American Library Association
Urges Adoption of County
Library System. <
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the Pioneer-0ther
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association,
in announcing its 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 solution of the problem of supply
ing good literature 70 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 1894 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 at a trifiing cost This it urges
as 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 Mt
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
tions. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post of
fees, schoolholIses and private home
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 MEM
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 force to be-
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of s2,0OO,0OO. There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rians. library trustees and friends of

Why Farmers Need Money.

sup to the time of the passage of the
farm loan act. the system of farm cred
its in operation in this country was ex-
ceedingly cumbersome. II was so cum
bersome that Il could not furnish the
kind of service the farmer required, at
any price. That is, it could not furnish
loans on the long term amortization
plan. Also the entire field of farm
credits was without anything more
than the most primitive (and therefore
futile) regulation as to rates of inter

"The American farmer is not a pau

ward of the government to be treated
as an irresponsible child"
Such is the statement of W. G. Nc
Adoo, former secretary of the treas

Mr.. McAdoo contended that the
farmer only asks to be permitted to
take his place among the business
men of the nation, where he belongs.
He said that the farm loan act merely
enables the farmer to borrow as a
right-not as favor-adequate funds

agriculture as a great underlying In

congress did contemplate establishing
a practical system OF rural credits by
which the, farmer would be enabled TO

Keeping Country Boy on Farm

1.-THE intent of congress- In passing
the federal farm loan act was not to
bring the city boy back to the country.
as some seem to think, because the
congress, having In its membership
goodly number of men who sprang
from the farm, was fully aware that IL
was folly to expect the city man to
succeed In the country. Rather 1t was
the intent Of congress to keep the
country boy on the farm by making
farming sufficiently profitable to be at
fraetive to an ambitious man of brains,
energy and vision. ! mention this be-
cause some people seem to feel
that the millennium will come the
moment we can get the city boy headed
for the farm. Farmers. however, know
better They know that the success
full, efficient farmer must be made
from the country-raised boy. And all
know that there will be enough farm.
ers, when farming is made profitable
and country life II made attractive.
Neither can be accomplished unless
adequate farm credit can be had ali
the time and on reasonable terms"

as a Federal Reserve in 1872.
 The first permanent fort in Wyoming was erected in 1884 where the Laramie River flows into the Platte. Later when the stream of immigrants passed through this region on their way to the Califor- nia gold fields a string of forts were erected along the Oregon Trail to pro- teet the travellers from attacks by the hostile Sioux Indians.
 Through Wyoming went not only the Oregon Trail, which was opened up by Ut Freenent and his guide Kit Carson in 1S42, but also the Salt Lake Trail Along these routes many travellers cross- ed Wyoming, but few stopped and ser- tied there as the country was the most arid of all our states. The discovery of gold in 1887 led to the founding of South Pass City and in the same year Cheyenne was laid out by the Union Pa cifc Railroad company. Aside from mining there was little else to attract the inhabitants until 1910 when the Sho- shone Dam was opened at Cody and allowed extensive irrigation throughout that portion of the state. This dam is said to be the highest in, the world.
 Wyoming became the 44th state of the Union in 1890 and is eighth in size with an area of 97.914 square miles, Is population gives it an allotment of three Presidential votes. As to it's name this comes from that of Wyoming Valley ia Pennsylvania, which is derived from an Indian 7Aord meaning large plains" or broad valley
