FREE LIBRARY
NEWS NOTES

one Of the most interesting things
which shows the difference between the
library of to-day and that Of a gem
GRAFTON ago is the effort which Libraries
now make to reach the foreigner. All
social classes are trying to make the
foreigner into a good American, and
the library is trying to do its duty
as we'll as other organizations The
libarry can help the foreigner in many
ways. 1t can supply elementary
books which will help him to learn
English and it can help to make him
contented by supplying him with books
in his own language Many adult
foreigners never learn to read the
English language. and learn of our
customs, history, laws, etc. only from
books printed in their own language
In many public Libraries may be found
books in ten or dozen languages and
in at least one library, that of Calumet.
Mich. are books i'm over twenty
languages
The Free Library of this city has
for years had collections Of German
and French books with a few i'm the
Italian language. Recently. however,
il was decided to increase the collection
of Italian and Polish books. The col
lection of German books has also been
added TO largely.
No department of the library is so
useful 10 the city as the reference de-
partment. Here is where all Whining
ton goes to have its questions answered.
No effort is spared to make the collec-
tion Of reference books as good as can
be expected from "A library of this size.
During the past year there have been
added the following books, all Of which
add much to the usefulness Of the refer
ence department:

LESS FOR HATS
MORE FOR CHURCH
DR.. Adams Says SIS Bonnet
and 81 Church COntribu-
tiOn Inconsistent

Hardly a seat was left vacant last
night in the auditorium Of the Second
Baptist Church, at the closing meeting
OF the fortnight of evangelistic SER
vices. The services have been very
successful. and a number of members
viii be added TO the church as a direct
result of the special effort.
The preacher last night was the Rev.
Clarence A. Adams. d. d.. of Blockley
Church, Philadelphia. DR.. Adams, in
opening his address. paid tribute to
the Rev. T. p. Holloway, pastor Of the
Second Church, for his work for the
church.
Or. Adams spoke on the text "Such
as l have, give / thee He said the
poor man was he who had nothing but
money. the rich man was he who had
sympathy and imperishable ideas. In
these times he said. we need more
faith in the gifts the church can bestow
upon MS. How much good every church
Of every denomination could do, de-
clared the speaker. IL every member
could realize his power in Christ and
ceased TO bury his talent.
Every man has different power to
consecrate, the speaker said Young
Christians, he thought should be
taught TO give generously; S25 Easter
hat and a 81 contribution were incon-
sistent, he thought. A man who bought
his wife a 25-cent bonnet. and himself
fine silk hat would have hard work
convincing the little woman that he
loved her even if he went about sing
ing "I Love My Mary Ann" all day
Yet Christians do just that. said DR..
Adams.
Culture for cultures sake is as much
a waste as a fortune piled up and
locked in a safe. A man that finds an
end in himself is like the Dead Sea,
dead because it has no outlet, Mr.
Adams said.
The battle Of the church. said the
speaker. must be won not by a few
champions, but by the help Of all its
members. He said the resources Of
spiritual help at the command Of MEM
bers Of the church impose RESPONSE

ROADS NOW GOOD
FOR AUTO TRIPS
HIGHWAYS IN THIS VICINITY
ARE AT THEIR BEST AND AU-
ToMo5ILIsTs ARE TAKING AID
VANTAGE or THEIR SMOOTH
NESS FOR LONG DRIVES.

This lis the best time to take ad.
vantage of the good roads of North
Dakota and Minnesota" said a well
known automobile driver today In
speaking of the motoring situation In
the northwest.
Lack Of rain for some time has re-
moved all traces of gumbo and every
motorist will find the northwestern
roads at their best as far as smooth
mess and speed are concerned There
are no rocky roads to be found at this
season of the year any place and the
farmers themselves, who are rapidly
becoming enthusiastic automobiles,
are taking good deal of trouble to
fill the rut holes and knock off the
high bumps.
At this season of the year a great
deal of rare beauty is to be found
along the motor driven roads. All the
roads Astounding with trees are most
beautiful, as jack frost has already
nipped the leaves and they are turn
ing to luster yellow or deep red,
making the foliage most brilliant
spectacle.
Among the beautiful roads out of
Fargo it would be hard for one to
find any prettier than the road to
Comstock, MINI. This road is a
smooth stretch of country and winds
in and out around the Red river. A
new view now here, then there, COM
Ing from the banks of the river makes
a drive along this road a most gor-
geous one.
OF the close rivals to the Comstock
road, the drive to Georgetown, Mimi
probably leads all others. This road
also winds around the bends Of a river
and all along the road sides the mo-
torist finds an abundance of trees.
Casselton Road Is Good
For a short drive the road to Cas-
selton is always in good condition
while the trip around to Detroit is
never lacking In condition, speed or
grandeur of beauty, as this famous
lake region is noted for its beauty.
The drive to the oldest town in the
e-Abercrombie-i one not to be
despised and can generally be found
in excellent condition.
Of the long drives the one to the
twin cities is especially good. The
roads between Fargo and Minneapolis
are in such excellent condition now,
that motorists who have recently
made the trip claim to have done it
easily in twelve hours A like record
for the time is being set for the drive
to Winnipeg which is some twenty
miles farther but it is said that the
roads between the two cities is some
better that those between Fargo and
Minneapolis. Duluth is another good |
drive if a motorist wishes to take his |
lunch swith him.
good deal of the improving OF |
roads has been done with king drag
and this instrument is largely respon- |
sible for the TACT that the Fargo motor |
can go at fifty mile an |
hour clip ever the North Dakota ard
roads.
