Approximately 40,000 books have reached the war service libraries over there as a re- sult of the book drive conducted last March by the Connecticut public li- brary committee and approved by the Connecticut state council of defense. A shipment of 3,600 books has been made to New London, where distribu- tion was made of a unit of 50 books for each submarine chaser and an al- lotment to the naval hospital and the troops at Fort Wright and Fort Michie. It is hopel that people will be inter- ested enough in the need of books for the war libraries so that a steady con- tribution of bobks will be received without the necessity of another book drive. . There are now ahout 30 books on hand at Slater library donated for this purpose. These with others that are brought in will be sent to New London for distribution. Preliminary Final Figures Lumber Production. A total computed lumber cut for the United States in 1917 of 35,831,000 feet is announced by the Forest Ser- Vice. This figure is‘based on reports received up to May 15 from 16,408 sawmills out of the 24,815 believed to have operated last year. It is estimat- ed that the actual cut in 1917, on the basis of compiled figures was approxi- mately 10 per cent less than the pro- duction in 1916. The falling off {n lumber production during the past year Is attributed principally to largely decreased pri- vate building operations, the scarcity of labor in connection with small ops erations, transportation difficulties, curtailment of demand on the .part of wood-using industries, and a more of less general dislocation of lumber dis- tribution through ordinary channels -of trade. A considerable portion of the total quantity produced was utilized in meeting the exceptional demands for Government construction and other ‘war emergency projects, including ship thaterial. The State of Washington was again the largest producer, with a lumber cut of 4,570.000,000 feet; Louisiana was second with 4,210,000.000 feet, and Oregon third with 2,585,000,000 feet, crowding into the fourth position Mis- sissigpi with a cut of 2,425,000,000 feet, Southern vellow pihe, with a_total of 13,539,464,000 feet, forms 37.7 per cent of the total cut. Douglas fir, its nearest competitor, is credited with 5,585,000.000 feet. White eoak and white pine are each credited with 2, 000,000 feet. The number of mills in operation re- porting in 1917 was smaller than for the two preceding years. A _comparison of the computed ecut for 1017 with the total cut of the prevs ious year in the larger producing reg- ions shows a decrease of about 10 per cent in the southern yellow pine group of states. a decrease of 23 per cent in the North Carolina pine group, and a decrease of 11 per cent in the Lake States. On the other hand there was on 1917 an increase in productlon of 3 per cent in Oregon and Washington.

Webb, director of the draft for the state of Rhode |s- land, has received orders relative to those who are given temporary defer- red qualification, on the ground of ag- ricultural occupation” The order states that when a man has been given a deferred elass because he is reeded to work on the farm, and he later enters the work of the emergen- cy shipping feet, he shall be immed:- ately placed in “lass 1. This is one of the many orders which bave for their purpose the stoppage of leaks in available man power due to change of emplcyment from the one urider which the deferred class was given to some other. There has been to the army of men who their previous employménts [ 1d, and the order will do in the future what the reclassification has done for thé past year’s work in the spgcified cases. It is now divulged that Michaei Morrow, the French-Canadian, who was sentenced to three years in the Rhode Island state workhouse for non- support of his wife and three children, iy classed as a deserter and may be inducted into the army. He failed to return a corrected questionnaire to the exemption board and left his residence without giving notice of his address. He had filed no claim for exemption within the period allowed after regis- tration.
