ed, and 3 7sent to the bindery. The
high cost of binding and low funds
have prevented having the magazine
bound.
General Work
The story hours. Which have an
average attendance OF 35, have kept
in circulation the hest of children
books.
Special lists of books have been re-
served for the school pupils for sup
Elementary reading and the quality
and quantity leased this year has
been the greatest in the history of
the schools.
To supply the great sdemand, the
late magazines We're leased for Sun
day reading and two travelling IL
braries containing 81 volumes were
leased from the South Dakota free
library commission.
The old magazines presented to the
library, greatly assisted in completing
the files. and the duplicate copies were
leased for home reading. Old school
books, presented were sold and the
money placed in the book fund.
The library parlor has been the
home of the girl scouts, and used by
the rural nurse for the home nursing
study clubs and the Women's, Chris
tian Temperance Union.
Every department of the library
has been well ~patronized, and every
class of reading has been strength
ened to meet the demand Of the peo-
pie of the community. The library
now contains books Of every class of
reading, philosophy, religion, socio-
logy, natural science, useful art, fine
art. literature, history, travel, bio
graphy and fiction. Every citizen has
the privilege of examining the vol
umes and selecting books to read for
pleasure or for profit.
The fact that the non-fiction and
literature is sixty per cen Of the cir
Culation proves that the community
is not only using the library for plea
sure but for educational advance
ment.
The year has been a pleasant and
Very busy one. ! take this opportuni-
ty Of thanking the teachers and sis
tiers for their kind cooperation in the
work and the library Trustees and city
council for their encouragement in
all my undertakings. The express
sicns of appreciation from the pa
irons have made the work a pleasure
and greatly encouraged me in the
work for the coming year.
Respectfully submitted,
Minnie Shannon, Librarian.

The store Of Fred Maurice, on
the depot corner, was broken
into Monday night about 1890.
The thief broke the glass at the
front door and then turned the
lock. The electric light from
the street shines full on the
front door, making the robbery
all the more bold. The thief
took four or five dollars in
change from the drawer, and
about twelve auto tires. Two
were Portage tires, 30x3 IL;
and eight were Diamond 30x3.

Poor Excuse for Show.

The Sanger Show visited
Rockingham last Saturday, and
it was a small, a very small, af-
fair. The Post-Dispatch had
declined to print the glowing
advertisement that the advance
manager brought the paper, this
paper believing that such ad-
vertisements were a misrepre-
sentation. And yet some folks
think a newspaper will adver-
tise anything, just so it is paid
for.
