LIBRARY EXHIBIT
AT COUNTY FAIR
Collection Of the Best Books
to be Shown Outdoors
Next Week

At the county fair to be held next
weak at Gentlemen's Driving Park
the Free Library will, for the first
time, have an exhibit. It viii be
placed in a separate tent about 40 by
% feet which will allow plenty Of
room for the exhibit and for visitors.
The principal object of the Library
in making this exhibit is to provide
a reading room for those who become
tired looking at other exhibits and to
make plain some Of the resources OF
the library.
A small collection Of the best books
in the library will be shelved in the
tent and there will be on file several
popular and technical magazines os
well as the daily papers of Whining
ton, Philadelphia and New York. At
tendants from the library will be on
duty all day to explain the various
phases of the library's activities. They
will make It plain that the resources
Of the library are absolutely free to
every one and those who wish to be-
come borrowers can register at the
tent instead Of at the library.
Many, in the past, have thought that
those Nho become borrowers must
either have property or refer to others
who will guarantee the library
against loss. The attendants will
show that this is not true. Any one
can become a borrower simply by
asking for the privilege.
Various printed lists Of books on
special subjects, such as ma
chinery, aeroplanes, motor boats
painting. paper hanging, roads. poul-
try and farming will be distributed
free to those who are interested. II
will be the effort of the library tc
make the tent homelike and attrac-
tive and it is hoped that many will
visit it,

The Honey and the Flies.

Parkersburg Eclipse: Why is it
that land promoting schemers from
other states camp in Iowa and with
oily tongues endeavor to coax hard
earned cash out of their pockets for
their lands? There is reason enough,
Iowans have money to burn. The fell
lows in other states are anxious to
help us spend it. Some get good re-
suits, others are left holding the
bag. Iowa has sent enough money
away from home, all made here, to
place huge manufacturing plant on
every other section in the state with
enough money left to provide work
ing capital for each one of them.
This may seem n far-fetched. state
perhaps = is. Nevertheless
the money that has been made in
Iowa and sent outside the state for
investment, if ii had been kept here
and invested in manufacturing In
dustries, Iowa cites and towns, the
question that is being asked all over
the country, What is the matter
with Iowa?" would be changed to
Just look at Iowa, the banner state
of the Union" Some day when there
are no more cheap lands to buy,

THE OLD CIDER BARREL.

How dear to my heart is the old
cider barrel,
AS fond recollection presents it to
view;
The place where they kept it corked
up in the cellar
Is fresh in my mind as it ever was,
too.
The damp, whitewashed walls, the
potatoes and turn:ps,
The apples we'd picked when the
weather was fair
How we'll l recall them, how gladly
l fingered
Beside the old barrel deposited
The old cider barrel, the hard cider
barrel,
ing me there.
Once, armed with a gimlet, went to
the barrel
Dear father AMI mother had gone
for the day;
| bored small hole and slipped a
straw through it,
And ceased to be troubled while
sucking away.
found it the source of an exquisite
pleasure
Till things in my fancy seemed
softly to blend,
And / couldn't have told whether |
or the barrel
Was dancing around or still stand
ing on end
The old cider barrel, the lard cider
barrel,
The iron-hooped barrel that stood
upon end.
Somehow ! got out of the old white
washed cellar
And wNoored and h"rrahed and
made merry awhile;
They say that my snodting aroused
all the neighbors,
Who lived in a circle OF less than
a mile.
At last my fond parents come home
from their visit, and
The things that ensued / shall
never forget;
acquired a hatred of hard cider
barrels,
That long has been ranking and
clings to me yet
If all the hard cider were spilled in
in the sewers
I'd look on the waste and be free
from regret.

The New Arithmetic.

My income is thirty-three hundred,
And this is the way it Is spent:
Twelve hundred for eating, drinking
and treating,
And nearly nine hundred for rent ;
For dressing, twelve hundred suffices,
Although that is little bit small,
While servants high portions and
doctors extort ons
Make up, say, thousand in all.
We must go away in the summer,
And that costs eight hundred, let's
say;
Five hundred will measure the
money for pleasure,
Including the opera and play.
And then there's-but just stop a
moment,
Before ! allow for my bets;
I've cited quite clearly six thousand,
or nearly
Well, most of it's paid form
debts!

as a premium with ten acres OF land

ness. You open your farm at In

FLORIDA'S REFORM SCHOOL
DISCUSSED BY W. H. MILTON

Jacksonville, Nov. 1S.-Speaking
before the Florida Conference OF
Charities in this city this afternoon
Hon. W. H. Milton had the follow
ing to say in regard to Florida's In
Gustrial and Reform school, which
institution is located In Mr.. Millions
home town:
II am glad of this opportunity to
say few words relative to the Flor
ida State Reform School, as it and
its work, its aims and its results,
should be better known to the cit!-
zens of Florida.
II have many requests from wild
owed mothers and fathers whose err
ring boys and girls need a stronger
hand than theirs to train and care
for them, for information relative to
the school. There Is not sufficient
knowledge of this public institution,
which in my opinion is doing one OF
the greatest works for Florida of
any of its institutions.
