The County System Of Libr.r;,

h County System Of Libraries.
Hand in hand with the establish
ment of public schools throughout the
country has gone the no less educa-
tionally important establishment of
public Libraries. Through the MANI.
ticene Of Mr.. Carnegie and other pri-
ate benefactors and by large public
appropriations all the large cities and
many small cities in the country have
splendidly equipped libraries open
free to the public.
The type Of library too has chang
ed. The library is no longer a small
collection of mouldy classics presid-
ed over by an elderly bespectacled
lady, knitting during the long inter-
walls between calls for books. 1t is
q great compendium of inf nation
in which the scientific man can find
the latest works on science; the man.
ufaeturer can secure the latest re-
ports on iron and steel and cotton:
the farmer is brought in touch with
the latest agricultural publications.:
the teacher gains access to the edu-
cational thought of the world; the
business man learns the best meth
DDS of advertising and craftsmanship;
the editor can thumb the pages of
hles of newspapers; the high school
student can be sure of his collateral
reading; and the old fashioned gen
eral man can browse at will through
the classics Of the ages. Library
ship is now a well recognized pro-
fession, and the aspirant must under
go a long, arduous, technical train
ing.
In Mississippi there are several ex-
cellent city libraries; but where the
population of a state is SO largely
rural, the city library is insufficient
for the needs of the people. Many
states have state commissions which
circulate package libraries through
out the state; but since the source
of supply is SO far from the general
reader, this, too, in a rural state is

MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your lows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with 3. A. Thomas

very ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only, of course,

Basel, Switzerland, Oct. 24.-(Ha-
vas AFTER the speech of Prince

the name of the Centrist party, read
a statement in the reichstag ask
ing that the reform OF the consti-
tuition of the empire be extended so
that war cannot be declared with
out the consent - the reichstag.
He added that if peace with the en-
tente allies is not possible. the gov
eminent will have to call on the
last man for the defense of Ger
many.
Deputy Ebert, majority Socialist,
declared the German people would
no longer permit themselves to be
without the right to decide their
own fate. Friedrich Naumann,
Radical, said he considered peace
impossible by military means and
that Germany must use her dipIo-
matte resources to end the war.
Count Won Westarp, Conservative,
declared his party would not vote
for the constitutional reforms pro
posed by the chancellor because it
considered them dangerous.

BYRON BRADLEY
DEAD AT ISLAND
Popular Moline Lad Succumbs to
Pneumonia ut Rock Island
Arsena at Midnight

Byron Wayne Bradley. son Of Mr..
and Mrs. W. \. Bradley, 1S43 Four
teenth street, Moline, died after
several days of pneumonia, at Rock
Island arsenal post hospital at
II.45 last evening. Bradley, one 80
Moline's most popular lads and
known 10 all his associates for his
kind personality, was member Of
the medical department for nearly
six months
He was born July Is. 1897. a.
Centerville. Iowa. There he receiv-
ed his elementary education and six
years ago moved TO Moline with mis-
parents. He attended the Moline
high school for three years and was
in attendance at the Augustau4
academy for one year He also was
enrolled al Lake Forest academy
He formerly was in the insurance
business with offices in the Peoples
bank building. Moline and was also
identified with an automobile con
Germ in Chicago. Prior to his en-
listment was engaged in govern
ment work in the east. He enlisted
in the medical department of the
United States regular army on May
8, 1918. After having undergone
an operation, upon the advice of
army officers, he was admitted in
the service.
The parents and a sister, Betty
Patricia. are the immediate survtv-
oTs. Funeral arrangements will be
announced later.
The following tribute is paid PIT
waite Bradley by a comrade:
Because of the generous heart
that burned within him. because OF
the many kindly words and acts
which he quietly distributed each
day with a smile that was more
contagious than the disease that
laid him low. Byron or 'Beeb,' as
ii was our wont to call him, was
beloved by those Of US who worked
with him each day at the task of
keeping the soldier fit. Possessed
of a more than usual knowledge of
medicine he fully realized the dan
gers that confronted the medical
soldier at this critical time. yet by
no word or sign did he give evi-
dence of the fact. 'Beeb's blonde
curls and CHEEKY laugh seemed to
breathe OF Optimisf and put courage
into the hearts Of those who gave
vent to our fears of that more
dreaded enemy.
And then when came the day
that shadow hand was laid upon
his shoulder he recognized it with
4 smile and made a soldiers fight
he was lost
Il remember the first morning
that found his body racked with
fever and too weak to more than
lift his head. As usual his first
thoughts were of others and he
awakened me from my sleep with
CHEEKY voice that | might not miss
my breakfast SO It was through
out that losing battle. not a word
Of complaint. but just thoughts of
mother. father and friends.
But Beeb's battle was not fought
IN vain, for today the memory O.
him remains as in inspiration for
those Of US must carry on the work
and we glory in the fact that lie
died a soldier and q man"
