REVENUE OFFICER
AFTER GIIMLESS
CRAFT ON RIVERS

Deputy Customs Collector r. G.
Pearce, has been giving his atten-
ton lately to the matter of compli-
ance of motor boats in these waters
with the government regulations
and one of these nights, he is liable
to sweep down on the pleasure
seekers who own this class of craft,
who he says are disregarding the
law.
This applies both to the Missis-
sippi and Rock rivers, the require
ments being particularly that the
boats shall bear the proper signal
lights at night, and be provided
with a horn and other equipment
as we'll.
Mr.. Pearce says that he will be
obliged to take serious steps unless
the requirements are complied
with. and he is giving this warning
in the interest of fairness.

ent of that department, has receiv-
ed a shipment of 72 volumes, includ-
ing works on home making, fiction

leges may secure books from the
state library extensions.
No fee is charged except a trans
portation charge. and books may be

states that those living in rural
districts where no circulating Ii
braries are located may avail
themselves of the state service.
The library at Springfield pur-
chases several copies of every new
book that is published so that al
most any request can be complied
with.
Miss Allen reports that several
applications have been received
from tri-city parents to have their
babies examined at the better
babies conference which promises
to be one of the best patronized
features of the exposition. Parents
