These trainn are sent out by the Liberty loan committee of the seventh federal reserve district to awaken interest in the Victory Liberty loan and help put it across in the locality. They were found to be a great aid in the fourth Liberty loan campaign, and it is expected they. will prove an even greater help in the Victory loan drive. Kach exhibit will include a captured German airplane one of the high-speed Fokkers that the Germans claimed and believed for

Another remarkable relic is a captured German, anti-aircraft pun, mounted on an automobile, just as it was captured from the foe by our intrepid Yankee lighters and still pointing skyward in mock defiance of the imaginary American bombing planes that., as a real It y, silenced it forever. Many War Implements. Then in profusion there are trench mortars, howitzers, grenade throwers' and grenades, torpedoes, heim ts, pas masks, breastplates, rifles, bayonets. floating mines, depth bombs, ymck carriers, haversacks, machine fcuns. mess kits, liquid, aerial, motor and gas-bombs, a great variety of shells, bullet dins, daggers, revolvers, ammunition wagons, and so forth, in all a bewildering variety of war material and impedimenta. The German trophies form only a comparatively small part of the interesting burden of this wonder train. In particular there are the very machine mirs that our boys used alonsr the western front with uch telling effect at Chateau Thierry, in rb A roomie l ret, in Helleau's Woods. alon? the St. Mlhiel salient, in the Toul sector, at So!sons. and on a dozen other battle field where our valiant Yankee

"As I say, literature of the popular kind today is the old stuff camouflaged to make it apepar up to late. There are the same old plots with modern settings. For instance, the dttertlve hero today uses an airplane instead of riding on a train or a horse, "Dut aside from the detective stories, that are as I say. camouflaged, '.Jteraturo is about the same as it was .11 years ago, with the exception that i

there is les.i demand for the old writis, such as Charles Dickens and Charles Reade. Persons don't seem to care for them as much any more. Of course there are some authors whom the world will always read, hut there are few of them compared to the number of persona included in the reading public. Modern Writers I'phcmera!. "And modern writers they don't last leng. They are read one season, and then if we have any of their editions left over, they will remain in our hands. They don't seem to be very lasting . Of course, love novels will always be in demand. Hertha M. Clay is stilll read as is "The Duchess," but even they are not read as much as they used to be. "The magazines have had m'tch to do with the falling off in the demand for books. Up. to recently magazines could be bought very cheaply, and persons seemed to prefer them to stories of the longer kind. "Hut there are some author and writers of our own state who will live with the people always. One of them is James Whitcomb Hilej' and another is Gen. Lew Wallace. There is as much demand for their works today as there ever was." Here Mr. Miller exhibited an original copy of the first edition of Riley's poems. "I knew Jim Riley about as well as anyone ever knew him. I knew him when be was paintini? sin and writing verse," he continued. "Jim was one of the most loveable fellows I ever knew. Money could not buy this little volume." he declared, lovingly fingering the little book containing a number of the oliosier poet's gems. "Then technical books have come into demand of late years. There are more of these today than there ever were, and there ae many technical

magazines as well, and there is a great demand lor them, too. "Yes, there have been a number of changes in the tastes of the reading public, but away down at the bottom of these changes is a whole lot of this thing they call camouflage." "
