PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Seventy-Three New Patrons Placed
On the List.

That people are still reading to a
great extent was proven by Miss Lit
tie, public librarian here, when she
showed the result of the library's
work the past month as against that
of last year for the month of Septem-
Der. Last year the circulation for the
month of September was 2497 This
year the circulation for the month
was 1885, Of this number 70 are new
applicants. The circulation for the
past month is the largest in the his
tory of the library. In 1911 for the
month Of September 1925 books were
issued in September, the nearest to
the present circulation.
Despite the interest shown in the
Red Cross Work and other war activ-
tiles, it seems that the people are be-
coming more and more interested in
questions of the day, good literature
and the war. A craving for authentic
reports as regards the present day
questions seem to be back of this in
crease in reading, for requests are
continually made for books by au-
thors who are accredited experts in
their field

NEW BILLING SYSTEM.
Save Paper and Cuts Work To a
Minimum,

The American Express company is
the latest firm with Offices through
out the United States and foreign
countries, to install labor saving sys-
items and paper savers.
The old system required that three
copies be made of way bill, and in
balancing at the end of the month all
fCharges had 10 be classified and put
on the clearance sheets according to
towns and billing numbers.
The new billing sheets save half the
paper used by the old ! ethod and the
time used in billing under the old
way is practically cut in half At bal
ancing time the charges only are
enumerated on the balance sheet
which means that it is now unneces-
sary to write out the billing number
and town.
The way bill is also attached TO the
package and is unchecked by the ex-
press messenger, leaving the check
ing to the destination agent, and rem
ders loss of the original way bill
nearly impossible. According to Agent
burst, the new system, as used, will
help the nation to conserve both in
labor and supplies.

WANTS MILWAUKEE, TO
QUIT MUNICIPAL LEAGUE


Claiming that the League of Wis

machine to boost candidates for
state offices, Aid. John Koerner said
he would introduce a resolution in
the common council at the next meet
ing withdrawing Milwaukee from its
membership.
The annual dues are 500 and at
the meeting just held in Racine, Mil
waukee was represented by ten dele
gates, the city paying their expenses.
The delegates who had returned on
Friday afternoon said the meetings
were conducted by small coterie of
upstate politicians and that they
could see no benefit for Milwaukee in
continuing it's membership in the

Big NIGHT FAIR
SAVED THE DAY
FOR LOCAL FAIR

Had it not been for the holding of
the night fair Wednesday and Thurs
day evenings the boks of the Water
town Inter- County Afr association
would now be showing a heavy deficit
instead of a neat sum on the right
side of the ledger. The night fair on
Thursday was huge success, as can
be substantiated by the thousands
who passed through the gates. The
bad weather of Wednesday and Fri
day would have caused havoc with the
finances but for the night fair and
showed that the directors of the fair
acted wisely when it was decided at
the annual meeting Of the board to
hold a night fair, at the suggestion of
several business men present at the
meeting
The subject of a night fair will
come up again at the annual meeting
in January and it is safe to assume
that the business men of the city will
endorse what has proven to be big
asset for the association. AS a lead
ing retail merchant remarked: 1--WE
do not want a night fair uptown. Fair
days should be given over to the en-
joyment of our visitors, and at any
rate, l would not open my store even
though it was possible to hold night
fair up town, which it is not, at any
rate not on Main street"
AS the subject of left over fair
premium books has been under dis
cussion it might be we'll to state that
the News office printed the number
according to it's contract, and the 70
books on hand are to be used by the
secretary for distribution to out of
town advertisers, fair secretaries, etc.
which will certainly exhaust the sup
ply.
This statement is made in Justice
to Secretary Charles w. Harte, who
worked so faithfully for the success
of the big fair for several years past
and whose labors are appreciated by
the people of this city and the many
thousands of visitors who are patrons
of the fair. The same is true of Mayor
Charles Mulberger, who had charge
of the speed department and secured
the largest string of horses ever
stabbed at the Watertown fair, and the
other officers and superintendent
who gave of their time without COM
pensation

JOHN SMYTH
AP|0NEER HERE.
CALLEDT0 REST

Mr.. John Smyth, pioneer resident
of this section, who has resided in and
near Watertown for sixty-nine years
was called by the grim reaper at his
residence, 306 Milwaukee street, Sat
urday morning following an illness OF
several weeks. He had been in fail

the death of his wife two months ago
his decline was more rapid.
Mr.. Smyth was a native of ireland
and was born near Dublin, March 49,
1925. When a young man of % he
came to this country, settling here in
September, 1S4S, on a farm south of
WATERFOWL, where he resided many
years and where he was known as a
man of worth and strict integrity, q
good neighbor and friend. At that
time farming was done in primitive
way and Mr.. Smyth, who possessed
a retentive memory, delighted in re-
calling the many peculiar incidents of
early day farm life
In 1853 he was united in wedlock
with Clara Terwilliger, who entered
into eternal rest two months ago. He
is survived by two daughters, Mrs.
Charles A. Sphinx, Fingal, N. D., and
Mrs. Alice Fellermann, Watertown.
Mr.. Smyth was truly a pioneer of
this section as his coming here ante
dated the advent of the locomotive
seven years and the country at that
time was but little better than a will
derness, with oxen as the only means
of travel and dependent alike upon
them for all the work necessary in
clearing up the land and planting
the crops. In those days the people
raised the wool, spun the yarn and
wove the cloth for their clothes. They
put up with many privations totally
unknown to the settler of more recent
years, and Mr.. Smyth was one of
those who bore his share and was
ever ready to lend a helping hand to
a neighbor when in need
