LIBRARY NOTES

Main street consisting of one and
two-story buildings, some with false
fronts, Uttered with Fords and lumber
wagons, flies and dust, ~hOpelessly ugly.
II is not the Main street of Brookings,
but a generic street, belonging to
thousands of small towns all over the
United States. Deadly dull, but incur
ably SNUG, differing in detail, alike
in essentials. The special one which
gives it's name to Sinclair Lewis nota-
bic book belongs to Gopher Prairie, a
Minnesota town. Main Street is the
portrait of a town. and an amazing
study of the girl Carol, the foil and
critic Of that town. The book is alb
sorbing, it is so much like life itself,
so extraordinarily real. The New
York Times says of it, "These people
better dialogue written than their re-
v~ealing talk" William Allen White
says, Main Street" ranks with the
Scarlet Letter" To write such a book
is to be great, but to read such a book
and consider it we'll will be eternally
to the credit of this country. Our town
should vote bonds to distribute it in
every home, and compel it's reading in
the public schools 1t is at the pub

ask for it, leave your names, and you
will be notified when you may have it.
We now have Roosevelt's letters to
his children, for which there have been
many requests.

BY way Of conclusion ii is earnestly
recommended that q little time be
given to learning how TO put on chains.
1t was the experience of the writer
that what at first was a labOrious
and bungling process became after a
couple of trials a matter Of seconds
only, with the result that "at the first
drop Of rain" the chains go on, as
they should.
