each from the Kansas Travelling Lii
brary commission at Topeka. The

at this time to Ctfer greater variety
Of reference works to the members Of
the ladies reading clubs In Chanute
which are studying art subjects this
winter. The volumes Of fiction are
secured to supplement the supply Of
recent books Of which the library has
but single copy and for which there
is larger demand. This is the first
time s'nce last winter that any books
have been borrowed from the state
library. Similar shipments of books
are sent from Topeka to schools and
other educational organizations that
may submit request for such loans.

Consider Fuel Other Than Gas for the
Electric Light Plant

and report on Friday night. The
committee was also asked to con-
slider Bideau's suggestion that oil be
used as fuel at the electric light
plant.
Hedeen also reported that the
lights in the alleys back of the bust
ness houses were waiting for receipt
of additional material. He asked
for the authority of the council for
the purchase of new valve for the
electric light plant to cost $50. He
stated that the present kind used
cost but ST. but wore out rapidly
and was more expensiveln in reality
than the higher priced article. The
latter also would be economical in
its use of the compound. Upon
motion of Hays the purchasing
committee was authorized to secure
the needed valve.
The Chanute times., 1911-11-10

"For the information of the
council l would say that charging
the electric light plant at the rate of
IS cents per thousand cubic feet for
the gas used, 1t would be cheaper for
the city for the plant to return to
the use of coal for fuel" said chair
man Hedeen of the light committee
Monday night. He submitted S776
as the value of the gas used in
October. The coal required for a
month was estimated at 1877 tons
which at So a ton and allowing $50
month for two fireman needed if
coal was used at the plant would
mean still a saving of Saga month
to the city. Upon motion of
Nation and Johnson the proposition
was referred to the entire electric
light committee for consideration

to be in school this week because
of lack of clothing. Mr.. Robin

Salvation Army would be glad to
collect and pass on to those who
need. In regard to sickness the

OCTOBER WAS AN AVERAGE MONTH

The mean temperature for the
month of October 1911 in Chanute
was So degrees according to the
weather bureau records kept by
Chase w. Brown. The maximum
was 90 degrees on the 3rd and the
minimum was 2o degrees on the
22nd. The range of temperature
was rather considerable as compared
with that noted by H. P. Cady at
the University of Kansas at
Lawrence whose record continues
that of the late DR.. F. H. Snow
from 1868 to 1908. The mean
temperature at Lawrence was 54.76
degrees which is 1.48 degrees be-
low the October average. The
highest temperature there was "a. S
degrees on the 1st and the lowest
was only 3a.5 degrees which was
not reached until the 27th.
In the rainfall the Chanute record
larger than that of Lawrence
which was 1853 inches as compared
with I.o6 inches here. The
Lawrence rainfall was las inches
below the October average though
rain fell in measurable quantities
there on % days as against 8 days
here. The method of reporting the
extent of cloudiness is sufficiently
different at the two points as to
offer no basis for intelligent COM
parison. The data for Lawrence
indicates that October was some
what colder cloudier and more
humid than usual but no records
were broken.

ATTENDED 0. A. R. MEETING

Mrs. Chester Van Doren has

tion which was held at Newton last
week. None of the Chanute chapter
were able to attend but Mrs
Van Doren reports such an interest.
ing meeting that 1t is probable that
several of the ladies will attend next
years meeting especially II IL is held
in Fredonia as now seems possible.
Mrs. Van Doren has been treasurer
of the organization and was reelected
for another year as were the other
officers. The first social event Of the
conference was the reception given
the visitors in the Masonic temple by
the Newton chapter and prominent
citizens of thai city. A delightful
program was given In addition to the
forming of the acquaintance between
the delegates and their hosts. A
business session was held Thursday
morning when reports were given
by the officers. A new chapter with
SO charter members was reported at
Fort Scott. Mrs. T. A. Cordry of
Parsons, who ably assists her husband
in editing the Sun in that city, gave
an interesting report as state histoI-
ian. She called attention to the fact
during the II years existence of the
Kansas daughters they had done
something besides hunt up ancestors.
She mentioned the share they had In
placing SO markers along the Santa
Fe trail through Kansas, and they
made the donation toward a fund to
be used for the saving Of Pawnee
Rock. Every chapter has moreover
fostered true patriotism by giving
prizes for history grades and essays
on historical subjects. The Fredonia
chapter secured the flag for the
largest increase in membership dur
ing the year.
The banquet was fitting close to
the entertainment provided by New
ton for the visitors. 1t was served 10
the Harvey eatirg house. The place
cards were little white army tents on
plots of green with tiny flag floating
from the reik. The unique table
decorations were designed by Miss
Helen Hosington. The center piece
of each of the eight tables was a
perfect miniature copy in relief of
some noted picture of prominent
historical events in the Revolutionary
war. The ladies were seated as
nearly as possible at the table con-
tanning the picture representing the
battle at which their ancestors dis
tiuguished themselves,
