MEN
 NEED BOOKS
AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIA- TON MAKING CAMPAIGN TO SECURE BOOKSF OR EX-SER- VICE MEN.

Approximately 3,900 of the books which were provided through the gen. erosity of residents of Arkansas for the army, navy and marine corps dur ing the war are being returned to this stat eby the American Library As sociation, after having seen service lit orally in all parts of the world.
 The books, among them many tech nical volumns, recently were shipped from New York by the American Li- brary Association to Miss Beatrice Prall, librarian of the Public Library at Little Rock. Miss Prall will have charge of circulating the books thro' out the state. They are expected to relieve temporarily the need for wid- CT public library service, which, since the war, has been acute, especially in Arkansas.
 Statistics recently compiled by the United States Commissioner of Edu- cation show that there are public li- braries for less than ten pere ent of the population of the state.
 In view of this need, the American
 Library Association expects to receive
 substantial support from the residents of Arkansas in it's undertaking of
 nation wide effort to extend public library facilities. The Association is
 gathering a fund of two million dol-
 lars with which to carry out this aim, as well as many other features of program which will make the public library vital force in build ing up an intelligent, productive citl-
 zenship throughout the entire United States. In the work of collecting funds Dr. T. M. Owens, Director of the Division of Library Extension of the Department of Archieves and History, at Montgomery, Alabama is serving as regional director for Ark ansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi- ana and Tennessee.

OFF-YEAR FOR POLITICIANS
 GENERALLY PREDICTED

Slowly, but certainly it is dawning on the professional politicians that this is to be an off-year for them. This feeling is sweeping the nation and there are unmistakable signs that Arkansas is included.
 This all bodes we'll for good gov- ernment.
 I here and again renew my prom ise to do what 1 can to free my na- tive state of the deadening and par alyzing influence of pie-counter poli- tics if elected governor. The protected politicians are try ing hard to settle upon leader in
 the governorship contest. A month ago it was freely announced that this leader had been found, but the an- nouncement was decidedly anti-cli- max, for the people utterly refused
 to warm up to the proposition.
 But remember, the politician never
 sleeps His clan may yet settle upon
 a standard bearer. If unable to get together upon one of the present en-
 trants they may put in clark horse" They want a winner. They fear they haven't got one. Clearly, they are in distress.
 1 But more than one of the present i contestants is making love to the poli-
 ticians and it may be easier for them
 to come together on one of the pres
 ent candidates than to put up a new l one. The situation will do to watch l Only one thing is certain, and that
 is, they will not be for me. If
 win the governorship it must be with
 out their advice. They may vote fol
 me if they like, but I put them on
 notice must decline their aid
 in running the governors office if
 I win.

 Stock Show will be ovss in Liberty Hall and the decorators can then complete the balance of the building in time for the opening of the show on March 2.

This building will be removed the day after the show closes. The local dealers have spent about $25, ,00O on this show, and it will be by far the most expensive display of auto mobiles ever made in Arkansas.

CHAPTER xI.-continued.

IT filed Andrea with a premonition
and brought her a desperate courage.
She took off her high-heeled slippers
and climbed down several rungs Of the
ladder that led to her platform; then
seating herself and getting q good
knee-grip On the limb, she leaned down
and gradually worked loose the cleat
below her. After that she took the next
above and then the next, depositing
each cIeat as she removed it in her
room.
No sooner had she finished, leaving
herself cut off from easy access to the
outside world but in compensation
having established substantial OBJ
stacEe to sudden assault from below,
than she was aware of the whispering,
wheezy sound of heavy breathing. I'M
mediately afterward came to her dis
tended nostrils an overpOwering odor
of gin, nauseatingly sweet and sour at
the same time. She looked down into
the shadowy gloom and saw MacClos-
.ter's bulk moving slowly upward, rung
by rung, each movement as deliberate
and repulsive as that of giant sloth.
Gripping one Of the loosened cleats
in her right hand, she knelt on the
edge Of the platform and watched
breathIessly his progress. When he
came to the break in the ladder his
