PUBLIC LIBRARY ALWAYS
FINDS WORK TO BE DONE

at the library. Assume that you have
had an argument with a friend on cer-
tain of the fine points of fly casting
and are looking for literature to back
your statements. Isaac Walton's FAM
GUS volume will not fill this particular
|bill, of course; you want something
technical and applicable to Wisconsin
waters in which the revered Ike never
had the good fortune to wet a line.
But where to find it is the next ques-
Ition.
Going About II
If you are regular patron of the IL
lbrary you will doubtless be able to
find your way about the fiction shelves
without any trouble, but with some
thing out of the ordinary you must
consult authority First the card cat

Here is where number Of probabili-
tiles enter into the question: the book

book is in the binders hands for a
new cover. So you ask the librarian

lfile and in few moments you have
THE volume you want or she tells you
that you are out of luck because one
|of the above listed possibilities is
!fact
The present season is inventory
time and an explanation of how the
inventory is taken will give good
idea of how books may be found SO
readily on the crowded shelves among
which the uninitiated person is so
easily lost. In addition to the card
catalog, which lists every bood that
should be in the library, shelf file is
kept. Each book is classified and
numbered and the groups of numbers
are assigned to certain shelf space.
The cards in the shelf file are ar
ranged in the same order in which the
books should be on the shelves and
thus, knowing the number of the
book, it is a simple matter to find
the book if ii is not loaned out at the
time.
Carefully Checked
During the inventory period all
books are carefully checked with the
shelf file Those absent are account
ed for readily if out on cards Of il at
the bindery. If the book is lost 1t is
withdrawn from the catalog until re-
placed. A certain percentage of the
books do get lost but this is very
small number.
According to Miss Lansing there is
quite "a remarkable amount of reading
done in Wausau, and upon practically
every subject of which the library has
any material. Every week finds a
widely diversified list of subjects
called for by people of every occupa-
ton. The number of subscribers is
increased every day by people coming
in and asking for cards until it seems
as though nearly every one in Wau-
sau owns card. The total number
of books in the library is over $4,000
and they are all in demand.
The chief handicap is lack of space,
particularly, Of reference works and
magazines. In spite of this there is
really vast amount of work accom-
plished and the library has a much
wider field in the city and vicinity than
many people are aware of.

COB WEBS OR CUSTOMERS

In his early days, Mark Twain,
the author of "Tom Sawyer"
and "Huckleberry Finn" was
editor of a small town newspa-
per. One day he received a let
ter from a superstitious sub.
scriber telling how he had found
a spider in his newspaper and
asking whether it meant good
or had luck. Mark Twain wrote
as follows:
Finding a SPIDER in your pa
per was neither good nor bad
luck for you. The spider was
merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant was not
advertising, so that he can go
to that store, spin his web
across the door and live life of
undisturbed peace ever after
wards"
Are spiders commencing to
weave their webs in your door
way? A sure cure for cobwebs
is customers-and advertising
in your local newspaper will
bring them TO you in increasing
nuIp5ers.
