More books. is the cry that was
raised by the soldier boys who are do
ing police duty in Eurepe and have
nothing to read during tn ir idle mo-
ments. This call is being suitably
answered in this city since IL was an
nounced this morning that a total of
$50 books hal been collected here in

paign were being completed the IL
brarian here. Miss Helen NJ. Grannis,
was informed that a quota of 500
books had been allotted TO this city.

seven days" The drive Will extend
through Monday of next week and all

the soldiers since the drive started on
Monday. Troop 4 boasts h a they
have collected over 500 books them
selves, getting 3S1 on the first day out
and enough on the second canvass TO
