leagues are often organized in con-
nection with this department.
The circulating department eX-
tends the use of the library includ-
ing both books and periodicals. to
the homes, not only of the city, but
under approved conditions, to the
surrounding country where books
are most priced. Duplicate copies of
the popular magazines are provided
for circulation.
Thus. the opportunity of becoming
"well-read," term which is used
almost as an equivalent of "educat-
ed" is afforded to all members of
the community, both old and young.
Some libraries. in addition to the
above uses. provide a room. some
times a small auditorium, for the
use of literary and other societies
and clubs. either free or on the pay
ment of a small fee. This adds to
its usefulness as an educational and
social center.
Our city is to be congratulated on
the prospect of taking this import
ant next step in the pathway OF
progress Much credit is due to the
various organizations that have been
helping on this movement, and es-
pecially to those individual members
under whose leadership it has beer
carried to success.

THE MONTE VISTA
PUBLIC LIBRARY

The action taken by the women's
clubs in. presenting the matter OF a
public library to the city council.
and the councils prompt and favor
able response, gives assurance TINT
our city is to have one of its great
est deficiencies supplied. This marks
a red letter day in the history OF
Monte Vista.
Next to the public schools. the
most important educational factor in
a community is a public library. 1t
is an effective means, in the first
place, OF attracting a desirable class
OF residents. People of this class
are likely to ask first. in seeking a
place for a new home, what kind
OF schools has it?" Second, rs there
a good public library" Such an in
stitution is evidence of the charac-
ter and tastes of the people of a
community.
There is no class or occupation
that may not, If 1t Will, profit by the
privileges that a public library af-
fords. Books and periodicals are
now published covering practically
every line of human endeavor, af-
fording everyone aid in his or her
particular business or profession
and a good share of such books, Sc
lected especially with reference to
the industrial needs of the commu-
nifty. should be found in the public
library
One of our greatest needs is a
place where our young people, be
yond school age. can pass their even
ings pleasantly and profitably. AT
present they have practically no
place that affords any such regular
opportunity.
For our high school students, a
library would afford much needed
opportunity for supplementing their
studies through access to reference
works and collateral reading. Teach
ers have felt much hindered in their
work with students because of this
lack.
The library would afford our
young people a means of rounding
out their education by giving them
an acquaintance with books and lit
erature which should be the source
of ideals that would safeguard them
from lower tastes and habits and be
come an inspiration to them through
life.
A public library should also pro
vide literally for the needs of pupils
in the grades by supplying books re
lated to their school subjects, sucf
as history, geography, biography
elementary science. art, literature
health, conduct, etc. Under the
charge of a trained librarian co
operating with the public schoo
teachers, it would thus become onl,

 GETS BACK HEALTH

John M. Roach of Sloan Springs, Ark, was long sufferer from stom- ach troubles and related disorders common in this section of the coun- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by la grippe. He was congested, unhappy nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van. ished. He wrote:
 "When your trial treatment was received l was getting better on an other treatment, so l deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously l have had to just wear out such attacks. I thought this good test. l took your medicine according to directions and was nev. CT more surprised in my life. In thirty-six hours the grippe was knocked silly and I have felt like a new man ever since"
