LIBRARY TANNED
WITH BOOKS; STORE
SECURED FOR EXCESS
Bessemer Drive for War Lii
brary Now in Progress.
With Ben G. Perry Di-
rector of Campaign

The public library is simply jammed,
crammed with books. The problem OF
taking care of them was becoming more
and more acute yesterday, and when re-
tports began to come in of the collections
waiting at the public schools, the library
authorities simply threw up their hands.
They said that if another book came in
fhey would have to suspend themselves
from the ceilings to work on them. So
something had to be done.
There is a conveniently located vacant
store on the Fourth avenue side of the
city hall, and the Librarians began to
turn greedy eyes on this great. yawning
space. so the Jemison Real Estate COM
Ipany was turned to. They sent over the
keys without hesitation, and in ten min-
lutes the city hall janitorial force vas
engaged in sweeping out the new library
annex. Tables and chairs were installed,
and books are being piled there at an
astonishing rate of speed.
The schools have made splendid coiec-
Itions, Lakeview leading with far more
THAN 1900 and the others following re-
specially close.
Volunteers are still needed for pasting
bookplates and pockets, that the ship
ments may be speeded up. About 2o0l
books are packed and ready to start on
their journey, and the library workers
say they don't miss them."s
DRIVE IN BESSEMER
As Mrs. Nora Golson, librarian of the
Bessemer library has long been i'll, there
was delay in launching the book drive
| for soldiers in Bessemer. Ben G.. Perry
has been appointed campaign director
for Bessemer, and the campaign is now
started, to be continued throughout the
week.
Mr. Perrys ASSISTANTS are w. 5.
WEIGH, I. T. Huey and w. II. II. Jud
| son. Many Bessemer citizens have al
ready collected books, and these win be
sent to the public library where voiun-
teers will sort them and prepare the de-
sirable material for shipment
| From the interest manifested on the
part of the patriotic people of Bessemer
the campaign there will come up, proper
tionately, to that of Birmingham, just
| drawing to close, and which surpassed
even the most sanguine expectations.

French assault might be launched.

My dear Mr.. Lucas:

My dear Mr. Lucas:
/ have just finished reading Good
Roads in Florida" in which Tarpon
Springs has received quite considera-
bic and generous mention, thanks to
the efforts of few of our public spir-
fted citizens whose names / ann not
permitted to mention. There is some
mighty good dope in this little maga-
Zine which should be of inte1est to
automobile owners, and in fact to ev-
eryone interested directly or Indirect
ly in the future growth of this great
state of Florida. That the automobile
IS, and is going to be an important
factor in this future development can
not be questioned. Good roads and the
automobile have put thousands Of
places on the map. Touring from the
North this year is fifty per cent great
er than ever before, and it win keep
getting bigger, each year as the road
conditions improve and paople from the
North find they can make the tour
comfortably over good roads.
