IN answer to the inquiry regarding
the possibility of the trees dying from
the effect nf this stripping: A decidu-
Gus tree will not stand more than three
consecutive strippings. The first will
NATURALLY weaken even vigorous tree
but l do not anticipate any trouble
along these lines unless thr pest occurs
abundantly enough to strip the same
section for at least two mora seasons
We can hardly expect such calamity,
as that would be wholly ouL nf the line
Of former devastations by native in

From information given our at the
State library it is learned that the call
for travelling libraries for the fall and
W:hter work is beginning to be felt and
that several applications have been
received during the past few days. The
demand will probably not however
reach its height until the coming Of
October. The applications and in
quirles have been mostly from rural
towns. which would seem to indicate
that the people of those places are pre-
pairing TO provide themselves with good
reading matter for the enjoyment Of
the long winter evenings.
In view of the sc0ming call for tnis
class of Libraries state Librarian
Emery has added a sufficient number
Of new books to the department 50
that whatever the demand may lie
during the coming fall he viii be able
to meet il with u supply of fresh, rev
libraries. The travelling libraries which
Mr.. Emery sent to the summer resorts
early in The season are now being re-
turned to the State library ana the
record boo KS show that the libraries
nave been we'll patroniZrd ami very
popular. This season, SAYS Mr.. Emery.
Will probably be noted for it's great
number Of books of fiction, and unlikc
former seasons there seems to be an
unusual number of really good books
of that class.
