PUBLIC LIBRARY IS
AID TO COUNTRY
May ist. 1918.

Editor Courier;
A statement OF the extent TO
which residents OF the county. out
side the city limits. are making use
OF the public library may be OF In
terest at this time.
One year ago the first deposit sta
tion was established and since that
time a total OF over $40 books have
been loaned In groups at different
points In tho county. In this num-
ber are included 1856 volumes which
we're loaned to teachers OF the rural
schools as supplementary aid In
school work. II also includes 90
volumes loaned 10 the soldiers dur
Ing the short time they we're sta
toned on guard at the tunnels last
spring. Beside these two stations at
Leland and Wolf Creek. there have
been four other stations established
-Provolt. Almeda. Waldo mine and
Hugo-at which places 36s volumes
have been used.
From the opening OF the library
the same privileges enjoyed by resi-
dents OF town. have been extended
TO individual borrowers living out
side the city. At present there are
over 230 active cards held by indi-
vidual country borrowers who secure
their books either through the mail
or by calling for them personally
The number loaned In this way
would increase the above figures
considerably n such circulation were
recorded separately for county and
city as In the case OF group loans
This Is not done. the circulation be-
Ing covered by the general statistics
for the year but II is not uncommon
for parcels OF from one to four or
fve books 10 be sent out by post on
individual call.
Another feature OF our work In
the county is the distribution Of
magazines. No record Is kept OF the
number thus given away but guam
titles are so disposed Of and the de-
mand Is always active. n the H.
brary were located In more commo-
dious quarters, the collecting and
distributing Of periodicals could be
organized to give much broader SER
vice.
We consider this showing to be
but beginning and hope to see a
deposit station In every nelghbor-
hood In the county.

Great Whp:f ST. Us
lSOialed.

It's the shortage In ships ,h,t
Is putting the Allies and tile
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks Of wheat nrc lsr
lated In India. and Australia. Al
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to se-
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored 1OO,0OO,0O0 bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of S0.000,-
900 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 10000. 900 bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the Same time, had
10000, 900 bushels Of wheat
stored for export. During April
$4,000. 900 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 11,OOO,OO0
bushels Of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 1S5.0O0,0O0 to
the left over
II Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world--it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of dlvld-
ing our stock with the Allies.
