libraries outlined by Miss Alice y.
Eaton, the librarian, is being oon-
pleted and If Melrose can be given
the books it will be cared eor as o /
reward of merit. Away back last
spring, when the school term wssl
approaching an end, q delegas1
of youngsters from the MSlsessi
school tramped all the way In 90
the Library to request Miss EaApm,
to give their school one of Ehs
libraries. They were very much ln
earnest about it and some OF them
even offered to help earn money 70
get the books. Unfortunately, there
were a number of schools which
had applied before Melrose for
libraries and the boys were told
things would come around. This
fall the delegation appeared again
and as some readjustments had been
made whereby some of the schools
earlier on the list would be provided
with books they were told that Mss-

the library this month. The install

funds is all that has kept buildings
from getting books, MelroSe among
them.

A Bloomsbury newspaper gives
the following account of a hearing
in which John G.. Harman, a judge
well known to many Harrisburgers
by reason of his service as a legis-
lator, was on the bench:
Judge Harman has returned from
