When any man can so live
as to proudly have his life and
character so relate to the
many problems in the church,
state and city life, that man is
an honor to any community.
When a mans life is so inter
woven with the birth of an
organization, be it fraternal,
religious or secular. that one
cannot properly be separated
from the other then that man
has lived a life of f'service and
usefulness.
Such were the activities in
the life of Thomas Jefferson

ers cards IN use were in the North
Atlantic and North Central States.
Library activity for the past
year was marked, according to the
Bureau of Education report, by
considerable extension of the
branch system, particularly in the
granting of library privileges onr
the part of cities to neighboring
suburban communities; by further
development of the country library
plan in many States; and in gen.
eral by a visible growth in the
spirit of service that is character
lstic of many of the formal educa-
tional institutions of today. The
period of the library as a mere.
storehouse of books seems to be-
safely past; it has yielded to q
period of direct community ser

Sullivan Sees
Prosperity Ahead

Licutcnant-Govcrnor Sullivan re
turned to Carson last evening on the
train from Goldficld and Tonopah,
where he has been for some time on
a business and pleasure trip. He
had to get back to Carson to be on
hand if anything comes up in the
chief executive line, as the governor
is away on official business.
Mr.. Sullivan says that during his
absence from the southern country
many changes have taken place, ana
all of them for the better. The ap-
pearance of both Goldfield and Toro-
pah has improved, and general
feeling of cheerfulness and prosperity
seems 10 prevade those communi-
ties. Buildings are being treated 20
fresh paint, old signs are being
frcshcned up, and something like old
times is expected. Many new offices
have been opened by brokers IN
Tonopah, and no one seems to doubt
that an era of prosperity is about 10

for its service in playing for the
meeting. This was carried with en-
thusiasm. The band seems to be ap-

After nearly everyone who talks at
such places had had his say Dean
Smith took the floor, and opened with
the remarks. that he never attended
a meeting witout making a speech
and this one was to be no exception.

started enthusiasm.
The meeting, at the close of Mr..
Smiths remarks, adjourned, subject
to the call of the chair.

of the general committee was agreed
on for tomorrow night, Wednesday,

Several plans for raising the neces-
sary money to defray the expense of
the celebration were talked over by
the committee.
1t is proposed, if possible, to in

EQUALITY Street,
at the Majestic

Barrie's first play, "The Little
Minister" gave Maude Adams her
opportunity to come forward as
star. The Scotchman's lecond work,
Quality Street." enabled the little
actress to steel rivet her hold on the
american theatergoing public. The
comety was first presented in New
York in November of 1901 and It
was then said of it that it was "mer-
ry, quaint, delicately pathetic and of
charming simplicity" Of the little
star it was said: Miss Adams is at
her best in this play and is piquant
and willful in turn" Of the Scotch
author who was making his way It
was written: His style is engaging
his art is unaffected, his comedy is
spontaneous, his pathos is sincere"
The comedy scored great hit but
arrangements made in advance of It's
production for the presentation of
other plays caused its withdrawal At
'hN Slh VI tiC SSSoHd SSdSOll, dlld
long before It had been seen except
in small section of the country.
Miss Adams is to give the comedy
in Reno at the Majestic Friday even
ing and this will be agreeable news
to many of her admirers here who
never had the opportunity of seeing
her in role in which she is credited
with having scored one of her great
est successes. Quality Street" is n
four acts and takes its name from
a little thoroughfare in the village
in which the scene is laid. The per-
iod is the early nineteenth century
and there is military flavor to
some of the scenes which make the
revival seem very opportune. Barrie
was in sentimtntl mood when he
fashioned Quality Street and ms
story deals with the love affair of
Phoebe Throssell and Valentine
Brown. The role in Miss Adams
keeping is that of Phoebe. A num-
Der of prominent players will be
seen in the supporting company.
