CONSIDER THE BATHTUB
AND BE WISE


The history of its development is
almost as interesting as the story Of
other luxuries of yesterday, neces-
stiles of Enthusiastically, gas, the
telephone and street car.
The bathtub was compelled to put
up hard struggle for permanent
place in the home.
The first bathtub In the United
States was built in Cincinnati, and
installed in a home there In 1912. 1t
was made of mahogany, lined with
sheet iron, and was proudly ex-
hibited by. its owner at Christmas
party. Next day it was denounced in
the newspapers as a luxurious, I'M
democratic vanity.
Then came the medical. men and
declared it menace to health. In
1913, Philadelphia tried to prohibit
bathing between November 1 and
March Is, by ordinance. In 1845,
Boston made bathing unlawful ex-
cept when prescribed by physician.
Virginia taxed bathtubs $40 year.
Today the bathtub is in every
home and its frequent use is recon-
mended and urged by all medical and
health authorities.
There was day when electricity,
gas, the telephone and street car
were scoffed at as luxuries" and
"vanities." Business and society
couldn't get along without them to-
day.
The Potato Exchange now being
organized by states and as national
institution for orderly marketing of
potatoes has some opposition, as did
the bath tub, and it might turn out
just as happily.

THE PONY EXPRESS

Sixty years ago the Pony Express
was instituted to carry mail from st.
Joseph, Mo-, to San Francisco, and
for year and half it continued to
serve, making delivery of the 1000
miles in eight days as against three
weeks via the other route via the
Isthmus of Panama.
Each rider covered about seventy
five miles day and each horse went
about twenty-five miles at first, but
the relays were shortened until
horses ran only ten miles on the
level country and as little as one
mile in the mountains, while riders
rode about a hundred miles a day.
The service was given up In 1862
when the telegraph line was COM
pleted.
At the present time the pony ex-
press is being enacted again, and
horses and riders are making the
trip across the country in commem-
Grafton of that service of sixty years
ago. Each day the newspapers give
information as to where the letter is
travelling at the time of going to
press.

MONDAYS ECLIPSE

Last Monday there was an eclipse
of the sun that was practical in
southern California and about 80
per cent in Idaho
Scientists from all parts of the
world went to southern California to
make observations land fiers gath
cred from different states to make
observations and take photos above
the clouds On that day there was a
heavy fog drifting in from the ocean
and very little of the eclipse was
seen except by the fliers.

Increase in Visitors

Observe that the greatest gain in
the number of visitors was in the
year 1922, when the library was
moved from the old small quarters
on the ground floor of the city hall
to the larger quarters in the base
ment. Besides having more room in
the basement, it was nicer place
in every way, well lighted, walls well
tinted, well finished and well heated.
The upstairs place was dingy,
crowded, books could not be well ar
ranged, and the stove smoked when
the wind blew. 1t was not pleasant
place to go into nor pleasant place
to stay in to read or study. When
the move was made into the base
ment, the patronage increased H.
900 and the loans increased 5000 in
a year. The second year in the
nicer quarters the number of patrons
