Roqueplan, a Partisan journalist,
who was also manager of a theater,
had an easy method of dealing with
literary aspirants. One time his lit

by a young dramatic author. This
apartment was comfortably furnish

hidden by heavy curtains. <<Tako a

The whole three acts were read

at this work in many of the lodging

true Of those in New York. For
many years all the bedmakers 10

house, with from 400 to 500 beds,

floor and keeps it clean and in or

American "Prudishness."

In the face of foreign criticism, and
in the face of ones own disnay a,
existing conditions with regard to
divorce, we still sympathize with the
retort admins tered to an alien critic
of our people, who had declared, in
private conversation, that America
seemed to be afflicted with a disease
of prudishness. The answer was
somewhat in these words 1.-THE incident
occurred several years ago.: "Yes,
probably it is true that America is
prudish. but considering the revela-
tions that have recently taken place
concerning certain circles in London,
and considering the condition of a
good part Of the Partisan stage and
of French literature. 1, for one, am
willing that we should pay that price
for the knowledge that, on the whole,
Americans are the decentest people, in
regard to the relations of the sexes,
on the face of the globe. From an
editorial in the June Century on
Divorce.

Grey Eagle Victorious.
Defeated Sank Centre Bal
Team on Saturday.

A large crowd of our citizens turned
out on Saturday to witness what was
perhaps one of the fastest games OF
ball played here in years. Hall and
Drill were in the points for the locals
and did excellent work, throwing out
i've men at the bat and allowing none
to walk. Sarff and Brown handled
the sphere for the visitors, the Grey
Eagle team. Brown was wild in the
beginning of the game, allowing sew
eral men to walk, but steadied down in
the fourth inning and pitched good
ball, striking out nine men. Up to
the sixth inning the game looked we'll
for Sank Centre, but at this critical
point our boys lost their bearings and
Grey Eagle took the lead which they
held throughout the game. Our boys,
however, dem onstrated that they are
fast coming to the point and feel con-
fident that ere the season closes Sank
Centre will have a team of which the
city may be proud. Both captain ana
men have worked hard in organizing
this team and mean to push it to sue
cess. The boys will have thei uni
forms in the course of a week.
DeGroat acted as umpire. The
score stood to in favor of Grey
Eagle. Local business men donated
about eight dollars in helping to de-
fray expenses of the game.

has Removed
Thither.

Sank Centre loses one of its most
valuable young citizens. w. V.
Whipple has purchased an interest in
the Ideal hat and furnishing company
of Minneapolis, one of the old estab.
lished and best known furnishers in
the city, and has removed thither to
take an active part In that extensive
business. While it is a fine business
opening for young man of Mr.. Whip
pies energy and business ability, and
he is to be congratulated, yet the de-
parture of himself and wife will be
felt as distinct business and social
loss to the city. Practically all of
his life has been spent in Sank Centre,
and as boy, youth and man ne has
won and held the esteem of all his
associates affable and genial, it is
ever pleasure to meet him either in
business or socially, and his estim-
able wife is held in the highest regard
by a large circle of friends. For
several years MIR. Whipple has been
associated with his father in the lum-
Der and insurance business, and the
firm of V. A. Whlpple & Son has stood
deservedly high in business circles.
His father will certainly feel his loss
keenly in the direction and detail
management of his large interests
here. Mr.. and Mrs. 'Whipple take
with them the cordial good will of the
entire community.

Travelling Libraries.

It may not be known to many
people in Minnesota that a free IL
brary may be had for the asking by
applying to the Minnesota State Lii
brary Commission. This commission
was established by the Legislature in
1899, and system of free travelling
libraries was begun in January, 1900,
as soon as funds were available,
Libraries have been added from year
to year, until there are now 200 in
circulation. A travelling library
contains % or SO carefully selected
books packed in neat case, with
blanks, catalogue and necessary dir
ections for the circulation OF the
books. A library will be loaned to
any village, town or community upon
application of at least 10 residents
taxpayers, who will form a local Ii
brary association and agree to be
responsible for the proper CAFE of the
library. A fee of S1.00 for so books
and $50 for 25 books is charged for
each library to cover cost of transpor-
tation both ways. The books may be
retained six months, but will be ex-
changed oftener if desired. The
travelling libraries are especially
designed for the use of farming com
munities and small villages which
cannot support local public library.
They are also of great service to small
public libraries which cannot have
frequent accessions of new books.
They should also serve as an incen-
titive to the establishment of libraries
in small villages and towns.
The appropriation for the year
1923 will be available August 1st,
and new libraries will be ready for
circulation in the fall. Those wish
ing to take advantage of this splendid
opportunity to get the best books free
of cost should make application as
soon as possible to Miss Gratia
Countryman, Secretary of the Mime
sofa State Library Commission,
Public Library, Minneapolis, who
will furnish application blanks and
full information.
