Have you ever visited the FupIpc
Library and have you ever given a
thought to the faithfulness OF the
Library Committee who never fall
to open the Library three afternoons
each week, ON Mondays from till 8,
Wednesdays to 8, and ON Saturdays
from $3.50 to s O'Clock with no otn-
eY reward save the Joy in service to
others?
The library is making a steady
growth as 1t has done from the be-
ginning. The committee add new
books from time to time and if you
know of a good book that is not in
the collection, tell the committee OF
1t. Fifty-five dollars worth Of books
have recently been purchased. TWEEN
ty-five dollars of the above money
was sent to the club from a ladies'
club in Monroe, Wisconsin, and the
Children's Hour in ten volumes is
the set selected to the great delight
of the children and below are the
names of the ladies making the gen.
erous gift: Mrs. A. F. Rote, Mrs.
Martha Relf, Mrs. Henry Ludlow,
Mrs. c. w. Twining, the latter now

books than now appears. When the
library was in it's infancy many

the railroads gave free transporta ton

G. F. Johnson and Mr.. H. e. Dunn in
forwarding the donation.
