tons are:
"CLARKs, Neb.. Jan. n.-Dr. A. O.
Thomas. State Superintendent Of Public
Instruction. Lincoln; In accordance with
recent discussions with you regarding
rural school problems. Il beg to submit 10

the following questions:
Il. May a rural school board require the

est and most elementary
principles in merchandising.
The profits of the big mer-
chant who spends ten thou
sand or fifty thousand dol
lars a year come from vol
ume and quick turnover. A
small profit on an article,
multiplied many times each
ten-hour day, is the secret of
success. 1t underlies the
success of the merchant

day. However the patrons of the
races demanded the appearance of
Raimey and Hearne and the pair
gave exhibition and time trials. Dur

the one mile record on the Boone
course to 1912.

IOWA'S NEW LIBRARIES.
Eight Voted i'm Counties Where no
Other Public Libraries
Exist.

In the period between March 2Yd
and July 18th, eight Iowa towns
have voted to establish libraries and
all but two Of them are in counties
where no other public library exists
This is the largest number of new
Libraries to be established in any
one year in the history Of the library
movement in Iowa.
The new libraries voted are in the
following towns: Bedford, Taylor
county; Decorah, Winneshiek coun-
ty; Waukon Allamakee county;
Greenfield, Adair county; Logan,
Harrison county; Malvern, Mills
county; Mt. Ayr. Ringgold county,
and Hamburg, Fremont county. Gar
ner in Hancock county is just COM
pleting a new library building which
cost $500, and Traer, in Tama
county, is building $4,000 library.
Bedford is to have a $4,000 build
ing, and several of the other towns
are planning on buildings to cost
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Taxes for the support of these
libraries have been voted IN these
towns of from two to five mills, the
majority of the voting two or three
mill tax.
General interest in the library
movement is given by Miss Julia Ro-
binson, secretary of the library conf
mission, as the cause of so many new
libraries being established. Many OF
the buildings will be furnished by
the Carnegie fund. Sufficient taxes
are being voted to maintain first
class Libraries. The tax cannot how
ever exceed five mills.
Iowa now has 125 public libraries,
eighty-eight of which have Carnegie
buildings. The average library has
from 1900 to 5000 volumes. There
are nine libraries in towns of less
than 500 population and four n
towns of less than 800 people.
Libraries generally are taking. al
vantage of the summer school main
tanned at Iowa City which gives a
six weeks course in library work.

Louis DtSbrOw Is not one of the
speed pilots who has been resting on
his honors this year, as the little
Italian is not content to set by and
watch his records be smashed by
some other pilots. Indeed Disbrow
has never had harder year, and he
is making desperate attempt to
lower the marks held by himself and
cheat others out of fame and glory.
Disbrow is veteran at the racing
game, making his debut away back
in 1904 when he piloted Simplex
Midget" For a number of years
he handled the wheel of the Simplex,
having several different models and
in that time establishing six records,
At present he is handling a Simplex
and in exhibitions drives the NAM
mouth "Jay-Eye-See" racing creation
both of which he has entered in the
local races.
Disbrow was the dirt track star
tof 1912 and since that time he had
been one of the leading lights in
this branch Of gasoline sport. Dur
ing 1912 he set the three, four. fve
and ten mile records at Cleveland,
Ohio. He also demonstrated his
ability at a longer distance and
travelled fifty miles in 46:32.00.
None of these figures have yet been
touched.
Last year Distrow hung up records
for one and two miles on circular
tracks, performing these two feats
ION the well known Maxelton oval 4t
St. Louis. He travelled mile in
1920, and made two miles in L.
$3.50. While many have tried to
reduce the points this year, failure
has always been the results and it
appears that Disbrow will lower the
notches himself if such thing IS
performed during 1915. Disbrow will
appear a. luC idSCo dt VIC DCSoi u
fair, August II.
Johnny Raimey, who showed SO
much speed on the track at Boone
Iowa, in June and who with Eddie
Hearne was forced to withdraw from
the races, before the other ten con-
testants would get on the track has
forwarded his entry to Ben Bear
and will be on hand with his Case
l''Comet."
Raimey is the short distance
champion of the United States, es
pecially when it comes to half mile
tracks and they are few pilots who
have the hardihood to attempt to
outdrive or outgeneral him on 3
short oval. Raimey's nerve never
fails him and no matter what the

in January 1912, wrote about me
destruction by fire of the New YORK
Equitable building. For lol <
Period of time it was a question
whether the company would er,ct
structure on that immense plat,
but such was decided, and two years
ago the erection on that plat OF
ground Of thirty eight story build
ing was put under way on the Eq,.it-
able site. The Equitable building
stands on the most valuable plat Of
ground under single ownership in
the world. 1t covers a city block
and is bounded by Broadway, Pine,
Cedar and NASSAU streets. It's lOca-
tion is the center of the greatest A.
nancial district in the world, sur
rounded by the New York Stock Ex-
change, the United States Sub-treas-
ury, the Assay Office and many Of
the most important banks and trust
companies, as we'll as the leading ma
tional insurance institutions. The
building, as said before, is 3S stor-
les high, has rental area of about
100000 square feet, the area CT
the plat of ground being nearly 50.-
900 square feet The building has
more than fifty elevators, 1t contains
large rest rooms, "a nice rest room
for Decorah wouldn't be bad,) rooms
in charge Of matrons and nurses, i'm
mense safety deposit vaults, and law
library; the Bankers club is housed
here, a restaurant which is consider
ed one of the most elegantly equip
ped in America. 1t contains banks
and stores, and you can almost find
anything in this wonderful building
that you might desire. The building
itself is almost small city. The en-
trance on the lower floor reminds
one, instead of an Office building, OF
being palace, gorgeous in con-
struetion, of the finest of decorated
marble, illuminated at night with
thousands of electric lights. In this
great building the system of elevator
service, and of location of offices,
has been arranged so simple that
most anyone IL able to find the wav
