This argument h-.-a nut need elaborate exposure. The main purpose of the library is to counteract and check the circulation and influence of the empty and not infre quently vicious books that are so rife. A visit to any newsstand will disclose a world of low and demoralizing "pen ny dreadfuls" and other trash. These are bought by boys and girls because they want to read, and can nowhere else obtain reading material. This del uge of worthless periodicals and books can be counteracted only by gratuitous supplies from the public library. Whether these counteracting books be fiction or not, they may be pure and harmless, and often of intellectual merit ami moral excellence. The question is not whether people shall read fiction- for read it they will but whether they are to have good fiction instead of worthless and harmful trash The tendency to read inferior books can soon be checked by a good library If the attention of the children ir school is directed to good books, and the free library contains such books. there will be no thought of the eheai newsstand as the place for finding read ing matter. The economical reason for establish ing free public libraries is the fact that public officers nnd public taxation man age and support them efficiently, and make them available to the largest num ber of readers. Hy means of a free li brary there is the best utilization of ffort and of resources at a small cost to individuals. While a private library may greatly delight nnd improve the owner and his immediate circle of friends, it is a lux ury to which he and they only can re-' sort. The books of a public library actively pervade the community ; they reach and are influential with very large numbers and the utility of the common posses sion books is multiplied without limit. !nb of personal property.

BANK 7 SQUARE DEAL The Ruiriie River Land Company has always contended that there is no poml reason why the real eBtate bnsinesa cannot be carried on honorably and honestly, with due regard for the rights of both purchaser and landowner. Actuated by this opinion, the company has never yet misrepresented as to the charnctor of the soil or the quality of the fruits produced on snme, with the result that all who have bought orchards through this agency so far could sell out, if desirable, at an advance of 100 to 500 per cent above the purchase price. This is a history of which we are proud, and we shall continue along the same lines in the future. Men who come into this favored valley looking for a new place of abode nre entitled to fair treatment. We only ask of them that they will exercise ordinary business sagacity in investigating the resources of the valley before buying. There are three things the average investor wants, if he buys country property in this valley. First and foremost, he wants a home wnere he and his family can enjoy good health and the fruits of this section. Usually he wants to get locnted where he is within easy reach of the leading commercial centers and close to local markets. And he always wants property which will bring in a good income and is sure to advance in value as the valley develops. Will he be apt to find this combination in the hands of the street-corner broker or the average "butter-in" who persecutes II"' Ii" seeker about the hotel offices! When one considers that the situation is not urging many men with good holdings to sacri fice their property here, it is up to the homeseeker to apply to the regular dealer for what he wants. If he wants the VERY BEST IN THE WHOLE VALLEY he must apply to the Kogue River Land Company. When in Med ford. do not fail to call on the AT THE EXHIBIT BUILDING. Rogue River Land Go.
