The first Joint library institute for
/ Ashland, bayfield, and Iron counties
was held at Ashland on Saturday.
March 9th. under the direction of Mr.
+ Rice, the state librarian. The infor-
nation and data presented by the
speakers showed gratifying increase
/ in the amount of reading whichis be
! ing done and the nature of the books
which aIo being drawn. At the same
/ time some very helpful suggestions
were given pointing out where the
I school libraries could be improved
/ The results of surveys disclosed the
/ fact that the amount of reading being
/ done by the patrons of the state COW
/ ers wide range, reaching from one
/ district IN nearby county, where not
/ one parent had read book during an
entire year, to other communities
/ where ninety eight percent of the pa
/ irons were drawing library books each
/ week. Since the Free Travelling Lii
/ brary Commission of Wisconsin has
! been established there is no excuse
/ for any district being without neces-
/ sary reading material, Books are fur
nished by this commission to entire
/ schools, clubs, or to individuals by
merely making application, and pay
/ ing transportation one way. The lat
est. books can always be obtained
from this source as we'll as all stand
ard works and reference material
along my line OF study desired.
We are glad to say that there il
scarcely district in Iron county
where travelling library has not been
+ Installed. In the Mercer district the
+ report shows that niuetv-six percent
/ OF the patrons are making use of the
/ library books obtained through the
school.

deeper voices, stronger bodies. more en-
durance and more fight than in the Gale

Germans call the kilties. can yell and

Burke and Shea never say die, as long
as they can keep the spirit of the old
warriors within them. The Scotch and the
Irish and the lank Yankees and the hardy
American Highlanders are all first class
fighting men. quick TO think and TO act
and all with apples of the First Man
bullying from the corded necks.
The United States owes much to the
Scotch and Irish and TO that cross OF
fight and fury. the Scotch-Irish. Those
races have permeated the country AL
though the language and the traditions OF
this country are essentially Anglo Saxon,
the Scotch and the Irish have impressed
themselves on the nation in many ways.
Some of the best and hardest of the
two races found their way into the noun
tains of the South, where they did won
derful work against the British in the
war of the American Revolution. They
went as pioneers and trappers INTO the
wilds of the West And these men with
thews of steel are often pictured with
their hunting shirts thrown back and
revealing the Adams apple in full view.
Some of the best fighters in the Ameri-
can army to-day are those lean, lank
descendants of the pioneers for whom

They may be loose jointed and long
necked, but they have wills Of iron and

the best kind of brains.

In the worlds elder DAYS men were not
ashamed TO be seulptured or painted with
the apple of Adam on parade. Few
painters, no photographers, hardly any
sculptors Of this century have the courage
to present their subjects with this badge
of manhood. The photographer will rob
a man of the apple in the process of re-
touching.
Ii was not 80 when Julius Caesar was
alive as witness the busts of him with
the knob in the throat clearly Indicated.
BY CHANGING at the busts of great leaders
of Greek and Roman progress one may
see many of the enlarged prominences Of
the larynx. Does not Rodin give a strong
Adamic feature to the throat of his per
feet man Of the Age of Bronze?
The Adams apple is 50 strong an
American feature that we are likely 10
take too much credit to ourselves about
it. 1t is one of those benign fruits of CIV
iIization which are distributed among
other highly cultivated races that have re-
tanned their pristine vigor. Eoltaire, that
great thinker of France, had a gnarled
and knobby throat. So did Benjamin
Franklin. The busts of Gen Washington
known to have been made from life show
the Adams apple very carefully modelled.
These men came from different racial
strains, but their ancestors were distin-
guished by great endurance and intelli
gence Were it not for the fact that
many men of the Towering times of art
and literature and politics wore stocks, the
extent of their endowments could be more
easily detected from their pictures.
1t may seem unnecessary TO give credit
to race which can so well take care Of
itself. but as matter of fact the Scotch
got more of the apple of Adam than any
one else. The great father of mankind
was eager 10 get all there was and the
Scottish strain has always remained true

mood and heard the arguments with
applause and laughter Women packed
the galleries. It was a field day for
the suffraEists and huoyant with tn"
expectation of victory they made tn"
most of the occasion.
