Good Crops in Audrain.

a representative of the Report
er, while in Audrain county. Mo.
recently, was highly impressed
with the apparent wealth of that
county, says the Stock Reporter Of
East st. Louis. The farmers in
Audrain were late in getting their
corn in this spring. However,
prospects look very fattering for
an average crop just now, es-
pecially on the sloping or rolling
ground. Some corn is thin and un.
even on the fiat ground, but will
make fairly good yield if the
frOsts do not come too early this
fall. The Oat crop was generally
good throughout the county, in
many instances yielding forty and
fOrty-five bushels per acre. TIE
wheat was not so good this year
as usual on account of the very I'm
seasOnable winter. The hay crrp
in many instances, was better thar
usual. The pastures have been eN.
ceptionally good since spring and
in many cases where they have ejnor
been grazed too closely or over,
stocked, the grass is as green ard
tender as in the early spring. THIS
is something very unusual for the
month of August. Taking the
backward season into cOnsidera,
tiOn and other things the farmer
has to contend with during the
busy harvest days, the writer can,
not help thinking the Audrain Co
framer should be an optimist from
George Dawson was arrested
the crown of his intellectual head
to his brawny foot. And they
almost all are, cup to hum. "

LIBRARY ORGANIZER.
She Will Be at the Teachers In
stitute-Audrain Towns
Interested.

We hope to have with us this
week a representative Of the Mis-
souri, Library Commission. Miss
Mary p. Farr, who has recently
been appointed library organizer
Of that body. Miss Farr is a
graduate of the DTexel Institute
library school in Philadelphia and
has had many years experience in
organizing Libraries in different
parts of the L. S. Her duties on
the Commission are to give help t.
all librarians in the state, to e.
tablish free public libraries. and
to advertise the travelling libraries.
which have been doing such eff.
cient work throughout the state.
There are still many communities
to which the libraries are still nm
known and Miss Farr hopes to
bring the travelling library system
to the knowledge of every resident
in the state.
For the benefit of those in tbis
county who may not be familiar
with the system we shall make a
brief explanation. Any library
may be borrowed from the com.
mission upon application of seven
tax payers who shall sign an
agreement that the books shall be
cared for while in their possession
that the library shall be kept I'm a
public place to which all shalt
feel at liberty to come. and shall
be in charge of librarian who
shall be selected by these same tax
payers, and that the books shall b..
free to all. Each community is re-
qulred to pay the freight charges
each way on the books. A library
may be kept three months and the
time may be extended to six
months upon application to the
Commission.
The libraries contain from forty
to fifty carefully selected books.
including history, travel, biogra-
Phy, science, religion. about fifteen
good novels and some children :
books. There are a number of
special libraries, which will be
sent upon request, covering the
subjects of Agriculture. Fruit
Growing, Home Economies. Play
grounds, Missions. A speciaI
library for the Use of preachers
has been prepared. Besides these
the Commission has collections
graded for school libraries from
the lowest grades mp to the high
school and also several libraries
for teachers.
While in Mexico Miss Farr will
make her home with Miss Martha
Spence on East Monroe street and
will be pleased to see any one in
tereSted in the work of the Com. !
mission. She will reach Mexico ON
Thursday and remain with MS I'M
til Saturday and will deliver an
address on the use of the school
library before the County Teach
erS Association. Later she homes
to return to Audrain county toI
visit many of the smaller towns
and will arrange for meetings in
such places, at which the people
may have an opportunity to look
over the lists of books in the
travelling Libraries.
