Books for Our Soldiers

[ rom LeSlle $.
 One of the notable phases of the great war was an extraordinary development of the reading habit among American sol diers abroad. In the intervals between battles time often dragged, and good books were found to be means of oc- cupying, refreshing and uplifting the sol- diers and maintaining their morale. In camp and hospital men who had never read much before became eager readers The demand for reading matter from the intelligent members of the A. E. r. was enormous, and it was physically ins- possible to fully satisfy it. Seven million voulmes were supplied to them through nrares were opened in hundreds of camps,s naval and marine stations and on transports, but all this fell far short of the need, There are still hundreds of thousands of our men in France and Germany and they are not getting enough to read Three-quarters of a million books were required for them before July l. The kinds of books the soldiers want include, mainly novels of action and adventure and detective stories. but the standard authors are popular, and poetry or all sorts is appreciated There is also demand for up-to-date technical works and for new magazines. To furnish our soldiers With improving and entertainins reading IS benevolence that should an- peal to every American. Those who have books 10 spare or are willing to buy new copies for the army libraries ma communicate. with John Foster Carr campaign director American Library as soclatoa, 4.o Fifth avenue.

 In the making of this product only the highest grade of fresh milk Is used. Evaporated milk is milk from which large portion of the water has been evaporated by simple vacuum process and then sterilized. It contains not less than 26 per cent of milk solids of which not less than "A per cent is milk fat
 Evaporated milk Is unsweetened, while condensed milk contains about 30 per cent sugar which acts as a preservative. This is the distinction, which few people know. When one learns that one gallon of best evaporated milk equals two and half gallons whole milk one learns the value of purchasing evaporated milk
 When you use ordinary high grades Of fresh milk you get only per cent butter fat and P per cent solids to the gallon. That means that over 100 per cent more actual nutriment is contained in given quantity of evaporated milk than In the same amount of fresh milk.
 It is we'll known that evaporated milk has come into it's own during the period of high price of fresh milk, because IL is a highly concentrated food and De- cause it is cheaper and put up in form that will keep indefinitely.

L. F. SWIFT SAYS REPORT ON PACKERS
 HAS NOTHING NEW
Claims Federal Trade Commission Is an Effort to Influence Pro-
 posed Radical Legislation

Chicago, July 1.--Louis F. Swift, presi- dent of Swift and Company, today de- clared that the latest report of the Fed eral Trade Commission contained no new facts and was an evident effort to in- fluence at this time proposed radical legislation. Mir Swift said;
 This latest report of the Federal Trade Commission is merely an attack upon tions and should be resented by all Americans who are proud of the indus- trial progress of the nation. It contains nothing new and is an outgrowth of the former diScredited Heney exparte investi- gation. This report, so far as I am in- formed. contains absolutely no evidence of collusion among the five largest pack CTS and I say for Swift and Company as I have said many times, that we have no agreement of any kind with any other packer to affect the prices of live stock or meats. The manner in which the trade commission juggles figures and resorts to sensationalism betrays the in- sincerity of the commission. We are liv- ing up to both the spirit and the letter of the law and want to cooperate with the Government in every helpful and constructive way, but we must protest against the methods used by this inpor- tant branch of the Government. I say that the large packers and their in6ivid ual businesses are public benefit, and a decided factor in Keeping down the spread between livestock and meat prices.
 This report is put out now IS part of the propa ganda in which the trade commission with others is engaged seek ing to subject the packing industry and other lines of business to the arbitrary control of subordinate Government off cials through a license system It is to be regretted that in these days when the public feels keenly the pressure of high prices This has never been done fairly by the Federal Trade Commission, as re- gards the packing industry, although the commission has constantly had the most complete information In Its possession No one disputes that out of the total receipts of the packers, derived from the products of animals about S5 percent is paid out for the live animals them selves, about 13 percent is paid out for wages. transportation and other such expenses about per cent On this turn over is earned by the packer as net profit and no one disputes that this amount is but a small fraction of cent per pound, and that it is so neglibible as not in any event to effect the price which the consumer pays for meats.
 sThe report just issued by the trade commission and it's discussion of the number of subsiderary compan nies and it's calculations of. percentages of the classes of business handled by the pack CTS are not only erroneous, but are en- tirely inmaterial to the real question in which the public is interested. namely: Why are prices high? I do not believe that the findings of such prejudiced and unfair report should be used to in fIuence public opinion. or as basis for the radical legislation that has been in- troduced at Washington"

Lincoln or Lenire

Arthur Hunt Chute in Leslie s.
 On the 9th day of April. 1917, in the midst of cloud and storm, America un- furled her battle flag and called on all loyal citizens to rally~in defense of her freedom. While we were smiting down the black flag of the Hun, out of the miasmc east was rising an even yet more sinister banner, the red flag of Lenine.
 In the ascendency of Lenine the scum of the earth came to the ruling of na- ton. Under Ilenine took place the be- trayal and ruin of his native land. Never were a proud people plunged to such depths of shame and anguish as Russia under this cult. We talk of peace on earth, but we can have no peace on earth while this orgy of blood and tears remains The military autocracy of the K Kaiser was blessed condition compared with the terrorizing anarchy of Lenine. What profiteth our victory if, having fought Kaiserism to the death, we allow thrice accurSed boisheylsm to arise Tn it's stead?
 We must call back here in America tl,at high spirit of the out-and-outer, who would fight at the drop of the hat against every menace to home or flag. Our peace today was not bought by the politicians and the talking machines. Our peace was bought by the soldiers. While the so-
 
 white sheets in their quiet beds, the sol eiers lay in the wet and bloody line that guarded them from the foe.
 Today peace means more to the men who fought for it than to the men who talked for it: and there is still a cal for our fighting breed to stand on guart before their liberty. bought so dearly not with tongue and wind, but with cor dite and cold steel. Americanism ant bolshevism cannot mix One must ex clude the other, as they are based or diametrically opposing principles.
 It would be a good thing II these up. filters who are shouting the praises of tolshevism would pause and duly con s:der the virtues of Americanism. Lenine ir vites us to exchange our pleasant land for sewer of blood and filth and strange as it may seem there are many in our pleasant land attracted by his in- vitation Bill Haywood. Morris Hiiquit, John Reed and Lincoln Steffens are all quite willing to have us trade our present liberty for the pipe dreams of fanatics But what did these men ever do to help make secure our own beloved Amerioh? :?

DICKSON AND GREEN
 CLASH OVER BILL
Measure Would Require Banks to Pay Interest on
 School Funds
By ". J. ROLES

Montgomery July 11.-(SpeciaL) Representatives Dickson of Jefferson and Green of Dallas had a verbal clash in the house this morning over the bill introduced by MT. Dickson last winter which, if enacted into law, will require banks and other Repositories to pay interest on the daily average balances of county school funds on de- posit with them.
 MT. Green opposes the bill and while making an argument against it MT. Dickson charged that he was influenced by certain interests. Mir. Green took exception to the remark whereupon Mir. Dickson qualified his statement by saying that Mir. Green and other op- ponents of the measure were uncon- sciously influenced He said he had no intention to charge those who opposed the bill with dishonest motives, but this did not entirely satisfy MT. Green, who manifested considerable heat over the matter. The bill was finally con- tinued until the thirtieth legislative day which will be some two weks off.
 With the exception of one and pos sibly two the Jefferson county mem bers are for the bill It developed dur ing the recent investigation made by the senator and representatives from Jefferson county that the daily average balance of county funds on deposit with the banks in Birmingham is about $500, 900, and that the interest at 3 per cent on this will net the county schools about s1S,o00 a year.
 Treasurer Henry told the committee when he appeared before it that he was not receiving interest on the daily average balances. but there is no law requiring it's payment. It is to meet this situation that MT. Dickson intro ducad his bill

LUMBER MOSTLY KNOTS

Lumber being used at the camp is knots and sap, and some bark" the major said, adding it was of much in ferior quality to that which might be obtained from cutting trees at the camp. Construction on cost plus basis, which the major said obtained at the camp, was criticized by him, saying that one should not be paid 10 cents for every dollar spent. He favored the government doing the work by army engineers.
 George William Summers. formerly an appraiser in the real estate sec tion of the War Department, declared that all the land originally desired for the camp should have been purchased for s2.225, 900. and in this connection Representative McCulloch, republican. said that 95,000 acres already bought, or under contract or subject to con- demnation suits, cost s3.24S.00o
 One plantation bought for $433.00o was purchased. he said. few years ago for s32.000, and another tract, costing $1.S1 two years ago, was bought at SS an acre.
 Members of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, he neclared, seemed anxious to get good prices for land owned by persons trading in that city, but were not so much concerned with those living farther from the city. Columbus business men, Summers as serted, offered to get options on the land at half the price they afterward appraised the properties. When ths armistice was signed, Summers said that Colonel Eames urged him to buy some properties ito make the camp se-

 But there was a stake out east of Columbus" testified Critchfield, that someone had placed there and the world seemed to go around it. Col onel IT E. Flames, then in charge, had to come to Washington to get the change approved and the Secretary of War saw that a mistake had been made and the location was moved"
 Major Critchfield said he is now Tn charge of constructing the new firing range at the camp, but that it was a mile and a quarter from the place his board had regarded as best, because some in Washington thought they ought to lay out firing line from pie lures"
 How much did the government lose on this impossible place, east of Co., lumbus?' asked Chairman Mckenzie.
 why, it saved s2,0o0, ,000." answered Critchfield.
 But there also was some loss,"' per sisted the chairman.
 'fYes, but that was mostly for grad ing for railroad and other work that I don't know about"
 Asked if officers at the camp had not been in doubt as to the work, Major Critchfield responded:

COMMITTEE BEGINS
 PROBE OF PURCHASE
 OF CAMP BENN|NG
Baker Admits Making Mis- take in Proceeding With Work on the Camp at
 Columbus, Ga.
sy Associated Press


 WashtnKton, July 11.--Inquiry into the purchase of land for Camp Ben- ufng. near Columbus, Ga, and the ex- penses incurred in its development to the present was begun today by the special house committee investigating wartime expenditures on army train- ing fields.
 Secretary Baker. appearing before the committee. said that southern sites generally were favored by the War De- parem ment because weather conditions were more favorable to training sol diers.
 However. in referring to Camp Ben ming, the Secretary admitted making a mistake in proceeding with work on the camp, following the action of the Senate military committed Senator Hoke Smith. Georgia, was active in urging resumption of work at the camp.
 After Secretary Bakers appearance the committee called other witnesses to tell of activities at Camp Bennins Inquiry was directed at prices paid for
  the camp site, the salvage of valuable timber on the property and the suit ability of the rifle range selections.
 Major A B. Critchfield, formerly ad jutan1 general oSOhio said the disap proval of one rifle range by a board of which he was member led to the removal of the headquarters site to a point IA miles distant. The latter range was two miles wide and as long as you want it, perfectly level" said the major. Nine boards, he said, mad viewed the camp site, and made vari- ous sections for ranges without deter mining on this one.
 "The other range, east of Columbus. Ga~, near where the camp was then planned" said Major Critchfield, was too small One had to shoot over a railroad, at the grade, and a town of pretty good size was there for back stop"
