The appeal from Washington t.'utes that new novels and good western stories, whether new or old, are most needed. Books by Zane Grey, Rex Beach, Jack London, Ralph Connor, Owen Wlster and O. Ivenry are very popular. The pub lic library announces that It will re ceive and forward all suitable books that are turned in. It urges the friends of the soldiers and sallon, many of whom have already re sponded most generously, to give more books. The communication received by the library from the Washington headquarters states that over 600. 000 books have been sent overseas. The supply Is nearly exhausted, and several hundred thousand more will be needed coon by the six dispatch offices, which are now shipping books lo France. The books are packed at these dispatch offices in strong cases, so built that they serve as a bookcase. They go on the deck3 of trans ports, in cargo vessels and In naval Vessels. Those that go on the decks ct transports are open so that tho men may have reading matter for use on the voyage. All these books are gathered together again, how ever, replaced in the cases and de livered to the proper officials In France. In Franco, the books are distribut ed by an experienced librarian, rep resenting the American Library arsoclation. Most of them go to Y. M. C. A., Rod Cross and Salvation rrmy huts, hospitals and canteens. Others go directly to chaplains and officers.

H.j Seitz, supervisor of the Cascade for-; est, who has returned to Eugene. The triangular system employed; in connection of range finding In ar- tiilcry operations Is used In locating forest fires, the only difference be- In? that a longer base is used In the! ftrests. Readings made by the girl jj lookouts have proven remarkably' accurate. j Classified Advertisements TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY.
