CIVIC LEAGUE INCORPORATED

The Gazette is requested to publish the
Following statement for the purpose of
clearing away any possible confusion con-
cerning the present status Of the Oroville
Women's Civic Leag,e and particularly
the situation respecting the construction
of public library building promoted by
the league and for which considerable
sums have already been contributed by
the business men and citizens Of Oroville:
THE Oroville Women's Civic League
has been duly incor, GRATED under the
laws of this state. The certificate Of in
corporation was received by the officers
of the league from the secretary of state
last Tuesday. 1t is now a legally estab-
lished public organization. 1t was es-
tablished and has been conducted for the
purpose of promoting the civic welfare
of Oroville. One of it's chief activities
was the establishment of a free public
library and reading room and since that
time its ambition has been to provide a
public library building. For this purpose
site was secured over a year ago near
the depot. This site, which is centrally
and conveniently located, was planted to
grass and shade trees and has been care
fully tended and will soon become an at
tractive ornament to the town. Funds for
the construction of an adequate library
building have been solicited by the lea
que and a sufficient amount has already
been subscribed to pay for all the build
ing material. lumber, ETC., required for
the library building; attractive plans for
comfortable and pretty building have
been prepared by Mr.. L. r. Stritesky a
| well known architect of Spokane, and
| donated by Mr.. Stritesky to the league.
At the present time construction con-
Germs are figuring on estimates for the
construction of the building and the
league fully expects to have the building
started early in the spring and completed
as soon as the work can be done.
| "All requests for funds for completion
of this building will be made In the fu-
ture as heretofore In the name of the
Oroville Women's Civic League and only
persons authorized by the Oroville wo-
mems Civic League to ask for contri-
! buttons will solicit funds for the construc-

SECOND IIsRAR7 FoR oaov,LLE

The following communication was hand
ed to the Gazette for publication by a
committee representing the newly formed
association that proposes to build a sec
ond library buitli,g fer Ortyi'le with the
request that tha.r l.: D'es be not used.
The new association is entirely separate
and apart from the Oroville Women g
Civic League and Is in no way interested
in or connected with the building Of the
library proposed by the league, for whicf,
sufficient funds have already been con-
tributed to pay for the building supplies
The enterprise inaugurated by the new
association proposes not the completion
o. the building for which funds have been
contributed but a separate and second
library for the city. The statement fol-

When we want anything, We want il
badly snoush to get It plenty. This Il
why we are likely to grab the laurela
away from Boston a. q center Of enlight-
eminent. Our people have been famish-
ing for knowledge. and to satisfy their
burning thirst a free public library wa
established by the Oroville Women's
Civic League about two years ago. The
craving for book lore proved 20 great In
this community that the league decided
over year ago to build q library build
ing. It secured q site for this purpooe
and solicited funds to construct the build
ing. The great public clamor for oppor-
tunity to read and learn grew 20 IN VOL
ume that 1t soon became apparent that
one library would not be suflcient to sup-
ply the demand, so Q movement has been
started to construct another. The fame
OF our literary mania has naturally
spread abroad and Oroville has become
known as a place Of golden opportunity
for library builders. Philanthropists. pro-
moters and brokers throughout the coun-
try are wildly striving to get In on the
ground floor. The condition promises an
immense building boom for Oroville. The
excitment Is greater than that accom-
panying the Calgary oil fever. Within q
year we are likely to have an avenue
lined with noble edifices dedicated to
learning and culture. all filled with VOL
umes Of priceless books and records. 1t
is rumored that Andy Carnegie has wired
for an option on a block of ground on
which he proposes to erect another mon.
ument to his aquisitive faculty. The
Rockefeller foundation is taking notice,
and c. Will Shaffer. the state law librar-
ian. will ask the legislature for an ap-
preparation to move the temple Of justice
from Olympia here that he may have his
library located in this erudite and inspir-
ing atmosphere. Oroville bids fair to r.
val the ancient city Of Alexandria at the
heighth Of its glory.

More Money From Eggs
By II. l.. Kempster

Bad eggs cause Missouri farmers a
loss of between three and four million
dollars annually. Government experts
estimate that five per cent Of the eggs
marketed annually have developing
chickens and that three per cent are
"rots" due to the embryo decaying. All
these losses could be avoided by keep
ing ROSTERS out of the flocks, thus
having only infertile eggs produced.
If Missouri farmers would follow this
plan, they could save one and three
fourths millions of dollars annually.
Infertile eggs produced by flocks in
which there is no male bird are the
only kind that reach the consumer in
good condition during the hot summer
months. The only object in having
male bird in the flock is to fertile
eggs for Matching purposes. Now that
the Matching season is over, the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture urges all
farmers to sell off all the ROSTERS or
shut them away from the hens.
Last year in July and August near
ly one-half the eggs leaving the farms
were unfit for food. The farmers, as
result, received low price. Prevent
that loss this year by getting rid of
the rooster. Now is the time to act
to prevent future losses.

The past winter and spring have
been favorable for the chiuch bug aud
+, Is now at work in wheat oats, rye
and other crops in great numbers and
we may expect even greater damage
In some sections than occurred last
summer The habits Of the chinch bug
are well known and economic method
of control are within the reach Of ev-
cry farmer. We know right now every
move the pest will make during the
summer, and if proper methods Of
control are followed, it can be so com
plctcly stamped out that next year
il will be difficult to find a single
chinch bug. Are we willing to make
the effort?
Cooperation is the key note to sue
cess in the control Of this or similar
pests. Any infested community can
protect itself if all will help, but any
single farmer is practically helpless.
The Missouri College of Agriculture
suggests that each infested commun-
ity form a chinch bug campaign COM
mittee Of farmers, bankers, merchants
and others to fight the pest and to see
that everybody helps. A supple of
tar, road oil, crude carbolic acid or
crcosote should be obtained so as to
have il ready for use when the cam
pagn starts. Nothing can be done to
destroy the chinch bugs which are now
at work in the wheat fields unless il
be to plow the wheat under and work
| the land thoroughly so as to crush
the insects. The time for real effcc
tive work is Immediately after The
wheat is cut. At that time line Of
any Of the chemicals mentioned SHOULD
be run around each wheat field. Thi!
will act as a barrier and will keep al
the chinch bugs in the wheat ficlt
where they will die for want Of greer
plants to live upon.
Instead of the chemical barrier, i
is possible to do effective work by run
ming a dust barrier around whca
fields, but this takes more care and il
rainy weather the bugs will cross it
Cowpeas or other legumes should BE-
grown in fields adjoining wheat fields
| These crops are not attacked by
chinch bugs. Even where this is done
the barrier should be used as the bug
will often migrate long distances.
The Missouri College of Agricul
ture will try to give assistance in or
ganizing community campaigns ant
in giving detailed information in re
gard to methods of control. Address
