tanned may take an appeal to the cir
cult court for further consideration

cant he may appeal to the circuit

MED he shall not be permitted to make

Great Increase in Books

TRAVELLING LIBRARIES POPULAR

That a vast growth in interest in

deduction gathered from report is
sued by the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, which shows that 609
communities were served with travel
ing Libraries in the fiscal year l911-
1912, as compared with 395 commune

Guided 179 new and resumed stations.
Over 1000 requests for books were
filed.
The state travelling libraries, which
are small collections of books sent
from the office of the commission in
the capitol to various communities all
over the state, contained at last re-
port 7,S49 volumes. Thirty volume Ii
braries are sent to isolated hamlets in
Northern Wisconsin; the ffty-fv
volume libraries are sent to the regular
stations of average size. They are
kept for six months and then return
ed to Madison in exchange for another
box, The only expense is freight
charges. Smaller public libraries hav-
ing inadequate book funds may rent

Of six hundred and forty inmates. OF
this number mole than forty were
from Kenosha county.
The last patient TO be sent from Ke-
nosha county reached the institution
Just two days before the general quar-
antine was ordered. 1t is declared
that there is no cause for alarm among
the friends of patients at the institu-
ton as it is said that the people suf-
fering from the disease are receiving
the care of physicians expert in the
handling of small pox and kindred
diseases. Every possible effort is be-
ing made to confine the disease and
patients suffering from it have been
isolated from The other patients in the
hospital. The board gives no sugges-
ton as to the time that will be taken
up in the eradication of the disease,
but it is stated that as soon as the
hospital is free from infection that
all patients sent from the various coun-
ties to the state hospital at Winnebago
win be transferred to the Mendoza
Hospital.
This is the second epidemc at Men
dota in as many years. On account of
large number of cases of diphtheria
at the hospital last year it was closed
for the admission of patients for sew
eral months. No deaths were report
ed from that epidemic and it is thought
that the officials viii be as successful
in handling the small pox epidemic.

The auto owner who is taken in by
the police for failure to provide him
self with the new license number can
not complain that he has been unfair
y treated. Sixty days leeway after
a rule is supposed to be enforced is
enough to bar any charges of hasty
action against the police. Most of
the failures to pay the license fees
are due to plain carelessness and not
to any effort to avoid payment. The
