Address Delivered By Mr.. R.
c. RingWaIt At Y. N. c. A.
On what To Read And How
To Read"
Urges Audience To Read
Local Newspapers

The address Sunday afternoon by
Mr.. r. G. Ringwalt was a most ex-
cellent handling of the topic what
To Read and How to Read" Mr.. Ring.
walt called upon his hearers to spend
more time in reading and to read
higher class of matter-urging that
in this way they would broaden them
selves and better prepare for citizen
ship. Where there is not reading
there is stagnation, viciousness and
prejudice, however, these conditions
do not prevail in Mt. Vernon. 1t was
urged that to be well informed there
should be at least 10 hours a week
spent in reading. The daily news
paper, both local and state, should be
read by every body. 1t was urged
that the local newspaper is the me-
dunn for keeping important local is
sues before the people and for this
reason it was thought they should give
more discussion of civic and commun-
ity questions.
The next division is magazines.
There should be a goodly portion of
time spent upon magazines, but not
upon suory or fiction publications as
there is no class of reading that is so
unworthwhile as magazines of this
character. They are full OF unsyste-
matte matter that is not usuable.
Magazines that have TO do with re-
view OF current topics such as The
OUTLOOK, Scribner's, Bookman. Worlds
Work, or Review of Reviews are well
worth considerable of time.
The next division is books. Six hours
week can profitably be spent upon
books. There is entirely too much
time spent upon fiction, not that there
is not much good in fiction however.
Serious books, by great men, such as
essays, travel, political economy, per-
sonal memoirs, autobiography or per-
sonal recollections are among the best
of reading, and afford a splendid op-
portunity to get acquainted with great
men.
Mrs. Dan Merely, accompanied by
Miss Shireman, furnished splendid
music for the meeting.
On next Sunday Mr.. F. L. Fairchild
will address the meeting upon the top

a. II. Parker, a farmer living three
miles south of the city on Twelfth
avenue. Wednesday afternoon made a
novel find in the shape of baby fox,
which he dug from its nest in the sod
Mr.. Parker was dragging down i
field OF sod ploWed last fall, and was
surprised 20 see an old fox jump out
from a small mound and run scamper-
ing off into the field. The mother did
nor -. for she did not appear tc
ia Inc team or the men.
MI Parker went to his barn for a
spade, thinking that probably within
the mound he would find the old fox 5
young. When he returned, however,
The old fox had again visited her nest,
carried one Of her cubs away. and
probably intended to return for the
other Mr.. Parker began digging, and
after getting into the ground about
three ard one-half feet found one OF
he cubs. probably about two months
old. The little fellow showed his in
stiact for self preservation, and bit and
scral cned in an effort 70 gain his free

in a box. brought it to the city today,
and presented it TO Superintendent

for at Riverview park.
The old fox had made q fine nest
for her little ones. and. in the followed
out place in the sod had placed a full

husks. The skin Of a gray squirrel
showed the mothers efforts to feed her
young, all the meat Of the squirrel hav-

A proposition, which involves the

accepted by the LeGrand town council.
will solve the differences existing be-
tween the town and the railroad re-
garding the depot site, Will be made
some time today to the LeGrand coun-
Gil by Supervisor n. Q. Keen
The proposition was made in writing
to the board OF supervisors by attor-
neys representing the Northwestern
Wednesday. 1t is satisfactory to the
road and to the supervisors.
Offer to Move Depot.
Under the proposition TO compromise
the differences the Northwestern
agrees to move its LeGrand station 800
feet west. and that much nearer the
town. and will furnish the crushed rock
free OF charge to nlacadamize a new
road to the new station site and pay
the town $500 in cash, provided the
town opens the new road TO the new
site and draws in the north boundary
line OF the corporation limits so that
The road opened north of the town will
then be outside OF the town and be

also contingent uron the board Of sup
ervtsors establishing this road as a
county highway as soon as the change
made in the towns boundary puts it
outside Of the town.
Town C!ines to This Road.
The town has been clinging to this
east and west road, apparently using Il
as trading proposition in the nego-
ttat.ons. The Northwestern wants the
road kept open as 1t is the main high
way north OF LeGrand TO Quarry. The
town however, had little II anything
to do with the opening Of this road
The supervisors ordered It established
last fall, thinking that they were OPP
en!nE a county highway. Later 1t was
found this action was not legal, as the
road Is inside the town limits.
The Northwestern refuses to con-
slider moving its station building far
Their west than 500 feet, owing to the
grade and curve which begins at about
that point and extends northwest.
