ADVICE TO
KNOCKERS.
If There Are Any IN Wadsworth
They ShouId Read the
Following,

If there Is a chance to boom busi-
ness, boom 1t. Don't pull a long face
and get sour on your stomach. Don't
be a knocker. Hope a bit. Get a
smile on you. Hold up your head.
Get a hold with your hands. Then pull.
Bury your Ratchet. Drop your toma-
hawk. Hide your little hammer.
When a stranger drops in, tell him of
the great resources of this town. Don't
roast. Be jolly. Get popular. It's
dead easy. Help yourself along. Push
your friends along with you. Sooa
you'll have a whole procession. Be a
good fellow. No one ever helped him
self by knocking people down.. No
man ever got ricn trying to make the
people believe he was the only good
man on earth. You can't climb the
ladder of fame by treading on other
peoples corns. You'll be knocked
down a peg. They're their corns, not
yours and they're tender. Keep off
the corns. When a stranger asks
for Information regarding the mineral
and agricultural outlook Of this region
tell him all you know. If you don't
know anything. get posted. Above all
be courteous. Don't freeze him with
a look. You're not the only shirt
waist in the wash. II you don't like
other peoples style. let them alone.
Don't knock. If you have the blues.
or the dyspepsia. or feel tired. and
can't say a good word for people who
are showing the enterprise you don't
possess. keep your mouth shut till you
feel better. II you must cuss some
body, cuss Yourself. You need 1t and
the energetic people who are trying 10
help the town. and increasing the value
of your property together with their
own. have no time 10 do the trick.
There's lots Of fun in minding your
own business. and 1t makes other peo-
pie like you better. Better have others
stuck on you than get stuck on your
self. Nobody gets stuck on a knocker,
Don't be one. Be good.

The library board intended to open
the library building TO the public De
cember LIST, but many things have
occurred to delay. The work OF clean
ing, %fumigating. arranging the books
and making n catalogue, has been
larger than expected. The new ar
rival OF certain electric light fixtures
has also contributed to delay. Every
thing that diligence can do Is being
done to expedite work. In the mean.
time the building is open to visitors
for inspection, and the librarian will
welcome all who may come. Those
who care to contribute books and
thus aid in the laudable work of
building up a library worthy OF this
city, will be especially welcome.
The inquiry, "What books are need.
ed at the library" is often heard.
Books relating to biography, history,
mathematics, astronomy, chemistry,
geology, botany, literature. medicine
and surgery. agriculture. commerce.
fiction. are especially desirable. In
fact, good books on any subject will
be thankfully received. 1t Is the In.
tention to set apart a special corner
for the medical profession, and this
will afford those of that profession an
opportunity to aid in building up a
large collection of books, useful for
consultation. If those who can spare
cational subjects, the library may be
made of great convenience to students
and teachers.
Thirty-three persons and the Wo-
mems Federation, have contributed
425 valuable hooks to the public IL
brary to this date. The number thus
contributing in proportion to the en-
tire population which will have ac-
cess to the library, Is very small.
There must be 1000 people nearby,
who can. without feeling It, contribute
from one to a dozen or more books
for library purposes.
A reading community is necessarily
an intelligent community. The pres
ence of a large public library would
constantly advertise to visitors Las
Vegas as a town Of progress and In
telligence. but above all 1t would tend
to create and maintain an education
al atmosphere beneficial to the boys
and girls who live here. 1t would
afford the young people an opportun
ity for self-improvement, a place
where wholesome mental entertain
ment could always be had.
Our people are liberal in all ways
but no work can more strongly ap
peal TO them than the maintenance
Of a good library.
