On account of so much rain the
farmers of this part of the coun.

work on the brest and between
the fore legs of animals. We
hope they will not last long.

All this talk about Johnson for

The writer was in the Batesville
court four days last week. Don't
giggle; this is solemn narrative
of melancholy fact. We didn't
commit assault and battery on a

drop. If we acted drunk it was
just biliousness, if disorderly only
collie. We're subject to both but
not to politics any more.
Mr.. Editor, in case the nine

that Sullivan is the "crimson

too often forgotten, but when

thing good and praise it. The
finest bit of English we ever read

LIBRARY FOUNDERS DAY.
Women's Club Members Generously
Respond to Appeal for Books.

SSS'>S'
Public library founders library day,
an annual event with the MARSHALL
town Women's club, was celebrated at
its regular meeting Wednesday after
noon in Red Mems hall. Mrs. f. S.
Hynds, president briefly reviewed the
origin of the library movement here,
and the part which the Women's club
had in it. Mrs. George Darling was
called upon to tell of the industrial
school last Saturday, and reported
thirty-eight children present. An appeal
was made for more teachers.
The program opened with much
enjoyed vocal number, "Thy Name"
(Woob, by Miss Alice Harmon, of Ce-
dar Rapids, who responded to an en-
core. Mrs. C. A. Eadie was Miss
Harmon's accompanist.
The address of the afternoon was
given by Rev. c. w. McCord. and
proved a treat to his audience. He
stated that he had been given no sub
ject, and was therefore placed in a
rather embarrassing position, but pro-
ceeded to give a delightfully."- informal
talk. The gist of the speakers re-
marks was on conditions in our own
city, and what can be done to better
it intellectually. He commended the
progressiveness, culture, refinement
and high standard of work of the club.
Every age has it's line of thought that
it especially emphasizes, he said, and
defined various ages in the worlds

history Coming down to the present,
he pointed out that ii was hitherto
unheard of. and fortunate combination
of the religious and scientific. Science
has compelled recognition. and today
the Christ and his teachings hold
place more secure than for the past
eight centuries. Fortunately, he said,
the church Is beginning to awaken to
It's possibilities, and science and re-
ligion have clasped hands. trending
toward a religion for the whole man,
physical as we'll as spiritual.
The library stands next to the church
as a factor for educational good, he
said. incidentally. he spoke a word Of
defense for the present library board,
and pleaded that any mistakes Of the
past be not visited upon it, Mr. McCord
deplored the depraved taste of a large
part of the reading community. and
urged that 1t be given not only better
things to read. but an idea of what
these things really are. He pointed out
how the club women could. better even
than the church. help lift up the wom-
en- of the community who occupy no
higher position than that of social
drudges On behalf Of the board he Of
fered and urged the free use OF the IL
brary auditorium for committee meet
ings, etc. He said: MANY helpful lee
lures ought to be given there but we
can't afford them. The appropriation is
hardly sufficient to pay the running
expenses of the library
Mr.. McCord pointed out the tre-
mendous opportunity the library has
for more good. If 1t had only the
equipment with which to accomplish
1T, and concluded with the appeal:
This is what we would like-for ev-
cry woman in the club who is inter-
ested in the work. to give one book
or signify her Willingness to be re-
sponsible for the cost price of one
book. not to exceed $105. the book in
the latter case to be purchased by the
book committee, and the board striving
always to be faithful to its trust" The
suggestion was made from the floor
and heartily endorsed that where one
individual did not feel able to give
alone two or more unite to give the
price of book. Mrs Grace X. Havi
land. librarian, was present, with the
written petition, which each of the
board members had signed heading
the list, and each one expressing a
willingness to give one or more books
The petition was quite generously |
signed by the club ladies present. and
others will undoubtedly contribute.
The program closed with a violin
solo by Miss Marguerite Lewis. with
piano accompaniment by Miss Fannie |
Lennox. The young ladies responded !
to an enthusiastic encore. Light re-
freshments were enjoyed, following the
program
Guests present from out Of town
aside from Miss Harmon. were Mrs.
Hatch. of Bennett, Wis: Mrs. Wallace,
of Melbourne and Mrs. Gibson, of Min
