BOOKS FOR OUR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

For every man in service
there ought to be a book in ser
vice.
Library buildings have been
erected by the American Library
Association in "a of the large
camps. Each building accomo-
dates from 10000 to $1,000 vol
umes and from i75 to $50
readers. Besides these, numerous
branch libraries are maintained
in every camp. A fund of $780,
600 including grants for build
ings) has been given by the
American people for the work,
but this must be used largely for
erection and maintenance of
buildings, purchase of equipment
and supplies, and the purchase
of such books and periodicals as
cannot be obtained as gifts.
a million books are still needed
to meet the actual need and the
Association will conduct a ma
tional book drive from March f8
to March 25 to supply this need.
They want novels, tales Of adven-
ture, detective stories, and stan
dard fiction; up-tO-date books on
civil, mechanical, and electrical
engineering, the trades, business,
the professions, and agriculture; !;
lrecent books on military subjects,
mathematics, the sciences and
foreign languages; books of
travel, history, biography, poetry,
and the present war Books
should hr in fairly good condi-
ton.
You are asked to "do your bit
| by donating books you have read
and enjoyed books you might
like to keep, but the boys in
khaki will enjoy them, too.
ST. Maries has responded literally
to every call for war service and
we hope this request from the
Library War Service, American
Library Association, will meet
with a like response.
Leave your books at the Red
Cross Rooms or the Public Lii
brary.

claiming to be outside Of the

Gently arrested in Spokane on

there after being held a few days.
He carried an 1. w. w. card.
The second man gave his name

.dence as Colchester county, Nova
Scotia. He claims to be thirty
three years old. When he was
searched the officers found a
large red ribbon with the words

sible. In concluding will state
that most any grocer in ST.
Maries is more than willing to
turn their grocery stores over to
the Civic League at actual first
cost, and we.cone them to run
the same if they can run the
business on any less overhead
expense and get costs out of the
business. Should the groceries
be placed back on the old plan of
free deliveries it would mean an
added expense to the now high
prices, as no store can continue
to stay in business without
charging sufficient for their
wares to pay the expenses of
handling same"

explain the stickers and bulletins
by saying they were probably
calling on the members for fln-
ancial assistance in the defense
OF the case. Attorney Costello
stated that the newspapers had
conducted a campaign against
the 1. w. w. throughout the en-
tire Pacific northwest and espe-
cially the papers in circulation in
this section. AT the close of his
argument the judge announced
his decision as granting the
change.
Reports to the effect that the
members of the l. w. w. in the
city proposed to hold a parade
caused considerable excitement
here last evening and a meeting
.of citizens was held to consider
steps to prevent it. The reports
were to the effect that the I. w.
W., to the number of from 800
tC 500 were intending to parade
the streets, wearing red badges
and singing I. w. w. songs.
Within few minutes fifty citi-
zons had gathered and a plan of
action to prevent the proposed
parade was agreed upon. Attor-
Iney J. l.. Wallace, representing
the l. w. W., was called to at
tend the meeting and notified that
under no circumstances would
the citizens allow the parade to
be held. Mr.. Wallace stated that
he had not heard of any such
contemplated action and wished
to state that he was opposed to
any such demonstration and
would at once get into cOmmuni-
catiin with the leaders of the or
ganization and attempt to pre-
vent it.
The citizens then agreed upon
course to be adopted if an at
tempt was made to start the
parade and also agreed upon a
plan of action for the future un-
der similar circumstances. Later
in the evening a number Of the
! 1. w. w. congregated in one of
the hotels and started to sing
some of the songs of the orgni-
zation but were stopped by order
Of Sheriff holland.
Lars Anderson, a member of
the organization, was arrested
last night by Sheriff holland and
Chief Of Police Steele for putting
up stickers referring to change
of venue and J. F. Strand was
arrested this morning by Deputy
Sheriff BOutOn for the same Of
tense. The stickers in question
are as follows: Taxpayers, can't
you give a man a fair trial in
lyour own county?" and "TaNpay-
ers, can you stand for more mile
age by having trials moved out
of Benewah county? Don't the
sheriff stick you for mileage
enough now? Look up the

the date on which the men shall
