Wright and little daughter, leavo that place tomorrow for an exten sive auto trip through California and other Southern states, with their native state of Arkansas as their ultimate objective. The announcement made this week that Air. Wright has dispos ed of his newspaper interests at Klgin and was so soon to sever all relations with that community came us a generous surprise not only to his friends and business as sociates there but to alt acquaint ances and readers of tho paper in the county.- The business transac tion was made some time ago, the change taking effect on April first. Accordingly, Fred Hefton, of Salem in the current Issue of the Recorder made his Introductory statement to his readers and Mr. Wright wild his farewell. This week's paper was gotten out by the new owner with the assistance of Mr. Wright. Air.

A. Hay to has recently completed tho Ubrury apportionment for tho schools' of Union county and the list of the schools together with tho number of children enrolled as pupils and the amount each school Is to receive for books for their respective libraries, Is given here with. According to law, tho county court of each county Is obliged to Includo In tho annual budget an amount equal to 10 cents for each school pupil, that amount boing the minimum. Many counties levy a larger sum, but in this county the 10 cent figure has been adopted for a number of years. Mr. Sayre In distributing tho amount among tho schools has always made It a practice to not fall below $1 In the amount to bo given to any ono school, even though the 10 cents per capita, would not reach this amount. ' To each school in the county has been mailed a blank on which Is to bo written tho names of the books for 'which tho money Is to ho expended. Theso lists must be returned to tho superintendent's office in time for him to send the completed list on to tho Oregon State Library by tho first of May. All books for school libraries are purchased" through tho Oregon Stato Library as. In this way, bene fits of a wholesale price are se cured. Tho books are usually re ceived by the last of July or first ! of August and arc then parceled j out to tho schools by tho opening! of tho fall term, Various school officials and pat- j Irons point out that a perusal of i the list as given below should bo! conclusive proof ofjho advlsabll- j ity of Hie establishment of a county j school library, a project which has offon been - proposed but which its promoters Wvo never been able to carry through successfully, so far. It will bo seen that tho larger schools benefit tho most while tho smaller rural schools wcro books and equipment are now meager ( get a pitifully small amount to lm used for library purposes. j Another Item, pointed out-by Mr. May re. and others, is tho fact that In the smaller schools where the books might bo used Just as ad vaulageously and w hero . only a book or two cun bo purchased with the allotment for one year, there is little or no incentive, to maintain a school library. Again, ho sug gests, take. a..baoks4icji as the .Ufa of Abraham Lincoln. "This ta and of the first to bo purchased and Is found in most schools which still have any of tho books purchased by these funds. Should there bo a county library, Hiero would be a minimum of dnpllcallon. cons' ' fluently a much larger selection of books, x while as It Is, no rural school has a wide line. j Supporters of the oounty library plan emphasl7.othe fact, that If the total sum, w hich Is divided up Into bits as shown below, were turned inlo a fund for a county library, which could bo drawn upon by all I ho schools of the county, It would , bo a comparallvely short time un til a library adequate for the needs, of the' children of the entire coun-. ty, could be uccumuluted.
