"A queer customer and undoubtedly
a bad lot," was Saxton's reflection.
, When Saxton had written out the
report of his trip he took it to Whea
ton to get his suggestion before for

the cashier as his predecessor. and
wished to avail himself of Wheatons
knowledge of the local conditions af-
fecting the several properties that had
now passed to his care. Wheaton UNI

and in their discussion of the report.
the cashier made many suggestions
of value, of which Saxton was glad to
avail himself.

He had used the plural pronoun out
of courtesy to Wheaton, wishing him
to feel that his sanction was asked
in any changes that were made.
Il don't see that there's anything
else to do" Wheaton answered. I've
been to the ranch, and there's little
personal property there worth caring
for. That man Snyder came along
one day and asked for a job, and I
sent him out there, thinking he'd keep
things in order until the trust COM

There were times when Wheaton's

this was one of the times. =

MORE ROOM NEEDED
Crowded Condition Of City Ii
brary Told.

1t is probable now that before long
the library board will find means to
increase the room OF that institu-
tion, which is greatly needed. Pres
ident Fred Smith has in mind plan
looking toward this end. He says,
however, that the plan is not uttic-
iently developed as yet to say any
thing definite, tut something will be
done.
The need Of more room at the city
library has been apparent for a long
time, and it IS growing more so every
day, for in spite Of the fact that
Librarian Mrs. Page will not order
any more books than is absolutely
necessary owing to the limited room,
books are slowly accumulating. and
they are not alone piled on the
shelves as thick as they can be, but
on tables, chairs and floor. What
! those Interested hope to secure is not
alone more room to place the books
but also space enough for a reading
room. at present none of the cur
rent periodicals are to be found in
the library for the simple reason that
there is no room for them. These
would be much read If they could be
cot at, and by people coming to the
library for this kind OF literature
the better works would become more
popular. There are several valuable
works in the collection that people
would use for reference If the library
once became popularized. The fact
is that half OF the people OF the town
either do not know that there is
library, or hear of it so seldom that
it Is forgotten. The result is that
the reading public either buys or
borrows books from neighbors that
cou,d just as well be had in the
library. The library is now mostly
used by High school students and
club women, but it is only matte:
of the general public learning OF
what books can be had there to
make it as popular with all s-rr---,
A plan for the acquisition of, the
latest books in popular fiction has
been inaugurated by Mrs. Page
Some time ago i've gentlemen each
donated a dollar to the library. The
books purchased with this money are
being rented out at ten cents a
week, and the money thus secured Is
again used to buy more books. The
method is somewhat SLOW, but as all
the books are constantly rented
money is coming in faster each time
new volume is added.
