COULD NOT DISL0DGE ROCK
shire Hills, She Evidently Put
II There 20 Stay.

The famous "balAnced rock" near
LanesbOr0, Mass. IN the historic Berk-
shires, is one NJ the strange sights OF
this region of hidden mountain caves,
snow-cappei hills and folklore that
rivals fiction. This rock, which weighs
several tons, is apparently in pre-
carious position on the sheer edge OF
another rocky formation beneath It..
One would think that very slight
push indeed would dlslodge 1t from
Its position.
Balanced rock" is located on Con-
stitutiOn hill, the eminence named
after Constitution" Smith, who was
Instrumental in ratifying the Amsri-
can Constitution. An old farmer OF
Lanesboro thought he could pull bal
aneed rock" from Its position by har-
Messing up several pairs Of oxen, at
taching a chain to the rock and hav-
ing the animals strain on the rock
together. The experiment failed. The
rock could be rocked back and forth,
but could not be dislodged.
The Ice flow Of the glacial period
Ia believed to have been responsible
for placing the huge rock In it's pres
ent position.

GOOD BOOKS AT
ALL CROSSROADS
American Library Association
Urges Adoption of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the P:oneer-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 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 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
~ have adopted and are supporting the
system at trifling 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
tention of those in 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 erecti% Of a library
building and the stocking of its shelves.
In many cases the tools already exist.
From this central station books viii
be loaned TO designated outpost sta
tons. 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, 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 It's 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 force to be
reckoned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of S2,OO0,OOO There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will be raised by the libra
rians, library trustees and friends of
libraries. The movement for better
citizens and well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

DAVID P. BENTLEY
An Aged Citizen of Wausau
Passed Away Sunday, Feb.
20, 1920

One of Wausau's oldest settlers
passed away at the County hospital
where he had been for treatment, on
Sunday morning at $50 o'clock. He
had been Ill for a number of years
his troubles mostly incident to his
advanced years.
doc" Bentley, as he was Familiarity
known to our citizens, was a promi-
nent figure of Wausau in the pioneer
days of the pinery. He had resided
here and at Stevens Point and Scho-
field for II years. He was a man OF
very positive ideas and strong in his
likes and dislikes, making strong and
lasting friendships. He was widely
known in the valley. In his young
manhood he worked in the woods, on
the river and in the fields, later he
owned and operated a stage line be-
tween Wausau and Stevens Point. He
did considerable freighting on the riv-
er in boats and especially on the Big
Eau Pleine river.
David Prior Bentley was born on the
5th day of May, 1849 at CORVALLIS,
Nova Scotia. At the age of fourteen
he went to Stanley, Canada, with his
parents and when fifteen years of age
he came to Darien, Wis, where he
worked on a farm. At the age of
eighteen he came to Wausau and en-
tered vigorously into the life of lum-
herman. Wausau was a very small
village when Mr.. Bentley came here.
ALI of the places of business were on
Forest street west of Third down to
Main, north on Main to Washington
- H. 81
the Guard lock, and the road contin-
ued on from there to the north. There
was nothing on the West side only
here and there a small farm building
or on Clarkes island Mr.. Bentley was
an able, strong, and active man and
as such helped to develop our city
and county.
He was a veteran of the civil war,
entering the rebellion the first year and
continuing for four years in the Sth
independnt battery of Wisconsin light
artillery. When he returned from the
war he owned and conducted a stage
line between Wausau and Stevens
Point. When the railroad came into
Wausau, he went into the numbering
business and for many years followed
that business until he took up his
home in Wausau and retired.
On the 7th day of August, 1856, he
was united in marriage with Miss
Mary Wylie, of Stevens Point. Mrs.
Bentley was a woman of learning and
splendid judgment, and she, as well
as her husband became prominent citi-
zens in those early days of the valley.
Mrs. Bentley died on the 14th day of
August, 1896. Deceased is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. G. E. Huntoon
of Wausau and Miss M. LaPearle Bent
ley OF Chicago, and two sons, d. w.
Bentley of Kenosha and ]. B. Bentley
of Odanah, all of whom were in at
tendance at the funeral, also the fol-
lowing grandchildren: Hugh Bentley
of Green Bay and Ruth Bentley of
Kenosha.
The funeral srvices were conducted
this morning at 10 o'clock from the
undertaking parlors of Ritter and
Deutsch, the Rev. d. j. Williams Of
floating. Interment was in Pine
Grove cemetery.
The pallbearers were: c. H. Veg
mr., w. B. Scholfield, J. N. Manson,
Henry Seim, Judd Alexander and R. H.
Johnson.

American Library Association In
augurates Nationwide "Books
for Everybody" Movement.

Social Problems Can Be Solved
by Teaching American Ideals
and Traditions.
WILL AID FOREIGN BORN.

The spirit of unrest that has been
sweeping the country indicates that
the foreign born, who have fiocked to
the United States from every corner OF
the globe have not been given the
proper help and encouragement, n the
opinion of the 1000 librarians who
make up the American Library AssocI-
alton and who are now enlisted In a
Books for Everybody" movement.
The effort is a concerted movement
to carry out the Enlarged Program
which the association has adopted.
There are approximately fifteen mil
lions of foreign born in the United
States and of this number six millions
do not read or speak the English Ian
guage One phase of the Enlarged
Program will be to bring the publisher
and translator together with the iew
Of furnishing the proper books In suf-
ticient numbers TO carry the message
of American ideals and traditions to
this vast army of uniformed peo-
pie. They have been largely dependent
upon the foreign press for their writ
ten messages. Many men who live
with their fingers on the pulse of cur
rent events are firmly convinced that
a sound foundation I'm Americanism
can be easily built among the foreign
born e the proper literature is placed
within their reach in language they
can understand
No Drive to Be Held.
In order to carry out the Enlarged
Program two million dollars will be
required. This money win not be
sought through the medium of a cam
paign or an intensive drive, but will
be obtained through the individual eff
forts of the librarians, library trustees
ana friends of libraries. The Amer
lean Library Association will bend
every effort to bring about the ma
tion-wide adoption of each OF the
cardinal points in the Program, which
includes the extension Of the county IL
brary sytem and the establishment of
more Industrial and business Libraries.
1t now has In operation book service
to the United States Merchant Marine,
Coast Guard, Lighthouse Service and
hospitals of the United States Public
Health Service. The needs Of the
$4,000 blind persons in the United
States will be cared for. At present
the number of books available is woe
fully inadequate. This will be reme-
died and the joys of good literature
will be brought into lives that are
darkened by a veil which will never
be raised by any other method.
Not all the work of Americanization

There are important mining states
where less than a score of Libraries
