On the evening Of June 25th
the Ladies Improvement Lea
lgue will offer the play, "The
Carpet Bagger' for the benefit
of the Library fund. The play
is a very interesting one, deal
ing with the grating in office
of certain politicians of the
South. The scenes are laid in
Mississippi during what is
known as the carpet bag reign
and depicts the struggle of the
citizens Of the state to break
the hold of the politicians. The
play has many gripping situa-
lions and a fine vein of comedy
runs throughout the play. An
exceptional caste of amatuers
will present the play and are
working hard over it now. The
League Wishes to impress this
fact upon the public, that no
one makes a cent from the pro-
duction of this play but the Ii
brary. No outsider is staging
this play in order to take the
heavy end of the receipts, but
the work is being done by our
own people who expect and
will receive only the thanks of
the League. AS the library is
a thing of vital interest to ev.
cry person in Mo Valley, and
as it is for your good that the
League is making the effort to
bring to you a library of real
value, we think we are entitled
to your support. And as we
assure the full value of your
we hope for a return
from the play adequate to the
work the caste are so generous
" giving us. We believe in Mo
Valley. We are working for Mo
Valley and we will appreciate
all the support Mo Valley can
give us. Remember this is for
the Library" and when the
ladies call upon you to take
seats, forget your crouch and
remember your children, they
are the ones who get the bene-
fit of the money.
