Martin LIE Febyre

Little Martin lie Febvre passed

illness Of three weeks from influenza

8 years old at the time of his death.
Besides his mother he leaves q

Funeral services were held at the
Ross undertaking rooms on Decem-
Der 22, and the interment was in the
Bogus Brook cemetery. Rev. o. a.
Sratuch Of Zion German Lutheran
church conducted the solemnities.
Martin was a bright, sunny-disposi-
toned little boy and a great favorite
among his schoolmates, who will miss
his presence. Tt is a pity that his
young life was cut down, but death
has all seasons for its own, and the
Lord knows that which is best.

at Eckartsau or the kaiser who waits
in Holland.
The pope also said he hoped his
work henceforth Knight be an echo
OF the decisions Of the peace confer
ence. The whole tenor Of what is
reported Of his words is that he in
tends to work for the erection of a
permanent peace, and not lend himself
to any plans to restore the state Of
things which made this war not only
possible but sure to come. This is
what the allies are seeking.
He recognizes, too, the economic
questions brought up by the war, and
the social issues, by saying that he
would labor for "the protection and
direction of workers and the counsel
ing of the wealthy classes for the good
use of their wealth and authority .
Altogether it is forward-lcoking
declaration, and it is of very great i'm
portance in this time to have so pro-
gressive pope as Benedict XIV.

Roads to the Farmers Gate.
All the publicity possible should be

mapped out, instead Of interfering in
any way with general road construc--
ton under existing law, creates an ar
terial system of about 5000 miles OF
road which will be built and main
tanned at state expense, without touch:

building Of roads connecting UP the

Some Of the informed aliens are not

said that he would do all in his power

MORE J, BOOKS NEEDED
Princeton Public Library Board Would
Very Gladly Receive Works
of Standard Authors.
Library Contains Excellent Selection
But Efforts Are Being Made,
to Add to Number.

Cur public ibrary-in common with
all places of public meeting-was
closed for two months on account of
the epidemic Of influenza. During this
time new shelving was added to &C
commodate the. ever increasing num-
Der of Volumes.
The librarian, Mrs. Mary Lynch,
with the help Of some of the members
Of the library board, took advantage
of this period to recatalogue all the
books so that the opening day-last
Saturday-found the library in ship
shape condition with hundred more
books on the shelves than were there
when the library was closed.
Miss Baldwin of the state library
was here on visit Of inspection in
August, and, during her stay, culled
out about one hundred books. Some
OF these were not considered suitable
= reading, but most of them were con-
Jdemned on account of their extreme
'shabbiness. Since that time not only
have the hundred volumes been re-
placed but at least another hundred
have been added. These books range
from the heavier literature, suitable
for reference books, such as the Cen
tuary Dictionary, in four volumes,
which was gift from the Mankato
library, to some of the latest fiction.
Some have been purchased by the
I library board but most of them have
been donated. The response to the
gall for the books to be used for ref
frence in the high school was very
gratifying but many more of these by
standard authors are needed. Some of
$ our public-spirited citizens have been
very generous in their donations of
books, but there are likely many more
who have books lying idle who would
gladly give of these books did they
but, realize what useful purpose
they might be serving.
i. That the "fve-cent shelf" is prov
ing popular is attested by the fact that
the toll, though small, keeps suffi-
gent sum accumulated for the con-
kstant replenishing of this shelf with
ebooks of the later fiction.
Is When the money appropriated by
the village council this year becomes
available, some time during 1919, the
library can be much more literally
a stocked, but as it is there is very
sSseditable showing considering that
/ 81 ing the year and half since our
tic library was established. war
4 !: has been paramount in our in
Is. During this time the number
q Tunes has increased from about
4 lie hundred to twelve hundred.
Besides these books, owned by the
library, and the two travelling libraries
loaned by the state, which are changed
every six months, there are eighteen
periodicals which are subject to circu-
lation after they have been retained
for reading purposes in the library
for reasonable length of time.
