What do jou most wish to know? What places of the present or the past seem most interesting? Which per sonalities seem most inspiring or dramatic? The Jackson county library is suggesting a new use of the li brary's book collection during the winter montns, especially for residents of the county who may not have easy access to the central branch at Medford. Home libraries of la to 25 books will be loaned for periods of two months for the use of indi viduals and home groups, with out the former necessity of ad ministering such book collec tions for the whole community. There will be no restrictions ex cept, as always, for safe return of the books to the library and compensation for real loss and damage. Selection of the books for the home collections will be adapted as much as possible to the pref erences and tile purposes of the persons who are to use them.

Washington, Oct. 30 CAP) G r o v e r Cleveland Bergdoll, serving a sentence in a military prison, soon will get back $300, 000 of an estate which the gov ernment guarded 20 years for him. Attorney General Murphy has ordered the convicted draft evader of World war days be given more than half the $535, 540 worth of property seized when he fled to Germany in 1920. To get the money, Bergdoll had to consent to the govern ment's keeping, temporarily at least, 20 per cent of his prop erty. This might be used to satisfy awards to Americans damaged by German activity during the war. T DROWN IN RIVER Portland, Oct. 30. OP) The Columbia river between Camas, Wash., and Bridal Veil Falls.
