Mrs. Erb's place in the library
has perhaps been best expressed
by the child who, one Halloween
night, drew a profile of the librar-
ian on a library window and under
it wrote, Carrie lives here"
1t is after these many years Of
service, and after having built the
place she holds in the minds of
most Laurel residents, that Mrs.
Erb retires from the position of
librarian. She has held her post
continuously, with the exception
of eight months, since the time the
library first opened. A member of
the library board has stated that
it is most unusual for a person to
give so many years of loyal serv-
ice in the same capacity.
Coming here in 1908, when "the
roundhouse was almost COM
pleted," Mrs. Erb has, in more
than one sense, watched Laurel
grow. She relates that n spring
evening several years ago she
planned to close the library a little
early and attend the commence
ment exercises at the high school,
but a barefooted little boy came in
and sat down to read and stayed
until closing time. The boy is now
the proprietor of a business in

BILLINGS ROTAR|ANS
GIVE PROGRAM HERE

Members of the Laurel Rotary
club were outnumbered by their
guests when the Billings Rotary
club made a return engagement"
at an ~inter-city meeting held here
Tuesday. Frank G. Connolly pre-
sided over the meeting at which
the Billings group provided the
program.
The first of two speakers, A. T.
Peterson, referred back to the
founding of the Laurel club and
read from newspaper clippings that
reported the event. Listed as first
officers of the club we're John Cor
win, president; B. A. Sherrow, vice
president; Fred w. Graft, secre-
tary-treasurer, and Tom Rigney,
sergeant-at-arms. Of the list of
charter members who formed the
club nearly Is years ago, only Il
few r now on the role.
Citing the achievements of Rotary,
Peterson pointed out the gain of
personal and community friendship
as a sufficient return for member
ship in the organization, but stated
that there were many other profits
10 be had.
"Why worry" was the topic
chosen by DR.. w. D. Copeland, sec
ond speaker on the program. Il
don't mean to belittle the serious
less Of the present situation" ne
said in a preview of an address.
that he plans to deliver before an
assembly of educators when they
met in Atlantic City next January.
In essence, Copeland pointed out
the difference between worry and
constructive thinking, and named
confusion as the greatest cause of
worry. "One reason we worry so
much" he stated, "is that we don't
know how to use words" The sit
uations which result from the mis-
use Of misunderstanding of words,
which he illustrated with some hu-
morous stories, and a great cause
of worry, according to Copeland
Other sources of worry that he
were confusing size with i'm
p%ortance, speed with progress
authority with intelligence, and
similar misconceptions.
at is a lot easier to worry than
to think" he said as he stressed
the difference between thinking
and worrying. In the processes OF
thinking one is forced to face a
problem and grapple with it, while
worry largely ignores main issues.
Pointing out that by doing each
work to the best of his abil-
.ty man is released from worry
concerning the past or the future,
Copeland re-emphasized the need
constructive thinking and the
of worry.

Above is the first unit of the
Laurel public library, which at the
time and for quite a while later
was cramped for space and reading
material. Both conditions were in
time corrected. The old unit is
the southwest corner of the much
enlarged library shown elsewhere
on this page. The first addition
extended it almost to the city hall
and relieved some of the internal
pressure.
At left is Mrs. Carrie Erb, who
has been librarian since the begin

Poor Wheat
Arriving at
States Elevators

Blackhull winter wheat, a
variety of rather poor quality,
has been arriving at elevators
in the south central part OF
the state, according to Henry o.
Putnam executive secretary of
the Northwest Crop Improve
ment association at Minnea-
polls.
In a warning to county extern
sion agents and elevator oper-
ators, the association secretary
said that Blackhull wheat is
not satisfactory for milling and
baking purposes, and is in no
way equal in value to Karmont
and NeWturk WheatS.
BIackhull was first released
in Kansas in 1917. A second re
lease was made in 1925 under
the name of Superhard Black
hull wheat According to re-
ports the Kansas Wheat I'M
provement association has now
eliminated much of these
WheatS in that state.
Elevator managers often dis
count Blackhull several cents
per buShel below the price paid
for other approved varieties.
Montana wheat growers can
best maint ain their excellent
reputation for winter wheat by
growing approved varieties such
as Yogo, Karmont, Newturk, or
Turkey Red, N. A. Jacobsen,
county extension agent. said.
