VALENTINE DAY IS
NEAR At HAND
Historical and Romantic Day Of The
Year is Looked Forward To.

February fourteenth is Valen
tine Day
The announcement is nothing
new or startling. Valentine Day
is February n every year, and
has been since about the wear three
hundred. But it is not too early
for merchants to begin preparing
for the event, as they are now
doing.
First shipments for this years
valentines now are arriving in
Oakland. There is an infinite
number of them-all kinds, all
sizes. all prices. There are pretty
ones, very pretty ones, worth any
where from ten cents up to as many
dollars And then there are the
so-called funny valentines.
Fewer funny" valentines are
sold every year here, according to
several dealers who handle such
stock When comic valentines
first made their appearance in local
markets, they at once sprang into
favor. Their sale was astounding
50 it is no wonder dealers paid so
much attention to them.
Their prices had to be reduced
through competition. Gradually
the fully gave way to the vu1-
gar, nowadays over one-half Of
these alleged funny valentines are
such as no friend would send to
another. The general public Xix
ing for them has decreased.
The custom of sending valen-
tines on St. Valentines Day is an
ancient one. Modern valentines

origin away back in the year

After nine years q effort, sacrifice
and planning, the women Of Abilene,
Kansas, last week saw . fruition Of
their hopes in tho dedication Of .
public library costing sl2,6OO,
equipped with 5000 books, and set
in the midst Of the city park, in the
most central block Of town.
This accomplishment is striking
example Of what can be done in the
average country community when the
right people have the right inspira-
tion and endeavor to do some good to
those around them. Ten years ago
the people Of Abilene laughed at the
idea Of successful public library.
Several attempts had been made to
establish such and each was a failure.
The books had gradually been lost
and finally the rooms we're given up
and the library became q history.
The club women took up the idea
and appointed committee composed
Of women from each Of the clubs with

NEW RATE IN EFFECT. !
Letters Can Be Sent to England for
Two Cents.

You can send letters to your friends
iu the old country now for less than
half what Uncle Sam has been charg-
ing. The rate now on letters from
the United States to England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales is two cents per
ounce, instead Of five cents. The new
rate went into effect yesterday. The
British Postotice authorities have
made a similar reduction.
The reduction applies only to letter
postage. 1t is still necessary to place

made another effort. It was a slow
and tedious process at first, and the
first books were gifts from individuals
and made very meager collection OF
Indifferent literature. The, first
money in any amount that was Sc
cured for the library was from leo
ture BY Mr.. Bryan soon after the
election Of 1900. The proceeds were
divided between the library ond other
local enterprises and 800 was
realized.
Then came the iirstrummsge sale,
something the town had never ex-
perienced and which created much
hilarity when 1t opened. But In
those days old clothes were much
more in demand than at these pros
porous times. and the proceeds sur.
prised even the management by the
size Of the sum realized. After this
library fund grew steadily from all
sorts OF entertainments, donations
and schemes that would add to its
proportion. A small room was se-
cured over a grocery store and the
first books we're installed with al
librarian who practically gave her
services.
This librarian was Miss Ida
ROmig, graduate Of Kansas Uniysr-
sity and with experience In the large
book concerns Of Chicago and Boston.
She entered into the work Of the
library with all the en-
thusiasm Of the club women COM
mittee and gave 1t the same earnest
and careful attention that might
characterize the largest city institu-
ton.
After a while the city voted H.

This block was in the center Of
town, but on low ground which had
often been overflowed at food time.
