At present, no books will be permitted taken from the library. The committee, composed of I. S. Smith, I. S. Kaufman, Mrs. W. C. Bradley and Mrs. Henry Sengstacken lelt' that the $156 or $200 they had on hand could be put to a better use than being allowed to remain idle until a full-fledged public library could be secured and suggested the idea to the school board. The plan Is to invest this amount in a refer ence library, such as an encyclopedia which will be of especial benefit to the scholars for reference or supple mentary work. ' The high school is. to furnish quarters for it and also to furnish a librarian. Steps will be taken later to add to this library and It is hopea that In the not distant future, books can be obtained to establish a public library with down town quarters. At yesterday's meeting of the board, arrangements were made to have an expert sent here from Port land to regulate the clock system that was Installed In the new high school.

Rcctoi' of a Dcs Moines Church Treats "Pill llnbit" In Noel AVy. DES MOINES, Dec. 10. Rivaling the elflcacy o fthe Keeley" cure Is a new cure for smokers invented by Canon R. H. Bell, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church. When Canon Bell catches a young sufficient an sneakinS around the corner smoKing cigarettes he doesn't lecture him. Instead he offers to furnish him with a pipe and tobacco provid ed the youth will promise to smoke It in the open in his own home in the presence of his mother. "It Isn't the tobacco Itself that is so harmful as the habit you form of sneaking around and of inhaling that cigarette smoke," says the rector to the boy. Canon Bell's scheme Is working out admirably. Ho says when the boys are allowed to smoke a pipe in peace they soon lose desire for it and give it up altogether. Four boys, all foreigners, were pa roled to Cannon Bell by the juvenile court several months ago. The judge was on the point of sending them to the reform school when the rector Intervened. Every week or two the boys have reported to the rector and he In turn has visited them in their homes. Production. 294,210 196.5G5 215,028 65,270 58.4G4 servatlon Association in the offices of A. L.

Sportsmen 'throughout the North west will glvo W. R. Parker of Baker City, Ore., every support in his ef forts to secure state or federal pro tection for a herd of ibex on Mount Eagha in Oregon. Parker advocates the creation of a preservo on tho mountain so that tho only known band of Ibex on the continent may be saved from slaughter. He has hunted big game in Eastern Oregon for years, and possesses wide knowl edge of tho trails and canyons In the mountains, and believes that slnco the haunt of the herd is known to others the animals ought to be protected to prevent extinction. When he llrst announced the pres ence of tho band In tho mountains the chief objects sought by the or ganization, formed under the name of the Pacific Northwest Forest Pro tection and Conservation Associa tion, In Spokane last January, are the formation and perfection of fire fighting associations throughout the western states, In which state, gov ernment and timber owners shall join In hiring patrol and labor; the selection of representative areas for conservative logging and reforesta tion experiments, and the collection and dissemination of trustworthy in formation upon forestry and forest legislation. In reality, to make it a clearing house for all forest fire and conservation associations of the five states, also to cooperate closely with the United States Forest Service. Other objects set forth by the speakers at the meeting are as fol lows: "The successful preservation of the forest from Are, the framing of laws for cutting timber and dis posing of refuse in a reasonable, practical way, the reforestration of such cut over lands as are not desir able for farm lands, and to provide for special taxation therefor; the preservation of mountain streams for irrigation and all of the other things contemplated by the word ""Conservation,' and also to raise the money to carry out the necessary ex periments so as to reduce the theory to a sound business basis, for without all these elements the assor elation cannot hope to succeed.".- Particular stress will be laid upon the necessity of more adequate pro tection of forest resources, from fire. The forest fire associations of Wash ington and Idaho spent more than $100,000 during the season of 1909, and it is expected to bring the tim ber-owners of other states Into line. The association also expects more public and legislative cooperation when it is moro generally realized ton,, Mary Kruse, Elsie Hall, Helen "----n-a--a-M-a-n-tt-J----a-n-a-a-lJWM.I Estus Maude Conklin, Maud Brown, j.
