COUNTRY LIBRARIES

You do lot solve every problem in
life by giving people more money.
They want a chance for mental
growth and for diversions.
1t is the belief of The Silver State
that one of the soundest means for
building up community life is the Ii
brary. When you place entertaining
and instructive books within easy
reach of a community, you will quiet
a lot of discomfort. Young people
appreciate library privileges, and
when one is within reach they will
pass many pleasant hours looking
over books and magazines. When
they have once formed a taste for
good reading they have acquired a
lifelong resource ON which they car
fall back in lonely hours. Also the
people who form the reading habit
learn what is going on in the world,
and are better prepared to protect
their own interests and to build up a
good business.
In Massachusetts, the state law has
established a library in every town
ship. Few other states have gone as
far as that, but most of them are
making some move to found more Ii
braries in country districts. In some
localities plans have been made for
distribution of books by wagon in the
outlying districts.
1t does not cost much money to
start a little library. When once a
small building is erected, and towns
and cities establish regular contribu-
tions of new books, the library begins
to grow. Gifts of books can usually
be had by a campaign for such dona-
tons.
Getting the building is the first
problem. Every town without a Ii
brary should have some former or
present resident generous enough to
give one. Every progressive town
should have its public library.

SHIPMENTS OF FURS FROM
NEVADA ARE VERY LARGE

Many permits to ship furs from Ne
vada to various parts of the United
States, and in one instance, to Cana
la, have been granted by C. W. Gro
yer, state game warden, according to
4 special dispatch from Carson City
O the Reno Gazette. Most of the per-
mits come from Humboldt and Elko
counties and permits to ship beaver
hides predominant, the closed season
having been raised on January /. The
largest single shipment of beaver
hides was eleven. Petitions for the
,hipment of muskrat hides ranked Sc
cond on the list. The state warden
says all federal game wardens re-
quire such permits to be granted and
failure to get such permits from the
state warden lays the shipper liable
TO arrest and prosecution under the
federal laws. The permits are granted
without charge.
