We Jjelleve that nearly every family fam-ily has a few books In tho private library li-brary that are only filling spaco and gathering duct and perhaps those tnino books would be a sourca of enjoyment en-joyment and a means of education to tho fellows of the troop. Howevor, ono should bo careful In his selection of books for tho use of tho troop and not send one that would perhaps not bo read by tho boya living under conditions con-ditions such as we havo hero. We want something that will bo Interesting Interest-ing and Instructive even If wo have only fifteen minutes a day that can be tie voted to reading. Of course wo reallzo that tho needed variety will naturally bo contributed and wo assure you that the gift shall luJccd he- appreciated. Thanking you again for pa3t favors and in advance for tho ono wo now ask, we ore, Very truly yours, A. E. MERRILL, NORMAN D. SALISBURY, I. L. McALISTEU, RAY II .
