CoIOuize the Marin

The purple martin is the largest, as
it is one of the most beautiful of the
seven species belonging to the swallow
trib4 found within the United States.
Only three other varieties have aban-
doned building their nests in cliffs,
cantles, etc, to boxes and houses
erected by their humane friends.
Every effort should be made to in
crease the number of colonies of this
very useful bird.
The purple martin is one of the most
beneficial of birds; on a farm it makes
great inroads upon the insect population
living entirely upon winged insects;
thousands of these insects are captured
daily in the vicinity of a thriving
colony. Three-fourths Of their food
consists of wasps, bugs and beetles.
The beetles include several species of
harmful weevils. Besides these there
are many crane flies, moths, May flies
and dragon flies.
Their industry and tirelessness are
wonderful, and during the day it is
rare to see them rest for any length Of
time.

ohes While to go, simply to see what
'ie High School has been doing for
itself in the way of building up a
permanent and useful library.
"A separate room opposite the study
nall mas been given over to the use
Oh the library and this has been fitted
up so that a real library exists.
ohelVes, corresponding with the wood
work of the room, extend all the
way around the wall. New library
chairs were given last year by the
Board and new librarians table and
CHAIR have been added. Next year the
Manual Training boys are planning to
make solid library tables to match the
other furniture. With ported plants
artlstlcally arranged, busts on the
cases and few good pictures on the
wall the little room presents a pleas
ing appearance.
On the shelves are something like
1000 volumes, and these are carefully
and accurately arranged and catalog-
ued according to the Dewey decimal
system, the system that is employed
in practically all the colleges and city
libraries in the United States. Each
teacher has a special shelf on which
ne may place those books to which
he wishes especially to refer his
students.
The library is kept by several
students during the different intervals
OF the day and the honor system pre-
walls there. That the room is full
every period of the day attests the in
terest the student-body takes in it's
library and they are there to work
not to waste their time. Records that
have been kept show that about 1900
references have been made to the dit.
ferent volumes in two months.
Too much credit cannot be given to
Mr.. T. o. Brooks, who has taken
charge of this activity of the school
He has been untiring in his efforts
to improve the library and he prom
ises if given support to make our High
School Library the best High School
Library in the State.

JUSTICE IS NAMED
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Supreme Court Justice Celebrates the
Twentieth Year of His Appoint
meDt to the Bench.


Washington, Feb. 19.-Chief Justice
White today observed the twentieth
anniversary Of his services on the Su-
preme Court bench. The twentieth
anniversary of his services on the
bench will not occur until March u.
The anniversary recalled the bitter
contest which preceded Chief Justice
Whites appointment as an associate
justice. Two selections by President
Cleveland had proved unsatisfactory
to the Senate. The President solved
the problem by choosing a member of
the Senate-Edward Douglas White of
Louisiana. His nomination was con-
firmed without delay.
The chief justice has many years
to serve before he approaches the
record for long service in the court
as Chief Justice Marshall and JUS
tees Field and Harlan are credited
with more than thirty-three years
service each.
