This library continued to operate un-

activity, the books were advertised for
sale and the library was reorganized
and incorporated.
The books were purchased at very
reasonable prices considering the time
of the purchase and it was hoped to
increase the stock by a slight tax
which was 80 cents per annum on
each share in 1927, At that time
three dollars year was charged for

Germs of the Young Mems Library as
ISOLATION be put under the management
Of the city authorities and the library
changed into a City Circulating Ii
brary-" Again the Palladium stepped
forward with advice as to the hand
ling OF the situation and suggested
that as there were about 500 volumes
in the library at that time, sufficient
to form nucleus for larger institu-
ton, a slight tax be levied every year,
say ten cents on the 800 valuation,
and thus build up one of the best Sc
lected Libraries in the state. Later
this advice seems to have been carried

New Library Launched.
The next agitation in library circles
came up in 1856, when a literary and
scientific society was formed in order
to secure a share Of the Mcclure fund.
At the same time it was announced
that a township library had been form
ed under the Mills law. This new in
stitution was opened in the third story
of the old Wiggans building where
Bricks Harness store now stands, and
was only open on Saturdays from 9
O'Clock in the morning until 3 in the
afternoon. 1t was the complaint of
the inconvenient location and hours
that perhaps suggested the building of
the MORRISON library.

when, by special act OF the legis la

Under this rule the library prosperd

In some cases the hogs treated were
so far gone that kick from q heavy

hoof rot recovered also.

tenth the cost of serum.

Prof. H. c. Cadet, is known As gly-i

common name of Benetol. The origi-

BY gettin gallon for $500. which
