BESSIE EsATCE4EN HOME,
AFTER GOOD SEASON
Wins Nine Races Out Of Ten

Bessie Patchen, the pride of local
sportsmen. has returned home at
Maplehurst Farm C. II. LaftertyJ
for the winter. Her first season out
under the care and driving Of
Clarke Mctarns has won her the
title Of Princess of the Turf.
McCarns really found the sporty
young PAGER and every race has
created surprise and won admira-
ton. Entering into 10 races, she
has come in first in 9 Of them bring
ing the ribbon and the money. In
her last race at Richmond she won
easily, the $4,000 purse. Many
residents here remember the bay
beauty on our speedway during the
sleighing carnivals. With the mar
velously clever brushes shown here,
it was seriously questioned whether
she would make good facing the
wire. The season just passed has
proved her true.
Mr.. Lafferty, her owner, and
McCarns, driver, are rightfully
proud and friends are loud in
praise Of the victories won.

THE PUBLIC WANTS TO KNOW
Ramble With A Smack Of Reason On The Library
Question Inquiry-How Many Read And What?

COntary to the wishes and the
opinion of Il few, the Public likes
to know all the facts of All institu-
ton which affects the general wei
fare. The Public has the right to
ask for information concerning
any institution, which it supports,
even in a small way.
There is in Newark IA Library ia
the Academy Building. Over the
door of entrance there appears the
following:
NEWARK TOWN LIBRARY.
This institution was founded by
ladies who are members of The
New Century Club. 1t has been
brought to its present standing
through their efforts. 1t is now
managed by them. Its relation to
the public, its policy is dictated by
them solely. Their efforts and sue
cess are to be commended. With
out the attention and energy here
displayed, it is probable that we
would be without a Town Library
Of any description. This, however,
may be disputed as some there are
who think that had not the sub
scription library been here, we
would have established ere this a
Free Library-a Town Library i'll
fact as well as in name.
BE that as it may, we stand ever
ready to commend heartily those
who have made possible the pre-
sent Library. They are deserving
of much credit. With the means at
hand, their success shows enthus-
iasm and energy is commendable.
The point we wish to bring out is
this: The institution is not, in its
fullest sense, a Town Library. The
words over the entrance are mis-
leading. Yet, granting credit to
the ladies under whose manage
ment this Library has its life, II
has received support from the
Town. Entertainments and those
Carnivals, supported by gener.
Gus public, brought to the Treasury
snug sum. This fund now invest
ed. we understand, helps in a small
way to support this Town Library
Yet, now fairly, is it Town Lib
rary?
By making it a Free Library IL
real fact, we could by an insignifi
cant increase in taxes, secure State
