might select books for their branches.
| From their selections the first book
\ orders were made. 1t was planned
to send to each branch during the
first year one-fourth as many books
as population in the neighborhood
and increase the number as fast as
more books were available As Il
turned out much larger number
was sent.
Special care was taken to send to
the branches the best we could fur.
nlsh in fiction and in live subjects of
the day, as well as books treating OF
the industries of the locality. This
was sometimes difficult, for the 4T3a
books on hand in January had been
accumulat;ng during a twenty year
period and many were passe. We
wanted each smaller place to feel
from the start that the county IL
orary meant up-to-date service
Therefore. of the s13S new books ac-
cessioned the first year. a good por-
ton went into the county shipments
AT the same time Pendleton was be-
ing served with more new books than
ever before, owing to the more gen
erous book fund available from the
combined county and city budget
Weekly reports on the Gaylord sta
tistic slips are sent from each branch
to the central library, so that close

needs of all communities.
Financing the Branches.-During
1914. while interest was growing in
the country towns, local expenses had
to be met by subscriptions or other
wise. One branch library board gave
a library ball and netted SS5. 90 in
place OF sSe population; one earned
ts2.O0 by a tag sale: one raised $3.50
by giving teas and socials. and an
other gave a dinner at which tSs 90
was cleared. In all 1884 was earn
ed by private efforts the first year
for the benefit of branch libraries.
Meanwhile the city councils had
passed ordinances creating library
boards and ten councils had nameal
the board members. The county IL
brarian then worked out with the To- |
cal boards necessary budgets for each |
place. which were presented to nine |
city councils to include their Novem-
ber levies. Three councils levied two |
tenths OF a mill. one levied one-tenth. |
two levied four-tenthst and three !

Deaths from tetanus have been very
greatly reduced in this country since
Sane Fourth of July celebrations be-
came the general rule,
Back in 1905 there were 104 deaths
in the United States from Fourth Of
July tetanus, this figure representing
about the average annual mortality.
The Sane Fourth has reduced the mum.
Der OF accidents and suitable medical
attention has prevented the develop,
ment OF tetanus in almost every in
stance in recent years.
The blank carridge wound was the
great cause of Fourth of July injuries
but injuries from crackers and fire.
arms were at times responsible. When
driven into tho tissues the wadding
carries with it innumerable bacilli.
Tetanus bacilli thrive only in the abb
sence of oxygen. 1t is for this reason
that the physician enlarges the wound
of entrance and after removing all
foreign material dresses the injury in
such manner that development oil
the organisms is prevented
In order to accomplish this II is usu'
ally necessary to administer an anaes'
thetic. Antitetanic serum is of great
value as a pfophylactic and has been
used with great success in the allied
armies of Europe.
Parents should bear in mind that no
blank cartridge wound is too trivial to
receive medical attention. However
slight the wound may appear physi'
clan should be summoned to admins

treatment may prove disastrous and
result in the needless sacrifice of life.
