The Oregon State Library in Salem has a reading list or bibliography upon the above named subject, which will be sent to any Oregon student on request. Books pertaining to the subject are obtainable in most Oregon public libraries. Oregon has a system of local libraries, supplemented in many cases by county li brary systems, and in all cases by the Oregon State Library. Students desiring such books should apply first to the local library, which, if not having the books, should secure them from the county and state libraries. If the local library cannot give this service, which is usual, or if there is no local library, the student should write directly to the Oregon State Library in Salem, which makes loans of books free of charge, except postage, to all citizens of Oregon. In writing to the Oregon State Library students should state the in formation desired, and not merely confine requests to some particular book or books sought, thereby enabling the State Library to substitute other material in case any book requested is not available.

REDMEN BOW TO COLLEGIANS Last Saturday the Chemawa football team met the Linfield college freshman on the school field. The Indians were able to hold the heavier college eleven during the early part of the game and several times had their opponents in the shadows of their goal but couldn’t summon the necessary drive to score. This was the first home game for our pigskin advocates and the second of the season. The squad has im proved since their initial fray with Pacific college two weeks ago. The loss of the game may be laid to the fumbling of receivers on punts and to the fact that our boys were greatly outweighed but as far as inate ability was concerned there was no visible difference' The next game is with Woodburn high school at Woodburn next Saturday.
