 BY HIGH SCHOOL
Success Beyond Most Sanguine Expectations of Promoters
 of the Movement.
GIRLS THE BEST WORKERS
Interesting Session at School Monday Morning in Which Instructors. Pu-
 pils and Visitors Took Part.

The fund raised by the higl school pupils of Mena for the pur pose of buying new books for the Public Library amounted to s76. much more than the most sapguine anticipated, the classes reporting as follows:
 freshmen $25, sophomores, s24.25; juniors, s23 35; seniors, $7.
 The high school room was the scene of unusual interest Monday morning as the pupils were count ing up the results of their united labors of Friday, when each and all worked with a right good will for the benefit of the library. The efforts were so beyond the sanguine expectations of the most optomistic that 1t was no wonder they all had such smiling faces and that Professors Adams and Burns were equally pleased and proud of the varied accomplish ments along practical lines that Friday brought forth.
 Professor Adams then placed on the blackboard the amounts earned by each class, and fol- lowed by asking for talk from the ladies of Library committee of the Woman's Literary Club who were present.
 Mrs. Shaver, as president of the Woman's Literary Club, made a nice little talk thanking them in behalf of the club and the peo- pie of Mena, emphasizing the fact that the library was as much the property of the school chil- dren as of any.
 Mrs. Stratton, as chairman of the Library committee, made bright and humorous talk along the same lines.
 Miss Eva Hewlett made the largest return, but as Miss Flor ence Rosbach was such a close second, it was decided to award library cards to each, Mrs. Shaver making the announcements. Miss Florence very gracefully thanked the committee for the card and gave it back to the library, as she explained that to be so for tunate in her efforts was reward enough as she felt that the library belonged as much to her as to any.
