OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY
 RAPIDLY GAINING GROUND


 Library Night on last Tuesday
 night was the most successful of many months.
 We attribute it to many causes but we think the primary cause may be the awakened interest in the Library through the article in last weeks Co., conino Sun.
 Many of the "steadies" on Library Night" spoke of the boost the article had given toward the public support of it. We'll keep begging away each month until we can see our way clear to buy new book which we would be tempted to do with our dollar extra this time were it not for the fact that insurance falls due, unfortunate ly, this month.
 Two or three new books would not only look we'll on the shelves but we're falling behind on late fiction which is so constantly in demand.
 Not long ago member of the board had occasion to take charge of the Library one afternoon and among the readers for the afternoon was a young man temporarily stationed in Flag staff. It seems his only diversion was in coming to the Library where he had made the required deposit of $1.5o that he might enjoy the privilege of taking out books. In talking with him concerning the need of new books he suggested his willingness to turn in several he had purchased but which were of no further use to him and suiting the action to the word he later appeared and presented several books of real worth to the library. It only takes few instances like that to show that Public Library is an in- fluence for good in any town. And it only takes q few instances like last Tuesday night to prove that by as good attendance each month of the year at the shows, the expenses of the Library could be paid and a sum of almost one hundred dollars turned over for new books.
 "Lady Eileen" of course was a drawing card but even if it, had not been so good production, you would not have had much cause for com plaint at an investment of 25c. We wish again to speak of our good for tune in having Mir. Costiean interest," ed enough to give us 50-50 for former ly on a Marguerite Clark or Mary Pickford production, the Board was elated to capture the forty per, cent. Lets have each month a duplicate of January and the Library will forge ahead. Thanks

A large crowd witnessed the play and it seemed to be a general favorite with the audi ance, every character being we'll liked with the exception of the leading lady who seemed to be unpopular with some. The play taken from the En- glish life of the eighteenth and nine teenth centuries.
