In outlining the needs of a library we repeat the words of Chalmons Hart ley who is authority on the library and what it does for the people. Mr. lladley says: "Any consideration of a public li brary project is complimentary to a community, showing, as it dots, a cense of civic responsibility and a de- ire for future progress which are commendable. No town can hope to liv up to its greatest possibilities without a public library, and none Urcade Theatre "The Village Hero" Ilio graph. Comedy.

Institution the people is the greatest economy. Any attempt to conduct civic affairs without ' a reasonable . expenditure . of money for such influences is the gros sest extravagance. ' No economy rt aults from Ignorance and vice,' and the public library has Jong slnci? es tablished its claim as one of the most potent remedies forBuch conditions. "It is no ewaggeratoon to Btate that every dollar expended Jor library pur- j poses is returned to the community ten-fold, not ; necessarily in dollars and cents, but in the more permanent, more valuable assets of greater hap piness, comfort and progress of f the peopK A city is the expression of every life within its borders, and ev ery Increase in progress and efflceln cy in the individual citiflin. is pro gress for the whole. "The most valuable things usually are obtained at some sacrifice, and th many advantages from a public library are certainty worth paying for. Hundreds of small cities and towns tax themselves for electric plants and count themselves fortunate. No one menu to regret this taxation for elec tric lights which illuminates the citi zen's way at night. Should there not be an equal or greater readiness on the part of a community to establish a library and so illuminate tSe mental horizon of every citizen! "A public library Is a nweBSlty, not a luxury., Every community which realizes this and establishes a Irbrary, proclaims , Itself an . intelligent pro gressive town and one worth livlne in." ;; .
