FOR CARNAGE LIBRARY
Meeting to be Held Tomorrow Even
ina at Public School Building

meeting of those interested III
securing a Carnage library for Brook
ings will be held tomorrow evening
at the Central High school building,
at which time plans will be formulated
for an active campaign for this much
needed enterprise.
We believe that public library for
Brookings would be good thing for
the city, and hope that the plans now
under way will be carried to success
full issue. A library is not a luxury;
if is not for the cultured few; it is
not for any intellectual cult or excr-
sive literary set. 1t is great, broad,
universal public benefaction. 1t lifts
the entire community, and is the upper
story of the public school system,
while il is a broad field wherein ripe
scholars may find fuller training for
their already highly developed facui-
ties. 1t is above all splendid instu-
ment for the education of those boys
and girls who are denied the high
privileges of a common school educa-
ton,

HAD ONE GOOD EFFECT

The only good that the money strin-
gency has brought about is the tell
ing effect it has had on the large
mail order concerns such as Sears Roe
buck and Montgomery. Ward & Co.
In an article published in the Dry
Goods Reporter it states that the pre-
ferred stock of Sears Roebuck dropped
from - to 81. This is 80 points under
the price at which the stock was float
mig eighteen months ago. This firm is
laying off 10 per cent of its force every
three days and so on. In other words
10 per cent of all the employees of the
great concern go on a vacation every
80 days. The management of the firm
admits that the gross receipts the last
half of the current year will be
S2,500 900 less than year ago. For
the first time in it's history this house
is travelling backward instead of for
ward. We understand Montgomery,
Ward e. Co have laid off 500 employees
on account of poor business. There
is good in all things, "-Woonsocket

ca. 1t is at an elevation of 7,OUv feet.
The ranch covers thousands of acres.
The houses are of logs, with big open
