If West Florida will cast an overwhelm-

Everything that goes into the main

should be the center of co-opera ton
of every club in town. and their pur-

Every library has three kinds of
needs-they are needs which become
conscious wants. Second class needs
are more difficult, which includes the
whole vague class of things that they
ought to have, but the means for pro-
curing same is not worrying them
The dealing with half-felt wants in
any community is delicate task, re-

third task is to make the library meet

resources.

the money saved in this way will be

JOY IN THE YEAR.
lBy Frank Z. Stanton.)

There's joy. my dear, in the noon o
the year,
When the harvest hints of gold
And the soft sun streams with its
CLEANS and dreams :.
On your beautiful hair unrolled!
There's joy, my dear. for the world is
fair,
And Love is the brightest blossom
there!
There's joy. my dear, in the gray o
the year.
When the .sonws are drifting white
And the cold winds cry to the starless
sky,
And the last rose weeps Good
nighti''
There's joy. my dear, for the world is
fair,
And Love like a lily is blooming there!
