Library Association Will Meet
There will be a meeting of the
brary association at the library
rooms on Tuesday afternoon, Janu
ary 25th. and all who are inter
ested in the matter are urged to be
in attendance. The matter of the
running of the library and the ex
penses thereof are subjects which
will be discussed. Some new books
are also needed, so come and let us
taPc if over and arrive at some con
clusion as to what is the best thing
to do.
Entertainment for Next Winter.
The matter of providing entertain
meut for next winter is one which is
gripping the attention of the com
munity club and is one which we
should look after immediately. We
all want a real live entertainment
and now is the time to make the
move. All who are in favor of
iromething worth while, please call up
Mr. C. D. Spangler and tell what
you think. He is in communication
with a real company and would like
to have an expression from all interested.
Community Club Held Meeting.
The Community Club meeting.
1 Wednesday. January 12th. was well
attended, road and weather condi
tions considered. Mr. Jones of Lin
coln, explained the operation of the
l calf and pig clubs over the country
and a great deal of interest was
shown by those present, so much In
fact that it was decided to form a
pig club here and several names were
enrolled at the meeting.
This is something in which the
parents should encourage the boys
and girls, as it gives them a personal
interest in the farm and home, the
lack of which usually is the cause
of their becoming dissatisfied and
drawing Lhem to the towns and ci
tie. The list is still open and any
boy or girl over 10 and under IS
McCrack- ! "fJ-',rs of may enroll by handing
their names to iee Kniss, secretary.
Some method of financing the
ycung contestants will be worked
out. so any boy or girl within the
rre::.rribed age limit can get in, all
thft is required is ambition and en
thusiasm. It was also decided to organize a
cocking and baking club. Any
girls interested, hand in your names
to Mr. Kniss. Remember these
things are only limited, by the
amount of interest shown, if you
are interested in either of these
clubs, get your name in and get as
many others as you can. the idea
the community club is to do the most
good for the most people and the on
ly means of judging is by the inter
est shown in these projects.
We have been indeed fortunate
in securing again the services of
Mr. Gaines, a real live wire, brim
full of pep and enthusiasm. Mr.
Gaines needs ro introduction to our
people as he was here last fall and
gave us a talk that we can still re
member with profit and pleasure Mr.
Gaines is not a single barrel man.
ut -a repeater ami -can return again
and again to the same place' and the
same people and make good each ad
every time. It has not been decid
ed, along just what lines he w
speak, but it will be something of
community interest and not one
should miss it.
We need some of Mr. Gaines' pep
and optimism and if anyone can sit
through Mr. Gaines lecture, withoux
that impulse to get up and get In
the game, that person is indeed a
dead one and arrangements should be
made for his interment. Everyone
come out and try this test. See if
you are worthy of living in a wide
aawke community or should move to
a cemetery.
Remember the date. Wednesday.
