BOOKS BEING RETURNED.
Donations of Iowa to War Libraries
Comma Back to State.

New York, Feb. 2O.-ApprOXimate-
" 200 OF the books which We're
provided thru the generosity of resi-
dents of Iowa for the army navy
and marine corps during the war
are being returned to this state by
the Amirecan Library Association,
after having seen service literally in
all parts of the world. -r-.
The books, among them many
technical volumes, recently were
shipped from New York by the
American Library Association to
Miss Julia Robinson, secretary of the
Iowa library commission at Des
Moines. Miss Robinson will have
charge of circulating the books thru
out the state. They are expected to
relieve temporarily the need for w.d-
er public library service, which.
since the war, has been acute in
Iowa as in every other state. --
In view of this need, the American
Library Association expects TO re-
ceive substantial support from the
residents of Iowa in It's undertaking
OF a nation wide effort to extend
public library facilities. The $50
citation is gathering 4 fund Of two
million dollars with which to carry
out this aim, as well as many other
features of program which will
make the public library vital force
in building up an intelligent, produc-
tive citizenship thruout the entire
United States. In the work of COL
lecting funds, Willis II. Kerr, librar-
ian of the state normal school at
Emporia, Kan, is serving as regional
director for Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska and Colorado.
In the use to be given the books
recently returned to the states, the
request has been made that the war
service purpose of the books be re-
| membered and that especial effort be
made 10 meet the needs OF ex-service
men with them. Sine rehabilitation

has found it necessary to maintain q

Chicago. Feb. po.-The practical
application OF religion as means of
putting the red peril" at rest has
been adopted by the Northern Baptist
Convention. which will raise among
It's members fund Of e10O, 900, 900.
Instead OF combining church activities

Baptists propose to begin an aggre-
sive campaign Of Americanization

States.
According to DR.. ]. Y. Aitchison,
director Of the general board of pro-
motion. the move marks one of the
greatest steps ever taken by any
church.
"The church is facing up" said DR..
Atchison. I'VE are going forward on
the theory that the church or denom-
ination or the man who hangs back
now is what Roosevelt would have
called a 'pussyfooter.' Where CHS
tianity dominates there cannot be
greed lust or hate. Certainly there
cannot be bolshevisYn.
THE Baptist churches of the north
believing that universal christianity
! is the only possible solution of world
unrest are joining upstan dinghy with
other protestant bodies In an effort
to spread religion by modern methods
of work coupled with the good old
fashioned requisites OF prayer and
faith"
or the s1OO,0OO,oo to be raised

fields in furnishing new equipment
required in the broader scope of the
plans for missionary activities. The
denomination has agreed upon q

the erection OF 1SS missionary re-
sidences, 241 missionary schools. &c
