APPEALS TO
OUR CITIZENS
VOman's Club and Library Com
mittee Ask Assistance

The board of directors of the Wo-
mans club and the library commit
Zee met in joint session at the home
of Mrs. ]. M. Elder yesterday and
after full discussion it was unani-
mously voted that the following
tatement be submitted to the public
arough the local press.
10 the Citizens of Occur d'Alene:
The question of maintaining a Ii
brary and reading room is one of
public interest and we believe the
time has come when the matter
should be placed before the people
and they should say what shall be
done with regard to keeping the Ii
brary and reading room open.
The Woman's club has managed
to collect something over 2100 vol
umes, a good per cent of these being
reference works. The reading room
is we'll stocked with reading matter,
prominent citizen having donated
subscriptions for $50 worth of maya
zines, and other citizens are sending
in current numbers of magazines and
editors the daily papers.
The reading room is crowded most
Of the time to it's utmost capacity
with readers from the public schools
looking up reference works. 1t is in
charge of a trained librarian, one
who holds the degree of Bachelor of
Library Science.
1t was hoped that by this time the
city would feel that it could take the
library and support it by tax, but the
COuncilmen have felt that the de-
mands along other lines were too
great, so they have not been able to
DO this, nor TO give us the appropria-
ton of 5000, which we believed had
been pledged us. So, as it is, the Ii
brary has grown, there being ovel
s 1000 readers, until it is too big q
thing for the Woman's club to handle
without help. In order to do the work
demanded by the public it has be
come necessary to keep the library
open every afternoon and evening
and Sunday afternoon. The expense
attached to this is $50 per month fol
librarian, $40 a month rent ant
about 81 a month for extra heat anC
4 light.
Every member of the Woman
club, we believe, is in favor of FREE
reading room, but some difference o
opinion with regard to the best wa,
of managing it has come up AM
caused criticism, some of it just, TO
no doubt mistakes have been mad
by us all, but we believe in ever
case it will be found to be a mistak
in judgement and not in principle

IRISH FAIR IN NEW YORK
Exhibits From the Old Sod Attracts
Attention.

Attention.
NEW YORK, Jan. Madison
Square Garden blossomed out in brill
liant green today, heralding the open
ing of the Irish-American Industrial
exhibition, which will last until jan
uary 26. Irish industries and the
attainments Of Ireland in art and
letters are illustrated by exhibits
such as have never been seen before
in this country. The displays include
exhibitions in lace and linen weaving,
pottery mining agriculture and many
other industries.
A mammoth map of Ireland, made
of earth and sod taken directly from
all the counties of the Emerald isle,
is a feature of the show and affords
Irish visitors an opportunity of tread
ing the old soil. Irish history will
be the topic of a series of lectures to
be delivered by prominent men dur
ing the exhibition.
Every county of Ireland is repre-
sented among the exhibits of the diff
ferent Industries aggregating over
four score. Many exhibits have been
sent from the recent Irish Interna-
tional exposition at Dublin. The OBJ
jeet of the show is to interest the
American public in the industrial
development of Ireland and TO prove
that the work of progress begun but
a decade ago has already had big re-
suits.
A novel feature is the immense and
valuable collection of Irish minerals
and metals, including gold. The prec
ious metal has recently been discov
cred in paying quantities in IRELAND
and the prospects are now being de
veloped.

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURES
Stringent Prohibition Bill Will Gre
ate Fight

ate tkht
JACKSON, Miss, Jan. What
promises to be one of its most inn
portant sessions in years was formal
ly opened today by the Mississippi
legislature. A demand will I'M
doubtedly be made by the temper
ance element in the state to secure
the passage of stringent prohibit
uon law. A large portion of the
state is already dry" and as there
are no large centers of population
IN the state, it is unlikely that much
opposition viii develop if such q
law is passed at this time.
Fardaman and the other old state
officials will hold Office until January
a. when Governor-elect Noel will
take the oath as chief executive OF
lhe state, and Lieutenant Governor
elect Manship will then become pre-.
siding officer of the senate. The in,
angural ceremonies will be marked
Og an enthusiastic celebration, in
which the people of Mississippi vii
pay tribute to Governor VardamaI
as well as to the incoming state exc
eutive.

as possible. After this month, un-
less we can have financial support
from the citizens for the maintain
ing of the library and reading room,
we will, in the opinion of the board
of directors, and library committee,
have to pack the books away until
such time as the city can take the Ii
brary.
The Woman's club could keep
new books coming in but to do this
and maintain it too they believe to
be too great burden. We realize
the burdens placed on business men
in new growing town and we ask
you to be perfectly frank with us
and If you can help us we will thank
you heartily. Think it over careful
ly, remembering that the reading
room is the only door open to the
growing boys of the town.
We also ask that plans for con-
Quoting the library be placed before
the committee for consideration, fol
if the public supports the library il
is its privilege to suggest ways and
means.
