royalty entertain the 500 or 600 dele
gates which are expected to attend
the Sunday School convention which
is to be held by the State Association
for Southeast Missouri, April 9, 10 and
IL.
Delegates from the counties south
of and including St. Francois and west
Of and including Howell are included
in this convention territory. 1t is
something new for Southeast Missouri
and Sikeston is fortunate in getting
this initial meeting.
The speakers will include John L.
Alexander, Teen Age Specialist, and
Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner, Elementary
Specialist, both having a worldwide
reputation as Sunday School experts,
also some of the best Sunday School
talent in Missouri.
There will be four main sessions; in
the afternoon and evening of both
the 9th and 10th of April and the
morning of the 18th, also four or more
sectional conferences.
st. Francois county ranks as one of
the best organized counties in the
state and should have a good repre-
sentation, as it is rare opportunity
for this vicinity, and Sunday School
workers are urged to make plans now

BOY SCOUTS MAKE THRIFT
STAMP DRIVE THIS WEEP

The local Boy Scouts, under direc-
ton of Scoutmaster Jake Karsch, be-
gan Monday the vigorous and sys-
tematic sale of Thrift Stamps in
Pennington, making a careful, house
to house canvass. Each sale, as made,
is reported on a special card to Post
master Smith, who later delivers the
stamps to the purchaser. Beginning
next week, March 18th, the Scouts
will begin a drive for books for the
soldiers in camp. Under direction of
the national organization, which has
sent out an approved list of the au-
thors whose books are wanted by the
soldiers, the boys will collect all pos
sible donations of these books, turn
them over to the Public Library in
Pennington, by whom they will then
be shipped to the proper parties fer
distribution in the training camps and
at the front. This is commendable
work Of the scouts, and shows again,
if any showing were needed, the adj
mirable character of the special SER
vices for the nation that are being
performed by these patriotic, intelli-
gent and well trained boys, under the
leadership of the able and unselfish
men who are their leaders and in
structors.

GIVE BOOKS TO
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

The Library War Service of the
American Library Association is ex-
tending ITS work already established
in thirty-four camps, by sending
books to the men "over there" With
several hundred thousand books in it's
free circulating camp libraries and
branches, it needs many thousands
moreto meet the demands being made
uponSit. Its fund, generously given
by the public last autumn, is being
used to purchase books which will
not come through gifts, and for pur-
chasing great" quantities of books in
England for our troops in France to
save transportation across the ocean.
Not the least hopeful sign of the
many which are being brought to at
tention by the war, is the use of the
libraries provided in training camps
by the Library War Service, of the
American Library Association. The
abundant leisure time in the life of
an enlisted man can well be spent in
study and recreational reading. The
man returned to civil life will be bet
ter for the reading facilities supplied
at camps. Books are necessary to
the soldiers from the university I'M
dergraduate student-body. They are
equally necessary to the soldier seek
ing promotion through efficient prepa-
ration. We know how helpful they
can be to the young men who, for the
first time, have plenty of leisure in
which to cultivate a reading habit.
The several hundred thousand vol
umes now in the Camp Libraries and
branches are quite inadequate to meet
the demands Of constantly increas-
ing army and navy. Men in France,
or fighting at sea in foreign waters,
need books in leisure hours. Soldiers
on transports and in detached camps,
men in hospitals, all appreciate the
helpful influence of good books.
The public should be glad to parti-
cipate in the nationwide "Book Drive"
to be carried on during the week be-
ginning March IS. Private collec-
lions will furnish the many thousands
of books needed, whose present own
ers will gladly transfer them to Ar
my and Navy Camps.
The necessity of Public Libraries to
people living under normal conditions,
is intensified to soldiers living in
camps under abnormal conditions.
Certainly all may enthusiastically
join in the "Book Drive.
Send your books to the High School
next week.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

1t has pleased God, in His infinite
wisdom and goodness, to call from
our Lodge and his home one of our
Oldest members, Bro. ]. L. Counts.
Although deeply grived by this sad
loss, still we feel confident that those
who really knew will ever cherish a
realization of his many kindly acts,
both as man and friend. To him
the cordial virtues of Friendship, Love
and Truth were reality; and those
sublime teachings-Faith, Love and
Charity were his daily guide.
Be it resolved, that our deepest ex-
preston of sympathy and love be ex-
tended to his wife and children for
their loss. And may the future bring
more kindness to relieve their sor-
row and grief; and be it further
Resolved, that the resolutions be
placed upon the minutes of our Lodge
and that a copy be sent to the family.
