LIBRA RES.
By George Fitch

A library is cold storage warehouse for knowledge. After knowledge has first been canned in books it is then placed on li- brary shelves, where it can be gotten at any hour of the day by a tall young lady with spcctacles, for the benefit of the public. It is great comfort to know that wisdom is immortal. and that ev- en though the man who produces a thrObbing thought may forget it and afterwards be run over by a taXicab while begging for his dinner, his immortal words will
 sleep forever on some library shelf.
 Libraries are pl"asant sunny places. lined with rows of books, and are rarely ONer-croWded. This is one of their finest fea- lures. No one ever had his toes trampled on while trying to get into a public library. \" lives have been lost by panic-stricken moI,S, fighting to get out of a public library. Libraries have burned down, it is true, but he seed hing attendance inside al-

A MINING EDITION.

The PruSpccsor Publishing Company has decided to issue a Special Mining Edition of the Valdez Miner if the business men and mining operators will support the project. The purpose would be to make public the amount of work being done about Valdez in the way of opening up the mineral resources and also to inform mining men in the states of the amount and the result of the work already done in this section.
 This issue will be a success or failure largely as the business men decide. Without their CO., operation it will be impossible. With half-heartcd aid the result will be but indifferent. but with the whole-Suuled assistance of the businessmen and operators it will be a credit to the town and an aid to the future development of the Prince William sound dis district.

Seeing the Country.

The man who holds a puDllc job has little peace OF pleasures: the papers say he is a slOb, and roast him without measure. And then the uplift magazines get on his trail and hound him, until he leaves for other scenes, his rec ord wrapped around him. So let me raise my garden sass, remote from public clamor. and saw my wood and now my grass, and nail things with a hammer. Oh, let me cultivate the soil, no laurel wreaths demanding, for there's a peace in humble toll that paSSrth understanding. When l am dead no marble shaft will make my fame eternal, as shafts will stand OCT old Bill Taft and Woodrow and the Colonel: Pll mildly play my lowly game, with never noise or hustle; 1 cannot hope for last ing fame, like that of Pastor Rus sell.

ways puts on it's hat and walks cut without harm.
 Tee. le seem satisfied to know that all the wisdom ever produce ed ;s safely stored in the librar- ies and do not insist on going and seeing for themselves. It is a great comfort for a man to re- laliZe, as he walks into the mov- ing picture theatcr, that no mat ter if he should forget all he knew he would learn it over again by going to a library and draw ing out an arInful of books.
 Libraries were once very rare and infrrquent. Only the big cit ies had them. Nowadays the town of 2.OO0 people which hasn't a library is viewed with suspicion by it's ncighbOrs. Libraries are of two kinds-Carnrgic and home built. About twenty years ago Andrew Carnegie started on the task of speaking Inc map of the United States With libraries, and built many hundreds, to the in- tense disgust of the enterprising towns which had just finished paying for their own buildings.

ONE REASON FOR DEAR MEAT

Apparently it doesnt t pay to eat veal. The ultimate cost is too high, for each veal killed means a potential beef put out of exist ence.
 The year book just issued by inc Chicago packers shows that 8,O0O,00O calves, having an av- craze weight of 70 pounds, were s:..augtered in this country in 1911. If those animals had been per- mitted to live until one year old they would have produced an aN- erag of 600 pounds of beef. We got 56O, ,O0O.O0O pounds of veal where we might have obtained i,- 800 O,OOO. .OOO pounds of beef. That was a clear waste. so far as food supply goes,' 'or more than 10 pounds per capita in one year. The importance Of that waste should not be overloaded when we are considering the question nf the high cost of meat.
 The loss in beef we might have obtained had the calves been kill ed when year old instead of at the age of a few weeks, is not all. The slaughter of such a large number of them has a serious ef- feet on the meat supply for all time because il tends to prevent the rest Ock ing of our depleted herds. Argentina has law. and Argentina is one of the worlds s great hcef-producing countries, tu prevent the killing of any heif- CT OF COW under the age of six years. That inSureS Breeding stock to prevent the cutting down of the supply of meal. Some leg islation along similar lines should be enacted in this country. if we would improve the condlt ions of supply and demand in regard to beef
