Philip Gagne of Lynn Found in Railroad Yard After Falling From Express-Pendleton Hill Man Arrested Wearing Stolen Coat-Mrs. Albert Chapman Dead

Miss Gertrude Whittenore, librarian of the Narragansett library at Peace Dale, is soon to begin educational mis- Sionary work in South Kingston, which is made possible by Rowland G. Haz- ard placing at her disposal a chauffeur with an automobile in which to make her semi weekly rounds. The service will be personally carried out in eVerJ detail by Miss Whitte1nore, who Wi
 place and collect the books and period
 icalS. As the section is noted for i.
 magnificent distances so admirable
 tke summer months and so depressi
 when the winter shuts in, Miss Whit more conceived the project of esta.
 .ishing a delivery system which would not only extend the service of the Mar
 ra 5ansett library, but make it 8 strong educational factor in South Kingston.
 There is plenty of reading matter, in
 iuding standard works. fiction, maga-
 mes, works on farming and poultry
 raising and other publications that can be spared from the Nara gansett shelves without discommoding the pa-
 trohs of the library living in the com
 pact part of the town.
 Miss Whtttemore says: T am truly . delighted and gratified because of the interest the public has already shown in this work, and a number of people Irving at remote distances from Peace Dale, but on the main roads, have of- fered the use of their homes as stations to leave from 15 to 20 volumes each, for the convenience of others living well off the main travelled ways"
 Two trips will be made weekly. The first will be through Gould's crossing, Curtiss crossing and Tuckertown; the other will be made by way of A1oores- field and over Tower Hill. Effort will
 be made to cover the Old Point Judith
 road in the second route. Miss Whit
 tem0re will have about 100 volumes wizh her and will stop at every house
 and offer the service, and upon the hospitality Of her reception to what extent drafts will be made upon the resources of the Narragansett library The same rules will apply to this auto mobile service that obtain at the Ii- braTy, so that there will be a perfect
 system of delivery and returning of books within a prescribed time limit.
 The object of the mission is to place in the homes books of an instructive and fnterestiu character which will serve to while away the tediousness of
 tha long winter evenings as Miss
 Whittemor" knows what 1t means tn be in a South Kingston home, far away from the main road, miles from any place where reading can be ob- tained. the highways blocked with snow, or having no horse with which to drive to town, to be completely shut off from comm unication with the outside world. No deliveries will be
 made in the compact part of the town.
