LIBRARY INCREASING
ITS STOCK OF BOOKS;
SEEK BETTER GRADE

Many new books are being added to
the shelves of the library as the re-
suit of many calls for books that are
not on the library shelves, and which
people are wanting. If a person
wishes a book that is not at the Ii
brary and can convince the libra
rian of its value to the public, this
book is purchased
People are requested TO see the Il
brarian when they cannot get a. book
at the library Every effort is being
made to purchase the books that are
in most demand
Several new books are being read,
and for which it has been necessary
to have a waiting list. They are:
Strachey's Queen Victoria" and
Wells Outline of History" Fred
O'Brien's stories on the South Seas
also are becoming very popular, and
are never on the shelves
All books concerning Richmond and
Indiana are purchased by the local
library, as soon as they are published
A complete record of the history or
Richmond can be obtained
Recommend Books.
A new set of books recommended
10 all lGdCu6IS Vi TIC Sils has bCC>i
purchased at the recommendation OF
Superintendent of Schools W. G.. Bate.
This set of books is on the Modern
Method of Teaching, for teachers.
Books concerning the World wal
are being added to the library as soon
as they are published.
Calls for history and biographies
are being made more than in previous
years.
Books for drama are being used
continually by the high school and
by Earlham students.
Books are sent out to the schools
in West Richmond in large numbers
so the people will not be compelled
to come over to the library. This is
especially so at the Sevastopol
school.
Readers of Richmond are demanS.
ing a higher grade of books than what
has been demanded in the last few
years, according to the librarian.

five MINUTE RITES
MEAN AMERICA And
GERMANY At PEACE

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-Ratifications OF
the German-American peace treaty
were exchanged here last night at
the foreign office between Ellis Loring
Dressed, American commissioner. and
DR.. Karl Wirth, chancellor and mir
lister of foreign affairs.
The ceremony, which means a re-
turn of friendly relations between
Germany and the United States, took
place al $50 o'clock. 1t consumed
less than five minutes. The exchange
was to have occurred at noon, but
owing TO numerous other appoint
ments of Chancellor Wirth, Mr.. Ores
sci was compelled to await a sum-
mons to the foreign office.
This came by telephone, and the
American commissioner, accompanied
by Frederick r. Dolbears, secretary
of the American mission, motored to
the foreign office. where they were
received by DR. Wirth and DR. Haniel
Won Haimhausen, undersecretary foT
foreign affairs
Both Sign in Duplicate
Both plenipotentiaries signed in du-
plicate. the protocol certifying that
the notifications had been duly exc
cuted. The duplicate copy of the
treaty containing Germany's ratifying
preamble, which will rest in the ar
chives of the state department ut
Washington, is bound in dark red
leather and tied with ribbons repre-
senting the republican colors of Ger
many. It bears the signatures Ebert
and With"
The preamble is considerable brief
or than that of the copy which Mr.
Dressed delivered to the German gov
eminent. 1t merely records the fact
that the authoritative bodies of Ger
many. having approved the treaty, the
president of Germany pledges its full
fillment.

Everyday Adventures

Jack Duncan had just moved his

town and he was hunting for COM
Portable, reasonable apartment.
Outside of that, ne didn't have any
thing TO worry about.
He started on his hunt gaily
enough, bat within day or two
he began to realize that he was up
against a tough proposition. He
found a comfortable apartment
and a reasonable one all right, but
the only trouble was that they were
two different ones.
He hunted for a week and in the
meantime-in between time-he
and his wife were running up a
hotel bill that looked life a first
mortgage.
But just when it looked as though
the apartment question had both
his shoulders on the mat, he had
a great comeback" idea
And Then He Called 2834-2s72,
And within three days, he had
word of two attractive apartments
that exactly met the demands of

umns-and he and Mrs. Duncan
were moving from the hotel to the
one that was the most convenient

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Alfred Collier of Falmouth, Rush
county. has been visiting Wayne
county hog sale pavilions of late. He
has a son who is farming near Fal-
mount, and when met at the Jones
and Pike sale, told of farmer neigh
Dor who lost nearly 100 hogs during
the cholera epidemic early in the fall.
Vigorous vaccination measures were
checked, after much loss had been in
CURED. Rush county was hard hit by
the epidemic.
Mr.. Collier owned a large general
store at Falmouth, which burned last
year, and he is now out of business.
AS farmer he formerly was quite

buyer of good live stock
1--WE are Making History"
At the ratification conference of the
committee of fifteen at Chicago. on
Thursday, c. H. Gustafson, chairman,
said:
We are making history these days,
not history to be paid for in taxes
and in sorrowful memories of war,
but history having to do with the
emancipation of agriculture. We are
making economic history. We are
learning TO cooperate and are learn
ing how to secure for farmers some
of the legitimate advantages of big
business. We are discussing WAYS and
means, whereby, We can meet big bust
ness"
A Representative Gathering
The marketing conference has
brought together very representative
gathering, but not large one. There
are less than $50 in the essemblage
but these represent 81 livestock pro
Queer organizations, and all the live
stock states.
j. r. Howard, president of the
American farm bureau, and who ap-
pointed the committee, stated at the
conference that he believed this con.
ference to be fraught with more posi-
bilities of Improvement in the meat
producing business than any meeting
heretofore held.
The farm public will be glad to find
this true. Moreover, it will be to the
best interests of the entire people to
have some system of orderly market.

What Irish Farmers Fear
1t is said that Irish farmers and
cattle dealers are thoroughly alarmed
over England's threat to lift the EN-
barge on the importation of Canadian
cattle into the British Isles. The
farmers, it is said, have been sending
delegations to Mr.. de Valera about
this, and they are telling him plainly
that IF this is what independence
means they want none if it." England
is, of course, Ireland's greatest and
highest priced market, for all its
products, linen and homespun woods,
possibly excepted.

Would Raise Live Stock.
DR.. Carl W. Gay, of the Ohio uni
Yersity, says: IF | were a young
man, I'd go in for live stock here in
Ohio. Prices are right and the future

lessor of animal husbandry at the uni

Ministers at Cuttings.
When five country pastors turn out
to single poultry culling folks are in
cllned TO say they are interested in
the chicken dinners the farm wives
so generously furnish. This, of course.
is but partly true. 1t proves that the
rural ministry is simply showing a
new interest in all the things that
make for community progress.
| AS most farm folks and all poultry
men know, sour milk builds bone and
feathers, and increases the number of
eggs. This is an inexpensive ration.
