Library Habit Is Good One to Form Saturday Evening Post Says It Is a Good Habit to Form Many Works of Reference and Indexes to Books and Periodicals Available. GEO. PALMER LUMBER COMPANY Retail Dept. Phone Main 8 imn The following editorial is quoted in part from the current number of the Saturday Evening Post, the article be ing headed "The Library Habit": "Our mail makes us a bit peevish about public libraries in general. Many times every year we are asked I to recommend a book containing in formation on this or that subject of general interest. We are dways glad to comply to the best of our limited ability; yet we never answer ono of these letters without wondering why public libraries do not imnr.':s them selves more definitely ami extensively upon the consciousness of tho who support them or who.se iitiiificiaiics they are supposed to be. "The writer of the letter i, obvious ly intelligent or he would not be seek ing information. By the same token he is interested in subjects of general concern. Yet, as obviously, ho does not know that about three times out of five there is a public institution not far from him, supported at large ex pense, which not only contains stand ard books on the subject he wants to known about, but makes a special business of supplying him with those books promptly and without expense. "From its card index he can learn in five minutes what books there ara on the subject, and attendants will fetch them to him on request . . . " "The library habit is one of the best that any person can form. There should be a more strenuous effort to inculcate it. Meantime take the ini tiative yourself." Get acquainted with your public library." Among the various publications in the local public library which give in formation of this sort are the fol lowing: "The United States Catolog," a work of the size of the unabridged dic tionary, contains a list of all books In print in the United States, with the names of publishers, and prices. This is supplemented monthly and annual ly. It contains subject entries also. Thus, it is possible to find in a few minutes a list of recent books on a given subject; for example, for the past year, eight works are listed on "Agricultural credit" Another index- which keeps up o date, with a complete annual edition, is the "Book Review Digest." This gives the names of the most import ant new books, with a brief summary of the contents, and extracts, favor able or unfavorable, from book re views published in the leading papers and magazines. Thus "When a Man's a Man," by Harold Bell Wright, 's given half a column, in which the "Boston Transcript" is quoted as say ing that "He knows as little about human nature as a caterpillar knows about the Halley comet, etc." On the other hand, the Springfield Republi can tells us that "Mr. Wright's psy chology may not be always convincing, but the book's wholesomeness and manly strength are probably more characteristic of American life than some of this author's sophisticated de tractors pretend." Less inclusive, but very reliable, is the A. L. A., i. e. (American Library Association) Booklist. This contains a selection of the best new books, with descriptive and critical notes. It is an excellent guide for the selection of liooks for children, and lists the most interesting of the recent government documents. It is possible to find any given ar ticle in the best-known mngazincs, by reference to the "Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature," which also lists all articles on the subjects currently written about. These indexes arc all accessible to the public on request. If you want in-! formation, and have not time to come to the library, telephone Main 700, any j time between 1 and 0, or 7 nnd 9 j p. m. If it is not at hand, tho librar ian may lie able to find it elsewhere for you. LUCIA HALEY. CHlMECLOCr 1 11 :j J I THE CHIMES Lord, through this hour Be Thou our guide, So, by Thy power, No foot shall glide. I Golden West Coffee I I is "Just Rifiht" JJ Everyone who has lived within sound of the Bells of Westminster is familiar with the verse given above. The origin of tho carillon has never been positively established. Some writers accredit it to a Mr. Crouch, who was a pupil of Dr. Randall, Regius Professor of Music. This, how-t-ver, is disputed by other writers who accredit it to Dr. Randall's conception of the idea taken from a movement in I ho fifth bar of tho opening of Haen dcl's Symphony, "I know that my Re ocemer liveth." The Chimes were first i'tted to the Clock of University church, St. Mary's the Great, in Cam V.idge, but were not copied until they were reproduced on a very large scale in the Victoria Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament. As a home institution serving the j eoplc of this locality enjoying your fcvod will nnd business favors, wo have in tho past endeavored to show our ap preciation by presenting our patrons vith calendars and novelties and oth erwise recognizing your co-operation i i making this a serviceable and suc cessful banking house. Years of prosperous banking have been made possible only by your sup port. We wanted to show our appre ciation in a substantial way and have therefore purchased of the manufac turers, the McClintock-Loomis Com pany of Minneapolis, Minnesota, in cluding the exclusive rights for this c.'ty, a large handsome clock combined with a set of soft nnd most beautiful chimes. At the quarter, half and three-quarter hour, these Chimes will ring out in various musical combinations; at quar ter past the hour, four strokes West minster, at half past the hour, eight strokes Reveille; at three-quarters rnst the hour, twelve strokes Cathe dral peal; and on the hour, sixteen strokes Westminster, followed by tho utriking of tho full hour, in a clear vibrant tone. May we hope that the Chimes will mean something to all of our people that they will have a message for tho youngster on his wny to school; a thought for the business man who hus Hps through his day; a solace for the old. Every day of the week the chimes will be sounding their message the note of warning spoken in time; the chime of rejoicing; the lament in time c-f soitow. This chime will be oil things to all wen for it is going to be kng not to us alone, but to men- and wemen and children of our community. LA GRANDE NATIONAL BANK, La Grande, Oregon.
