LAND FAMOUS FOR CASTLES
Descriptions Can Be Found
in the Tyrol.

The chief stock In trade of the Tyrol
Is Its collection of castles. 1t has over
500 specimens, all of which at one time
or another belonged to the best fam
ilies. All stages of decrepitude and
picturesque decay are preserved. Few
travellers with a fondness for castles
leave the Tyrol without buying or
planning TO buy, small or very RICK
ETY. one at bargain.
Some of the best castles in the Ty-
rOl have hung diZzily on the edge Of
high precipices for hundreds of years.
Occasionally a stone slips out Of place
and dislOcates some ones neck. 9th
erwise they are guaranteed to be per-
fectly' safe for visitors, though a trifle
inaccessible You may lave TO climb
tree and swing off or shin upa rope
I'm order TO reach the castle, but If you
do manage to land safely you are re-
warded by the feeling that you are one
of the chosen few who have viewed
that particular medieval residence.
1t is not absolutely necessary to
risk broken neck in order to view a
Tyrolese castle. Many of the 500 sam
pies are conveniently located on firm
ground and are satisfactorily romantic
besides. a.. .E. ~
Some Of the castles are disappoint-
ing, notably those which are missing
when you locate them. They are in
the guide book, of course. but either
time has treated the edifice less gently
than 1t has the guide book, or else a
vivid Imagination is taken for granted.
Whatever the explanation. a number
of the castles" are piles of pulverized
rock, and once i'm while even the
rocky remains seem TO have been car
ried away.
On the whole, however, the ruins are
fascinating. Even If owned by an
American millionaire and patched up
by him into cOnglomeration of the
ancient and modern. the Tyrolese cas-
tie manages TO retain its stately Tyro-
lese character.

institution In Mankato Is Free
To Those Living Outside
The CITY

The regular meeting of the public
libfary board was held Tuesday eve
ming. The following members were
present: Messrs. Hancock, Winter,
Krost, Crandell,, Regan and Elach-
seminar. A report of the convention
vas given by the librarian and the
usual business was transacted. The
board members expressed wish that
more farmers would consider this
Their library and make more use OF
Il. Plans were discussed as to the
best way to acquaint the farmers
with the fact that this library is free
to every inhabitant of Blue Earth
county.
The report of the librarian for No
vember was given:
To the Board of Directors: Gentle
mon: Herewith is submitted the re-
port of the Mankato public library
for November, 1919.
Mss Balm and Miss Butcher at
tended the Minnesota Library asso-
citation in Minneapolis November 8
to 7. The meetings we're wei at
tended and proved most interesting
and instructive.
The joint meeting with the Min
nesota Educational association was
PECULIARLY fitting this year because
of the new organization. According
to the laws of 1919, the functions,
powers and duties OF the state library
commission and its appointees are
vested in the newly created state
board OF education with Mr.. j. NJ.
Mcconnell at the head. The exist
ence OF the library commission as a
board terminated July 81, 1919. The
work of the commission will be con-
tinued as the library division OF the
department of education, including IN
its field school libraries as well as
public and travelling Libraries.
One of the most entertaining re-
ports was given by Miss Clarke of
Hibbing. She told about the 'Hib-
bling Bus" which has proved an un-
qualified success in that region. A
two ton motor bus has been equipped
with shelved On both sides, leather
cushioned seat at the rear, and a
librarians seat and desk back of the
drivers seat. There is a shelf
capacity for from 1,200 to 1,5O0 books
and sufficient floor space to accom-
modate ten or more people at one
time. The route includes twenty
seven locations. Three to five are
visited in one day. so that each place
is reached once week. In this way
the library is reaching foreign born
men and women who would never
come to the central library.
Two of the points especially en-
phasized were, the establishing OF

library to be recognized as one OF
