MAKE DOGS PAY FOR LIBRARIES

The act of the General Assembly of
libraries in rural public schools was a
move in the right direction. In quite a
number of school districts it has done
much to stimulate reading, not only by
pupils in the public schools but by their
parents as well. Nothing will do so much
to improve the minds of a community as
for people, young and old, to read good
books. Every school district that made
start by reason of help by the State,
ought to make the volumes thus pur-
chased the nucleus of a steadily growing
library, not of books donated by folks
who wish to get rid of dull volumes that
cumber their shelves, but of interesting
and instructive books that will be read
and read again and again by the people
of the school district. The first need is
public interest. Money comes next, but
if the interest is deep enough money will
be found to supply good books. Repre-
sentative B. F. Shelton, who has twice
been member from the House from
Edgecombe, secured the passage of an act
that will make the dogs OF his county
help pay for libraries. Writing OF the
act and its operations, the Tarboro South
erner says:
1.-The county commissioners have order
ed that the taxes collected on dogs I'M
der the Shelton act be turned over to
the treasurer of the Board of Education
to be used in establishing and improving
the libraries of the public schools IN the
county.
This fund this year will amount to
$3.50, but $3.50 of it is reserved for the
expense of enforcing certain provisions
of the law relating to the killing after
July of all dogs on which the tax is not
paid.
This fund will serve a most beneficial
purpose. 1t will in time give credltable
library to every school in the county,
supplying books of reference as well as
for general reading. The dog in Edge
combe is doing more good than he ever
did before. For their sheep killing Fro
pensities they are now to be decided
factor in educating the rising generation.
The whole State will watch with inter-
est the operations of the Shelton act.
The Southerner evidently thinks it will
do all that its author expected. If so,
other counties should adopt it, until it
embraces every county in the State, thus
compelling the dogs of North Carolina to
become "a decided factor in educating the
rising generation

THE COAL FIRE.

Good Housekeeping tells us that, In
order to economize the fuel, we should
have good bed of Goals, and when
adding fuel, shovel on one side only,
covering a little less than half their
surface; put In as much coal as expert
ence may show necessary and have the
coal reasonably fine; do not burn coarse
Jumps. Next time put in fuel on the
other side. In this way, the heat from
the live Goals tends to make coke Of
the fresh fuel, consuming the smoke
and gases. Less draft is needed to
start the fire, and less fuel goes to
waste in gas or smoke, and there is
less gas and dirt in the furnace room
and house. In case Of large Jumps used
to hold the fire, good way is to scat
ter slack over the Jumps, as the slack
tends to hold the fire longer and the
Jumps tend to prevent the slack from
forming cinders
In using coal, especially the soft coal,
there is always more or less fine coal,
or dust in every load, and this can be
used to very great advantage by lay
ing back the Jumps, when one has
fine bed Of coal in the range, and put
ting this fine coal on the live Goals, q
shovelful at a time, In the above man
ner. 1t makes very hot fire, and
there is thus no waste. 1t is very
extravagant way Of doing when one
picks out the Jumps and leaves the fine
coal and dust to be thrown out with
the ashes. Some claim that it adds to
the heating qualities Of the coal dust
to sprinkle it well with water before
using it.
