a transport on which to return to the

enlisted for a year, Mrs. Case believes

feeling as to the prospects for the fu

This industry Is one that has been
Identified with the history and busi
ness interests of Ashland for many
years. It has disbursed many thous
ands of dollars In pay rolls, etc., the
most of which comes from the out
side. The work done on Government
contracts for a Seattle firm has been
highly commended. The plant Is a
very Interesting place to visit and it
Is hoped that arrangements can be
made whereby those wn6 desire to
Ouent opportunities to do so.

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.
