PHONE COMPANY
GIVES HOLIDAYS

One of the incest, neatest, most
graceful pieces of work we have seer
in connection with the Centennial and
Homecoming Celebration here was
the action Of the Cumberland Tele-
phone Company in instructing all em-
ployes of the corporation who have
ever worked in Columbus that they
may have time Off from their work
to attend the Home Coming Celebra
tion. This is what we call down
right cleverness and it is something
that will be appreciated by the peo'
pie of Columbus.
Under date Of October 4th, Mr. r
II. Mullin, district manager of the
Cumberland Telephone Company
writes from Tupelo to employees OF
the company as follows:
From October 18th to 22nd, there
will be a big Homecoming Week al
Columbus, Miss, and it is the desire
of the people Of Columbus to have
you return to that city and help them
celebrate in the event you have evef
been resident of that city. If you
have, this will be your authority to be
away from your office in order thai
you may go to Columbus. You will
therefore, decide on the time, take
the matter up with your wire chief
and advise me the days you expect tc
be absent"

The whole wide world does not con-
tain better people, more hospitable
people, more cultured or more refined
people than ColumbusI Miss. No
where will you be able to find wider
streets, finer shade trees or prettier
lawns than you will find here. 1t is
a splendid place in which oestablish
a home. A hearty and cordial well
come awaits all worthy people who
eare to cast their lot with us.

deal Of remodeling for our purpose
1t was strongly built and highly re-
, commended by people who were using
! it, for durability under hard service
which we knew our car must receive
"The seats were already comfort
able. We had the wire screens and
the entire back removed. The steel
sides were bdlt over seven inches and
used for shelves in front of the book
cases. Inside the car we built our
book cases Of oak, with glass doors
opening outward on both sides of the
truck, so that it advertises its own
wares as it travels over the country.
The shelves slant slightly back to
hold the books away from the glass.
! "Our territory is now laid in sixteen
runs, but We must add at least five
to these in order to cover it. Some
of our trips are long. Number one,
for instance is AZ miles long and be-
gins und ends 10 miles from Mobiles
willie We have driven our car through
fresh gravel mud and over ice. AS
4 we travel four days a week we can
not wait for good roads. The work is
very interesting and grows more SO
as the librarians and the people get
better acquainted The demand for
books has bedi so great that it has
been almost impossible to satisfy both
the city and the country, as we were
not expecting and not we'll enough
prepared for the voracious appetite
for reading matter which we created.
Our library is called the 'Parnassus'
after Christopher Morley's book Par
nassus cu Wheels 1t is very in
Iteresting little book, about book ped
ding. We use an old fashioned din
ner bell to call our patrons, this be-
/ ing more effective than the norm. Che
\ side of the car is used for adult and
the other children's books. We carry
about 300 books on the shelves and
extra fiction and juvenile books in
side. Fiction is in greatest demand,
but we also circulate books on farm
ing, travel, history, literature, music,
and Bible literature. We carry fairy
stories and bear stories for the
younger children and have introduced
many youthful readers to Little
Women, Tom Sawyer, and Phochio
One great advantage of our system
to the rural patrons is that there are
no fines attached to books charged to
the library auto cards,
"The people in the country think
we made a good choice of car, as it
/ is a good car, but not the most ex-
. pulsve. They make many comments
on the car, especially since we have
met the men in the homes.
"The Indiana Library Commission
is trying to push the country library
idea as are many other states. 1t is
much better to have strong centra
library where decent salaries are
paid, than so many small Libraries
barely alive, and of not much use in
the community. The Indiana librar-
ians are very much interested in our
work.
sour car now regularly visits al
} most 500 homes and has about Loo
patrons, the circulation running from
100 to $50 per run. We will give
more service when the remainder of
our territory is organized. II is the
most interesting library work we have
every done and we hope all of In
diana may have similar service in the
] near future
