From the Town Report
REPORT OF THE7TRUsTEEs.

hE1OhI OF THEITRUSTEES.
1t is a pleasure to the trustees of
the Free Library TO be able to re-
port that the past year has been one
or continued growth in the equipment
OF the library, and in the use which
the community makes of its resources
we thlnk II is true that in no previous
year has there been added to the
library a greater number of books of
current interest and of permanent
value The aim has been to put upon
the shelves the books best worth while
IN the years literature, and at the
same time to keep the library abreast
OF the times In works relating to mod
ern science and research, to home
economics, and to the many other sub
lects which concern the practical.
everyday life of our people.
Especial attention has been paid to
the provision of books for children and
our young folk-books which are at
tractive and entertaining. and which
az the@ same time encourage a taste
for the best reading. These books are
eagerly sought for, and what this will
mean in the education and training of
the coming generation is easy to be
seen.
The librarian S report showing the
large increase in the number of books
taken from the library the past year,
and the notably large percentage of
gam IN circulation in the past five
years, is highly gratifying, but it
should be borne in mind that the
books taken TO the homes represent only
one side of the library's usefulness.
lt Is hardly too much to say that its
most important service lies in its use
Tor reference work, and in study
along all the various lines of current
thought and action. AM one will be-
come very much aware of this who
makes it a practice to look in now
and then to see how many and who
are IN the reading room, in the alcoves
and at the librarian s desk to ask
/ for information on all sorts of sub
jects.
For correct understanding of the
library s financial situation it should
be explained that the treasurer :
balance Of sf,95G13 on hand February
LIST, as shown by his report, must carry
the library through for the next seven
months, as no money VII be available
from this year : appropriation until
about Septembers LIST. Out of this bal
ance the sum of Sl,4O0, in round num-
bers, will be required for current sx-
penses, including salaries of Librari-
ans and janitor, the purchase of the
year : supply Of coal, payment of the
annual bill for periodicals.. for the re-
binding Of books, and other current ae-
counts. Out of this balance there must
also be paid S2473S for books and
supplies ordered in January, but bills
for which were not received in season
to be paid and included in the audi
tors report.
When these deductions from the
treasurer s balance are made il will
be seen that we have only some $500
available for the purchase of books
for the coming seven months.

Fertilizer OF GREAT VALUE
Ing Coal, "Lignaite," Materially In
creases Growth Of Plants.

Experiments conducted by Pro-
fessor Bottomley with specially-pre-
pared peat have shown that valuable
aids to plant life are contained in
that product but still more striking
are said to have been the results Sc
cured by the employment of "ligna-
ite."
This is the radium-bearing coal
discovered by the French chemists,
MN. Detaile and L~afayaise, and
Prof. Barton Scammell, M. s. G. I.
of Hadleigh, in Essex, England.
Particulars are being sent to all APP
plicants who are interested in agri-
culture.
A crop of Indian corn grown this
season in County Kerry, ireland, in
soil treated with Hiignaite," attained
a height of nearly nine feet. Rad
ishes, as described in a recent lee
ture before the Royal Society of
Arts, were grown in half the usual
time and of very greatly increased
size.
As the '1ignaite" is found in all
British coal mines, and is low in
cost, its use by every agriculturist is
made possible. It is interesting to
note that peat and coal are closely al
lied, and contain all the vital and
necessary constituents of plant
growth.
