INTEREST IN LIBRARY
CONTEST GROWS FAST
Important Suggestions to Voters by Contest
Man---The Voting Fast and Furious---
New Voting Place Added.

AT the outsst of today's article we
wish 60 again call attention to the
two new voting places added to the
contest, the FIRST being DR.. Bernard
Teidman. We desire to impress
upon readers that the dental vote,
We know from past experience, will
prove very consequential and con-
tribute literally to the outcome.
When you want the expert services
OF q ma In this profession, from the
extracting of Il tooth to the most in
tricate bridge work, the Contest
Dentist is highly qualified to perform
these services. Second, we wish
again to refer to the Raritan Steam
and Hand Laundry. The feature
that compels the laundry vote to be
enticing Ia the fact that the bundle
slip that you receive with the deliv-
cry Is redeemab1e for votes upon.
presentation. Just pause and con-
slider what a great reserve vote you
can accumulate If you will get your
entire membership to push this op-
portunity without exception.
It's only a few days ago since the
big contest started on its journey to
March %, and the end Is almost In
sight. Thirteen weeks are only a
little speck on the map Of time, and
within this little speck hangs the
fate of many valiant contestants for
the big library. Within this little
speck fiutters the emotions OF thous-
ands of voters who fairly tremble
In anticipation OF victory, for sue
cess In the big contest carries with
1t the preservation Of a big bunch of
pride and a glorious achievement,
indeed.
1t appears that the winner cannot
hope to land In the first place with
a large maJority, for from the sound
OF the gong last Saturday it appears
to be a neck to neck race among the
first fifteen or twenty, and at no
time should the lead be d~iscouraging
even to the tail enders, for the dark
horse has furnished his surprise
many q time in the big book contest.
It will require q supreme effort on
the part OF the winner to capture the
prize. The battle has reached the
hand to hand struggle point, and
will see the weekly vote grow
and multiply at an astonishing rate
now on.
That Is to be reasonably expected,
'or all the big chiefs are distributing

NORTH POLE Is
OLD STORY NOW
Unless Honor Peary Soon
1t Will be to Late.
by ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, Jan. 5.-ISpecial.l-It
Captain Peary, discoyerer of the north
pole, gets any government recognition
for his achievement he must get II
soon or he will be forgotten. The
bsamour of the great feat has worn of,
and no n seems very much interest
ed In the subject.
No one wants to make use Of the
discovery, and there are no immi-
grants to the newly acquired region
peary acquired 1t for the United
States, you know-and immigration is
what makes a new country and estab-
fishes the d%iscoverer on a high pedes-
tai. The north pole is not Of much
consequence even to the scientific
world.
The Why of Liquor Permits.
In every congress an effort is made
to pass legislation forbidding the Off
GERS Of the United States to issue IL
censes to sell liquor in prohibition
states. Senator Owen OF Oklahoma
has introduced such abiIl, and it has
gone to that tomb Of the Capulets,"
the judiciary committee.
There Is a grave question whether
the United. States can refuse to issue
permission they are permits rather
than licenses-and then prosecute per-
sons who have not taken out such per-
mits. 1t is the theory Of the prohibit
honists that If the United States did
not issue permits to sell liquor In pro-
hibition states the government would
be as relentless In its pursuit OF those
who sold without permits as 1t Is In
sections where permits are given to all
who ask and pay.
The government prosecutes because
1t needs the money, not because it de-
sires to suppress the traffic.
A Nautical Sharp.
Congressman Sharp of Ohio was able
to tell a great many members of the
house something they did not know.
The discussion was about certain In
struments used in the naval hydro
graphic office, and the question arose
as to what a micrometer was. 1t turn
ed out to be something very useful In
locating distant stars and suns which
establish time.
Then the interesting discovery was
made that the nautical almanac--a
book, by the way-was pub |
ished six months In advance Of it's
late.

PROPAGATING PLANTS BY LAYERING

satisfactory method of multiplying
woody plantsl which do not readily take
root from cuttings. There are several
methods of layering.
TIP LAYERING.-The tip of a branch
or cane is bent down to the ground and
slightly covered with soil when it will
throw out roots and devlop new plant.
Many plants may be propagated in this
way
VINE LAYERING.-A vine is stretched
along the ground and buried throughout
its entire length in a shallow trench. or
it may be covered in certain places. leav-
ing the remaining portions exposed.
Roots will be put forth at intervals and
branches thrown up. Later the vine may
be cut between these, leaving a number
of Independent plants. The grape can be
easily propagated in this way.
MOUND LAYERING.-Plants which
stool sending up a large number of stems
or shoots from a single root, are often
layered by mounding up the earth so as
to cover the bases of these stems and
cause them to throw out roots. Each
may then be removed from the original
plant plant is often cut back to the
ground to make it send up a large num-
her of shoots to be layered in this way.
