What is said to be the most COM
plete set of business books collected
oy any Of the Libraries of the State
outside of the two big cities has been
made available for use at the Har-
risburg Public Library and will be
added to during the winter. The col
lection was made by the librarian in
charge, Miss Susan r. Clendinin, af-
ter consultation with officials of the
Rotary Club, the Chamber of Com
merce and business men of the city
ana on some recommendations made
by the Associated Advertising Clubs.
These specially selected books cover
eral business methods. mercantile
practice, advertising and the like.A
They are we'll adapted for special
course of reading. In addition the
Library activities this year will in
clude the placing of books which have
teachers. This Fall, as soon as the in
fantile paralysis outbreak abates and
the medical men say that schools may
be open, the Library will establish six
school libraries along the lines Of
those last winter and it is possible
that more may be provided if means
are available. These school Libraries,
for which a number of purchases
have been made. will form an i'm
portant addition to the work. Hun

them last winter. 1t is noticeable that
during August in spite of the con-
ditions brought about by the out
break of infantile paralysis and the
restrictions that the circulation Of the
Library was ahead of that Of August
year ago when conditions were nor
NAL. Incidentally, the percentage Of
fiction circulated declined and there
was greater demand for general
| literature than in any summer month
Through the Lyman D. Gilbert me-
mortal fund the Library was also able
| to meet some requests for the classics
and historical works.
When William H. Ball, secretary to
| the governor, came to town people as
sumed that he liked the same things
as the governor. reading, walking,
fishing. Mr.. Ball likes to walk and
can talk and he reads when he gets
time. But he told the man who asked
| him about recreations that there were
two things that the governor did
which he did not-golf and fish. But
that was before DIR. Brumbaugh went
away for the summer. The other day
Mr.. Ball came back and made some
remark about golf Then it turaed
out that the governor had taken him
out and made him play one afternoon
and, like all initiates he likes it. 1t
in Maine visiting the governor he was
ordered out to fish.
"And," said Mr.. Ball, what do you
i think I did? I caught a three

I landed it and I took it clear down
to Massachusetts,. where my family
was staying, for supper"

A good story is going the rounds
about a choir which had a visitor
during rehearsal the other evening.
No matter where the choir sings. Let
it be sufficient to say that 1t is one
of the best and that even its rehear-
sails are worth while. Well, the men,
bers were singing away the other even-
ing and the doors being opened the
melody attracted drunk who was
wandering about. He came in and
seemed to be much affected by the
! music. Naturally his presence
fused" some of the singers and one
of the members went to the inebriated
one and asked him to go out. He
returned to his place with a some-
what f1ustered air.
whats the trouble? Why didn't
you get him out of here? Won't he
go out?" were some of the questions
hurled at the man.
+, HE says he's member and has as
much right as I have here"
Then the worldly-wise member of
the choir went down and talked to the
drunk about his wife and family. The
choir's audience soon departed.
The first annual miniature Kipona
was held Saturday on the Juniata
river at Aqueduct with all the thrills
and decorative floats and excitement
that attended the big carnival on the
Susquehanna basin a few days before.
All the cottagers at Aqueduct partici-
pated and the thing was done up in
splendid style. Each year the cot
tagers have a carnival of their own
and it may be stated in a whisper that
contestants for the prizes in the Har-
risburg Kipona might get few help
full pointers from the youngsters at
Aqueduct. A beautiful moonlight
night and a perfectly calm surface Of
fered an attractive background for the
miniature carnival. The Bowmans,

Shaaks, the Rotherts, and all the other
