TO RAISE $6,000 FOR LIBRARIES IN SOLDIER CAMPS City Starts Its Share of Mil lion Dollar Fund to be Used For Troops The drive for SIOO,OOO to bo raised throughout th# United States with which to buy books for tho soldiers and sailors started to-day. The Idea originated with President Wilson and has received tho co-operation of the library officials and State ofticlalß throughout the country. To do her share Harrisburg must ralso $6,000 for this fund, which In known as the Library War Service Fund. Miss Alice Eaton, librarian of the Harrisburg Public Library, suggests that in order that the quota net for Harrisburg will be sure of being reached, that all citizens of Harris burg who can afford to do so, sub scribe a dollar for themselves and as many dollars more as they have neighbors who cannot afford to sub scribe. The very first real money re- this morning was from a man who sent in a dollar each for him self, his wife, and one for each of his three children. He Is too modest to give his name. Miss Eaton has charge of the campaign for the central part of Pennsylvania and In each county of her territory has appointed chair men who in turn have appointed subchairmen in the boroughs of their counties to conduct the campaign. The slogan for the campaign Is "A Dollar For a Book For a Soldier." One dollar will buy a good book which will be placed within reach of soldiers and sailors in the ments and training camps in Amer ica as well as on the transport ships and In France. The clubs of Harrisburg have pledged their support and the rep resentatives of the various clubs who are co-operating are: David E. Tracy, Chamber of Commerce; A. E. Buchanan, Rotary Club; Robert M. Reeves, Y. M. C. A.; Frank H. Gre gory, P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.; Leo C. Gainor, Kniglits of Columbus; Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, Red Cross; Mrs. William Hendersor,, Civic Club; Miss Cora Lee Snyder, Regent D. A. R.; Mrs. James Bafr Mersereau, Daugh ters of 1812; Mrs. Harry B. Keffer, Story League; Mrs. John W. Reily, Y. W. C. A.; Miss Matilda Hiester, Sunshine Society; Miss Anne U. Wert, Teachers' Association; Mrs. Maurice E. Finney, Authors Club; Mrs. James M. Fair, Study Club, and Mrs. Louis S. Drumheller, of the Walking Club. The drive will continue for a week and at tho end of that time it is hoped that the fund will be oversubscribed.
