Books Wanted
B for Soldiers

The injured and convalescent sol
diers at Asbury Hospital, Minneapolis
are very short of reading matter and
the local Woman's Auxiliary and The
Red Cross are uniting in an effort to
obtain some suitable and interesting
books for these boys. A committee
representing each organization has
been appointed, the joint committee be-
ing Mrs. G. P. Smith, Mrs. G.. L. Grapp
Mrs. C. A. Luscher, Mrs. Maude Win
ter, Mrs. j. B. Philbrick and Mrs. B.
M. Wilson. Good stories of adven-
ture or romance are wanted, and a
complete set Of magazines containing
one or more interesting serials will al
SO be very acceptable. Remember
these boys are sick and in many cases
lonesome and they want to be enter
tanned rather than instructed. Any
book that would be selected for an in
valid friend may safely be included in
the shipment. If each person in Red
wood Falls will go through his book
collection, selecting one or more books
of this type, sufficient material will be
collected to help these boys pass many
weary hours. If convenient these
books may be left at the Red Cross
rooms or collection will be made of
them within a short time. The ship
ment is to be made by May 1.
