the Liberals. One of the new premier's
earliest proclamations ordered provin-

HOPING FOR INCREASE
LIBRARY WORK DELAYED
Earlham College is Awaiting Reply
From Andrew Carnegie Relative to
the Request That he increase His
Gift From $4,000 to SO, 900.

The Carnegie Library committee at
Earlham anxiously awaits an answer
TO the letter sent To Andrew Carne-
sic asking him TO raise his original
offer of $4,000 to an amount OF s4o.-
600, providing of course. that the col
lege raises a like amount In his first
offer to Earlham Mr. Carnegie stipu-
lated that he would give $4,000 to-
ward library at Earlham provided
the college would raise a similar
amount as an endowment
The college has raised the $50. 900
necessary and even went farther and
raised almost $4,000 with the hope
that Mr. Carnegie would raise his ori-
ginal offer to that amount The com
mittee wrote to him some time ago.
In the meantime the committee is
being put to disadvantage owing TO
the fact that it is not able to come TO
any conclusion as TO what kind of
plans are necessary for the new build
ing until Mr.. Carnegie is heard from.
