Purpose And System Of
State Library Explained

The State Library does not loan books
directly to people who live in town
which have public libraries, but lends
through those libraries. The people in
Medford, Ashland, Salem, The Dalles,
Baker, sll have exactly the same use
of the State Library, as they apply to
their own librarians for the books. If
the book is in the Public Library it is
not necessary for them to make appli-
cations to the State Library, but if it
is not, the librarian always tell the
borrower that she win ask the State
Library to loan the book to her library
for his use, and every Public Library
in the state has this sign near fSs loan
desk, ''This library is station of the
Oregon State Library which loans books
free of charge throughout the sratc. If
you do not see the books you need, ask
tc have them borrowed from the State
Library, through this library, for your
use. This rule applies to Salem, as
well as to other towns. If it were not
applied it would be necessary for the
State Library to keep two Or three peo-
pie simply to wait on local borrowers
and the Salem Public Library would be
greatly weakened through TINS eompe-
ton. 1t is the object of the State Ii
brary SIMPLY to reinforce and supple
ment the Public Libraries in the state,
and to loan books Directly upon request,
to al those people who live in the coun-
try or in towns which do not have Pub
lie Libraries The State Library is sort
of a wholesale or iobbing library, which
lends through Public and Travelling Ii
people throughout Marion and PJikSU
braries Us far as possible, Country peo-
pie throughout Marion and Polk coun-
ties do call directly at the library for
their books and books are also loaned
directly to teachers, state officials, min
listers, and others who are doing in.ei-
lectual work, who are familiar with the
Pubic Library and know its contents
and limitations. Arrangement is made
with the librarian of the Salem Library
whereby these use their cards at the
State Library. There is no intention OF
restricting the use of the books OF the
State Library. They are free to all
citizens of Oregon. 1t simply Is y qnes-
ton of the method of lending the books,
and it has been necessary because OF
lack of help to lend through other Ii
braries, and to make this service as sim,
pie and effective as possible. All read
ers are welcome at the State Library
and the librarians are at all times
pleased to show people what they have
on any subject, and to have people come
in to browse among the books. 1t is a
great pleasure to feel that the people
have an opportunity to see the mum
bers Of new books which are received
at the State Library. This statement il
made because someone was refused q
book Saturday and thought the ruling
unjust. The librarian will be glad tc
see the person who had this refusal al
there was misunderstanding.

Says Exporters Should
Extend Time For Payment
On Goods Shipped to Brazil

Rio De Paneiro, Mar. 22.-J. E. Phil
ippi, United States commercial attache
said today that exporters should ex-
tend the time for payment on shpi-
Nments of goods to Brazil in order to
avoid cancellation of many contracts.
! "The port is becoming congested
with merchandise, much of which has
ibeen rejected by the eonsignees,' said
iPhilippi. "Some of the dealers have
good grounds for their action while
Others are merely taking advantage Of
technicalities. But the rejection of
goods is largely due to the fear Of fall
ing prices and the impossibility Of pay
ing Immediately the duty on shipments
which are greatly in excess of ordi-
mary requirements.

WHERE THE CHERRY
BLOSSOMS BLOW

Oh, Pm going back to Salem,
Where the cherry blossoms blow,
Where the rippling, sparkling waters
OF the fair Willamette flow.
Where the evening ocean breezes
Fan The worker S cherry face;
Yes, I'm going back to Salem
To that happy, honey place.
There no crowded city's trav 'lers
Pass you by with weary frowns,
But the laughoing peaks Of mountains
Greet you in your daily rounds.
Where your next-door-neighbor knows

And extends friendly hand,
Yes, IN going back to Salem
