,,,r;+er we'll remembers when one day
the board met and after paying tne'r
n,onthlv hills found they only had on
w seventy-five cents to their credit
ond thirtv-six children in the home to
be provided for, and the same day we
received an application for three ex-
ira children to be admitted to the
Home. Well, we took the Children
and trusted in God for help, and need
less to say we were not disappointed
All of the original founders OF the
home have passed on to the great be-
vond but their good work has gone
on. and our many girls have grown
| up in the home and are out in the
world earning an honest living. 1t IS
gratifying to the present board TO
feel that they are carrying on the good
work begun so many years ago oy
those long since deceased. VI iate
years the property Of the home mas
increased in value, and the ladies o.
the board are looking forward to pro
! viding a more comfortable home to-
: the children. The home receives tw'
hundred dollars yearly from the CIT!

PUBLIC LIBRARY REPORT
An Interesting and Instructive State
Ment of Conditions and Man
agement.

The only public library in Baton
Rouge is the one located on the cor
ner of Church and Florida streets,
owned and managed by Joanna Wad-
dill Chapter U. D. C. For many
years this library was partly main
tanned by a liberal monthly gift from
DR.. D. NJ. HALEY Of Oklahoma, who
was formerly a Baton Rouge boy.
When he could no longer give this
amount the ladies went before the
city commissioners with a report
showing what they were doing for
the city, and making known the dis
continuance of DR.. Hailey's gift. The
commissioners readily agreed to give
this amount for the first year, and
have since raised it to $5OO.0o, the
amount they now give.
Last year the police jury gave Sloo
to the library fund. Other than these
there is no known maintenance fund.-
but the ladies from year to year Sc
cure pledges from business men and
women and friends Of the library, ano
from month to month collect these.
This is the way the library will
have to continue to operate until the
city can properly house and flnanct
it. At such time Joanna Waddli
dill Chapter U. D. G. will give to tn
city of Baton Rouge its books furn'
ture and all library accessories.
From a very few readers at its be
ginning the number has steadil
grown, until during the past yea
there have been over $4,000 readers
Manay persons having good books
their homes have given them to u
library, until during the past yea
there we're a great number OF ne
books donated.
Besides adults getting books II
recreation and Improvement, the Juv
nile department is probably the mo
interesting. The rural readers ma
greatly increased during the past t'
years, and the ladies wish to make
known that they are invited to b
come readers, there being spec
rule permitting rural readers to ke
books longer than others.
The condition of the library
flourishing and filing a great need

The four active committees do'
library work are the Library Co

Chinese Famine Fund.

John Peterson, who acts as city
treasurer for the China Relief fund
in Princeton, yesterday received let
ter from Mr.. McDermott, publicity
director of the state committee. Mr..
McDermott states that Princeton, by
giving to the Chinese famine fund, will
have the opportunity to redeem her
self for refusing to hearken to Her
bert Hoover's plea for the starving
children of Europe. 1t is true no
organized campaign was conducted in
Princeton for the famine fund, as it
was in the majority of towns in Min
ncsota. However, the benefit per-
formances at the Strand theater, the
contributions from the school chill
dren and other persons totalcd about
$500. Princeton should have given
more to the fund and would have done
so if campaign had been conducted
Several weeks ago the Union ap-
pealed to it's readers to give to the
Chinese famine fund. One dollar will
save a life for month and five dollars
will save life until harvest. If hu-
man lives arc worth saving and you
have five dollars to spare give them tc
Mr.. Peterson. Funds arc cabled to
the American minister at Picking, an6
ten days after the money is cablcd il
is translated into rice and millet that
is saving lives. ~
