body Wants, But Good Litera-
ture is What Soldiers
Desire.

! me American library ASSOCIATION is
appealing again to Miss Mamie 2.
1 Fulton, of the Keokuk public library,
to aid them in securing additional
books for the soldiers who are still
| in the service
They point out that there is a great
er need for good books now than there
ever has been before, for the men are
all impatient to get out. and If the
morale is to be kept up they must be
provided with good reading matter.
A great many donors of books have
come to realize that soldiers are no
less discriminating readers as soldiers,
than they were as civilians, therefore
they are not clearing out their attics
OF books which they themselves have
no use for in the belief that by rid
ding themselves OF trash, they are
providing the fighting men with good
literature instead, say the Keokuk
librarians.
But there are still some who do
their patriotic bit in this manner. and
those in charge Of the work are en-
phasizing that the need is for good
fiction and scientific works, with class
les being very acceptable.
A representative of the Library OF
Congress recently went aboard trans
pert to study the literary tendencies
oe the men, and his findings were
rather surprising to those who thought
they knew something about the Amer
lean dougboy.
What the Soldiers Read.
"The men were hungry for books,
he said. "As soon as they came aboard
at Saint Nazaire, and. discovered. the
presence Of a library, had fighting
line ranged before MY window which
lasted several days" The books were
handed out to the line of men who
PRESENTED themselves at the large
square window opening out onto the
deck from the room in which the rep
res entatives of the welfare organiza-
tons aboard had their Offices.
"The biggest demand was for west
crn stories and American love stories.
Then came the call for books on agri-
culture. All the books in the trans
tort library found readers. Books ON
Ir1achinery went out rapidly and there
were specific demands for books on
boiIermaking, Bookkeeping, and nayiga-
ton"

Every book aboard found reader.

was not wholly successful the first
time. Hawthorne's 'Blithedale Ro-
nance for instance, came back to me
twice. The first man brought 1t BACK
10 me after half an hour. He said It
was too slow The second man Kept
ii a little longer, but brought 1t back
finally with the observation that 1t was
100 highbrow,' but with the third man
1t found It's reader. He kept it for
two days and returned 1t to me with
the declaration that it was the finest
hook he had ever read. He asked for
more Hawthorne"
Miss Fulton makes the request that
the people of Keokuk help to finish
the Job by bringing their books to the
public library to be sent on to the
fighters
