Meeker Public Library

A the Meeker Public Library Is
soon to belong to the people Of the
town, 1t may be Of interest to them
to know how much 1t IL being used
at the present time. Two large gifts
OF books received this summer from
Mr.. w. 8. Montgomery and Mira.
Arlington. and . smaller one from
Mrs. J. N. Pierce of Denver. have In
creased the size Of the library until
there are now nearly 1000 books al
together. During the winter, when
the library Is used most, there are
over 100 books out all the time. On
Saturdays, which are always the
busiest days, an average Of IS books
10 given out From these figures 1t
may be seen that the library 10 ap-
preciated and used. When there are
more funds and new books can be
purchased more often 70 meet the
growing demand, there will be . still
greater growth.
This summer the librarian Was
pleased and gratified with the praise
from tourists passing through, who
were delighted both with the number
Of books, and the attractive quarters.
In many cases, people from towns
larger than Meeker expressed regret
that they were not able to boast even
. reading room. So, those Of us who
have civic pride and who care for the
reputation of the town outside, may
we'll be proud Of our library.
The library IL open every day from
8 TO except Monday. On Saturday
from to s. and every evening except
Monday and Thursday from to 9.

given authority to proceed at once
and raise the main pipe line out Of

In our opinion, this was the correct
action to be taken In the premises.
The black slkali fats have been

THE WAY TO SUCCEED.

Charles N. sehwab's Advice to Young
Men Starting TO Work.
In his book Succeeding With What
You Have" Charles NJ. Schwab says:
when took charge Of tile Carne-
gle works at Homestead there was a
young chap employed there6as water
boy. A little later he became a clerk.
l had habit of going over the works
at unusual hours, to see how every
thing was moving. l noticed that no
matter what time l came around l
would find the former water boy hard
at work. never learned when he
slept.
NOW, there seemed to be nothing
remarkable about this fellow except
his industry. The only way in which
he attracted attention was by working
longer hours and getting better results
than any one else. 1t was not long
before we needed an assistant super
intendent. The ex-water boy got the
job. When we established our great
armor plate department there was not
the slightest difference of opinion
among the partners as to who should
be manager. 1t was the youth with
the penchant for overtime service.
To-day that ex-water boy. Alva C.
Dinkey. Is head of great steel com.
pany and very wealthy: His rise was
predicated on his willingness to work
as long as there was any work to be
done.
IF young man entering industry
were to ask me for advice 1 would
say: Don't be afraid of imperiling your
health by giving few extra hour
to the company that pays you your
salary. Don't be reluctant about put.
ting ON overalls. Bare hands grip
success better than kid gloves. Be
thorough In all things, no matter how
small OF distasteful. The man who
counts his hours and kicks about his
salary Is a self elected failure.
at may be In seemingly unimpor,
tant things that a man expresses hi,
passion for perfection. yet they will
count heavily In the long run. When
you 60 into your customary barber
shop you will wait for the man who
gives you a little better shave, q little
trimmer hair cut. Business leader
are looking for the same things II
their ofices that you look for in ths
barber shop.

win Not Confiscate Home-C Canned
Foodstuffs

A widely circulated statement has
been promulgated In the country that
the Food Administration at Wash
inRton would seize canned goods and
food supplies In the homes II 1t was
found that the supply exceeded scer-
tain amount. This has caused some
people to hesitate in increasing the
home supply Of these products. One
statement was to the effect that the
government would take all canned
goods Ia excess of one hundred cans
and another 10 that the government
Off ials have been encouraging an
increased supply with the purpose of

The authorities state emphatically
that no such course has been contem-
plated by the government On the
contrary, every effort has been made
that the supply should be Increased
