Library Wants More Books (or Soldiers The Ashland public library has is sued another call for soldiers' books. The fact that the war has closed has. not lessened the demand for reading matter among the boys In camps. On the contrary the need is greater than formerly, as there are at present so many sick and wounded coming to the hospitals and convalescent homed In the United States, that require reading matter much more than the boys, who were in active training In the camps. A goodly number of books have been donated by Ashland peo ple for this purpose but the call comes for more, and It is not accord ing to Ashland's generotilty to fail la this response. Among the more Important war ac tivities the Library War Service of the American Library Association occupied an Important place during the past year and a half. In that period the association has built and put Into operation 41 library build ings. Of these, 36 were built out of a fund supplied by the Carnegie Cor poration, one was donated by a friend who prefers to remain anonymous, and three were constructed by tho Navy Department. Forty-three large camp libraries have been established, and books have been supplied to 14 J hospitals and Red Cross houses; 315 small library camps and posts, an I 406 naval and marine stations have been equipped with book collections; 1,547 library branches and stations have been placed In Y. M. C. A. and Knights of ColumbuB barracks a ill mess halls; 243 librarians have been loaned to the war service. The librarians of the city public library have done a splendid work In gathering and shipping out all' the books collected for this purpose ami are ready and willing to carry on further If each citizen of Ashland will do his part in donating a book or two to help cheer and entertain the soldiers thru the todlum of conval escing, after they have returned sick or wounded from the battle fields of France, SOLDIERS IN HOSPITALS " NEED CURRENT LITERATURE Wounded men In hospitals and sol diers In cantonmonts awaiting de mobilization need ' magazines . um- than ever, according to reports, re ceived by the American Library As sociation from Its' camp and hospital' librarians. From' the same Bource It' Is reported that tho supply of maga zines has fallen off materially sincu the signing of the nrmlstlco. Whenever you put a one cent stamp on a magazine and drop It into a mall box. it quickly gots Into tha hands of these men, who need that sort of reading matter very much. Every sort of periodical Is In demand, bo long as they are recent Issues. Humorous, fiction, business, literary every sort of weekly and monthly publication Is eagorly read. Tradu and technical periodicals are In de mand. It Is such a very little thing for anyone to do, Just to put a one-cent stamp on the notice which Is printed on the cover of evory periodical pult llshed In America and drop It In th postoffice. The only apparent reason why the supply of theso magazine has fallen off seems to be the general Impression that all of the men In uniform are to be Immediately sent back home. But we shall have a million and more men In camps for many months to come and tens ot thousands In the hospitals and. as the camp librarians point out, they" have more time for reading and read ing Is more necossary to their happi ness and well-being than It was whit all were keyed up to the heights of enthusiasm. BURTON WINNE SOON TO BE MUSTERED OUT OF SERVICE Burton Wlnne, tho young soldier lad who had len so 111 after landing In Europe with the 65th regiment nearly a year ago, has reached Camp Lewis, and expects to be discharged from the sorvlce at that point In about two weeks.

He was returned to N'ow York several W'eeks ago and later sent on to Camp Lewis. Burton states In letters to his parents tluit he Is quite well BRnln. . .
