LIBRARIANS join
FIGHT ON UNREST
American Library Association In
augurates Nationwide Books
for Everybody" Movement.
WILL AID FOREIGN BORN.
Social Problems Can Be Solved
by Teaching American Ideals
and Traditions.

The spirit of unrest that has been
sweeping the country indicates that
the foreign born, who have f1Ocked to
the United States from every corner OF
the globe have not been given the
proper help and encouragement, in the
opinion of the 1000 librarians who
make up the American Library Associ-
alton and who are now enlisted in
Books for Everybody movement.
The effort is a concerted movement
to carry out the Enlarged Program
which the association has adopted.
There are approximately fifteen mil
lions of foreign born in the United
States and of this number six millions
do not read or speak the English Ian
guage One phase of the Enlarged
Program will be to bring the publisher
and translator together with the view
of furnishing the proper books in suf-
ficient numbers to carry the message
Of American ideals and traditions to
this vast army of uniformed peo-
pie. They have been largely dependent
upon the foreign press for their writ
ten messages. Many men who live
with their fingers on the pulse of cur
rent events are firmly convinced that
a sound foundation In Americanism
can be easily built among the foreign
born if the proper literature is placed
within their reach in a language they
can understand.
No Drive to Be Held.
In order to carry out the Enlarged
Program two million dollars will be
required. This money will not be
sought through the medium of cam
paign or an intensive drive, but will
be obtained through the individual eff
forts of the librarians, library trustees
and friends of Libraries. The Amer
lean Library Association will bend
every effort to bring about the ma
tion-wide adoption of each OF the
cardinal points in the Program, which
includes the extension of the county IL
brary sytem and the establishment OF
more industrial and business libraries.

ALL CROSSROADS
American Library Association
Urges Adoption of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the Pioneer-0ther
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association,
in announcing it's Books for Every
body" movement, which is to be nation
wide in its scope, advises and urges the
extension of the county library system
as a solution Of the problem Of supply
ing good literature 10 the rural dis
tricts Its intention is to persist in
advocating the nationwide adoption
Of the idea as successfully applied in
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one Of the 1894 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments Of good books are
being made from the central point Ia
the county to the designated OutpOsts.
California stands out as the highpOint
in the successful application Of the
idea. OF the SO counties in the state
~ have adopted and are supporting the
system at trifling cost. This it urges
as part Of its enlarged program which
aims to promote better citizenship
and to combat the social and industrial
unrest through the teaching Of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs Of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside Of
the big cities will be called to the at
tentiOn of those in position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of library
building and the stocking of its shelves.
In many cases the tools already exist.
From this central station books will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
tons. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post Of
fees, schoolhouses and private homes.
When one shipment has been circulat-
ed and returned another will be sent
out. Also, in communities of any size
in the county, branch libraries will be
maintained.
THE American Library Association
with it's 1000 active librarian men,
bers and its 40 years of practical func-
tioning, is in a position to know the
needs of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge is force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of $2,OOO,OO0 There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rians. library trustees and friends az

Bile winter in the mountains" he says,
land the existing food supply is entire
~ inadequate for the great number of
refugees without resources of any
kind.
'By recent agreement between the
premiers Of the republics of Armenia,
Azerbaidjan and Georgia to cease hos
tilities and settle all differences by
arbitration one obstacle to relief work
in the Caucasus has been removed and
makes accessible great number OF
destitute people who otherwise would
perish this winter
1.-TWO hundred thousand destitute
Armenians and Tartars can now be
reached in the districts Of Karabagh,
Shusha and Nakhichevan, In the SOUTH
east section of the Trans Caucasus, and
we are planning to extend our work
there. The economic situation is SO
desperate and food supplies so scanty
that the Georgians have ordered 1O0,-
600 persons, mainly Russian refugees
without employment. to leave the city
of Tiflis. About $4,000 workers in the
oil fields Of Baku have been ordered BY
the Azerbaidjahese to leave the city
because there is no work for them and
food is scarce.
Around every station along the rail
way are gathered groups Of hundreds
Of homeless people lying huddied to-
gether on the ground, the majority OF
them too weak even to try TO help
themselves From time to time the
stronger ones climb on freight cars and
move elsewhere, always seeking better
conditions, which do not exist. Two
hundred and sixty-three thousand
homeless refugees from Turkish Arme-
MIA thus are constantly milling about
throughout Russian Armenia, max
ing the relief work conducted by the
Americans a problem requiring infinite
patience and organizing ability.
s.This is especially true in view OF
the existence Of 248,O0O destitute in
habitants of Russian Armenia who pos
sess homes, but no food, as well as
10000 Greeks, Russians, Persians,
Syrians and Yezidis who have been
driven out of parts of TranScaucasia.
''One hundred and forty thousand
Moslems, whose villages were destroy
ed in the course of five years of con-
slant warfare, are helplessly encamped
in the open around villages of their
former enemies, begging infnitesimal
quantities of flour, which they mix with
dirt to give the illusion of nourish-
ment.
"These hundreds of thousands of suf-
fering adults, mostly homeless and
lacking every necessity of life, having
nothing more to lose, are concentrated
in a country as yet inadequately po-
Iced or governed. They constitute

Deeds Count. Not Years.

In the Olden time people sought the
fountain Of youth, and they thought
that draught of its water would enc
able them to live forever. But the
best of life is not it's length, not the
chronological quantity Of it. Better
fifty years of the moving, pulsating,
busy life of the present than all the
dull centuries of Methuselah. What
did he do with all his weary years?
He had the reputation of having been
the Oldest man, and nothing to show
for it.-Exchange.

Keep ACCOUNT.

Farming is hu:sil,es's the same as
banking or running a mercantile estab-
lishment. There are products to be
sold and articles TO be bought. The
keeping of a record of these and de-
terminirg the relation of the outgo to
the income are important considera-
lions on every farm. The farmer
should know what his income is and
just how he is disposing of 1t. he
can know this only by keeping books
