Performs Many Services
OF course, circulation figures, while
the most easily complied, are merely
one indication of the service which
the library has given. Reference
work for high school students and
club women has been carried on
throughout the year as far as the
facilities of reference books and per-
iodicals have permitted, and the read
ing room has been in constant use.
Interest in the library has also
been evidenced by generous gifts Of
books and magazines which have
come from patrons and citizens. The
library always appreciates good books
in such condition and Of such nature
that they may be circulated freely.
Several volumes Of popular modern
fiction have recently been received
and are being enjoyed today by pa
irons.
The new books have been catalogcd
as they have been added, and some
progress has been made in catal0ging
tho older ones. The aim is eventually
to have a complete author, title and
subject card catalog for both juvenile
and adult books, SO that borrowers
may know exactly what the resources
Of their library are.
The Juvenile Department
The greatest needs at present are
in the juvenile department. Although
new books have been added, the sup
ply is still pitifully inadequate, and
as the wear and tear on children's
books is great, it will take some time
to build up this department to what
it should be. New chairs and tables
have been ordered for the children's
room, and will be in place shortly
after the beginning Of the new year,
and will add a great deal to the at
Effectiveness and comfort and usabili-
ty of the children's department. There
is large opportunity here for growth
and development, and the forming Of
good reading habits.
The aim Of the library is to make
u large place for itself in the life If
the community, and to that end it re-
news its invitation to all citizens to
make use Of it's facilities to the ut
most.

Inc New York Americans, less con-
sidered than the Cardinals, won the
american League pennant because at
least four clubs. all considered
stronger. Washington. PHILADELPHIA,
Detroit and st. Louis, suffered a com
plete reversal Of form.
Three winning streaks of l6, II
and eight games enabled New York
to take down the pennant. With the
exception Of those sustained streaks
the Tanks played less than 500 ball
on the season.
Rogers Hornsby after leading the
National League in ba ting for six
consecutive years, saw his hope of
oqualing or lettering Cobbs record
OF nine in row shattered when he
slumped badly at the bat. The strain
OF leading st. Louis to National
League pennant undoubtedly handi-
capped his work at the plate.

months of conditioning and had one
Of the best years Of his career.
While the season itself was filled
with surprises, the real explosion of
the year as far a sbaseball is con-
cerned, was confined to the football
season. While the collegians were
doing their stuff on the gridiron,
major league magnates were taking
all the baseball play by severing rela-
tiOns with many of the outstanding
stars Of the game.
The resignation Of Ty Cobb created
the lOudest noise. then came the re-

SPITE BRIDE

Pretty little Hilda McGraw

which story one may care TO
believe admits she married
~ year-old Harry Fl. Trottie
on June IS for spite that
is, to 'sspite = another ardent
suitor. Now she says she likes
him-her new husband and
that he's a fine fellow, and
she wants him-but she can t
find him.
Harry Shoo.ed Out
Hilda and Harry had been mar
ried only q few hours when they
parted-that is, when they were
rent asunder, according to Hilda.
When, after the Rev. H. n. Hen
MIG had made them one at his
home. sos Fourth st. N. W., they
went to see Mrs. McGraw, the
mother was not at all pleased, ac-
-cording to Hilda. In fact, she was
so displeased on that perfect June
day, that she just "shoo-ed" Harry
out Of the house and told him
never to come back. That's
Hilda's story.
Mother Relents
Hilda now says that her mother
has relenled. and Harry will be well
come at the McGraw home. Both
mother and daughter agree on that.
Fut Harry-well, Harry not only
was baEished; he's vanished also, and
HiIda wants to find him.
Hfada was ''going with another fell
low" according to her story. About
four months ago she met Harry Fl.
Trottie, who hailed from Williston,
