AMONG KANSAS LIBRARIES

The following public library news
notes were gathered by w. H. Kerr,
librarian of the Kellogg library. Kan
sas State Normal school, Emporia, and
furnished to the Associated Press.
Kerr is secretary of the State Libra
rians' association.
Four new Kansas libraries are at
Almena, Cedar Vale, Corning and
Prescott. The Almena library has
been moved to new quarters in the
city council room, and its good sized
collection of books is open once a
week. The Cedar Vale community Ii
brary, under the auspices of the We'll
fare club, was opened in July. The
Corning library, managed by the
Woman's club, opened in the Metho-
dist church on October 1, with Mrs.
Eva Casey as the librarian. The
Prescott Merry Matrons' club main
tains a library of $50 volumes, open
Saturday afternoons, on a weekly
rental basis.
La Cygne has a library. open on
Saturday afternoons, maintained by
the Zeta Zeta club.
Miss Mary Barlow has been libra
rian at Fort Scott for more than thirty
years. The library was opened in
1891, with the library of Eugene, F.
Ware, better known as 'Ironquill,' as
the nucleus. 1t was turned over to
the city in 1892 and reopened in 1893.
The Carnegie building was opened to
the public in 1904.
A Sabetha correspondent in the
Seneca Tribune suggests that the Sa-
betha school board might buy books
for the general library instead of
maintaining a separate library at the
school house. Explaining that the
school children and teachers use the
Sabetha library more than any other
class. the correspondent remarks,
Seems rather foolish to have the
school library separate from the regu-
lar city library
The Wellington public library re-
ceives forty periodicals. During
August an average of 125 books daily

After being closed three weeks for
interior decoration the Herington IL
brary opened again with the largest
single days circulation in its history
During the closed period a downtown
store window was used for book dis
play, and many inquiries resulted. The
library had it's beginning about twenty
years ago in the efforts of the W. NJ
B. club, who played a baseball game
at which they cleared the first 500
toward a $3.50 lot. Rummage sales
country dances, art exhibits and din
ners enabled them to pay for the lots
in 1904. In 1911 reading room was
opened with about $50 books Mrs
Roberta Mckowan being the librarian
| then, as now. Rummage sales and
dinners and ball games were continued
as means of support till 1914, when
the public tax support was voted. The
| Carnegie building was opened January
1, 1915, with 1000 books. There are
| now 1000 books. The present tax
levy is eight-tenths of mill. which
yields about $2.30 per year for IL
brary maintenance.
The Stockton and Argonia libraries
have new sprinkling systems for theil

| societies in all senses.

Lawrence and Topeka, tradi-
tional enemies, battled hard.
Lawrence made the first counter of
the game just five minutes after the
opening of the play. Mackie, Law
renee fuHback, made the line-pIunge
following a Topeka tumble, that gave
Lawrence her tally. y
But Topeka came back in wonder
full style, and by straight football,
coupled with forward passes, the To-
peka lads marched down the chalk
line for the touchdown. Their tally
was made in the first quarter also.
IGrassy' Bruce, high school star,
Quarterback and captain, broke his
shoulder in making a gain, of eight
yards. Mclaughlin took his place.
- The deciding play of the game came
in the last minute The two teams had
played three quarters, and most of
the fourth, in a tie.
Topeka's advance for a touchdown
was stopped after Mclaughlin had
returned punt fifty yards to the nine
yard line, one of the most brilliant
plays of the game. The .Topekans
could not go across, and lost the ball
on the vineyard line.
Morawetz Lawrence right half, at
tempted to punt, and the ball was
blocked in its flight by Bishop, charg-
ing Topeka left tackle. A safety re-
suited, giving Topeka the necessary
two points to win.
In only one department of the game
did the Lawrence men outclaSS their
opponents. Forward passes netted
Lawrence seventy-five yards to To-
peka's five.
Once again we rise to proclaim the
greatness of the T. H. S. players. They
have played consistent, spectacular
ball all season. Ottawa is the only
high school to defeat them. Manhat-
tan tied with Topeka.
Coach -'Jerb' Barnes deserves much
credit. Few high school coaches
spend the time and energy on their
players that the Topeka coach does
And the players are gens-every one
of them. Topeka has every reason to
shout the praises of T. H. S. far and
wide.

W.L.HuSSins Jr:

Today is the first Saturday this sea-
son, that games having a bearing on
the theoretical Championship of the
Kansas conference football race, are
not scheduled.
The race is over, practically. Hays
is the only indicated team. c. of l.
and the Emporia Normal Will battle
Turkey day for. second honors.
But today sees no game with bear
ing.
Reports persist in drifting to our
receptive ears of the admirable fight
put up by Sterling feminist the Fair
mount squad Thursday.
Wonderful.
The Sterling warriors actually out
played the Hoover aggregation for
three quarters. and it took the Wheat
shockers' combined effort to finally
push the ball over in the last three
minutes of play for the one and only
touchdown of the ga Rle.
And little oil Sterling has won
but a single game this season-that
with the conference tail-enders, Sa-
lima.
We wonder how the news Of the
battle was received at Hays Normal by
"Rook' Woodward and his ever-vlc-
torious squad of gridiron workers.
Sterling is to meet Hays on Thanks
giving day. woodward has agreed to
play the victor of the Emporia
Sterling. But if Hays wins-no post
season game, says "Rook." We don [
blame him?
But-what does friend woodward
think about the chances for the post
season game.
Paramount is no weak team.
We wonder.
Hold 'em YaIe"-and-'F Flight 'em
Harvard"-will be heard in concerted
innuendo at Boston today.
It is probably the most popular con-
testH~to be played in the country
unless the Arny-Navy battle will
arouse more comment and interest.
And Harvard has been twice de-
feated, once by little Centre. once by
Princeton.
Yale has successfully staged a dyed
in-the-wool comeback in the football
world this season
But nevertheless the comment is d.
versified as to the favorites.
An attempt to enumerate some OF
the famous players on both elevens
would call forth an endless job-so
Wen refrain.
Safe to say. however-that some of
the famous ones of the football world
Will be in the battle.
Bishop, left half on the Topeka
high school team was the hero Sof
the Lawrence-Topeka contest at Law

blocked a kick in the last minute of

1t was great game. according to
about half a thousand Topeka fans
who went down on the special train
and in cars for the game
