Templeton has given the Clarke Lib

The Clarke Library has been loan

and seventy-fve juvenile books, rang

high school age. These books are
loaned for limited length of time,
and when returned will be replaced

Books and pamphlets have been
sent to take care of extra demands
for material on different holidays, and
at Christmas we were given annotated
lists of Christmas books for distribu.

The commission gave us about a
dozen up-to-date books covering bust

Every request we have made for

geant Alvin York is about to lose his
farm near here because he cannot meet
mortgage of. S12,50o due on it this
1all. The outstanding American hero
OF the World War, who with his own
hands captured 1872 Germans in the
argonnc on October IS, 1918, has found
the drop in corn and produce prices in
the last year a much tougher enemy
than the -Boche~ machine guns.
But if he loses his farm York will
retain his self-respect. Under no con-
sideration will he exhibit himself for
profit, though to do so would net him
tar more than enough to pay off the
mortgage. His religious scruples and
sense of obligation to the nation won't
permit him to capitalize what he calls
can act of Providence" And so to-day
he is working in the fields and worry
ing how he will meet the note and take
care of his wife and Alvin jr.
Sergeant York could pay his note
and his grocery bill of $3.50, about which
the store is getting restiye, if he
would do one thing capitalize his war
record by giving lectures fos fat fees,

Lasker Asserts
HardinggBacked
Liner Seizures
Action Was Taken as Result
of Unanimous Vote of
Board to Protect the In
terests of Fleet, He Says
Political Move Denied
Chairman Refuses Further
Comment Until Court
Gives Decision in Case

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Chairma ar
Lasker, of the United States Shipping
Board, announced here this afternoon
that the seizure of the Shipping
Board vessels in the custody of thu
United States Mail Steamship Com
pany had the knowledge and approva
of President Harding and was under
of the board members.
Because Of the fact that the case
has been placed in the hands of the
court, Chairman Lasker said that he
, did no. feel at liberty to comment
too freely upon it,
Chairman Lasker said, however, that
the boards action in sezing the yes
sells was to protect the interests of the
people of the country and the mer.
chant marine. He insisted that any
statement at this time might be
rrejudicial to the boards case now
pending in court,
The Shipping Board chairman vehe-
mently denied the imputation in mes
sage addressed to him by The New York
World that the boards action was
political move"
''The first ! heard there was politics
III our action" he said, "was contained
in the message from the World. The
action was taken by the unanimous
agreement Of the Shipping Board"
In reply to the telegram from The
New York World, Chairman Lasker SEN
the following message:
Returning to Washington to-day,
find your telegram of even date await
ing me. Mr.. Schlesinger, general coun
sci Of the board, who has charge of the
case, is in New York to-day. | am ex.
pecting him here tomorrow. Any state
ment when issued must obviously be
given to the entire press simultane-
ously, though of course in no event car
we answer questions during court pro
ceedings which might be prejudicial to
the governments interests through dis
closing our case in advance to the other
side. Such action as we have taken
has been solely for the purpose of pro
tecting the best interests of the people
of the United States and their merchant
marine. We are as anxious as you can
be TO have the people of the United
States fully informed as to our action
so that they may judge for themselves
but we feel that this purpose will best
be served by court presentation in al
orderly way, and l am sure on consid-
Grafton you will concur in that view"
With Chairman Lasker when the
newspaper men were received this
afternoon, were the members of the
board OF operations, Messrs. Smull,
Love and Frey, and Admiral w. s.
Bepson, during whose administration
of the Shipping Board the agreeme mt

Enough to Meet Mortgage Payment

writing articles for newspapers ane
magazines and acting in films, But he
has said that he would lose his farm
first.
II would far rather lose my farm anl
go back to work upon it as a common
day laborer than to commercialize the
fame which was only incidental to ar
act of Providence" ~ he says.
When York bought the farm pros
poets were bright. Corn was selling at
war prices and he was able to make
his first mortgage payment. When this
year prices went to pieces the way
hero did not complain. He went ahead
and by hard work tried to raise enough
at the new low prices to meet his pay
ments.
There is no encouragement, however
IN the heart of the man who braved
the German guns. He is sustained by
that same faith which carried him
through the crisis in the Argonne.
II was only pawn that day over
there and any credit that was due
should go to the Lord, for me to attempt
to take any credit personally would be
to do great wrong, and He will see
me through now as we'll as He did
then"
York's farm was partly paid for by
a popular subscription of S11,235.
