Ihis settlement has adopted resolu-
ions in favor of extending library
privileges to people in the country.
IN the Prickly Pear valley, adjoin-
ing Helena and simply known as the
NdlitN, there is a community Of
~ranchers that would be directly ben
etlted, as residents of the valley are
IN easy driving distance from Helena
but are now excluded from city
dWellerS' privileges excepting where
they have property in or are residents
OF Helena. Both Unionville and Rim
I'M would come under the same head
of being within easy driving distance.
but now restricted as being outside
city limits. East Helena, the next in
size to Helena, has a small library
but many residents would be glad OF
the extension of library privileges
from the Helena public library, as it
Is rendered convenient through the
electric car service.

ample of this custom appears in
Ophelia's song in Hamlet:
Good morrow, It's st. Valentines
day!
All in morn bctime;
And l, a maid, at your window
To be our valentine.'
Sir Walter Scott in his description
of the "Wooing of the Fair Maid of
Perth, and of his Hal of the Wynde,
gives a description of the English GUS
tom of choosing partners on st. VAL
entine's day. The old saying She
wears her heart on her sleeve comes
from the European custom of drawing
ones valentine. After the drawing
is over each girl wears the love
message she has received pinned to a
red heart on her sleeve. AS the man
whose name was drawn was well
known to the company it seemed like
a sort of parade of ones lover before
the public, hence at present when a
girl shows a decided fondness for a
man she is said ito wear her heart on
her sleeve"
Some of the old valentines are hide
Gus creations, especially as to the COL
oring of the clothing worn. The lady
is invariably dressed in a fiery red
gown to indicate her violent attach
ment for the gentleman to whom the
missive is sent, while the man wears
a yellow Waistcoat and green tie to
indicate his jealousy for the fair one.
Some of the verses on The love mis-
siVes are literary curiosities, the one
given below being a fair sample:
The rose is red, the violet blue,
The pink is sweet, and so are you.
Thou are my love and
| am thine,
j drew thee to be my valentine.
The lot was cast and then | drew,
And fortune said it should be you
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago the
comic valentine was at it's height, but

IN MINNESOTA

FOR tn" past decade in all depart
ments of library work extension has
been the tendency, as is shown by
the opening of the stacks, the with
draWal Of the age limit, the creating
OF children's rooms, the giving Of
more thar one book on a card and
the extending Of library privileges to
the citizens of a county with or with
out an appropriation by that county.
have been asked to tell of the
work lone along this line in Mime
sofa. where since 1904 the city and
town libraries have been reaching out
INTO the country thereby extending
their sphere of usefulness.
The law making county extension in
Minnesota possible is an enabling act,
permitting any board of directors to
contract with the board of county
commissioners Of the county in which
the library is situated or of adjacent
counties, or with the village trustees
or governing body of any neighbour
ing town, city or village, to loan the
books of said library. either singly or
IN travelling libraries, to the residents
OF said county, city or village, upon
Such terms as shall be agreed upon
IN Such contract. All such boards
or officers are hereby empowered to
make contracts for UGH purposes, and
pay out of the county town or vii
lage treasury"
Nine counties have followed this ex-
tension plan with appropriations rang
ing from $500 to $500. Boxes of from
% to so books are sent to the vari-
Gus stations which are located in
poStofflces, general stores, railroad
stations, school houses and private
houses. The books are exchanged
every SIX months, oftener upon re-
quest. and while the lists are made
out by the librarian of the town Ii
nrary every effort is made to supply
DOCKS which are asked for by any
member of the community. Clubs
are supplied With material for their
ciun programs and private families
are given small collections of books
which are circulated around the i'm
mediate neighborhOOd.
Great pains is taken to popularize
THESE little Libraries. Personal visits
are made by the librarian whenever
possible, the minister is asked to
speak OF 1t from the pulpit, the edi-
'or TO mention it in the paper. where
'here is one. and the district teacher

to supplement her school work and
circulate among her pupils.
The librarians grasp every oppor-
tunity to meet the teachers at their
Institutes and by visits to the district
schools. 1t goes without saying that
the county superintendent works land
in hand with the librarian for he real
ICES hat the librarian is only too
glad to help the teacher who in most
cases has a nc opportunity to learn
book selection and so can not choose
wisely even the short lists of books
made possible by state aid. In m
community where there was a nor
NAL class in high school, a course of
six talks was given on library econ
omy, two of which We're on book Sc
lection. Graded lists of books being
made out for first purchase and the
catalogue compiled by the supervisor
of the school libraries marked in ref
erence to the most useful and popular
books.
Most interesting are the accounts of
work done in Lake county in north
ern Minnesota. Among the pioneer
people, living under conditions such
as We read about in southern Minne-
sofa and Wisconsin 40 or SO years ago,
and laboriously digging out the
stumps and clearing their land acre

and trapping belongs to an al
most forgotten period in the thickly
