HERINGTON MOVES BOOKS
INTO NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY


The public library equipment has
been moved to the beautiful new
$4,000 building on South Broad
way and Olive streets. All issuing
of books has been suspended until
January 1, at which time a public
reception and appropriate dedica-
tory exercises will be held. Credit
for securing this splendid building
as has been said, attaches to a few
earnest individuals, the credit OF
the even, frictionless relation of the
library and its many patrons, is due
in a great measure to the quiet eff
cheney of the librarian, Mrs. Roberta
T. McKowan.-Sun.

POUNDING ROCK TO oHARD
Three HeringtOn Boys Attempt to
Escape But Are Captured

Three HertngOOn BOYS htUoinp1 W
Escape But Are Captured
"Hen" Murphy, Charles Fritz
and Ira Fritz, the boys sent W
from Harrington, who are serving
jail sentences, did not like their
lately acquired job on the rock pile
at the county farm and attempted
to escape at 1 o'clock today but
after a chase of two miles were
captured on the Enterprise road by
Quincy Lee, the guard. They made
their dash for liberty as they were
going back to work just after din
ner, and Lee jumping into a buggy
took up the chase. Shots fired at
them only fastened their pace,
which they kept up good dick un-
til Lee overlook them on the En-
terprise road, two miles south Of
the county.
The county attorney today gave
instructions for the making OF
shackles, which they will have to
wear after this. If that will not hold
them the authorities can resurrect
the ball and chain. 1t is not prob
able they would be able to run two
miles hobbled with that.

CHANGE ALLEGIANCE AT WILL
Nationality a Matter of Small Mo-
ment in the Countries Of
the LeVant.

Constantinople and the neighbour
ing regions have been the great scene
of quick-change cosmopolitanism.
I'VE naturally think of nationality
as being a matter of birth and race"
says Sir Charles Eliot, "but in the
Ievant it is regarded as a kind of
privilege which may be acquired,
lost or changed. No one sees any,
thing incongruous in one brother be-
ing an Englishman, second a Bel
gian and a third Turkish subject.
On the outbreak Of the Turco-Greek
war Hellenic subjects were placed
under certain disabilities which af-
fected their business. One Of them
came to me and asked whether he
could not be made then and there a
British subject. He was distressed
to find it impossible; but a day or
two afterward met him satisfied
and smiling. He had become a Ser
bian, and all was right again."

DIRT ROAD IS THE CHEAPEST
Most Satisfactory Highway In Nine
Tenths of Territory-Big objec-
ton to Macadamized Roads.

The time may come when we can
make cement roads. They will cost
from IS, 900 to $4,000 mile and they
may be so smooth. If we learn to make
them properly, that the children liv.
ing on these lines Of road can go to
school on roller skates, as they do in
some places down In Maryland.
There may be some satisfactory
combination of sand and clay; but,
speaking for the prairie lands. the best

nine-tenths Of the territory is the dirt

the better the dragged road will be.

1t is really a pity that the drag is SO

LIVE
STOCK
BUILD UP The HOME MARKET
Not Enough Attention Paid to Local
Needs by Many Breeders Of
Pure-Bred Stock.

Many breeders of pure-bred stock
fail to pay sufficient attention TO their
local market. The excuse is often made
that the farmers near by viii not pay
the prices a breeder ought TO have for
producing high class breeding animals.
To the breeder located in a commune
| ty where the use of such stock has not
become firmly established this may be
true. IL will be to the breeders inter-
est TO use his best efforts to educate
the men of his home community TO the
value of this stock. II may be neces-
sary in the beginning to sell breed
ing animal occasionally for little less
money than IT might bring from one
familiar with its value. AS II is dem
onstrated to these men that good
breeding pays in dollars and cents they
will gradually become willing to pay
more nearly what animals are worth
for breeding purposes.
During the past season owing to bad
roads and bad weather conditions
many buyers from a distance were
prevented from marketing. II has
been interesting to observe the in
stances where the home market had
been Systematically developed to such
extent that the offering was taken at
fairly remunerative prices in spite of
the absence of outside buyers. A sue
cessful breeder of improved live stock
who endeavors to build up home
trade in this way is a good business
asset in the community. In the course
of time the whole community will bene-
fit as result of his work for live
stock Improvement. Such men should
be given every encouragement pos
sible.

ROAD BREAKER IS cIvILIzER
Mans Scale Is Very Correctly Tested
by His Attitude Toward Some
Obstruction In Road.

The civilized man makes roads
the savage does not That is the
safest test OF civilization.
Among us in all communities are
individuals who are not really civil
ICED. They do not take any interest in
roads.
A mans scale in civilization is very
correctly tested by his attitude to-
ward the stone which has rolled into
the road, or the tree which has blown
down across it, writes Herbert Quick
in Farm and Fireside. The man who
drives around the obstacle day after
day is one sort of man, the one who
stops his team and rolls or drags it
away is another And person pass
ing along a road which he does not
expect to retrace, who removes the
obstruction for the sake of the stran-
ger who comes after him, responds
to a very high test of civilization. He
feels socially.
When the snow piles up in the road
the man who goes ahead and breaks
the path for others bears the burden
which he who has made progress al
ways must bear. There is snow In
every road-to cooperation, to better
schools, to better business methods.
There must be road breakers for every
path.
The road breaker is the great civi
lizer.

it could not be detected. North Win
