On Wednesday there will be a meet- ing .of the Connecticut Library asso- ciation at the house of representative: capitol; 'Hartford, to discuss the mil- lion ddllar campaign to be made by the American Library association dur- ing the week of Sept! 24-29. The slogan of the campaign is: A Million Doflars for a Million Books for a Milllon Men. It is the plan of the association to provide libravies for the soldiers, sail- ors.and airmen in the service of the United States at home and abroad. At each of the 32 cantonments and Na- tional Guard camps in _this country there will be erected a library build- ing, 40x120 feet one story high, with accommodations eight to ten thousand books, newspapers and magazines, and living quarters for the library staff. ‘These. buildings will house the central or main library for each cemp. There will also be as many as 250 deposit stations or trav- eling libaries in some of these camps. To do this work the soclal and - welface agencies maintalned by the Y. M. C. A, the Knights of Co- Jumbus and other similar organiza- tions, the ‘company barracks, the of- ficers’ clubs, etc, will be utilized as branches and distributing stations. At the meeting in Hartford _the speakers ~will be Charles D. Hine, state Nirector of the C. L. A. cam- paign; J. Randolph Coolige, Jr., of the National Library War council; Charles F. D. Benlden, New England director, A. A. Protzman, New Eng- land field director, and others. ‘The importance of this work makes the campaign appeal to all loyal Americans. Every dollar given means a book in the hands of a soldier or sailor. At once 350,000 fresh, clean. books must be purchased add these and the other reading matter must be properly kept up and maintained and transported. Already 50 cases of books have been sent to Hurope - for distribution in the camps and trenches e e P 4. S. Merical corps and is now await- ing orders calling him to active ser- vice. In behalf of the troop he was presented with a stylographic pen by Scout Willlam Storms. Mr. . Locke will leave Norwich today for * New London where he will remain until or- dered into service. ‘Mr. Locke has been associated with scout work for six vears, five years in Camden, N. J., where he was born in 1898, and not quite a year in Nor- wich. ' In Camden he was connected with Troops 18 and 21 being scout- master of the latter for some time. He became connected with Troop 3 last December and under bhis charge the affairs of the troop have been very successful. Two scouts, Jonathan L. Johnson and Edwin Sevin have be- come first class scouts. Four other members of the troop have become second class scouts and six new mem- bers have been added. Mr. Locke has been emploved in the glass blowing department of the Amer- ican Thermos Bottle company and en- listed in the Medical corps in New London last Saturday. Scoutmaster J. R. Rinehart had general charge the reception. MOTORBOAT OWNERS MUST REGISTER ANNUALLY State Law Provides Penalty Ranging From $10 to $100. ‘The state legisalture in April of this year enacted an amendment to Chap- ter 253 of the Public Acts which in ef- fect requires every motor boat owner to register with town clerk annually, a statement descriptive of the boat and pay to the town clerk a fee of 50 cents. This act is quite important to motor |poat owners ,as a penalty for viola- tion may be 'as high as $100 and is not less than $10. s: “Chapter 253 e amendment reads: |’ of the public acts s amended to read as follows: ‘Boat, shall on or AT CAMP DEVENS WePe Sent Monday to These Unable to Be Present at Cglebration.

Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Osgood Co. and lall good druggists, gives quicker and ‘more lasting relief than other rmedies costing many times as much. Rheuma passes the deadly poisonous secretions into the bowels and kidneys from which they are quickly thrown off in_a natural, healthy way. Read what a reputable physician says about Rheuma: “I have made most careful investigation of the for mula employed in the manufacture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as a remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism. 1 find Rheuma far in advance [of the methods generally employed in the treatment of rheumatism, and al- together different in composition from the remedies usually prescribed.”—Dr. TLyons.
