tators for the Exercises.
The dedication of the building, the
exercises of which began at 3 this af-
%ternoon. took place at the Odeon. The
seating capacity of the pretty theater
was taxed, showing h interest Mar
lshalltown has in the opening for public
use of the most beautiful library
buildings in the state. On the stage
were seated a number Of the guests
from out of the city, including the
speakers, who occupied the south half,
together with the members of the IL
brary board. In the center of the stage,
surrounded by a bank of ferns, from
which emerged several Easter lily blos-
SONS, stood a large cluster Of American
beauties. AT the foot, from n side to
the other, was strung asparagus plu-
mosis, and on either side We're banked
palms and ferns.
The program opened with "The Song

town on the important step taken,
which means so much for the future
prosperity, Intellectual culture n
moral elevation of it's people.
His main theme was the pubic IL
brary as a source Of inspiration, hut
ne prefaced his remarks with a par
ticular phase-the cooperation OF the
library with the public schools. He said
that by this cooperation the value OF
the instruction while the child is IN
school will be doubled; moreover the
child will secure more or less contln-
uance of the study after leaving school
and will continue upward in educa-
tional lines because of the love OF read
ing, gained thru the use of the pubic
library. He quoted President Elliot,
or Harvard, when he said: From the
total training during childhood there
should result in the child a taste for
Interesting and improving reading,
which should direct n inspire Its
subsequent intellectual development.

oUARTERMAsTER's BULL
One Is Much Needed, the Crowded Con-
dition of the Present Quarters Inter
ferine With the Work-New Barn,
to Replace Burned Structure, New
Root Cellar and New Kitchen Needed.

While the new buildings erected last
summer, and others completed this
year, nave bettered general conditions
at the Iowa Soldiers Home to a great
degree, present necessities demand ad-
ditional buildings. for which appro-
priations will be asked when the next
general assembly Principally
among the new buildings will be a new
quarters having become entirely made
quate for the demands enforced by the
! growth Of the institution.
The board of control has been look
ing into the conditions with a careful
eye, and while it does not just n
ton the present methods that are nee
e~ssarily employed in the quarter
masters department, it can suggest no
remedy until a new building is erected.
At present it is necessary to issue
supplies from all departments for there
is no place to store the asst amount
needed. The board feels that the prop
er way is to issue everything from the
Oilc -OulluIlS, Us was III
past, when the quartermaster's build
ing was large enough to supply the en-
tire institution. 1t is likely the new
quartermaster's building will be built
where the old barn stood, north of
the present building.
The burning Of the Home barn, has
greatly Inconvenience the institution
during the entire winter, for all the
horses have had to be kept in sheds
wherever room could be found. That
will be another important addition to
the buildings, and will probably be
built 100 feet north OF where the old
barn stood, some distance from n
OF the other institution buildings.
Another new building needed, is. a
root cellar, for the storing of potatoes
and other vegetables used in large
quantities, that are in danger OF freez-
ing during the winter months. A new
kitchen for the hospital is still another
Important addition that will be neces-
|sary, because of the constantly increas-
ing membership of the hospital as the
age OF the veterans increases. 1t is
contemplated that the new kitchen will
kitchen and pantry will be converted
into a dining room, which is very much
needed. 1t is likely hat the addition
will be two stories. giving the same.
mount of room on the second floor.
The new kitchen is badly needed at the
present time.
The present quarterlnaster's building
will probably be made into a smoking
room, or at least the lower floor, when
the new building is erected, and the
present smoking room, located in the
basement Of the main building, will be
used for an additional dining room.

#. w. Hargrave, DR.. Mcbride, Mr.. w. l..
Place and MI. Anthony C. DAILY. While
the entire board has been much inter-
ested in building of the new structure
Mrs. Howe has been most instrumental
in bringing about the happy realization
of the plans for a new home for the
library. 1t has taken an endless
amount of work, and has required the
services of some one who could devote
practically his entire time to the de-
tails. Mrs. Howe has shown much abil-
ity in perfecting the plans for the
building, and in arranging the eXpend-
iture of the money SO that it would do
the most good. Her success can be
vouched for by all who will visit the
building today for the first time, when
they will realize that some master ham
has a to do with detail that neither
architect, contractor or workman was
In touch. What has been done by every
one has been thru interest alone in
providing for Marshalltown one Of the
finest libraries of the state, and the city
is indeed fortunate in possessing Il will
ing lot of club women, especially, who
gave from their treasures interior
furnishings that it would have been i'm
possible to purchase had not n fund
been created other than that donated
by Mr.. Carnegie.
Mrs. Della l.. B. Conover. of Chicago,
daughter of the late H. f. j. Board
man. is another to whom Marshalltown
is indebted. Mrs. Conover has fur
nished most exquisitely, and without
consulting cost the interior of the
museum and art room. the decorations
and furniture of which represent All

Conover's gift to the library is as a
memorial to her father.
