LIBRARY IS PATRoNIzED.
Lewiston Carnegie Library shows Ex-
cellent Growth.

The Carnegie library was opened
in October, 1900, seven years ago.
says the Lewiston Tribune. At that
time a few hours of two days in each
week was sufficient to accommodate
all the applicants for books, and a
very few books were enough to go
around.
After seven years of growth there
is a striking contrast in conditions.
There are now 5000 books. All the
leading magazines and periodicals
are on file In teh reading rooms. The
list of patrons has grown to 1910. Oh
these, 100 have been added since the
first of November. The librarian is
kept busy during the eight hours the
library is open, applicants for books
averaging 100 a day. This seems in
credible, but 1t is shown to be true
by the records.
With 1910 patrons and a daily
average of 100 applicants for books
the need for more is certainly appar-
ent. The library might well have
three times as many books to serve
this patronage. 1t should have If
possible at least twice the present
number. If we remember also that
many of the books are much worn by
years of service and shrould be re-
placed, the need is emphasized

Albuquerque. N. NJ. is already

tation of Science bidding the Desert
drink and bars around the exterior

The button will be struck off In
three striking colors and will be about
the size of q half dollar. These but
tons may be obtained by Albuquer-
que people from the board OF control
OF the congress at actual cost. The
buttons will be manufactured by the
Whitehead and Hoag company OF
Newark, New Jersey The first con-
signment will be distributed at head
quarters In about two weeks. They
are extremely handsome and will bo
much in demand as booster buttons
and souvenirs.
