To oarc for the American forces in
France and the Army Of Occupation in
Germany, the American Library Assc.
citation Is planning TO deliver an add !.
tional 10000 books IN France before
July LIST
To meet the need, the A. L. A. has
found II necessary to call upon tho
American people for half q million
books. The balance $4,000 books il
expected to come from the libraries Of
the American camps which are clos
ing.
just why the Association has found
II necessary to call for fresh reading
matter in addition to the two and onc
quarter million books which have al
ready been shipped overseas Ia dis
closed by the fact that books in mill
tary service undergo extraordinarily
hard usage. II il estimated that u
book in war service wears out seven
times as fast AZ book issued by 4
public library. A popular book Of iic-
ton in camp or in the field In prac-
tically At for the discard when Il has
been issued TO four men, whereas the
same book in public library would
not show the same degree Of wear un-
til IL Ind been issued 80 times.
A good book Is passed from hand 70
hand. An exciting western novel is
read by score Of men In an incred-
IDLY short time, and Ia ready to fall to
pieces when the man who borrowed IL
returns II TO the library.
One A. L. A. librarian reports, sew
cral days after new shipment Of fc-
ton had been received:
"The A8 volumes Of Zane Gray had
all circulated from the main library
within 10 hours Of their location on
the shelves---some are returning now
for the second or third time 70 circul-
ate again before they reach the
shelves. am positive that some have
been read twenty times--they look
like veterans already"
II is the books by authors popular
with men, the volumes that wear out
rapidly, Of which tho American LIZ
brary Association is most In need to
aid the forces overseas to while away
the weary hours Of waiting. A list Of
authors especially In demand includes
such writer's as Rex Beach, B. M. Bow.
er, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Zane Grey,
Henry Herbert Knipps, o. Henry.
Peter B. Kyne, f. Phillips Oppenheim.

ture. chairman; S. H. L~owenberg, Of
Natchez; J. A. Evans, Of Muldon; r. c..
King, of Greenwood; r S. Wilson, Of
Agricultural college.
C.. A. Cobb, in charge of corn club
work in Mississippi, told the conference
of the wonderful possibilities offered in
the greater production of corn as a sub
stitute for cotton, urging the planting
OF as many acres as possible in this
crop, He urged that Mississippi plant
ers raise enough corn for their needs
Without Importing any from other
states.
S. H, Lowenberg, of Natchez, in the
principal address of the day, said the
situation facing the South at present is
the most serious since reconstruction
day. and that upon its solution de-
South would be independent or be
dictated to. He urged sven greater re-
duction than one-third, and told farm
ers who were not certain all Of the
crop could be picked before frost fell
usually about Nov. 15-not to plant, be-
cause cotton left exposed deteriorated
and low-grade staple was hard to dis
pose Of.
T. V. Wensel explained the publicity
campaign being waged by many cotton
factors Of the South, with himself as
chairman, and of the challenge being
sent the %spinners of the Northern and
Eastern states to come and get the cot
ton and at prices better than offered
heretofore. Advertisements are being
carried in all the large Eastern news
papers and trade journals and in the
Southern press, too.
Inward OF 500 were present at the
conference and it was declared a great
success, those present going away feel
ing that something was really accom-
plished. =

The actors and singers recently nave

In Moscow, it is reported, the players

lowered and the demand is for guam
tity rather than quality. Special con-
certs are held for the red guard army,

The number of cheap dance halls and
caharets has been increased greatly by

singers are in the first rank of the

VILLA BAND SWOOPS
DOWN; TAKES TOWN

JUAREZ, Feb. 2S.-Martin Lopez,
Villas second in command, swept down
on. the little railroad station Of Moe
te2uma in the dawn Of Wednesday,
drove the federal guard Of 40 soldiers
into the sand hills, where they fought
for six hours, after Lopez had ordered
the railroad station burned, the bridges
dynamited and had occupied the plaza.
Lopez ordered his own telegraph
operator to connect with the military
wire and intercepted messages sent by
Gen. Jesus Agustin Castro from his
military train here to the general head
quarters In Chihuahua City. When Gen.
Castro's operator asked the Moctezuma
operator who he was, he received in a
reply a volley Of oaths over the wire,
after which the telegraph line went
down.
Gen. Castro announced last night he
did not know the fate of his small gar
rison at MocteZuma, as nothing has
been heard from there since the wire
was cut. II is feared the 40 men were
annihilated. Gen. Castro sent a work
train and troop train south and ordered
another to proceed south last night to
locate the Villa band. He does not
anticipate an attack on Juarez, although
he is isolated from the south.
