GENTLEMEN FROM ENG
LAND by Maud and Delos Love-
lace. The story of picturesque, If
not entirely true, episode in the
history Of Minnesota. Shortly after
the Civil War a real estate promo
ter sold large tracts Of virgin land
to Englishmen, promising them
fortunes through the cultivation of
beans. The English expected to be
gentlemen farmers, to establish
English country homes but Ameri-
ca provided too many handicaps
and only a few Of them remained
to identify themselves with the
country. Appealing to Minnesota
readers.
LAURELS ARE CUT DOWN by
Archie Binns. There are two sep
arate themes of this book; the gold
en- age of the Pacific Northwest
and a vindication of the American
expeditionary force in Siberia and
especially Of its commander, Cen
eral Graves. George and Alfred
Tucker, of pioneer stock in Pudget
Sound, fall in love with the same
girl and then enlist in the War.
One never returns and the other
returns to America to find country
and friends changed. A loosely con-
structed story and especially well
told.
