But the people should know that the
record is by no means a proud one.
Il can not but think that there are
many times 5000 young Americans out
here who have the spunk, spirit and
patriotism that are demanded of men
in the navy. OF course, in my humble
opinion young man who lacks the
virtues of spunk. spirit and patriotism
is lacking in the qualities that should
mark a citizen of the United States,
and it is certain that such men are not
wanted in the navy.

1t is admitted that young men who

library telephone.
The following titles. taken from a
list of books for girls and young

Library hours, a. m. to p. m.
daily except Sundays when the read
ing room is open from 2 to 6 p. m. The
children's room is open every after
noon from $3.50 to $3.50, and every
Saturday afternoon from 1880 to $3.50.
While we have never considered it
a secret, and have not treated the
matter in any furtive way at all, it
becomes more and more apparent that
some one must have told it, and the
news has been widely spread by this
time, that the new books at the public
library are mighty interesting. The
demand continues to grow and the
daily average Of almost 300 books is
being steadily maintained.
A few second-notices for books long
overdue were sent out last week. The
second notice is the last warning from
the library, and when the books are
not returned within few days, the
list will be turned over to the city
authorities for collection.
The telephone Is becoming quite a
factor in the business of conducting
a library, and perhaps there are some
patrons who do not know that books
may be renewed, reference questions
answered and books reserved by the
labor saving device. There are some
things that naturally cannot be at
tended to by telephone, as everyone
should know, and there are some re-
quests which formerly were granted
that must now be refused because of
the great increase in desk duty. Chief
among these Is the request to page
the library for persons to answer a
telephone call. 1t Is scarcely to be
hoped that the people who require this
attention will be reached by this note,
but to those who come to the library
often, the sight Of a busy desk attend
ant, distracted by insistent calls to
