have an equal chance for mental
development.
To meet this condition and give all a
fair show bill was drafted to be pre-
sented to the coming legislature to
authorize a commission to arrange for
extending library privileges to country
jewellers. The state already has a
state library at Pierre, books from
which might with advantage be avail
able for the use of interested persons
anywhere in the state. The bill pro-
poses to unity all the library activities
of the state and to add to existing
activities the travelling library. This
means that it will be possible for
individuals or groups of individuals to
get the use of books singly or in col
lections for several months and when
one collection has been exhausted to be
supplied with another. 1t is a sort of
extension of rural free delivery. 1t
may benefit small village libraries
already established. This work may
be accomplished all from the capital or
by the establishment of local centers
from which the distribution may be
made.
The fundamental underlying principle
is equal privileges to all. The dweller
in the country experiences sufficient
privations of social nature, and it is
only bare justice that every unneces-
sary inequality should be removed so
that the men, women and children
remote from town may not be without
good books to read. Interview your
representatives and senator and see
that these men know that you want
them to vote for books for all

High Cost of Living

Has made its impression upon the
Webster BARRIERS and they have decided
to increase their prices to be in unison
with everything else and have conse-
quently put the price of hair cuts and
honing of razors to tLirty-five cents.
We believe the general public will
realize that our tonsorial artists are
asking no more now than is what is
justly due them and that there will be
no strenuous objection to the raise.

NOW IN ARKANSAS
THE WEBSTER NEWS
Au Interesting Letter from Mrs.
Compton Tells All About Hot
Springs and the Arkansas
People-Ox Teams Are
Still in Use There
Hot Springs, Ark, Dec. 9, l9l

not Springs, Ark, DOC. y, lSlZ.
Dear Mrs. Denton:
Mr.. Compton wrote to Mr.. Denton to
send the Reporter and Farmer to our
address which was Menomone, Wiscon-
sin, at that time. But we have been
unable to get it as yet. So thought
would write to you and have you see
that it was sent here as we are getting
lonesome to read the good old Reporter
and Farmer and hear of the doings of
our friends in the home town which will
always be dear to me.
Hot Springs is a very pretty little city
lying in gulch between the mountains.
The famous springs rush out from
between the crevices of the rocks at
almost boiling temperature. There
are numerous cold water springs con-
tanning sulphur, iron, alum, arsenic, etc.
Hundred of people are coming every
day to test the healing qualities of this
water by bathing and drinking. | can
not speak for its qualifications to being
good or bad as we have not been here
long enough.
We are very pleasantly located at the
Walker, l29 Hickory street, which is
very slightly place being quite high up
the mountain side. The people here
seem to be very nice and accommodate
ing but don't like the color of quite
number-too many coons. But at that
they are all right. especially if one tips
them to quarter once in while. Liv-
ing is little higher here than in Web.
ster. Hotel rates are about the same
as in Minneapolis.
The weather is nice and warm here.
Flowers are in full bloom and that is
about all that will bloom for the soil is
so blamed poor that it wont grow much
of anything, except scrub timber which
seems to be the staple production when
cut into cord wood. This seems to grow
best on the mountain sides.
Arkansas horses don't resemble the
fat, slick wheat. teams of good old South
Dakota. You would sure laugh to see
the long-haired cord wood teamsters
coming in here with their poor, old,
horses and rope harness. The OK team
is still in use here but this doesn't take
with US very much as we went through
the OK team days in South Dakota,
which has brought something better for
her people but l don't see how this
country ever can. Still there are many
beauties and good things here that !
might write about were it not for wor
rying you with my lengthy and uninter-
esting letter.
Close with good wishes toward your
self and family and the of Webste: in
general. Mrs. c. H. Compton,
l29 Hickort Street,
Hot Springy, Arkansas.
P. S.-Please send me the three back
numbers of the Reporter and Farmer
by return mail and oblige, Mrs. C. H. Z.
1.-THE Reporter and Farmer was sent
the first week to the address given us
by Mr.. Compton but he gave no box or
street number. Upon receipt of his
card we mailed copies of the paper for
each of two weeks. We then upon the
receipt of the last letter mailed copies
of all issues since their departure. That
they have not received the paper is no
fault of this Office.
