time for work, sleep, or play, and
recrea ton. By reading two dozen
good books year, any boy may,
before he is 20 years old. become
familiar with a large part of the
best literature of the yorld, fill his
mind with helpful ideas and noble
ideals, and gain much of the finest
culture that the world can offer.
Many men have attained all this
with less of opportunity than lis
presupposed here.
For reasons easily understood,
books on religion are not included
in this list. But every American
boy, of whatever church he may be,
or if he be of no church, should
know the English Bible and read
it constantly.
A coed book should be read more
than once, and every boy should
own some of the books that he
reads. Books are cheap, and money
paid for them is we'll invested and
will lay large dividends in life and
happiness and even in money.
Most Giles and towns in the
United States and some country
communities have good public IL
braries; and many public schools.
both in city and country. have good
collections. Every community in
which boys and girls live should
have a public library with all the
books of this list and many others
in it.
If there is no such library in your
community in the school or else
where, then you should get all the
boys and girls to work with you
and not rest until there is one. =,
Readers who wish to secure the
bureaus certificate must notify the
bureau at the time they begin each
book, and when each book is fin
ished they must send summary
consisting of a description of the
principal characters. the chief cpl
sodes, and their own impressions.
Some OF the books do not lend
themselves to this form of sum-
mary. In these cases send a brief
statement of the essential features
of the books.
BY applica ton to local or state
libraries readers may be able to
borrow these books. The Bureau
of Education does not furnish them.

factory evidence of having read all
the books in this list, a certificate
will be awarded bearing the seal
of the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation and signed by the Commits
sioner of Education.

Remember This Formula.

1t is a little too early for the
lawn mower trade, but 1t will pay
you to cut out this formula and put
it in your desk for future reference.
Sprinkle powdered pumice stone
thickly upon smooth hard sur
face. Make it the width Of a lawn
mower and about two feet long.
Moisten it with machine oil, and
run the lawn mower backward and
forward over it, as il moving.
Touch up any parts not perfectly
sharpened, with file. By bring
ing all the lawn mowers to an old
barn, or some other central point
the amount OF pumice stone re-
quired will not be large. and the
process can be kept secret.

Eleven Hundred Men Killed In Battle
Between Poles and czechs, As Re-
suit Of Dispute Over Rich

London.-The new republic OF
Poland now has two wars on it's hands.
Polish and Ukralnian troops are en-
gagged In conflict with soviet Russia
on great battlefront stretching from
the Dyina river to the Lower Dnieper
river Vienna reports that war has
broken out between the Poles and
Czecho-Slovaks in the disputed Tes-
chen region of what once was Austria
Silesia. So far as known, the allies
have not taken any decisive steps to
end either of the conflicts in eastern
Europe.
War between the Poles and Czecho-
Slovaks has broken out in Teschen,
formerly a part of Austrian Silesia,
and 100 men were killed In battle
on Thursday, according to Vienna
dispatch to the Daily Express.
Fighting with rifles and machine
guns has been in progress in the Kar-
win district since Wednesday and the
civil population is in flight.
Czech reinforcements are being
rushed up to the front from Ostrau.
Entente troops sent into the Tes-
chen district pending plebiscite were
reported by Vienna to be remaining
passive.
Near Donberau, the Poles were said
to be masters of the situation.
The administration that was set up
at Karwin in the Teschen district Is
being moved to Udlaw.
Polish and Czecho- Slovakian Off
Gals have made counter charges as
to responsibility for the fighting. The
original dispute was over rich coal
fields in the Teschen district, which
both sides claim.

FINAL DRIVE OF THE CAMPAIGN
Last Of Delegates to Republican Con-
vention Have Been Selected.

Chicago for the Repub-
lican nomination for the presidency on
May % opened their final drive to
capture the 49S votes that spell vic
tory in the convention which opens
here one week from next Tuesday.
The last of the 9S4 delegates who
will sit in the convention were Sc
iected on May %, when Vermont Re
pubiieans chose eight delegates.
Major General Leonard Wood, pres
ent returns show, will enter the con-
vention with more Instructed votes
than any other candidate, but his total
OF lob Is less than one-third of the
number necessary to win the nominal
tion.
The division of strength among the
large field OF ''favorite sons" prac-
aeally precludes any possibility of a
nomination on the first ballot. Even
the most optimistic campaign man
ayers here are not claiming victory be
lore the third ballot, and the more
conservative party leaders predict the
break will not come before the fifth
OF sixth at the earliest
