Good BOOKS AT
ALL CROSSROADS
American Library Association
Urges Adoption of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the Pioneer-0ther
States Adopting the
Plan.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.

The American Library Association,
in announcing it's Books for Every
body" movement, which is to be nation
wide in its scope, advises and urges the
extension of the county library system
as a solution of the problem of supply
ing good literature 10 the rural dis
tricts. Its intention is to persist in
advocating the nationwide adoption
of the idea as successfully applied in
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one of the 1854 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments of good books are
being made from the central point in
the county to the designated outposts.
California stands out as the highpoint
in the successful application of the
idea. OF the So counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system 1t a trifling cost. This it urges
as a part of its enlarged program which
aims to promote a better citizenship
and to combat the social and industrial
unrest through the teaching of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs Of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside of
the big cities will be called to the at
tention of those in a position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of a library
building and the stocking of its shelves.
In many cases the tools already exist.
From this central station books will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
lions. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post OF whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post of
fees, schoOlhouseS and private homes.
When one shipment has been circulat-
ed and returned another will be sent
out. Also, in communities of any size
in the county, branch Libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with its 1000 active librarian men,
bers and its 40 years Of practical func-
tioning, Is in a position to know the
needs Of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge is a force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of 49, ,O00. There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
Tie money will be raised by the libra,
rians, library trustees and friends OF
libraries. The movement for better
citizens and a well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

MARCH 1-6 WILL Be
THRIFT STAMP WEEK
State School SupeTinten entS
Endorse Movement
ASK TEACHERS TO AID

LEARN Thrift, Teach Thrift, and
Practice Thrift" will be the keynote
of the Thrift Stamp Week, inaugural
ed by the Savings Division of the Unit
ed States Treasury Department TO take
place the first week of March-from
l to 6.
During that week the children of the
United States, their parents and teach
ers will be shown the intrinsic value
of regular and systematic saving and
investment in Government Thrift
Stamps of twenty-five cents value
each.
1t will be an intensive educational
movement based on the actual ale
of the little bonds so as 70 implant
Thrift in the minds of the young in
a practical way. Special advantages
of savings, showing how great things
have been done on small savings in
pennies, nickles and dimes which made
it possible to put up the Woolworth
Building, etc, and how every pupil
can have a personal stake in Uncle
Sans business, will be brought home
to thousands of school boys and girls,
by bankers, business men, club women
and others.
DR.. Thomas e. Finegan, State School
Superintendent of Pennsylvania, has
heartily sanctioned the proposed
movement, saying, "The government
has designated the week beginning
March 1st as Thrift Stamp Week. 1t
is preparing lessons to encourage
thrift and to induce pupils 70 buy
government obligations in form OF
Thrift Stamps. Perhaps the two les
sons most needed in America just now
are-the lesson of thrift, and he les
son of patriotism. 1 trust that you
will give this effort your hearty sup
port and that the intensive education
movement which the government is to
make on Thrift Stamp Week will be
successful" Calvin n. Kendall, Com
missioner of Education of New Jersey,
and A. r. Spaid, Commissioner of Edu-
cation in Delaware, have expressed
similar sentiments, and have eXhorted
the teachers of their states to do their
utmost to make the campaign a sue
cess.
Thrift Stamp Week is designed pri-
marily 70 impress upon the young
sters the habit of putting their saw
ings into Thrift Stamps. The Thrift
Stamp is as much a government secur%
ity as a Liberty Bond. 1t pays no in
terest, but it is the promise of the
government to repay % cents loaned,
and is always redeemable at 70 cents,
through the purchase of a War Saw
ings Stamp.
The youth of the country is already
fairly well fixed in the Thrift Stamp
habit. Scores of schools In each of
scores of cities have 100 per cent of
their pupils enrolled as regular pur-
chasers. l. is hard to be over-optl-
mistic as to the value in the future OF
this habit of safe and steady invest
ment.
Both as a reminder to their elders
and as an immediate. and actual bene-
fit TO the children, Thrift Stamp Week
should have the strongest possible
support.
Every teacher, principal and super
~intendent as well as County Sayings
Chairman and Vice Chairman VIII pc
suDplied with a definite program TO
follow. Together with the co-opera-
tion of other public citizens, they are
expected to make this one of the nm
est movements in spreading he gospel
and virtue of character building by
means of thrift as against waste and
reckleSSneSS.

ESSEX COUNTY
REPUBLICANS TO

Reception to Famous IerSeyman
Arranged for February II.
OF STATEWIDE IMPORTANCE.
Active and Influential Republicans
From All Parts Of New Jersey

Newark.-Under the auspices of the
Essex County Republican Committee
a reception will be given to Mich
olas Murray Butler, candidate for
the Republican nomination for Presl-
dent, at the County Committee head
quarters here Friday night, February
81. Invitations have been sent by
County Chairman Frank L. Davenport
to one thousand influential Republic
ans throughout the State.
This event will be the formal open
ing of the Butler campaign in the ma
tive State of the candidate, and there
Is every indication that a new page
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1920-03-05

will be written in the political history
| of New Jersey before the night is over.
Nicholas Murray Butler was born in
Elizabeth, but the greater portion of
his early boyhood and manhood was
passed in the city of Paterson. His
father was chairman of the Passaic
County Republican Committee and
was also chairman of the New Jersey
Republican State Committee. Mick"
as he is Familiarity called in Paterson,
was president of the Board of Educa-
ton of the city of Paterson and was
also a member of the New Jersey
| State Board of Education.
1t was Garrett P. Hobart who first
suggested a political career to young
Butler, a suggestion which at that time
he could not accept because of his ne
cessity for hard work which would pro-
duce definite financial return. Because
of this he already had sought, found
and efficiently done work in a Pater-
son mill. 1t was this intimate associa-
ton with the working relationships be-
tween employer and employed which
young Butler afterwards used as the
foundation for that study of economic
fact which, in after years, brought him
such an acknowledgment as an expert
in industrial problems that he has
been, in such matters, an adviser OF
every President Of his time except
Woodrow Wilson (Grover Cleveland
tried to make him a member of the
Civil Service Commission) and the o n
slant c~onsultant of Republican plat.
form builders. Probably he has writ
ten more planks for national Republic
an platforms than any other man at
present living.
In addition to the New Jersey Re
publicans who will assemble to honor
Butler on this occasion, there will be
delegations Of prominent party leaders
from New York, Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island and Delaware.
Another feature of the reception will
be the representation Of various
branches of organized labor in north
ern New Jersey. The Butler policy of
adjusting labor troubles by educa-
ton and reason, together with his
analysis of the problem of production,
has attracted labor not only in New
Jersey, but throughout the nation. Mr..
Butler said on this great question:
when industry is viewed as a Co
operative enterprise in production then
it follows that those who work with
their hands, like those who work with
their brains and those who work with
their savings, are entitled to take part
in the organization and direction OF
the industry and to have a voice in de
termining the conditions under which
their cooperation shall be given an6
continued. No matter how many oil
how few persons may have contributed
Of their savings to the organization
and carrying on Of a given industry
that industry does not therefore, be
long in the broad sense of the word Il
them alone; it belongs also to thoss
human beings who cooperate witt
them by aiding In the production Of
goods either by the work Of theil
hands OF by the work Of their brains

Raspberry growers, particularly In

from diseases not thoroughly under

the existence Of the industry, unless
effective methods of control could be
worked out. The United States de-
partment of agriculture has been in
vestigatlng the situation for some time
past and is about to begin more inten-
sive studies. Specialists will spend
practically the entire season in the

Farm buildings usually offer ample
space for the storage of food products
raised on the farm. The cellar of the
house should hold a winters supply

canned fruits and vegetables. as well
as such articles as a barrel of salt
pork, keg Of kraut, and jar of eggs in

the winter season with a well-stocked
