LAONA PUBLIC LIBRARY

To have a Public Library in the
town of Laona was the suggested of
w. d. Connor for number of years
and he kept the need of one constantly
before the people until at the town
meeting April 1915, the people voted to
appropriate the money for new pub
lie library.
The chairman of the town, DR.. r. s.
Elliott appointed the Library Board in
November, J. D. Kissinger, President,
j. G. Kopf, Vice President, Rev. B. Ii.
Freye, Secretary, Mrs. George Maltby,
Rev. Buytaert and VIM. Gruman.
The Board with the aid of the Wis
consin Library Commission started the
organization of the Library. The five
rooms were completely furnished in
steel braced mission furniture, the
cnildrens room is especially attractive
with the small furniture appropriate
for that room. The books are all new
and selected with the aid of the Com
mission.
During February, Miss Estes and
Miss Baskerville of the Wisconsin
Library School shelf listed and pre-
pared the books for circulation.
The Library was opened to the pub
lie March 18th and the opening exer-
cises were held March 31st with the
following program:

EAVEs TROUCHS AN ECONOMY.

Few people realize or even stop 10
think of the economy of caves troughs.
They think only of the actual cost and
forget the saving that results.
Eaves troughs need be put up but
once, and the saving in paint and walls
amounts to many times the original
cost. Then too, the foundation walls
are saved the washing from the heavy
spring and fall rains and the base
ment is kept dry.
The actual cost is not great. We
will put them up for nine cents foot,
elbows and corner mitres extra. AT
this rate the cost to cover an ordinary
house will not exceed fifteen to tweR-
ty dollars.
We have large number of orders
already placed and if you want your
work done this spring see Harter q
Dickinson at once. Adv.

Natures Balance, which meant the
Birds.
In great agricultural state like
Iowa, it is estimated that the sparrow
family alone, consumes over 500 tons
of weed seeds annually.
Altho there is much snow on the
ground here in Forest county have
observed the following migratory
birds, (and the food prospects at this
time must look rather discouraging TO
them) Great Blue Heron, Meadow
Lark, Slate Colored Junco, Horned
Lark, Smiths Longspur, Robin, Blue
bird and all those birds except the
Blue Heron, will live on weed seeds
until the snow is gone and insects
make their appearance. Let us scat-
ter few seeds from the barn and help
our little neighbors along until warm
weather, they will amply repay us
during the summer by the insects they
destroy.
DuIlu IICUIC IOucC VI b"O anu
erect same on pole near your dwell
ling, for the Eastern Blue Bird as their
food consists of 6s per cent insects.
Get on friendly terms with the Rob-
ins. Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, the
Meadow Larks and the field Sparrows
as they will be of great assistance in
ridding your garden of insect pests.
And if you keep cat around your
place, by all means take that cat and
mereifully chlorOfOrm her, as she is
one of our worst enemies to bird life.
If we should make an estimate that
every domestic cat in Wisconsin kills
an average of only 10 birds in a year,
the amount of birds killed will run
into millions, and remember that we
can live without cats, but we can not
live without birds. Let US become
nation,
With hearts to love and eyes to see,
With ears to hear their minstrelsy,
Through US no harm by deed or word,
Shall ever come to any bird.

NEEDS MILLIONS
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
Enormous Outlays Requisite to Bring
Boston & Names Facilities Up to
Date.

Boston, Jan. 19.-If the only finan-
cling needed for the Boston & Maine
system was in connection with its float
ing debt, the problem would be much
simpler than that now confronting its
owners. As a matter of fact, enormous
OUTLAWS are requisite to bring its ia
cilities up to date. The necessity of be-
ginning such expenditures has been
clearly known for several years, and
their postpOnement has only made the
road situation the more urgent.
During the 1914 fiscal twelvemonth
the management published detailed esti-
mates that $40, $50 900 new capital was
imperative within two years for addi-
tions and betterments, including 81
$50 900 to meet demands of safety.
These official estimates were doubt
ed in some quarters. Two experts of
high standing, themselves heads of

which IS not estimated. His widow
is made executrix and given $4,000
outright in the document, and a life
interest in the residue after certain
minor requests are paid.
The two sons receive nominal cash
requests and half interest IN valua-
