Riggs Winter at Cloverfield Farm By Helen Fuller Orton The kind of thing you used to love on the farm, made to live again for your children. Stokes $1.00 Just Paragrapias It is said that Louis Bromfield is looking for an inexpensive farm in | France. Which looks as if this shin- jing light on America's literary hori- son intends to desert her shores per- | manently. It seems as if this would Ibe a sad thing not only for America but for Mr. Bromfield whose writings he intends to make a complete picture of American life. Milt Gross, perpetrator of the in- comparable "Nize Baby," is launching another little book for the public's de- light. It is "Hiawatta, Wit No Odder Pomes," published last week.

Josef Reviews of New Books "The World of William Clissold" --H. G. Wells. It is nothing new to say that Wells has done a bold thing. It is some- thing newer to say that he has done it supremely well. In his two volume novel, "The World of William Clis- sold," he has returned to that bril- liant, penetrating, constructive method of which at times he is undeniably a master. This "World of William Clissold" is a novel in three distinct parts. The first more or less incidental background of Clissolds, the essentials of the his- tory of mankind, an analysis of so- cialism with particular attention to Karl Marx and Bolshevism, a most penetrating history of the develop- ment of advertising, and insight into the power it does and could exercise in the world, an analysis of the War and England after the War and num- berless other things. Then in Volume Two, comes the story of William Clissold himself. A novel within, not a novel but let us say a library, a sympathetic, beauti- fully written love story which makes us--so insatiable are we in this life for romance--turn with regret on to the third part, a return to the social and economic analysis and reconstruc- tion which is the larger part of the book. It is useless to try and summarize in a line or two the really vast compre- hensive program Mr. Wells has form- ulated for a World Republic. We can only say that his mind goes broad and deep, that he writes with insight and sincerity and emotion, and that for anyone who likes to follow an amaz- ingly brilliant mind there is enioy- ment waiting for him in "William Clissold." "Introduction to Sally"--Elizabeth. It is difficult to say what "Eliza- beth" was aiming at in "Introduction to Sally." If she has been a little less ironical we should have said she was laughing only at her characters and not at us, but as it is we are left doubt- ing just how her humor is divided be- tween us. --Esraer GouLp The Book Nook is here to help you ob- serve National Book Week Circulating Library of Best and Newest Fiction and Non-Fiction 809 Oak St., Winn. 635 EE -- Ee --_..,A°S i a a a ES a J hii Engin Spe Yi hd hae Si Si ten av Bo --
