LET EVERYONE READ

The value of the school of ex- perience" is generally acknowledged, but experience" is gained by knock ing about and meeting lot of people under all sorts of conditions. Not everyone can do that. The value of education through reading is almost as generally acknowledged and many men who have made their marks in the world owe practically all their education to their reading.
 There is a plan to discuss before the annual meeting of the American Library Association to be held in Hot Springs, Ark, the latter part Of next month, some arrangement whereby
 library service may be extended to many millions of persons who are now without it, Club women, school superintendents, chambers Of com merce, representatives of civic clubs are to be asked to talk the matter over. That the arrangement would be popular is seen by the fact that for mer service men, remembering the camp libraries maintained by the as- sociation during the war have re- ported their regret that similar serv- ice is not obtainable in their home communities.
 Reading will bring facts taken from "the school Of experience" and facts that would be learned at institutions of higher education. A well read" community is an intelligent community Reading is not only an inspiration to thought but to action, the thought and the action being more wisely di- rected because of reading. The move- ment to bring library facilities to more people is movement which is in full accord with the spirit of the day which recognizes the growing need of education to bring success.

EMPTY CRAVE RESULTS IN
 TEXAN GOING TO PRISON
Cocllrain's "Death" Fooled The Au- tlhorities IS Months and Insur-
 ance Companies as Well.

Fort Worth, Texas. March 16. - Byrd c. Cochrain, once a wealthy rancher and now said to be penniless, was on his way to the Texas penl- tentiary today to serve two years sentence for swinding in connection with the Aspermont empty grave case.
 Cochrains trick was discovered a year and a half after it was supposed he was in his grave. He still main- tains his innocence of any attempt to swindle the life insurance companies, insisting this was an afterthought or his accomplices
 He said that the object of his trick was to avoid being taken back to New Mexico to face a trumped-up murder charge. He said he feared he would be killed by his enemies if he went to New Mexico, and if he did not go his friends would forfeit $1o,ooo bail.
 Although the mechanics of the "hurial' were never fully explained, at the time of the trial, q year ago, it was charged that Cochran was drug gcd before he was ''laid out and a weight was substituted for the body Just before the burial. At the request of the wife the coffin was not opened at the grave, and the hoax was not discovered until the death of his wife.
