+ The dIturaI Extension Divi-
sion, knowing that many Of the far

has made arrangements with the

sion, st. Paul, to fix up free trav-
elling library consisting of twenty

We wish that every club In the
state would get one Of these librar-
les as we feel that even if d club
does not follow our outlined timely
topics they need the library just as
badly. This library also can be had
in connection with one of thenty-
five books on general reading for a
fee of St.00 for the. two. Both can
be retained for a year if desired.
Some member of the club can be ap-
pointed as librarian and keep the
books at the central meeting place,
the school building or his home
from which all members can get the
books.
No club can say that it is too
much trouble to get these books or
that it costs too much as all that. is
necessary to get one of these lIbrar-
les is to write to the Minnesota Pub
lie Library Commission for an ap-
plication blank and circulars on the
Farmers Club Library, fill out the
blank and return it with fifty cents
or one dollar, depending on whether
the club wishes the agricultural
books or the agricultural books and
the general reading combined. The
books will come to you freight pre-
paid and all you need To- do in send
ing it back is to close the box, take
it to the depot and the thing is done
The club. gets the. use of $50 or SIS
worth of books for year for dol
lar. Gould it ask for anything more?
If any member of a club wishes
any book which is not in the travel
7 ing Library but is given in the list OF
books sent out by the Library COM
mission, he can get it by having a
member of some school board sign
his application and the applicant
paying the postage both ways.
! Any club wishing one of these Ii
braries had best send to the Minnie
