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

| The American Library Association,
| in announcing its 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 solution of the problem of supply
| ing good literature 70 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 2,964 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments Of good books are
being made from the central point in
the county to the designated outposts.
California stands out as the highpoint
in the successful application of the
idea. OF the 90 counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system al tritling cost. This ii urges
as part of its enlarged program which
aims to promote a 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 its 1000 active librarian men,
bers- and its 40 years of practical func-
tloning, is in a position to know the
needs Of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge Is a force to be
reckOned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of $2,OOO,OOO. There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rlans, library trustees and friends OF
libraries The movement for better
citizens and we'll read population Is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

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 fiOcked ia
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-
stion sud who are now enlisted in a
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 PEG.
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
sound foundation I'm Americanism
can be easily built among the foreign
born II 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 a 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.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUN
FAv0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
ace-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out IL they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms OF their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring Ito improve the favour and
burning qualities Of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of f1avorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious OF all
fiavorings-chocolat And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity OF TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quietly distinsuish from
any other tobacco. Try it and Gee.

BRIGHT FUTURE FOR
! BEEKEEPING IS SEEN
Enlarged American Consumption
of Honey to Continue.
Exports .! Product During War to Al.
lied Countries Increased at Least
Ten Times-Two Destructive
Brood Diseases.

II American beekeepers are able to
meet increasing demand, the enlarged
American consumption Of honey Will
continue, says the annual report OF
the chief Of the bureau Of entomology,
United States department of >agricul-
ture. During the war our exports OF
honey to the allied countries increased
ut least ten times, and the domestic
use also went much higher. The in
creased export demand has continued
since the end of hostilities, and the
bureau sees reason to expect that this
market will continue to be an impor-
tant factor In American Bookkeeping.
Local sales of honey near the points
Of production have increased more
rapidly than sales in the larger mar
kets, but this can readily be remedied,
according to the report, by the further
development of the business of bot
Ting honey.
The tendency to collect the bees Of
the country in the hands of CONNER
cial beekeepers is viewed as whole
some sign for the development of the
industry. Prevalence of two destruc-
tive brood diseases, and especially the
necessity Of careful study of beekeep-
ing problems in order to obtain
maximum crops, make it almost i'm.
possible for the person having only
few colonies TO give the care essential
for good Bookkeeping. Only the man
who makes bookkeeping his chief work
may expect to get proper returns, says
The bureau.

ANIMAL FOOD IS ESSENTIAL
Farmer Makes Mistake In NeoIeeting
I Any Of Elements in Ration
Stimulating Eggs.

Many poultry flocks which receive
an abundance OF fine quality grain do
not lay many eggs in the winter due
to a lack Of animal food like sour
milk, buttermilk or beef scrap. Many
experiments by practical farmers
prove the value Of both beef scrap and
sour milk In the hens ration. At the
present price Of grain and eggs the
farmer can hardly afford to neglect
any of the elements In the ration
which enable the hen to pay for her
feed.

NEW LONDON AND ITS POLICE FORGE.

n regard te the arrival and departure of trains.
 There vas sincere regret when Mir. Kennedy passed on. He was just the man for the important place. Per- haps not fit for night patrol duty on the outskirts of the city. So it is in New London at the present time. Some assignments ought to be perm anent in the police department. It would not interfere with the cherish ed and expensive three platoon sys- tenn, but it would be giving some of the veterans of the force a real square deal.
 The resignation of pr. chipnian, health eficer was so sudden and un- explained. that the dear public is very much interested in knowing the cause. He surely rendered efficient service and carried on the work along the lines laid down by Dr. John T. Black. who is a specialist in that and now the head of the health de- pertinent of the state. An ordinance was recently adopted by the court of common council fixing the salary at '$3, 300 year, conditioned that the health officer give his time and ser vice exclusively to the duties of the office. It is believed that Dr. Chip man while willing to serve as health officer, he could not afford to give up his extensive practice in order to hold the position of health officer. This new ordinance is another re- hinder that little New London is in- 3clined to lead. not follow in all that pertains to progressiveness. , Not a real bad salary to De paid by "a small city. But it is more than twice as much as was paid Dr. Black, whose qualifications in that line can not be excelied. The city declined to advance his salary and he quit the office and the city. New London has a good. health officer and his ser vice was not appreciated. ; A Dr. William A. Mitchell. who served in the army in charge of the health of a big camp. and who spec ialized in public health, was offered the position, and he promptly accept ed and will assume the duties in about week. IT so inclined, the
 new health officer will have ample time to devote himself to the far ther study of his profession.
