We have added over 200 vols. mostly
gifts. Among those we purchased
were ceyerai war books, Chapman's
bird book, Social Life Of the Insect
World" by Fabre and u manual Of
gardening
We are taking 10 magazines. In
addition we have the Outlook, Liter
AIRY Digest, Survey and Official Bullet
in given us regularly. We have drop
ped the Youths Companion and Nc
Calls, and are taking the Ladies Home
Journal and the Popular Science
Monthly. The latter we hope will be
Of special interest to the boys. We
have loaned 406l books and 1882
magazines. OF the books loaned over
one-third we're non-fction. The cir
culation is gradually increasing. In
two years the advance has been 983
volumes loaned. Our contribution
towards the National Soldiers and
Sailors Library was secured through
Mrs. MuSser's influence with the chill
dren of the village schools. She gave
the children five and ten cents each, as
foundation to build on. They earned
money in different ways, and at the
end Of the time, with the teachers
help, gave an entertainment. The
whole netted about $500.
We We're able to help smaller
library than ou- own, by passing on
over thirty duplicate books and some
magazines, all of which were very
much appreciated.
AS yet we have not raised the price
of library tickets. But the running
expenses are increasing all the time
Books and magazines are higher in
price. Our magazines alone are cost
ing us over $4,000 this year.
We need more adequate heating
plant and should have water. A
library step ladder IS very much need
ed. We are patriotic, and would very
much like flag.
AS an association | think we owe
Mrs. w. L. Kent vote Of thanks for
the very efficient work she has done
here for the past few years. Her in
terest in the library has been express
ed by many hours Of faithful service
1t is very important that the library
should be put onto better financial
basis, and it could easily be done if in
some way more people could be inter
ested in it.

book or more: Mrs. Musser, Mss

WILL not PROTEST
FREE TELEPHONES

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 25.-Objections
TIC the petition of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company's petition in re-
gard to free telephones were with
drawn yesterday by T. t. Miller, at
torney representing the city council of
Columbus, who stated that council
took action against the petitions UNI
der misapprehension as to what the
company intended to do. The case
went to hearing at 10 o'clock before
the railroad commission and an early
decision is expected.
Officials of the company explained
that Attorney Miller's understanding
of the company's intentions was quite
correct Namely, that the company
does not propose or desire to prevent
a man from allowing neighbor to
use his telephone whenever oc-
casion requires, or prevent him from
allowing a caller in his office to use
his telephone. What the company de-
sires to stop is the indiscriminate use
of telephones in drug stores, soda
fountains and other places that were
put there for the convenience of the
public Thousands of calls a day are
made on these free telephones, thus
contributing greatly to the already
enormous overload upon switchboards
and operators. The company has a
clause in its contract limiting the use
of a telephone to the subscriber or
his agent, and it's petition asks the
commission to allow it enforce this
clause.

GETTING READY FOR
NEXT LIBERTY LOAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-Future is
sues Of treasury certificates of indebt-
edness planned in preparation for the
third Liberty Loan will bear an inter
terest rate of 4 IL per cent, or one
half per cent more than.issues of the
immediate past.
This announcement was made by
Secretary McAdoo, together with the
statement that $50O,O00,000 block of
certificates, closed last week, was sub
scribed in full only because banks in
New York and other big financial
centers took more than their share
and offset the scanty subscriptions
from the rest of the country.
About $2,50O,0OO,0O0 in certificates
remain to be issued at the higher rate
before the third loan campaign, prob
ably in April, and the rate for all viii
be IL per cent.
This increase in the rate offers an
indication of the treasury's perspect-
i've on money market conditions which
may affect the next Liberty Loan,
The second Liberty Loan, issued at
4 per cent, was preceded by several
issues of certificates at IL per cent,
but this rate was increased to per
cent for the last blocks before the
second loan. A similar situation pre-
ceded the first loan. In both cases
the interest rate of the loan was the
same as the rate on the last issues
of certificates preceding
Announcement of another issue OF
certificates, part of. the $3,000,000,0 600
certificate program in which banks
have been asked to participate by ap-
propriating l per cent of their total
resources weekly for purchase of the
certificates is expected within another
week.
Receipts from the last issue had
swelled the net balance in the treas,
ury to $916,321 900 today and dis
bursements recently have been about
S40,000,O00 day
Although the number of banks sub
scribing to the last issue of certi-
Gates was twice that for the preceding
block, Secretary McAdoo said "the
amount of subscriptions from the
country at large was distinctly dis
appointing"
1t was disclos by the Secretary
announcement that some banks failed
to respond to the Secretary's appeal
two weeks ago to lay aside at least 1C
per cent Of their resources weekly
for ten weeks to invest in certificates
Another telegram is being sent tC
each Of these banks and the request
will be followed up by the treasury
and thorugh the federal reserve bank
organizations.
Holders of 3 IL per cent bonds o.
tie first Liberty Loan may convert
them into any future issue at a higher
rate of interest, and the per cent
bonds Of the second loan, or convert
ed 3 1-2's may he exchanged for bonds
of the third loan, only unless congress
provides otherwise.
Secretary McAdoo already has con
gressional authority to issue 1885,
100000 more Liberty bonds at a rat:
to be prescribed by him. 1t will be
necessary for him to obtain legislation
for an additional issue if that amount
