Reviews New Books
At County Library

A few of the new outstanding novels
of the season have been received at
the Lincoln county library Several
prize books have drawn wide circle
of readers over the country.
In the Pulitzer class the prize novel
is Lamb in His Bosom" by Mrs. Caro-
line Miller 1t is story of pioneer life
in the back country of Georgia in pre-
Civil War days. 1t is told very simply
but has an attraction that lures read
ers on and on to the end of the book.
The drama claiming the Pulitzer
prize is rated the best one so far this
year The scene Of Men in White" is
laid in a large hospital and its author,
Sidney Kingsley, has striven to portray
what medical men have to face and
the demands of the profession.
The Atlantic prize which was award
ed in previous years to "Jalna' and
Picking Picnic" was won this year by
Samuel, Rogers with his novel, Dusk
at the Grove" The Grove is the sum
mer home of family who are very
much attached to ii. 1t is an excellent
book, thoughtfully written with a calm
dllu ulHlulIleu lildlill llidt VIII delight
many readers.
Ann Bridge, author of that popular
book, Picking Picnic, has written
Ginger Griffin" which is another
story of legation life in China. 1t
promises to be widely read
In these days of small apartments
and incomes the question Of What are
we going to do with the old folks?" is
becoming increasingly more important.
In Josephine LaWrence's book, Years
Are So Long she places the problem
before the readers and anyone inter
ested in the present-day problems
should read it. 1t is not sentimental but
is well done.
1t is not very often that long short
story gets anywhere but Good bye,
Mr.. Chips is certainly getting places.
This gentle portrayal of quaint old
man deserves the credit it is getting.
1t is ranked with Edith Wharton's
novelties and is being suggested as re-
quired reading for students Of writing.
1t has charm and tenderness and
humor.

Monaghan Speaks
Continued from page u

diers were entitled to all they were
claiming.
Congressman Monaghan has the rep
utation of being an eloquent speaker
and his greatest eloquence was called
forth when telling of his introduction
of an old age pension bill. He said that
when the sun of life has begun to
sci" old couples who have failed to ac-
quire competence should be provided
with homes of their own and should be
taken care of. He told of having had a
conference with President Roosevelt re-
garding the old age pension measure,
and said that while he had at first been
granted two minutes for the conference
the President became SO interested in
the bill that the conference extended
into half hour In closing, the speaker
said that if returned to congress he
would strive earnestly to accomplish
those things which he considers right
and for the good of the country, re-
marking that he could ill afford to do
otherwise For, you know, have to
live with myself"
Mr.. Monaghan was given liberal ap-
plause throughout his address and men,
ton of President Roosevelt's name was
frequently followed by applause.
Candidates introduced.
At the conclusion Of Mr. Monaghan's
address, Chairman Long introduced

ty offices who were seated on the plat

torney Other candidates were not pres
ent among the group introduced.

in by the fire trucks and cars bearing
banners boosting the various candidates,
all lighted by colored flares. The band
also played number of spirited selec-
tons within the hall while the crowd

THESE "SHIRT"
ORGANIZATIONS!


What'syyour favorite color in the patriotic
shirt liner They've got 'em in al colors,
shapes, models and designs. All guaranteed
to be ''the" shirt-the only one that will save
the nation and chuck those two chickens in
every pot, la Hoover's dream
Just few days ago received long letter
from chap who declares that the BLACK
Shirts" are direct lineal descendants of the
first coonskin cap, twin brother to the first
flintlock musket to appear in the original
Thirteen Colonies positively the only one that
won't rip, ravel, run or sag at the seams.
Maybe.
Another fellow sends me proof of the ex-
istence of "Silver Shirt" outfit. He insists
that his has all other shirts backed off the
board as to the amount of patriotism sewed
in the shoulder braces and down the back.
The backs in all other shirts, he declares, are
the weak spots-they won't stand alone, be-
ing shy on starch. The arms are cut too short,
according to this shirt formula, and the collars
too low. In brief, he says that nothing but a
universally-worn "Silver Shirt" will put that
extra car in every garage - a, la Hoover's
dream.
! pick me up daily paper and read of
hundred thousand shotguns cached in as many
New York homes. read further and discover
that every scatter gun indicates the existence
of SUBSTANTIALLY and proudly spy. In
the closet, along with the big-mouthed, kick
ing artillery hangs shirt. Another shirt or
ganization. Color unknown Reasonable
grounds for believing it needs laundering
badly.
flip page on the book of memory and,
behold! I find the Order of Nightshirts -
the Ku Klux Khan, the might riders" who ter
rorized "niggers,' whipped women and shot
men and faded out of the picture AFTER
their brave leaders had accumulated several
million dollars.
And these Brown Shirts"-Hitler's own!
Can you imagine an American citizen strut
ting his stuff in Hitler SHIRT? He would
choke.
"Shirts, 'eh? Well, stroll me down thru
the Gateway district where the unemployed
army" struggles about. No shirts there -
that are complete. Collars off, cuff minus,
buttons gone, arm-holes torn big enough to
throw coal scuttle through. Inmates won
dering when do we eat?" Foodless, and be-
ing themselves devoured-by vermin. Shirts
Black shirts, silver shirts, khaki shirts, night
shirts. Take your pick. But there's one
missing:
THE WORK SHIRT! III
When that's more universally worn, these
fancy cuts and patterns and colors will fade
out.
We Americans don't need any other sort,
brand, shape design of shirt now or in the
future, except the old reliable Work Shirt"
made by free labor and worn by free men.
Now, l hope you fellows who have been

subordination and general trouble making. This
in that the said George Is alleged to have forged the name

Mr.. Blank, who may be found at Blank Avenue In
this city informed me on Tuesday evening Of this week
that this charge and that restitution Of the

this mans commission of the crime of forgery had been
well circulated in official circles?
You stated in your testimony that Mr.. George had
reported to you lack of cooperation the part Of the

and Is that there be real team work until the
