PUBLIC LIBRARY
BECOMING POPULAR
TO YOUNG and OLD

The Waterville Public Library is
coming to be. as years go by, a more
and more popular place with the cit
liens of the city, both old and young.
The number of books added to the
| library this year is 1925. a little
smaller than the number the precei-
ing year. Adult and juvenile fiction
| predominant. $40 OF the books be-
longing to these classes.
OF the new books 920 were pur-
chased, 1873 were given, Is were ac-
quired by binding and one by ex-
change.
Miss Extreme Flood in giving the
library q set of 90 volumes of the
Burgess BED Time story Books"
did a great deal to please the chill
dren who frequent there. The young
readers have worn out three or four
sets of these books, and this gift
came at a very opportune time as
there We're none left fit to circulate
To many of the youngsters the libra
ry would not be the library if it were
without these popular and excellent
stories for children.
Another gift Of extreme vrlue and
interest is that of a large quantity
of music in the form of songs, opera
cantatas, etc, all standard works.
The gift came from Mrs. Mabel FeS-
sender and is very important ad-
dition to the music department. 1t
has not as yet been catalpgued but it
is allowed to circulate and finds a
ready demand.
DIR. T. G. ThayeT, always a staunch
friend and supporter of the library
and a donor of many volumes. this
year presented, among other things,
q set of 1.-THE Little Masonic Libra
~" in 90 volumes.
Other donors have been Hascall S.

ey. Dr. +. C. Whittemore, Hon. Per-
cival p Baxter, Mrs. w. r. Haines,

as we'll as numerous authors AID
publishers.
The attendance recorded in the diff
ferent rooms shows that more people
are making use of the library than
in the past. Last year 33,491 visit
ors were recorded. 5125 more than
the year before. The total circula-
lion was 59,253. Books Of adult fic-
ton proved to be the most popular
and 276S9 We're borrowed.
Then comes juvenile fiction with
13.4S, followed by magazines with
3677 and then by books of literature
with 1915.
The aim of the board of trustees of
the library is to serve the needs Of
all classes of citizens. Special at
tention is given to securing books
asked for by teachers and required
for reading by pupils. The business
department, much expanded in the
last few years, is largely used. 1t is
q common sight to see young man
in working clothes come into the IL
brary, deposit his dinner pail on the
umbrella rack, and then find a book
that will help him increase his eff
cheney and advance his position.

Motorists Enjoying Weather

Yesterday a gray sky and cold,
damp breeze presaged rain or snow
and such weather conditions were
called for by the predictions. 1t is
but seldom that the snow is gone for
good before the month of February
is over and it is generally believed
that another storm will visit Water
Vile before spring really sets in. But
at the present time the city is practi-
cally cleared of the thick white man
tie of a month ago and it is con-
ISOLATION to think that what snow
may arrive before the termination of
winter will have no foundation of ice
and hard packed snow to retard its
melting.
1t Is rare instance when motor
travel is safe in all parts of Central
Maine in February but such is the
case this year. Each day brings an
increasing number of reports OF peo-
pie travelling considerable distances
by auto and the reports also state
that the roads are in good condition.
The State highway from Waterville
to Augusta is entirely free from any
snow Of sufficient depth to make
travel hazardous and cars are daily
going between the two cities at
about the same time that they do in
mid summer.
That interesting game of sighting
out-of- State licenses has gotten a
very early start. Massachusetts cars
have come to be too numerous to be
noticeable. Several Vermont and
New Hampshire motorists have Wis
tied the State in their autos and one
hardy adventurer from Ohio has en-
tered the State.
BY clearing away the snow from
man holes and digging out the gut
tiers of the city as soon as the thaW
arrived, the condition of the side
walks is such that pedestrians con-
front little or no difficulty in getting

as world trade competitor than has been gen.
orally supposed
This view was expressed by George E. An
derson, former consul general, who said:
"Most German industries have secured
splendid new equipment as result OF building
done during the decline and fall of the mark.
On the other hand wages in Germany are far
higher than before the war, not only in money
paid but in working conditions exacted and wages
are likely to go higher. Then, too, German raw
material costs will be much higher. Much of the
advantage in raw materials formerly possessed
by Germany is now possessed by some one else.
In addition to all this and overshadowing all is
the mater of taxes. It may be uncertain what Ger
many is to pay under the Dawes plan, but it IS
certain to be all that the country can bear and
whatever it is must be raised in the way of taxes.
81 must confess that to me the prospect of
German competition abroad when exacted is not
so much danger of a flood of German goods
sent abroad in payment of PREPARATIONS as it is a
question of whether or not Germany can success
fully compete in foreign markets while bur-
dened with such taxes.-Today's Business.

Not long ago we heard father say that he

son take the car because he had "a lot of money
invested in that car" We felt-and we told
him So that he had his motive for not letting
boy and car out together all wrong end to. What
he really meant was that he had so much invest
ed in his BOY that he couldn't afford to risk hin,
with any automobile and its accompanying dang
ers. Rev. Roy Smith just very recently made
some good statements on the values Of boys
He says:
Zone boy is worth so much that any bust
ness that debauches him is total loss"
Zone boy is worth more than years

Zone boy is worth more than the cost of
any Sunday School.
Zone boy is worth more than the furni-
ture in the parlor."

TAX PAYERS LEAGUES

HE other evening, when Ray P. Chase
was speaking in Redwood Falls he made
L strong plea for the formation Of Tax-PayerS
Leagues these Leagues to be formed Tor the
consideration of taxpayers problems before the
taxes are levied and paid instead Of having in
vestigation and criticism after the money has
been expended perhaps Wastefully. During
that plea Mr. Chase mentioned the Leagues of
and Duluth which have been func
tioning for the past several years. At about
the time he was speaking here the Duluth Herald
published the following little editorial concern
ing it's League and it's method of work.
''The Taxpayers League held its annual
meeting and election of directors last night,
and in his fourth annual report Executive
Secretary Robert M. Goodrich was able to
make an impressive showing Of effective work
that has been translated into actual cash saw
ings to the taxpayers.
'The league has indeed made good.

levying and public spending with intelligence
and sound public spirit.
"It has not been penny wise and pound
foolish.
"It has not blindly sought to cut taxes
regardless of everything except saving money.
"It has sought rather to bring about
wise and productive expenditures.
"Its aim has been not so much to re-
duce taxes to the lowest possible notch,
which might be costly and extravagant
policy, deadening in it's effect, as it has to
bring about the ideal of dollar in results
for every dollar Of tax-money spent.

but rather has sought to cooperate with
them; and after the first natural suspicious
of these officials was lulled, they have CIV
en- it large measure of cordial and con-
structive cooperation.
"The Taxpayers league is sound in
vestment for those taxpayers who support
it, and it ought to be continued and supported
not only with the necessary funds but with
work and influence.-Duluth Herald.
