SHALL THE LIBRARY
BE KEPT ALIVE %

That Is the question j. J. Gerig.
president of the Ocala Library Asso-
citation. asks. In a word its income is
short of it's current expenses. and that
income is purely by voluntary contri-
button. Limited as its field of useful
ness it, ii has worked for the good Of
the citizens of the city. The high
school children have received enough
benefit from it's shelves to insist it
shall live. One hundred people in
Ocala who will give a dollar a year
will permit it to exist: two hundred
people who will give a dollar each will
give 1t better hold on life and
better circulation. Its expenses are
the rent and the magazines to make
its tables attractive to those who de-
sire current literature. More money
would materially add TO the usefulness
OF the library. We believe there are
enough people in Ocala to keep the Ii
brary going and we believe senti-
ment can be created by the proper
committee to make for Ocala public
library worthy of the name. Several
years ago there was talk of a Carnegie
library. petition was circulated and
the ma jority of the property owners of
the city signed the same, saying they
were willing to be taken to maintain
the institution. Then Mr.. earn was
sent TO Tallahassee to have Il law
passed empowering the city to levy
tax for the maintenance of such an
institution. an institution that has es
tablished itself all over the land and
80 grown into the hearts of the peO-
pie that ii has become a fixture, as
much so as the public school: in fact,
they are hand maids in fostering the
acquisition Of information and intel
ligence and wherever YOU find public
the public library, for the one demands
the presence of the other. Now. Ocala
has so felt the want of a place to be
entertained that it's people gave their
money to erect a very credltable
theater Theaters have their place in
the life of a community and that place
is better served if the plays are Of a
wholesome and inspiring chara cter.
The interests Of the theater are sub
served by the greater intelligence OF
it's citizens. The more intelligent the
greater their discrimination. Libraries
promote taste and culture. A cultured
people are better citizens than those
who do not enjoy that taste and dis
tinction. Then let Ocala see to it that
a better one built up. Let President
Gerig stand by his post and call on the
people of Ocala to rally to his assist
ance. If the clarion note is struck we
are certain he will not appeal in vain

COUNTY BOARDS SPECIAL SESSION
To Receive Report of Committee on the
Affairs Of Asylum and Home.

The Iowa County Board convened il
special session at p. m. on Tuesday
at Dodgevile, to receive and consider
the findings of the committee appointed
to investigate affairs and audit accounts
of the county asylum and county home.
The committee consisted of A. q. Roe
the of Highland, W. j. Penhallegon of
Mineral Point and A. f. Thomas of
Cobb. The investigating extended over
a period of twenty-three years and re-
CURED the major part of four weeks.
While the members of the committee
aimed to be strictly mum as to what
was being uncovered, enough had leaked
out to arouse the citizens of the county
to look for something sensational. The
report proves that the anticipation had
some foundation.
Space will not permit giving the re-
port in full, as it consists of ten large
pages of printed matter Opening and
closing paragraphs read as follows:
In making thoroughly exhaustive
examination of all records obtainable
we found so many serious discrepancies
as to preclude the possibility of making
a complete financial statement of the
institutions.
The findings of this committee are
correct according to the records, and
we insist those responsible for such
shortages make full restitution.
"Your committee is of the opinion
that prices paid for many items charged
to the county are exorbitant and un-
reasonable and not properly chargeable
to such charitable institutions, and, which
has been admitted, were intended for
personal use
Both the trustees, past and present, |
and the superintendent serving this in
stieution from its inception, are morally |
and legally responsible for methods in
stituted and practices INDUCED in. That
the trustees were and are honest men
we doubt not, but it is such loose cler-
ical methods as theirs that make it
possible for great wrong to be foisted
upon the people"

Junior Day exercises proved 20 be
very interesting. The High School room
was crowded with interested and appre-
ciative listeners. Proceeds Of the eve
ming were S34. 35 which will help in the
matter Of expense connected with the
closing Of the years work, and possibly
help some on the ever-present but grad
ually diminishing debt.
We expect Blanchardyille High School

basket ball. Watch for posters.
The Southern Wisconsin Teachers
association holds its annual convention
at Platteville March II and u. There

z Examining Committee Finds Iowa Coun-
~ Bank in Excellent Condition.

We, the undersigned examining com
mittee appointed in compliance with
Section Ten, Chapter Two, Banking
Laws of 1903, made a careful examina-
ton Of the affairs and conditions of the
Iowa County Bank as required by law
and we beg to announce that we found
the bank in a most excellent condition.
We first went over the loans and dis
counts and examined carefully and
thoroughly the notes, mortgages and
securities of every kind and we could
not find poor loan or loan of doubt
full validity in the bank. All of the
banks loans are good.
We counted all of the cash on hand
and checked up the amount due from
other banks. We checked up also the
deposits subject to check, the amount
of the outstanding certificates Of depos-
it and the cashiers checks and found
the same correct.
We devoted considerable time 70 an
examination of the bank and we are
convinced that the banks condition is
healthy, prosperous and absolutely
sound. This report is made for the in
formation of directors, stockholders
and depostors Of the bank.
