Public Library Notes.

There will be story hour at the Ii
bray at 2:3O Saturday afternoon.
Some annotations of recent books
now in the library:
Psychology and Social Sanity by
Hugo Munsterberg, group Of ten es-
says on social problems. These display
not only much common sense, but the
evident uncommon sense of the in
spired, trained specialist. A book for
any one to read and take to heart.
''The Story Of the Pony Express" by
G. D. Bradley. An interesting little
book telling the story of this remark
able but short-lived system for trans
porting the mails-its beginning, or
ganization and development, and its
place in history.
Americas best selling book of non
fiction today is Gerald Stanley Lees
book entitled "Crowds,' moving pic
ture picture of democracy. The Dial
printed the following criticism soon
after it's publication: |'Mr. Lee de-
lights in showing us just how far the
most open-minded and generous souled
men among US have actually (not theo-
retically) gone toward solving the
problr ms Of everyday living, following
this by the suggestion that we move
up beside them and enjoy the feeling
of actual, veritable, demonstratabe
progress"

Stoughton too Strong.

Local interest in the football game
ran at high pitch Friday when spec
ial train was chartered by the Edger-
ton supporters of our high school, team
to carry about 300 people to Stoughton
to try conclusions with the high school
team of that city. The rooters were
abundantly supplied with red cards
bearing the legend "Wallop Slough
ton" and accompanied by band made
quite an imposing parade as they
marched from the train through town
to the field. Stoughton had prepared
another card that seemed more appro-
pirate after the first quarter, that was
abundantly displayed, reading "Wallop
straightforward on Your Life" The
Stoughton team outclassed our boys in
weight and also snappy work on the
field. They played Edgerton off their
feet right from the start, securing two
touchdowns in the first quarter, and
aside from a field goal in the second
made no further points. After Edger-
ton got over their stage fright they
played plucky game and had they not
lost the ball so many times at critical
iunctures on fumbles the score might
have been different AS the game pro-
crossed they improved greatly in their
playing. The final score was Is to 0.
A return game to be played here is
scheduled for Nov. 20.

NOSE NOT HIS CHOICE

Democrats of Idaho allied with the
Hawley wing of the party are trying
to encourage E. L. Bryan of Caldwell.
Judge of the Seventh judicial district,
or Frank Moore of Moscow to make
the race in the primaries against
Moses Alexander, the Nugent candi-
date for the governorship.
Owing to the bitter fight which has
already cropped out in the Democra-
tic party over the United States
senatorship, the Hawley faction does
not care to enter a candidate unless
he has a chance of winning, accord.
ing to D. Worth Clark, of Pocatello,
who is at the Hotel Utah. In the
matter of federal patronage the Nu-
gent faction has had control and it
is feared by the conservative Demo
Gratis of the Gem state that Nugent' 8
strength may extend to the rank and
file of the party on election day.
Mr. Clark said that either Judge
Bryan or Mr.. Moore would make an
acceptable candidate to the Hawley
Democrats of Idaho, and that in the
event of a nomination of either the
Democrats had a good chance to win
the fight-Herald Republican.

Freneh-Canadian Birth Rate,

When France Is perturbed by that
ever-present specter, the falling birth
rate, there is the example of French
fertility in Canada to which students
Of the problem may point from their
editorial stools in Paris. The results
of the Canadian census of 1911 have
recently been published and show q
054.000 French out of a total popula-
ton of 100000, as compared with
S,878.000 of English. Irish. and Scotch
combined. In 1901 the French were
81 per cent. Of the whole; in 1911
only 20 per cent, but in the same Pc
riod the Britannia preponderance had
fallen from 81 to 81 per cent. with
the introduction of other races. In the
ten years the French-Canadians had
added 405,519 to their number, a strict
ly numerical increase of nearly rs per
cent.-a rate the half Of which would
make France delirious with Joy could
she accomplish it.

Lost Feet and Watch.

While surgeons of the Methodist
hospital. in this city. were amputat-
ing the feet of John Guest, who was
run over by train at Bangor. Pa.
his gold watch was stolen from his
pocket. When he recovered conscious
ness from the anesthetic he missed
the timepiece, and the loss caused a
hurried search. but nothing could be
found to explain the loss.
Suspicion fell on Paul Reiker, an
orderly at the institution. He was
arrested, confessed. and was held for
trial in the night court. This led to
the discovery that another patient.
Frank Price. was robbed of a dia-
mond stickpin while under the in
duence Of ether in the surgical ward.
and Reiker also confessed that theft.

&c cost to Holland of the mobiliza-

cost Of other war measures is placed
At $4,000, 900 and Of caring for the

estimated that the national revenue

To cover the deficit IL is proposed
to obtain a loan of $4,000, 900, to
add m extra percentage to all direct

ing by the tone OF the press there Is
likely to be active opposition to these
