Among the many schemes which
have bee i projected in the past
few years by politicians and others
in real or pretended efforts to aid
the farmers ol the country, very
few have been of any practical
benefit. In fact some of them have
bien productive of more harm than
good. But there ie one species ol
government aid, at least, which
hie on the whole been really help­
ful. It ie the agricultural extension
service, whereby farm and home
demonstration ageDts, trained for
their i n p o rtin t duties, have gone
among the farmers, their wives
an 1 daughters, and taught them
hew to help themselves

ON READING BOOKS
By Thomas A R K LE C LA R K . Dean o f Men, University Illinois
I T WAS under a curtoon that I saw
• the query.
“ Hows that?" the owner of the 11
brary said to Ids friend In a boastful
and self satisfied tone, as he showed
Idin Ids collection of books. “ Every
one of them a priceless first edition.'
“ What’s tills one alone over here?'
(lie friend Inquired as his eye catches
II lonesome thin volume standing by
itself upon an otherwise empty shelf.
“ Oli t” the owner explains, “ That's
the one I’ve reud."
It Is one tiling to have hooks; tt Is
quite another tiling to have read them
A good many people who have shelves
full of hooks In (heir libraries mlglil
as well have only the false covers
without the contents, such as we see
III the stage setting of ttieaters or In
furniture stores where they sell book
cusps .
My friend Chesley Is a collector ot
books—rare books, beautiful books
unusual books, books which ure dltll
cult to oblaln, and yet lie could hard
ly be called a regular reader of books
In fact he reuds only moderately. It
you u would take tils precious books
from the shelves to g iie them a more
careful examluaiion, you would be
likely to see how clean and white the
pages ure, us If they had never had
close contact with working hands
You would no doubt discover, as I
did, that the pages of many of them
had never been cut, and so the book
find much pleasure tn the reading ol
books, und he soys so quite naively
His pleasure Is In having something
unusual, eonietlilng that Ids friends
cannot ufford, cannot get tlieir hands
on. tits Is ouly the pleasure of a co!
lector.
Lincoln, for Instance, had read few
books comparatively, for books were
not common when und where he was
u boy, but be had read ttiese few
carefully, thoroughly, uno had ah
sorbed the contents and been liiflu
eneed by the style. The books which
he had about him meant much to bim
—each one of them.
Public and educational libraries
must contain many books which ure
seldom, If ever read, and many more
which are only skimmed through foi
etruy fucts, Isolated information, 01
for tbe point of view of a recognized
uutliority. Scholars engaged In re
search might go quickly through u
hundred books in order to get out-
fact, and these books may not be
used again for a decade.
Not so with the libraries which you
mid 1 have In our tiouses. Our books
we should be fam iliar w ith ; they
should be like old friends. As we
stand In front of the shelves and took
them over, each should recall old
memories, old pleasures, forgotten ex
pertences. The books that we have
we should have read, they should
have been a part of our lives, they
should have had their part lu the de
velopment of our characters.
How many of the hooks that you
own have you read?

/HEN you buy a car for cash, you pay
the factory price plus freight, war tax and
delivery charges. W hen you buy on time,
you pay an additional charge which in­
cludes fire and theft in su ran ce. T his
additional amount is known as a "finance
charge.”
The finance charges on General Motors cars are
low because the General Motors Acceptance Cor­
poration was organized to assure sound credit
practice and low rates to those of its customers who
prefer to purchase on time. The Acceptance
Corporation operates the GMAC Plan of payment.
The Plan is simple, fair and economical. Its large
volume of business reduces costs. It is conducted
to give you satisfaction and to keep your goodwill.
W hen yo u buy a General M otors car on the
GMAC Plan, you pay the cash delivered price
—p lu s only the low G M A C financing charge
— no th in g more!
The plan is available only through General
Motors dealers. Another reason for buying your
next car—whether new or used—from a General
Motors dealer.
Buy your next car on
the GMAC Plan 4
The General Motors cars are Chevrolet, Pontiac,
Oidsmobile, Oakland, Buick, LaSalle and Cadillac.
Together they make up a line of 86 models, ranging
in price-at-the-factory from $495 to $5500. They are
the quality cars of the various car price classes.
Whatever make and model you choose—whether
it be of the highest price, or the lowest—you will get
a beautiful body (the closed bodies are by Fisher),
4-wheel brakes, a powerful engine, and a quality of
design, materials and performance that only General
Motors, by reason of its resources and its policy of
continuous improvement, is in a position to give. *
And the final touch in your satisfaction will come
when you buy it on the GMAC Plan. The trans­
action will be in your interest. The rates will be low.
And the dealer will not lose interest in you after the
down payment is made.
