WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
ISSUED BY THE
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
NEW BOOKS ARE
ORDERED BY THE
NENANA LIBRARY
Mr. Joseph today mailed an order
to Lowman & Hanford, Seattle, for
175 new books for the public library.
During the recent collections for
new cards, there was turned in by
Mrs. Ellenson $40, and by Miss Slip
pern $17. The amount of $57 was
remitte'd to Lowman & Hanford,
with an order for approximately 175
new books, the letter to that firm
being published below.
New cards will be issued and
mailed to those who subscribed, with
in the next few weeks, before the
expiration of their old cards, none
of which is dated earlier than Sep
tember 30, 1918.
It was found best to not attempt
to raise more funds at the present
time, due to the fact that so many
were leaving for the Outside. By
the time of the arrival of the books
the navigation season will be nearly
ended, and the population that will
remain for the winter will be a more
definite quantity.
It is believed that there will be
little difficulty in taking up the
sight draft for the balance of the
order at that time, under more set
tled conditions than those existing
at present.
The library management wishes
to thank the Nenana public for their
promp response to the recent publi
cation of books overdue, which have
been returned in considerable num
bers. Incidently, the News comes in
for a share of their thanks for pub
lishing the statement, which cost
considerably more work than setting
up an ordinary newspaper article
covering the same space.
Mr. Gagnon has been instructed
to assess a fine against those who
fail to return books within the two
weeks limit hereafter, which amounts
j to twenty-five cents per week or
, fraction thereof; an exception to
1 this will be made in favor of those
who reside out of town, as it is
' impossible for them to get the books
returned promptly in all cases. But
; those who live in town should re
turn their own, and any stray books
they find, within the required limit.
The letter to Lowman & Hanford
follows:
“Lowman & Hanford, Seattle, Wash.
“Dear SirsEnclosed find P. O.
M. O. for $50.00 Please ship to the
undersigned with sight draft for the
balance due, the following order of
books:
“There is attached a list of 77
books taken from your late month
ly bulletins. But as I only received
a few of these I am unable to com
plete as large a list as we desire.
However, I believe you can com
plete this to our satisfaction.
“Our last order was filled by you
early in the summer of 1917.
“So if you will add to the 77 list
ed, 98 other volumes, a total of 175,
to be taken from fiction publica
tions, none of which were published
prior to June 1917, no doubt we
will have just about what we desire
In doing this, make a total of
about twenty books on the subjects
of the war, the list I have enclosed
containing 13 of these. All the
others fiction published within the
year; and the war books must not
be prior to June 1917, as we al
ready have quite a selection of the
publications of the previous year.
Yours very truly,
“PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD."

Commission Sent to England
Secure Exchange Agreement
With the Allies

T
a
LONDON.—Iceland is feeling the
pinch of a shortage of supplies and
has sent a commission here to make
gn agreement with the Entente na
tions for an exchange of commodi
ties. They ask for a renewal of the
commercial arrangement between
Iceland and Great Britain which had
been in effect since 1916.
In connection with the negotia
tion, representatives of France, Italy
| and the United States have also
j been appointed to attend the con
, ferences.
1 The island produces only fish,
mutton, wool and sheepskins. Such
; commodities as cereals and other
'foodstuffs, as well as all manufac
! tured goods have to be imported,
j The main object of the agreement
j is .therefore, to provide reasonable '
! rations for the Icelanedrs in ex- I
: change for which, as well as for
: fishing facilities in allied ports, Ice
j land undertakes to sell to the Allies
her products for a certain fixed
; and agreed price.
The agreement, therefore, is pure
i ly a matter of exchange of Allied
and Icelandic products, and has no
I political significance whatever.
! A recent attempt of the German
press to stir up trouble in Den
mark by suggesting that Great Brit
ain is spending money on the island
(with the object of separating Ice
land from Denmark, to which she
, politically belongs, although she en
ijoys home rule, is declared to be
without foundation in fact.
