Your Public Library
Do you Make Use Oi II? Or Is 1t an
CndeyeiOppd Resource!

The following article, written
by H. Addington Bruce for the as
sociated press newspapers, deals
with one of the important institu-
tious of our town, and is we'll worth
reading and may suggest a larger
use Of the public library in our
own community: Do YOU make
any systematic use Of your public
library? Do you, make any use of
it at all?
Do you, in fact, appreciate the
possibilities Of the public library
as an aid, not only in Frightening
your life, but in bringing you
nearer to realization Of your
dreams of success in the vocation
you have chosen?
ask these questions because |
know that in every city there are
thousands of persons who never go
near heir public library. To them
it is only building at which, per-
haps, they cast glance when pass
ing.
Yet these same persons in many
cases are people who complain bit
terly because they have lacked edu-
cational advantages in youth.
Gndeniably it is great handl-
cap on a man to begin business life
without proper schooling. But it is
not an unsurmountable handi leap.
And in modern towns aud cities
there are special facilities for over
coming it.
The public library is one of these
facilities.
With the librarians aid any
man, if only he knows how to read
can carry through profitable
course in self-education. The Ii
brarian will gladly indicate for
him books to enlarge his know
ledge of any subject. These he
can take home. to study at his leis-
ure.
SO, too, the really educated man,
unexpectedly confronted by a bus
mess problem which requires know
ledge he does not possess, will find
the public library an invaluable
help.
Everybody, one would suppose.
would be aware of this. But not
everybody is really aware Of it.
And of those who are aware, many
forget how serviceable the public
library can be to them.
Often we hear a man exclaim,
If only | knew what to read about
So-and- -So" Well, he can easily
learn what to read. All he needs
to do is to visit his public library
and make inquiry.
Remember this, if you are nom
user Of your public library, you
are missing golden opportunities to
increase your chances Of success.
Don't be content with admiring
the library from outside. It was
not built merely for you and your
fellow citizens to gaze at admiring-
ly. It's mission is to be of real,
practical use to them and to you.
Put it to use. Put it frequently
to use. Familiarize yourself with
the treasures Of knowledge it con-
tains that bear particularly on
your personal interests and prob
lens.
The more you do this the bigger
are the profits you will gain in the
way Of increased wisdom, increas-
ed efficiency, and increased happi-
ness.

NO TRUTH IN REPORT OF
WILLIAM KRUMM'S ARREST

An investigation along the main
land developed the fact that a grave
injustice had been done William
Krumm, a well known and highly es-
teemed Linwood farmer, by publica-
ton in The Pleasantville Press of the
report that Mr.. Krumm had been ar
rested by Secret Service officers on
the charge of uttering threats against
President Wilson. The account of
Mr.. Krumm's alleged arrest and ar
raignment in Philadelphia was sub
mitted by a correspondent, who re-
ceived his information from what he
believed to be an authentic source. 1t
developed, however, that there is alb
solutely no truth in the report, which
va circulated by maliciously inclined
persons along the mainland. Mr..
Krumm has resided in Linwood for
many years, is the owner of valuable
property interests and is a citizen of
unusually good repute.

EMPIRE LAUNDRY NEEDS
MORE GIRL WORK ERS,
Under New Management Many I'm
~provements Have Been Made
In Service.

The Empire Laundry of Pleasant
vile, one of our principal industries,
is in need of more girls to handle
their constantly increasing business.
This institution is under new manage
ment, and since Mr.. Leon Mayer, of
New York, assumed control several
weeks ago new systems for handling
the work and help have been insti-
tuted. The plant has been thorough
ly renovated and cleaned out, the
girls have their own dressing rooms,
and numerous other improvements
are gradually being installed. A
Welfare Society is being organized
among the help, regular outings will
be had during the summer season, and
dancing and parties will be provided
for amusement in the winter. The
help will be placed upon piece work,
with a guarantee by the management
of at least 81 to $1.50 per week more
than is earned under the present sys-
tenn. There are now a number of
vacant positions at the plant, and
preference will be given to all girls
from Pleasantville and vicinity who
apply for employment. This is a
home industry, and an appeal is made
for more general support from the
people of this and adjoining cities.
Under the new management, losses
and shortages have been eliminated
and the quality of the work has been
greatly improved.
