"Books Wanted for the Soldiers
Have You a Book to Spare?"
The Y. M. C. A. is undertaking on
a large-scale the collection of books
for the soldiers. "Thousands of young
men are assembled in the military
camps of the state. Books are needed.
You are invited to contribute what
ever books you can spare. These
books must be readable. There will
be little use for old, uninteresting
books. Our men are citizen-soldiers,
with the same varying tastes of men
in civil life. Almost any current
book of general interest will be likely
to find readers.
"Good novels, stories of adventure
will be in demand, also books of his
tory, biography, travel, essays,
science, military history, and es
pecially books about the present war;
in short, almost any book that ap
peals to the average reader."
"What can we do in La Grande?
Will you give one or more books for
this purpose? Tho Portland public
library will bo the clearing-house for
these books; they will not become the
property of the library, but will be
the gifts of our citizens to the sol
diers. Mark your packages "Books
for soldiers," and lenve at the La
Grande library. Fourth and Pennsyl
vania, and do this at once."
