MORE RURAL
LIBRARIES
NEEDED

A LII States have legal provi-
~ sions for public libraries in
cities and towns, but there
are still several which have made
no provision for rural public IL
braries. The form of library
organization which is generally
urged as best for providing rural
library facilities is the county
system; and within the last five
years one-half of the States have
passed important county library
laws. OF these, seventeen were
new enactments on the subject.
and the remaining seven were
amendments Of older acts.
The following States now have
laws authorizing the establishment
and maintenance Of county free
Libraries: Alabama, California,
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska,
New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl-
Vania, south Carolina, South Da.
kota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
West Virginia, Wisconsin and
Wyoming-twenty-n in all. In
the New England States, rural
communities are served by town
libraries, and there would there
fore seem to be little or no need
for county systems in that section
Of the country.
Laws of the county type usu-
ally provide for the maintenance
of a central library at the county
seat or other important center and
of branches in outlying towns.
A county library board is gener-
ally provided for, and this board
is authorized either to erect a
new library or to contract with
one already existing in a city or
town for the extension of it's
service throughout the county.
Laws also provide for or contem.
plate travelling collections of books
and distributing stations at school
houses and like strategic points.

HIGH LOSES
TO COLLEGIANS
Lanky Fullback Races the
Length of Field for Touch
down and Victory

With five of her first team men on
the side lines, Kennewick's high school
football eleven put up stubborn bat
tie against Columbia College here Fri
day afternoon. The final score was
9 to 8 in favor of the Collegians.
Each team negotiated a field goal
by drop kick and Columbia won by the
margin of one touchdown which came
not by consistent gains but by a lucky
getaway with the ball tucked under
the arm of their sprinting fullback.
The trick was turned at the beginning
of the second half. Kennewick kicked
off and the husky Collegian caught
the ball on his own ten-yard line and
raced the length of the field for a
touchdown.
As in the Yakima game Kennewick
showed much stronger on defensive
than offensive, and Hudnall again
starred as ground gamer.
Beste, who is a tower of strength
in the line and the home teams chief
punter, was out with a broken rib,
while four other regulars were be-
ing disciplined for breaking training
rules Halloween night.

OIL NOT GUSHING
FROM ATTALIA WELL
But Quantities of Gas and Oil In
crease AS Formation Changes
To Sand

Oil excitement reached new high
level here Monday when rumor was
current on the streets that oil was
flowing from the Columbia Basin well
at Alfalfa.
The rumor became current from a
telephone message received from the
we'll to the effect that the oil which
had heretofore shown only when the
baler was run was then showing on
top of the water at the casing head.
The facts are that at nine o'clock
Monday the drill broke through the
hard formation in which only 18
inches of hole was made each day and
since that time the drill has been
going down at the rate of six feet
a day in a comparatively loose sand.
AS depth is made in the softer for
nation the quantity Of gas and the
oil showings are gradually increas-
ing. Drillers are of the opinion that
true oil sand has been encountered.

TO ENFORCE
AUTO LIGHT LAW
Service Auto Garage Is Des-
ignated AS Official
Testing Station

The garage of the Service Auto
company has been designated by the
Automotive Trade Association as the
official automobile light testing sta
tion for this district.
The state automobile code prohibits
the use of glaring headlights and re-
quires that all auto lights shall be
officially tested. This act carried no
appropriation whereby the state could
provide testing stations consequently
the law has not been enforced. Fred
j. Dibble director of licenses has en-
tered into an agreement whereby
the Automotive Trade association is
to establish testing stations through
out the state and the state will under
take the enforcement of law in all
districts where stations have been es-
tablished.
j. d. Guiss, representative of the
association was in Kennewick Mon
day, announced that the Service Auto
company had been designated as an
official station. While here he in
structed C. H. Peterson and his en-
ployees how to make the test and the
station will begin operation as soon
as the necessary charts and other
apparatus is received. The minimum
charge for testing and adjusting
lights is 75 cents.
Mr.. Guiss gave a demonstration
of the proper focusing Of auto lenses
before Deputy Sheriff Chester McGee,
Chief of Police Jack Dale and Night
Policeman j. @. Reynolds. He ex-
planned that as soon as the local sta
tion is opened Director Dibble will
issue instructions to all peace officers
to begin enforcement of the law.
practically every type Of automo-
bile headlight can be made absolutely
non-glare il it is properly focused
and adjusted" said Mr.. Guiss. "After
a light has been adjusted according
to the scientific methods used in our
testing stations, it is absolutely inn
possible for the rays from properly
focused headlight to strike an ap-
preaching driver in the eye. When
focused properly the rays ars down
on the road where they belong. The
purpose Of this campaign is not to ar
rest anybody but to enable every
driver to protect himself and other
drivers and to make the streets and
highways safe for night travel"

HERE'S SOME
HIGH FINANCE
Californian Wants To Ad-
vertise German Marks
For Sale Here

The ier-Reporter this week re-
ceived an order for the following ad-
vertisement to be inserted in its
classified columns:
"Speculate-In German Money. One
dollar for half million marks, worth
$110, 100000 before the war. j. H..
Keirns, $50 Geary St., San Francis
co."
AS get-rich-quick proposition, Mr..
Keirn's scheme is a hummer. He Of
fers to sell half million German
marks for one American dollar. Yes
terday the German mark was quoted
on the New York exchange as being
worth .0O00000004 of cent. At this
rate the half million marks which this
San Francisco high financier offers to
sell for one dollar would be worth
.0002 1.-TWO ten-thousandths Of a
cent.).
Mr.. Keirns may be able to advertise
his German money scheme and keep
out of Jail, but this paper doubts it.
He says the half million German
marks which he offers to sell for a
dollar were worth 3110, 900 before the
war. This is not true. The marks
which the printing presses Of the pre-
sent-day German are turping out by
the bale, were worth nothing before
the war. The valuation of $4,000
for half million was based upon
the gold mark of the pre-war German
which, except in name, bears no more
relation to the German mark Of to-
day than an American dollar does
to a Japanese yen.
The Courier-Reporter's advice to its
readers is that if they desire to spec
ulate in German money, they give the
advertising takers wide berth and
consults their bankers.
After writing the above the editor
called up the First National Bank
to verify the quotation on German
marks. He was informed by L. F..
johnson, president, that his bank had
been notified by its city correspon-
dents that they were no longer list
ing German paper marks which are
considered worthless. "Anybody who
is offering to sell German Marks
and representing that they have any
monetary value is flim-flammer'."
added Mr.. johnson.
