Telephone Company Meets.

The Willmar Spicer Telephone Co.
held its annual meeting on Tuesday
afternoon at the residence of O.. Son.
derson. The company voted to extend
their line west through Dovre and if
possible to effect a connection with the
Mamre Telephone company's line at a
point near the Thorpe schoolhouse,
in Dovre. Another extension will
probably be built down the east side
Eagle Lake and third branch run up
the west side of Lake Ringo to connect
with the Lake Andrew line. Such an
arrangement if carried out, will get
the different neighborhoods we'll con-
nected. The following officers were
elected: President, o. Sonderson;
vice president, G. A. Baklund; Sec
rotary, o. N. Grue; treasurer, Arne
Embertson; director for 3 years, Sondre
Sonderson> The company has s5l.13

The Delineator for February.

For the woman Of fashion, the February
Delineator, with it's display of spring styles,
is a most attractive number. Besides the
fashions there is much of interest for the gen.
era1 reader, and the departments concerning
the practical householder have been abun-
dainty contributed to. There are short sto-
with an interesting travel sketch entitled lin
Cairo with a Camera" by Horace Wynd-
ham. Miss Winslow's story Of club life THE
President of Quex" is continued, gaining
is concluded with an article on "Old Time
Lights" For the children there is delight
full girls serial, Sunlight and Shadow one
amusing games by Lima Beard. Mothers
will find DR.. Murray's paper on Exercise
and Physical Culture particularly helpful,
and the numerous pages devoted to matters
of housewifely interest, such as cookery, gar
dening, house furnishing, ETC., will prove to
be of equal interest to the young housewife.

The attendance in the children g
room was 1886. The mag azines in
their room are the Youths Compan-
ion, The American Boy, Birds. and
Nature and St. Nicholas. Mr.: Bjor-
sell very kindly made and donated a
magazine rack for the children's room,
SO that: their magazines are within
easy reach. The children as q rule
are very quiet and thoughtful for the
rights of of others. A new picture
will soon be added to the children's
room which will make it more attrac-
tive and homelike. !
The catalog of non-iction will soon
be completed and will prove a. valu-
able feature of the library.
The number of new borrowers reg
istered during the year is 8S5, making
the number of borrowers cards in
force at the end of the year, 1872.
Various bulletins have been put up
during the year, thus aiming to call
attention to books on various sub
jects, February calendar calling at
tention to the birthdays of the month
and the biographies, also bulletins on
Holland, Japan, the best American
fiction and in December those books
which suggested Christmas presents.
The Japanese exhibit of prints held
week during October was quite a
success. These Japanese prints were
obtained from the Beard Art store in
Minneapolis, and were on sale. An
admission was charged and tea was
served, which added to the socia-
bility. The sum of $3.50 was cleared,
which will 60 into a picture for the
children's room.
In July the Woman's Institute gave
''Flower Show'' in the basement, Of
fering prizes for the best varieties and
collection of flowers. There was an
admission of ten cents charged and
ice cream and cake were served. The
proceeds were donated to the library,
which amounted to $4,000. It is hoped
that these festivals be continued and
that the idea of extending the prizes
to the children will be carried out,
thus creating more interest in flower
gardening.
Several counties have adopted with
success the County Extension plan.
Judging from the number of requests
for books from people living outside
of the city this plan ought to be a sue
cess in this county. With assistance
from the county, libraries could be
placed in the larger towns thruout the
county and the benefits of the library
be accessible to every one.
