terested.
Many picture shows the boys
with their pets and how they live
on the farm. Juvile book: “Old
Blue” by Sanford Tousey.
To horsemen, Old Blue also
needs no introduction. Old Blue
was a real horse and has a fine
monument erected in his honor

in Wyoming near Cheyenne. His
remarkable explosits are all true
but read like fairy stories, as few
horses were as remarkable as
Old Blue.
Mr. Tousley’s pictures are so
life like that Old Blue is almost
made to live again. As a writer
and artist of cowboy and western
stories for younger boys and
girls, Sanford Tousey has no equ-
al. His western picture books
are now universal favorites.
Teen-age book: “Simon Bolivar,”
by Elizabeth Waugh.
In New York's great Central
Park stands a distinguished statue
—a resolute, fiery-eyed soldier on
a spirited horse:— simon Boliver,
the great liberator of South Am-
erica. How many thousands of
people both young and old, passi
by this figure, without knowing his
exciting story. And how many
others all over our country thrill
to the tale of this courgeous, de-
termined leader who became the
George Washington of South Am-
erica.
In perspective we see Boliver
today as the greatest of all names
in South American history. His
short but tumultuous career reads
not only as an exciting biography
of a courageous soldier, but also a
revealing picture of the story of
democracy.
This book is the result of ex-
tensive study of original source
material. The author in her sym-
pathetic interpretation has given
us a new and vivid picture of
this great America.
This book reports the first
journey by automobile in one sus-
tained tour from the Caribbean
to the Straits of Magellan. In
this amazing half-year automobile
odyssey covering more than 13,-r
000 miles, the author and his com-
panion visited the capital of every
South American republic with the
exception of Paraguay.
The vibration of two thousand
miles pounding over the bare
desert of Peru and northern Chilli
crystallized the metal on the car
with the peculiar phenomena re-
sulting from fatigued metal.
Toward the southern tip of the
continent the roadless wastes of
Patagonia must be navigated more
like a ship at sea. Almost every
mile is interesting, the astonishing
mountain scenery, the fertile val-
ley’s strange people, curious veg-
etation and animal life— jungle,
desert, pampas, and paramo.
The book is profusely illustrat-
ed with over eighty magnificent
photographs taken on the trip by
Mr. Lanks and selected carefully
from more than 8,000 exposures.
Gifts were received this week
from the following: Mrs. Jim
Harrison, and Hutchison County
Library.

class of the Pleasent Plains com-
munity was completed Friday
Nov. 27, with 10 members com-
pdeting the course. The meeting
was moved from the school house

occupied bed, to give many of
the simple,, treatments that the
mother is responsible for in the
care of the sick in her home and
in helping the neighbors in time
of sickness. The women gained
much from the instruction and
also from the association with
other members of the class.
The examination was given
Friday. Following the written ex-
amination, each member of the
> class was given some demonstra-
tion to do. Following the ex-
amination refreshments were
served by Mrs. Burum. Those

The 9 Billion Dollar Victory Loan
Drive Is On!
This week the United States Government
begins the task of borrowing nine billion
dollars from accumulated savings and idle
funds in the next several weeks as an essen-
;■;/ f.' , .
tial part of winning the war more quickly
and more completely.
During these critical weeks you probably
will be visited by a representative of one of
the securities firms or banks which are con-
tributing their time and effort — without
compensation of any kind—to the Victory
Fund Committee. He will explain to you,
for instance, the benefits that you can obtain
from the new Victory 2lA's—available for
the first time. Welcome him as a war
worker when he calls. If you miss him, ask
your banker or securities dealer for full
particulars. There is no Uniit to the amount
that you can purchase.
Today many American families are torn
apart. Millions have left their homes or their
jobs; thousands have given their lives and
many more are prepared to do so.
But the government, your government,
is not asking you to give anything to this
Nine Billion Dollar Drive. It is asking you
to lend it all of the money you can possibly
invest in what is the safest investment in
the world—at a good rate of interest.
When the Victory Fund representative
calls, please remember this: it is in your
own interest, as well as that of your country,
to listen to him—and to invest.
