Moving pictures and radio are incentive to more and
better reading in rural districts in New Jersey, according
to a statement made in the 1924 annual report OF the
State Public Library Commission. This is encouraging,
for opinions to the contrary are frequently heard. 1t IS
explained that the productions of the screen suggest lines
of thought, stimulate interests in new nations, and bring
into prominence and favor many Of the classics IN ltera-
ture; a desire for reading is thereby created. The radio
has led to an increased interest in political subjects. Many
INQUIRIES come to the Commission for books relating to
topics that have been heard in lectures given over the
radio.
In 1924 there was a steady gain over the preceding
year in call for library books in New Jersey. More books
were borrowed for study purposes than ever before, the
number so loaned showing an increase OF $4,000 over
that of the previous year. There was a demand for books
of higher standard than formerly. The greatest demand
was for historical novels.
The report states that the increase in the number OF
travelling library stations established was limited only by
the money available, as 1862 requests were held over be-
cause of the Commissions inability to furnish books.
Through the travelling libraries and special loans the Com
mission is developing a desire for local library service as
we'll as for book ownership.
The effects of pictures and radio observed in far off
New Jersey could be noted in Montana, no doubt, if a
survey was made and will become more marked with
thousands of radio sets being installed.

Everyone enjoyed the Christmas
exercises and pageant, also the
treats. Such occasions mark bright
places in the lives of the children and
are precious memories in after years.
The world holds nothing more beau
tiful than the spirit of Christmas and
nothing brings us all to so realize
our universal brotherhood as Christ
mas. We are earnestly trying to
foster the spirit of Christmas through
out the year in the "Service Church"
A most hearty prayer and wish for
a happy and prosperous new year
is extended to everyone in the com
munity. This church enters the new
year with a fine outlook and high
enthusiasm, glad for much to be ac-
complished and assured of success if
we all unselfishly work to bring
Gods kingdom to Wolf Point.
All the departments of the work
are progressing. A program can be
put On much more easily since the
church has been improved.

whole community. You are heartily

to do. and why notf
Why 70 home to q dinner that was
unimportant instead OF going to an
other which wss a little different?
Yet 1t was the first time he would
be doing such a thing. The year be-
fore they had had their New Years
Eve dinner together. 1t had been all
right, but one couldn't keep up little
things like that indefinitely.
Besides, he had been a little hurt.
She had come home late. She had
been out at an afternoon gathering Of
a number Of her friends, and she had
been late, and neither of them had
been any too pleasant.
They had been discussing husbands
that afternoon where she had been,
and exchanging complaints. Even
she had Joined In. though not as
much as some of the others. But it
made her feel ashamed. And in feel
ing ashamed she had become irritable.
They had both felt sheepish, as in
the morning they opened each others
gifts, with the tender written messages
which accompanied them.
He went to the dinner. The con-
yersation turned IN business. A
young man, the youngest of the group,
seemed a little out of the setting.
"Why," he asked during a pause, "do
you all work so hard2"
"For our wives and our children"
came every answer.
And yet, the husband of three years
thought, l am leaving mine alone on
the V Of our anniversary to make
that speech to others. This, he de-
cided, was the time to recall his earlier
resolves.
He left a little abruptly and went
home. His wife was there. She had
no dinner ready. She had been busy
thinking.
my DEAR she cried, you've come
home so early. What is the matter?
Don't you feel well?'
He gathered her in his arms.
Its New Years Eve" he said, land
the eve Of our anniversary. l wanted
to be with you. We've let some things
get just q little out of reach
but Wen reach for them and we'll
have them again. 1t will be really
a New Year for us"
And she understood.
His words were answering the ques-
lions and the thoughts that had been
In her heart.

crisp and cold, and the happiness of
the season embodied in everything.
They had started out with high re-
solves, resolves that they would al
ways be just as happy as on this first
day. 1t was to be a New Year for
them, but every year would mark an
anniversary just as significant of
fresh, unspoiled romance.
Not that they expected life to be
all pleasure. But it would be deeply
fraught with happiness because of the
depth and the eternal youth of their
love.
But had it been that way? Not
quite. And somehow, with the APP
proach Of this anniversary each felt a
slight failing.
They were as happy, happier than
most couples. But that was not what
they had meant to be. They had not
meant to settle down to any routine
affectlonate regard toward each
other.
They had meant to settle down to
complete, ideal happiness.

planned to work late and then attend

The truth is dangerous sometimes
not to mention expensive-to those
so bold as to tell it to the world.
Note the cases of Col. Mitchell and
Carl Magee. The Colonel was con-
victed by a military court of telling
the truth about our air defense and
his pay cut off for five years. Edi-
tor Magee told the truth about the
%rotteness of New Mexico politics and
has served time in prison, been beat
en- to insensibility and is now deeper
than ever in the meshes of the law.

You will be surprised TO see that

Be Courageous. Drive fear

that you can do the things he

that being content does not j

PUBLIC UTILITY BILL KILLED
Defeated in the Senate Despite Effort
to Give This State Jurisdiction

Senator Aliens much discussed bill
providing for the creation of a Board
of Public Utility Commissioners, in
troduced early in the session was de-
cisively baeten in the Senate Satur-
day afternoon when it was called up
for final action. There were 13 votes
against the proposed measure and
but four votes for it. The members
favOring the act were Senators Allen,
Prettyman, Viven and Truitt. Sena-
tor Allen made a brief speech in urg-
ing the passage of the bill and Sena-
tor Viven declared the best argument
in its favor is the fact that Delaware
is one of the few states that do not
have such a commission. Senator Nc
Dowell claimed it would cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 a year to operate
the commission and Senator Ridgely
stated his opposition to it on the
ground that it would strike deeply at
all public utilities in Delaware, and
not alone the railroads. He claimed
if the utilities are handicapped beyond
! financial endurance it is the people
who will suffer. Action on the bill at
tracted big crowd of people to the
