Hundreds of young people living in the neigh
oorhoods in which the new Libraries have been
opened have already registered as regular pat
rons of these libraries True, these people
might all have secured the benefits of the IL
brary by going to the central library, but they
have taken new interest in reading because
they have these libraries of their own located
near their own homes.
Making reading attractive and easy is worth
while. These branch libraries are opening a
new vista to lot of people. The tired worker,
after his days work is over, finds in these COM
Portable rooms place where he can improve his
mind by reading the current periodicals. He
can keep in touch with the onward movement
OF the world without inconvenience. He is 60
ing to find these libraries his clubroom and a
most interesting added feature to his life.
All of this work is being done at a minimum
of cost. The perfect cooperation between the
library board and the board of education as
sures the success of this new library movement
and gives the assurance that the work will be
intelligently advanced for the best interests of
all the people of these various neighborhoods
It is certain that the near future will bring an
active demand for the further extension of this
library work to other sections of the city.
There is no better way in which to spend a
small amount of the money of the people for
the advancement of great majority of the
people,

RuRY SHIPS MASCOT.

Honolulu.-The United States coast
guard cutter Mojave steamed into port
recently ahead of her schedule. I'M
mediately she locked, members OF her
crew got an automobile and rushed the
ships mascot, a dog named Soup,
to a veterinarian in an endeavor to save
his life. But "Soup" had no chance
to live, the doctor declared, and ne
was mereifully chloroformed. The next
morning, with her flag at half mast,
the Mojave steamed slowly out OF the
harbor to sea where, after a brief
service, the remains were consigned
to the deep.
Soup" Joined the Mojave at San
Francisco and served aboard during
the Alaskan tour of duty, He became
i'll shortly before the cutter was due
here, and nothing that could be done
seemed to help him. The commander
was appealed to, and he gave permits
sion to increase the speed of the ship
to capacity in order, as soon as pos
sible, to secure the services OF q
veterinarian.

ELECT TOM SCOTT DELEGATE.

If men who bear the brunt of party work are
entitled to party honor and party consideration,
the people of the first Wisconsin sDistrict will
elect Tom Scott as a delegate to the National
Republican convention
It has been thirty years since Kenosha has
had an accedited delegate in Republican con-
vention, and this county is entitled to some
recognition.
The Republicans of the district have right
to ask that Republican, and not some other
kind of a delegate, be sent. Whatever can be
said for or against Tom Scott, he has a right
to be considered Republican, He has served
as member of the Republican county commit
tee for years. He has been wheel house" of
the party in the district. He has given his
time and what money he had to spare for the
advancement of the party's activities and he
has not kicked over the traces just because he
didn't get the job someone thought he ought to
get or because someone he did not like was
nominated for office.
IF there be any virtue in party regularity,
Tom Scott has it to his credit. He is in favor
of the denomination Of President Coolidge, but
he can be sent to the convention with the as
surance that he will be willing to serve the best
interests of the party and the nation. He will
not stand over in the corner and seek to be a
majority by himself.
People of Kenosha county should insist that
this county be given this recognition by the Re-
publicans Of Wisconsin. 1t is not expected that
Mr. Scott will surrender all of his political views
in order to wear a badge at the convention, but
if the people of the district are looking for a
delegate who will intelligently look to the best
interests of the party and the nation, they can
do no better than to send him to Cleveland.

THE BRANCH LIBRARIES.

The greatest education any man can have is
reading good books. The best possible start
that any boy or girl can get in the world is the
close acquaintanceship with the great authors
and their work The dissemination of good
reading is as worth while work as any commun-
ity can do to aid in the education of it's members
The opening of branch libraries in scattered
portions of the city is a long step forward in
the educational problem of the city. 1t is GER
kain to be reflected in an enlightened citizen
ship and better citizenship. The need of this
sbetter reading has been clearly demonstrated
Fby the interest which has been shown in these
new institutions

Your Health
MONEY AS A HEALTH ASSET.

About 80 per cent of the people don't
know why they are really healthy Max
ing a person healthy is first of all
teaching him to thoroughly understand
natures laws.
People do not willfully expose them
selves to germs or disease, when they
know how to avoid these dangers.
One of the first aids to normal func-
tioning body organism is contented
state of mind.
No one condition, upon which this
mental state rests as q good funda-
ton, tends to produce this desired state
more than ones finances. The amount
of money you have or are saving for
rainy day or old age, the ability to
give financial advantages to those you
love or in fact the feeling you have
within your body that you are on the
way to health by the money route, as
sures your protection in case of sick
ness.
In other words, it is really true that
your health does to a great extent de-
pend on your freedom from the worry
of money matters. The poor are often
healthier than the rich, but that is not
the real question at issue. How many
do you know who are half sick or in
the doldrums of despair on account of
financial worries?
Worry or. nervous condition does
more to break down your constitution
or body health than you imagine. This
is not a bank ""ad," but few facts
from the U. S. Census my help you
get. an idea that many of our people
are far from good health.
Nineteen out Of 20 who are in ordi-
nary business occupations, do not pro-
wide for old age. Eight million wo-
men in America have to work for a
living. Thirty-fve per cent of widows
are in actual want. Ninety per cent of
children who enter school leave for
work before finishing the eighth grade.
Fifty-four men out of 100 who are
working at the age of rs, will be de-
pendent on someone else at 65.
If you value your health, try and
put your financial worries at ease. 1t
would be great health asset.

COLLIE MOTHERS BABY LIoNEsS.
Oakland, GAIA baby lioness, born
in cage here recently. has been
adopted by mother collie dog.
The cub had two little brothers, but
their mother, Simba, perhaps believing
that life of captivity was not worth
while for them, rolled on them and
killed them. But the lioness cub was
snatched away from this danger by
H. A. Snow, African game hunter and
curator of the Oakland museum of ma
tural history. He put her in box
padded with a guilt, removed her to
the museum workshop and fetched her
bottle of milk, which she took to
with avidity.
He then brought in the collie, which
promptly licked the cub sympathetic
cally and curled Up beside her with a
protective air.

IRISH

From Iceland went 10000 men to
fight under the British flag in the
World War. And 49,500 of them were
killed. This doesn't include Irish from
other countries. The figures just an
nounced by the Irish war memorial
committee are amazing in view of the
traditional relations between ireland
and England.
The answer is that the Irish fought
for cause rather than for flag
That was true of most of the soldiers
in the allied armies. At least, they
thought they fought for cause. How
many have been disillusioned?

Who lives his life rudely and rawly,
Bedouin grand in the land of the sand
Consider Miss Hawley.
"a shek," she reports sis geek who's antique,

A patriarch dark who you may remark,
Is like young Roman Navarro"
HOW sad is the shock to the femme nock
III To find that the sheik in his glory,
Of whom writers tell is a--well just a sell,
And only exists in a story.
The deep wrinkles streak the bleak cheek of the shek
Who isn't bold young deeeiver,
But old the hills. Why, he kills all the thrills
This antediluvian beaver.
60 ladies who yearn and who burn to discern
A sheik who's torrid bambino,

And worship Rodolf Valentino.

STORM.

You've heard of "The Night of the
Big Wind in Ireland" 1t was the real
thing, not a myth. Ireland has beer
observing it's anniversary. The Big
Wind started the night of JAM 6
1889. 1t was tornado, blowing 1ot
miles an hour, all night, and all next
day. Loss of life and property was
tremendous. A fearful cold wave fol.
lowed.
So terrible was the storm that fol
many years the Irish dated events from
the Night of the Big Wind. Some still
do. Others date from the Year Of
the Potato Rot.
Nature, playing safe, gave the lrisf
the power to stand a lot. Even strength
has it's disadvantages. The strong
man has to carry double.

LESS.

The wheat exported from our coun-
try in 1928 was two-thirds less than
the year before, measured in bushels,
and not much more than third OF the
exports in 1921.
The wheat farmers must produce
less or have a larger foreign market,
otherwise lag behind in their share
of prosperity. Through history, it has
not been the tendency of farmers to
cut production. They need organiza-
ton, but work singly. Isolated life
and organization mix like oil and
