SHELBURNE.

There has been mention made from
time to time of tho doings of the Shell
turne Library Building club and that the
people generally may know what the pur-
pose of this club is. It may be we'll to
explain more fully than has been done
what the club is for. In March. 1894. the
matter of n town free library was
brought before the town meeting, and 1t
was voted to take advantage Of the
State offer. the town appropriating 800
and the State giving a like amount for
the purpose of organizing n town library.

mated toward 1t by old residents OF tho
town. Every year the town has voted

So to $40 the amount given Mt tho pres
cnt town meeting. DR.. and Mrs. w. s.
Webb have annually given $50. besides a
very generous supply of books from time
to time. Others have also contributed
hooks till at the present, the library has
about 1900 volumes. As tho number has
grown. the books have been moved from
one place to another until the number Is
50 large the present quarters are far too
small to hold them In February. 1908,
the young people of tho town organized
the Shcburne Library Building club
with q members the object In view be-
ing TO raise funds for library building.
At the March town meeting in 1908, a
committee was appointed by the town to
cooperate with this club and investi-

ton is an inherited Blood Disease
or Not.

Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is a sign of a
blood disorder or simply form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
". H. Sudhoff's or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain so
cents worth of poslam. Apply this,
and if the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in a few days it
may be set down as having been ecze-
ma, as this is the way poslam acts in
the worst cases of eczema, and in cur
ing acne, herpes, blotches. letter,
piles, salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS and

Brewers in Bad Fix.


The brewers of the state are in a
bad fix They are scared stiff over
the prospect that is before them. for
counties are voting themselves dry in
all parts of the state and the leeisa-
ture now seems determined to not try
to stop the drying up process. There
are millions of dollars invested in
brewery properties in this state. and
If it goes on as it is going now the
time is not very far distant when
brewery stock will not be worth much.
In two years from now. if county on
ton elections continue to go as they
are now going, YOU can buy dollars
worth of brewery stock for a plugged
nickel.
Brewers from all over the state are
coming in and camping on the trail of
the legislators in a frantic effort TO
stem the tide, but they are not max
ing a DIT of Roadway. The temper
ance forces have the bit in their teeth
and they are running at full tilt.

proctor Liquor ELL.
Senator Proctor has a liquor bill
| that he will introduce in the senate
in the next day or two that will be
different from any yet offered during
| the session. And. by the way, it will
be the first one to make it's appear
| ance in the senate. 1t will repeal the
county option law but it would not
| substitute township and ward option
1t would substitute high license in
cities and incorporated town and
would do away entirely with saloons
In unincorporated towns and in town
ships with a population of less than
800. His idea is to confine saloons
| to the cities and towns that have more
than 1000 inhabitants. This feature
alone, he says. would make much dry
territory in the state because there
are many wet townships whose Dopu
| lation is below 1900. He would give
the people Of each city ward the right
to vote on whether they shall have
saloons but in towns the whole town
would vote

Abe Simmons, of Button, who was
one of the Indiana delegates at large
TO the democratic national convention
at Denver last summer, has written a
letter to Representative Merriman. OF
| Bluffton, one of the temperance dem
ocrats of the house. in which he ad
vises Merriman to stand pat against
the repeal OF the county local option
law. He says that it is not now ar
issue and should not be made o.,e. He
| says that at the time when the plat
form was adopted declaring for town
ship and ward local option there was
no local option law in the state and
the democrats believed that this
would be the best kind to enact if any
were enacted at all. But, now. he
says. there is local option law OF
| the books. The democratic state
platform. he says. did not declare fol
the repeal of the county option law
and it could not be so understood l,
merely declared for township and
ward local option when there was
none of any kind in force. If the
democrats had gotten to it first, he
says, they would have enacted a town
| ship and ward law, but the republi
cans got there first. and the thing tc
do now is to accept the result He
says the county option law should be
given fair trial and if it is found te
