Manifested by Members

People like things that are cup. and
coming,' which probably explains
why so much interest is being taken
in The Little Falls Herald Auto Club.
New candidates are enterino the race

ton. The club manager is making a
special inducement this week in the

to read it carefully.
We are going to allow $4,000 extra
in to this office between now and Oct
3 at 9 p. m. There is no need of wait
ing. You may start sending in your

credited to you according to the 50,-
900 extra credits offer.
Make big credit gains. The men,
ber who is really anxious to win the
Ford touring car, our first grand
award, will take advantage of the op-
portunity to boost his score, and as
there are credits given on every penny

Der of extra credits one may secure.

Library TO OPEN TOMORROW
REPAIRS COSTING $1,000 CONFLICT.
ED-BUHDING Is NOW IN
FINE SHAPE

After having been closed for several
weeks for repairs, the local public IL
brary will open again tomorrow to the
public. Between twelve and thirteen
hundred dollars have been expended
in fixing the library up and it is now
in splendid shape, real credit to the
city.
First as one approaches the building
one notes that boulevard has been
put in, greatly improving the appear
ance of the premises. The front en-
trance has been painted and the steps
inside have been scraped and varnish-
ed.
The main room upstairs has been
changed so that one hardly knows it.
The walls have been given three coats
of paint, a rich tan, and the ceiling
is painted white. A fine new indirect
lighting system has been installed.
The magazine reference room has been
moved downstairs and is located in the
southwest room, and the main room
will be used only as a reading room.
New tables have been ordered for this
room.
Every room downstairs has been en-
tirely redecorated, white and grey.
The library lecture room downstairs
has been fitted up and will be used as
Red Cross work room. The south
east room in the basement will be used
as mending room. Other improve
ments are new concrete coal bin
which will hold 40 tons of coal, new
screens for some Of the windows, new
chairs, etc.
The cost of these improvements
have been partly borne by the. city,
the council appropriating $3.50 for re-
pairs recently. The balance of the ex-
pense, amounting to about $500, is be-
ing paid by Mrs. G. A. Weyerhaeuser,
a member of the library board, who
has always been a most liberal con
tributor to the library. I
"A committee from the library board
visited the council finance committee
recently and asked for an increase Of
81 900 in the annual tax for the libra
ry, but were allowed only $500. This
matter will come up at the council
meeting next Monday evening.
Mrs. Jenny Lind Blanchard, librarian
will have an assistant this year, Miss
Mildred Dewey. The library will open
tomorrow afternoon at O'Clock and
will be open every afternoon and eve
ming hereafter except Sundays. All
those who have books out now should
return them to the library tomorrow
and no fines will be charged, but after
tomorrow fines will be collected.
Mrs. Blanchard has a table in the
main reading room with q poster tell
ing about the campaign for funds for
libraries at the camps, and a contribu-
tion box, SO that persons who have
not yet contributed to this fund may
do 80 there.

when matters came up at meeting
when there was> good attendance
they would be disposed of because Of
the fear that no action would be taken
at another meeting because the attend
ance might be very small. He said it
has been very hard to get the directors
to meet and suggested that the number
of directors be reduced to three or
five, instead Of seven. With such q
large number of directors as seven, he
said, it is almost impossible to get q

bLACKLEC KILLING CATTLE
DISEASE PREVALENT AMONG
CATTLE IN SWAN RIVER
MUCH STOCK LOST

DR.. J. H. Newman, local veterinary,
reports that many cattle are being lost
by farmers west of this city as the re.
suit Of disease known as blackleg.
On one farm herd of sixteen cattle
are said to have been lost. Others
have lost from one to six head.
sBlackleg is a disease which becomes
prevalent in the spring and fall. In

would save many cattle, the veterin.
aries say.
