Mlsa Gertrude Wagoner, who handles the children's depart ment, visits the various school rooms frequently und tells of the new books to be had at the lib rary, checks up on borrowers anil, in the north side schools, tells about the branch libraries. All kinds of books enjoyed by children, from "Hurglers" bedtime slorles, as one little boy visitor al ways asks for. instead of Burgess bedtime slorles. on up to the more difficult reading hooks are in the children's department. The Urownie books probably cause more disturbance than any other thing among the children when they visit the library, and they are always looked for first. The ster eoptlcan views on the children's tables are also enjoyed. Teachers CoM'ratliiir The teachers are cooperating with the library in encouraging the children to use the library. Only hist week Miss Imogen Huasell, second grade teacher in Central school, brought her little students to the library for a' visit where Miss Wagoner told them stories ond 1-cloed them to play a book game. The regular story hour, which will be resumed for the winter this month when Hallowe'en stories will bo told. Is another at traction for the children. This Idea was started about two years ago and each time the attendance is larger. Miss Wagoner usually tells the stories, although one of the other librarians. Miss lilanehe Herzinger.

Sifk County Library I This year marks the fiftieth an- niversary of the American library ! association and libraries all over jthe I nlted' States are making an 'effort to make tills year an extra big one. The local librarians are ' working toward the restoration of the county llbrury and hope to uc. jcompllsh that much before the end of the 6'lth year. For almost three years the lll. rary has been confined to peuplu living Inside of the city limits, those living oulsidc being required to puy a membership fee of two dollars beforo they were allowed to borrow books. Ilefore find time books were siatloned In ui of tile rural schools and cveryouo in the county had access to It. All of the smaller towns In iho county were furnished with lib. raries through the one here. Now there are as few as five books to 24 upper grade students In somo of the rural schools.

Those conditions, innocent enough in the reading but ex tremely difficult in the doing, confronted the La Grande city commissioners on their election two years ago. No one can deny that it lias lxen a hard job. The water supply problem, the question of sewage disposal, the need for bet ter fire protection to keep insurance rates down, the street improvement requirements of the north side with conse quent sewer problems. Thee are some of the more im j ortant matters that have had the attention of the commis sioners and have leon all ur partially settled for the com munity's iest interests. In spite of minor mistakes and pet ty errors, which arc the lot of any governing Inxly no mat ter how excellent, the three commissioners who are now ending their teim deserve distinct credit for a hard job well done. , The program that has been inaugurated and earned on in such a const tuctivc way is of great importance to the lcople of the city. It is regrettable that only two of the present commission are able to offer their continued serv ices to the city. Dr. Umdis, who is letiring, has given the same conscientious, capable, and business-like attention to af fairs of the city that characterized the other memlwrs. We are sure, however, that his successor will 1h equally well fit ted for a position on the commission und that the program and policies now in effect will be carried on for the city's good. .Nothing is more impoitant than a sane and con structive community government.
