in value weight, milk production, ap- .pearance, health. productivity, and length of life.
 Farmers in the freed areas will be able to bring to their farms better stock and thus raise the standards of their herds. The Southern States wIl have taken big strides tow ard their po5itlon as a great catte-raisinga country to which their natural advantages entitle them.
 Another record, too, was brok- en this year. The number of cattle clippings in all tick infest- ed territorrity in the first ten months of 1918 was 39,263, ,867 exceeding the number in any previousyear and by more than ten million the number for the entire year of 1917.
 The importance, in a national an international sense, of the campaign against the cattle tick was indicated in recent state ment by Secretary Houston, ad- dressed to the farmers and ag- ricultural forces of the United States. He said:
 "For considerable period the world will have need particular ly ofa larger supply than normal of live stock, and especially of fats. We should not fail, there fore, to adopt every feasible means of economically increas- ing our livestock products. As a part of our program, we should give due thought to the securing of an adequate supply of food stuffs and to the eradication and control of all kinds of ani- maj diseases"

its own automobile delivery system at
all the camps where its libraries have
been completed, and daily deliveries
are made to all of these "branches"
and stations.
The men are allowed to take books
out of the Ill. AIRY and keep them from
Il week to two weeks. There is no
penalty attached to overtime retention
of book. In fact penalties are not
necessary, for the men appreciate the
books so thoroughly that they are as
sisting the camp librarians in every
possible manner.
Sending Books to France.
With its system of camp librarians
well organized, the American Library
Association War Service is gradually
developing its overseas service. BY es-
tablishing Il dispatch station it has be-
gun a systematic distribution of books
to soldiers and sailors on overseas
duty. From the dispatch office books
are being sent to naval vessels of all
classes and are being placed aboard
army transports for the soldiers back
of the trenches.
The Y. NJ. c. A. has arranged to put
on transports book cases holding about
125 volumes each. Books for these
cases are being supplied by the A. L. A.
which later will supply the cases also.
These collections will be used as cir
culating libraries on the voyage and
will be emptied at the port of debarka-
ton in France, returning to America
to be refiIled. The work of distributing
the books in France will be done by the
chaplains, the Y. NJ. c. A., the knights
of Columbus, the Red Cross and the
Y. w. C. A., The A. L. A. will not at
tempt to set up libraries in France.
DR.. NJ. l.. Raney, librarian of Johns
Hopkins university, has gone to France
as representative of the A. L. A. His
main responsibility will be to make
certain that the books arriving in
France get into the hands of the men.
The A. L. A. War Service wishes also
to arrange with the war department to
add to the flow of books to France by
having every soldier that goes across
carry d book with him, a book that he
and his companions will read on the
way over and then hand to the Y. M. Q.
A. representatives upon his arrival, to
be sent to other soldiers.

Burton f. Stevenson, the author,
who is camp librarian ut Camp Sher-
man, o., says that the first three re-
quests that came to him We're, first,
for Il book on the valuation Of public
utilities; second, for Il book on CON
servation of national resources, and,
third, for n ROumanian dictionary. He
supplied the first two and later fur
nished the Roumanian dictionary.
A young soldier walked into Mr..
StevensOn's Office and asked for Il book
on motors. Mr.. Stevenson found one
which looked highly technical. The
young soldiers turned over the leaves
and handed it back.
"Shucks," he said, Il drew the pic
lures for this book. / want something
more advanced"
Mr.. Stevenson promptly sent for a
more advanced book.
Public Libraries Help.
A system of borrowing books from
public libraries all over the country
has proven a great aid to the camp
librarians and they have been making
the most of this privilege. All the Ii
braries are doing their bit toward max
ing the leisure hours of the soldiers
happy by lending the camps what they
need.
The camp librarians have found out
that an extremely high percentage of
the soldiers want to study. Most of
ing advantage of the opportunities Of
fered them by the American Library
association to read serious books. Be-
cause of the demand for serious litera-
ture the association has determined
to spend most of the money it has for
serious books and to look to the public
to donate fiction and light literature.
In the near future 1t will launch an in
tensive campaign for gift books. Judg-
ing from the freedom with which the
public has given books so far the assO-
citation has no misgivings as to the
outcome of its campaign.
The reason the campaign has not
been made before is that the associa-
ton wanted to perfect its organization
and arrange for the prompt handling
of the great flood of books it is eX-
pecting. So far the standard of books
donated has been high. Few persons
have shown an inclination to rid their
library shelves Of useless volumes at
the expense of the soldiers and sailors.
On the contrary, the best books have
been given. Occasionally undesirable
books are sent it, but they are prompt
ly thrown away by the librarian. In
fact, those who might be inclined to
send such books may as well save the
energy it would take to dispatch them.
They will never reach the soldiers.
Before it's camp library buildings
were completed the association dis
tributed it's books through the chap
lains of the Y. NJ. c. A, the Knights Of
Columbus. the Red Cross and other
organizations, which gladly volun-
teered TO handle them. These organi-
cations are still assisting in camp dis
tribution by receiving books at their
stations. The A. L. A. has established

Cheap Liquid Sugar

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters to broaden the use
of pure cane sirup, which is made from
cane Juice, without taking out any of
its sugar. This juice is boiled to a
point lust below that required to crys-
talize it into sugar, and can be used
not only for griddle cakes and candy
making, but it is recommended by the
planters as a sweetening for coffee and
tea. 1t is practically sugar in liquid
form, and on basis of eight cents a
pound retail for granulated sugar will
Weld economies of 40 to so per cent,
at a price of four and one-half to FIVE
cents q pound for sirup.
