GIVE BOOKS in taese days or strenuous war preparations, the average cltisen baa many and varied appeals made upon him. Moat of them arc -worthy, Most of them are opportunities of whloh the a re rage American 'gladly avails himself to the extent that he feels able. . One of the latest appeals seems to as to offer a splendid opportun ity to every citizen, young or old, rich or poor. , It la good because It Is so easy to meet; good because It gives so much of real happiness to the 'men in the' army and navy. , The1 'secretary of war has asked tba good people of the country to supply the training camps and garri sons and even, to soma' extent, the man at the front, with good reading matter. He has appointed a war li brary committee and, pursuant to his request, the governors of the the several states have appointed similar local committees. Governor Wlthy eombe has appointed as chairman of the Oregon ' committee Wm. U Brewster, formerly city commission er ot Portland. It is planned to erect at each can tonment a library building equipped and managed by trained librarians. From this central building the sev eral dlvispn buildings, operated by Yonng Mens' Christian Association, Knights ot Columbus, .Toung Mens' Hebrew Association and other Ilka organisations, will be supplied. All post,' training camp' and place where men of the army and navy are as sembled will be taken care of. It 'is estimated that 150,900 books are needed to start work In the 32 cantonments. This Initial collection irlir. be supplemented as fast as the books ran be assembled.' Books are needed and some funds must be available to permit duplications and replacements necessary to keep a library really efficient. The local librarian In each com munity Is made a receiving and for warding agent for this splendid work. Josephine county hss not yet fatt ed to do her full share In every effort Inaugurated since the out-break of the war. Let us see that aha does her share in lbs laudable undertak ing as she has in the psst. Eaoh person can give at least one book, perhaps more. Let them come in. DIGNITY OF LAW IN LIQUOR CASE UPHELD The sheriff's office, - and that of the county clerk have occason to shoot little pleasantries In the direc tion of eaoh other semi-occaaionally. The clerk's force had a good deal to say about the order upon Sheriff Lewis to 'destroy "publicly and at a certain hour" a five gallon keg of whiskey." The sheriff "came back" In the official return which under the law he Is required to file with the clerk. The return reads: k State of Oregon , ) Josephine County) " Whereas, by an order Issued out of the county court of the state of Oregon, for the county of Josephine, duly made and entered on the 5th day of September. A. D. 1917, I. Geo. W. Lewis, duly elected, quali fied and acting sheriff of Josephine county, state of Oregon, was com manded by d G. Gillette, the Judge of the said court to publicly des troy that certain whiskey contained in a keg more particularly designat ed In the original order hereto at tached and made a part hereof, on the 8th day of September, A. D. 1917, at 1 o'clock p. ni. of said day. Now, therefore, be It remembered that, after assuring myself, the said sheriff, that naught but the absolute and actual destruction of the said whiskey would appease the said court, I attended In by own proper person at the time and place desig nated by the said court for the pub lic destruction of the said whiskey, and exposed the same, to the full view ot. those there assembled.' 1 the sai'J sheriff, then demanded In a loud vi'lce' of 'one or all to' show cause why the said order ot the said court suould not be executed by me literally and in Its entirety, and. re ceving no suggestion which to me did not appear either collusive or. co lourable, I at once, and with great vigor bored two holes In the said keg containing the whiskey as aforesaid. The first of said holes I bored In the top of the said keg and the second of said holes I bored also in the top of the said keg. But the second of said holes, I the said sheriff, In tended using not aa an outlet for the said whiskey but to accelerate It! flow through the ftrst of said boles With due solemnity snd with a full knowledge or the significance of my action, I gently placed the aforesaid keg upon Its side, and at DIAMOND TIRES MOKE MILKS FOR LEM .

As the fumes from Old John Barleycorn were wafted upon the afternoon breexe. the effect was Im mediate and astonishing. Old war horses scented the battle from afar and appeared aa If by magic Tired workmen lifted their weary heads and sniffed the tainted air hungrily. Vague, almost forgotten memories began crowding, and a strange sweet desire stirred each hairy breast. One by one as they slowly resumed their dally tasks, an expression of wistful sadness crept unheeded into) each honest face. Others there were in that strange throng, never having known John Barleycorn, viewed the cereuiony with indfference or un concern. But many were gathered there who had, in the past, witnessed those wrecked homes and ruined lives, those sorrowing wives and pa tient mothers, those besotted fathers and those starring babes, those bit ter, burning' wrongs, imposed upon a trusting world In the name of fa by this old arch sinner, and these wept not. Their faces bore mute testimony to the belated realUaton of a fond dream, evidenced by the modern humane Innovation of po ; Ing booze in gutters Instead of down men's throats. Those who viewed the remains and assisted In performing the Isst sad rites for tha departed were: A. B. Voorhles, Dr. Bywater, 'Mrs. A. B. Cornell, Joseph Hokenyos, Vina Opdycke, D. O.
