south end of the Town Hall; here books could be withdrawn once a month for five cents per volume.
 Our present library building, which has served us well, and which we deeply appreciate, was the gift of MT. Edmund Lawrence to the town in 1882.
 The town is indebted to Miss Adam and Miss Cunning for their untiring work, to which is due the fact that we have a finer collection of books than often falls to the lot of small libraries. We have approxi- mately 4,500 volumes in the library, too valuable to be jeopardized by the fire menace of the present location.
 Our funds have been added to, little by little, often with a definite statement as to what use they be put, books, building or repairs.
 The town has grown-the building has not-the books have increased and the demand for them more and more.
 Reading rooms for adults and children are part of every we'll equipped library. We have for the past few years, furnished a table of periodicals which is we'll patronized; i; at the same time it lessens space needed for librarians desk, refer ence table etc.; besides, we are in need of room where the work of re- pairing books and making new ones ready for distribution can be done 1; it's a puzzle not yet solved-where our new Catalog Cabinets are to. be placed. So much for the lack of room. There is an added and rapid ly growing disadvantage in the present site. Since Railroad Street

To the Committee on Expenditure,
 Town of North Canaan.
 In response to your request just received l am very glad to set forth my views as to the best use the town can put the unexpected windfall which has recently found it's way into the treasury.
 There are so many good uses to which this money might be put that 1t IS difficult to discriminate and say which is really for the best interests of the town, but have read some of the suggestions already made, each of which has much to commend it, given the subject much considera- tion, and think that perhaps the choice should be for one of the following objects:
 1. A new or thoroughly re- modelled Town Hall.
 2. A new school house at East Canaan.
 3. Reduction of the town debt.
 I have not included the Commun- ity Association, partly because understand that the town has 'deci- sively voted down that proposition, and partly because I very much doubt the wisdom or justice of de- voting town funds to the mainten- ance of an enterprise, which, al though commendable, can in the nature of things extend it's benefits

Canaan, Conn.,, January IA, 1921. Dr. J. G. Adam, Chairman:-
 In making statement of Douglas Library's needs and an appeal to the town for a portion of the money at its disposal, it may not be amiss to glance at the growth of the Library from 1921 to 1921 GOO years).
 Its start was with few volumes, and $500, the gift of William Doug las to the Town of Canaan; in 1858 the town was divided and said books and money became the property of North Canaan; the library was To- cated at the Lower Corner (so- caIled) near the Vacation House {; later, after some additions, it was moved to more central place, ,-the

DRILL CUPS ARE NEGLECTED
Closing or Widening of the Grain Spaces.

One of the too-often neglected 3dhm about the farm is the tuning up of chm cups in the grain drill. After the hran few years there Is sure to be more CT less wear, and this not Infrequently We- suits in the partial closing or else the widening of the space through whlrm the grain moves into the spouts. When this happens, even seeding becomes Inn possible. And often just a little uF tention will set matters right, and wSH greatly prolong the life of the drill.

INTERESTING SUGGESTION
 REGARDING THAT FUND
Continued from page 1

lively associate a library, a larger building and more fitting location are necessary to make our library a matter of pride to every citizen. Now the creating of such fund would make it possible for any one who cared to give money or legacies for either Town Hall or library, and to do so with a definite understand ing of how it would be used.
 The plannig and erecting of such a building would be of interest to every citizen in the township and the need of it would fully appeal to the broadest public spirit.
 Think it over.
 Respectfully Yours,
 E. L. Roberts.

Ny most embarrassing moment was one time when a young girl was supposed to marry asked me to buy her a mink fur. I told her to wait awhile.
