HRRARY NOTES

The Library hours have been tenn
porarily shortened on account of the
fuel shortage. Until the coal famine
is over the hours will be from two un-
til five p. m. every day except Sundays
and holidays.
About a hundred books on art and
music have been added to the shelves
recently.
The Library has received from the
"Grolier Society" a new up-to-date
history of the world in fifteen vol
umes. It is easy reading, well illus
trated, and when completed will con-
tain history of the ''World War"
In the Juvenile department there
has been added two new sets of en-
cyclopedia, some books of fiction and
full new set of Bedtime Stories"
By the death of Andrew Carnegie
we have lost the most famous and
practical philanthropist the world has
ever known. His gifts to the public
have exceeded in amount those of any
other known person. He gave over
Fifty Million dollars to libraries and
it was through his generosity that our
own was made possible. His gift to
the city of Hays for a Public Library
was Eight Thousand dollars. This is
one of the prettiest and best OF the
small libraries of western Kansas. Mr..
Carnegie gave also half of the neces-
sary amount to install the beautiful
pipe organ in the Lutheran Church.
Through his benefcience the Public
Library has become a prominent in
stitution and those towns which did
not accept his aid have at least been
stimulated to provide one Or to better
those already organized Professional
training for libraries has been en-
couraged and the architecture has
been almost standardized by the activ-
tiles of the Carnegie Commission.
This man has erected to his name
monuments which are immortal, and
the benefit to Hays and the surround
ing community from our library can
not be estimated.

About True Love

True love is nothing but friendship
highly intensified; favored with senti-
ment, spiced with passion, and sprin-
kled with the star dust of romance.
1t is no deeper than your capacity
for friendship No higher than your
ideals, and no broader than the scope
of your vision. ***

Governor Allen in his successful
fight against the "Autocracy of Union
Labor" has achieved a victory for
right, justice and humanity, that will
rebound greatly to his credit. He left
no stone unturned that would facil-
itate the mining of coal for the suffer
ing people of Kansas. The people
ought to be and are proud of our
nervy Governor. Had Allen not lick
ed Howat and his gang-which in
cludes the "coal barons"-to a stand
still, the citizens would be suffering
for fuel His energy and grit have
saved the day and made his name a
household word not only in Kansas,
but in every state in the Union. Any
thing Governor Allen wants at the
hands of the sovereign voter of Kan
sas, he can have for the asking.

The people all over the world who
were trembling at the APPROACH of
December 18th, are all smiling today.
They know they are "out of the
woods" The planet scare is about
like the comet scare Of few years
ago when certain scientists predicted
dire things would occur in the passing
of that celestial body. But nothing
happened The old world will no
doubt be doing business as it has been
doing for thousands of years yet, long
after many succeeding generations
have crumbled to dust. A lot of star
gazers were up early Wednesday
morning, the writer among the num-
Der, but all failed to see anything
much out of the common and during
the morning you could see punches of
people on the streets looking at star
near the moon, which to our PER
SONAL knowledge has been in the
same identical position for the last
1000 years The only reason they
have not seen it before is the majority
of them have not been gazing heaven
ward. Their thoughts have been of
the "earth earthly" We read in the
book of books: ''Dust thou art and
into dust thou shalt returneth." But
hold on, we are digrssing- the

that text to Brother Snapp or the rest
of the clergymen, for next Sundays

Wednesday just before time was
called at the Free Press office, the
linotype operator remarked that Gov
erno1 Henry Allen was something like
the Henry Ford car, when he started
to do anything, he always got
there and came back-Hurrah for
Henry Allen. Just then the Catholic
church bell rang and every whistle
in the city blew, and strange as it
may seem, Ford car that was pass
ing, sounded its siren.
