The lecture given by Guy F.
Phelpa pri: the "Whitd Slave
Traffic'' was well attended arid
the interest manifested was
proof of the able ' manner in
which the . speaker handled his
subject, In a forceful manner
and yet with unobjectionable
language depicting the ins and
outs of this horrible traflic. At
the close, the audience showed
their appreciation of the lecture
by giving the speaker a good
otfering, and subscribing for
several copies of his book Ethel
Vale, tho White Slave."
'The Ladles' Aid gave their
monthly tea In the basement of
the church Wednesday afternoon.
This is h monthly event and it
brings in quite a little revenue to
tho church. Through their ef
forts they have been able to
treat tho main auditorium ' to a
brand new carpet at a cost of
about $120, which was laid the
first ot tho weok. Thin gives tho
church n neat and attractive ap
pearance; tho work of tho Aid is
highly appreciated by tho mem
bers and friends of the church.
They are, certainly a faithful
band directed by the tireless en
ergy of their president, Mrs. J.
A. Monahan, "

If you are a kicker and see the

that is proposed to help the town,
for heaven s sake go Into some se

town a chance, One long'-faced,

The public library association
seems to be somewhat dilatory
about selecting n site for n public
library building in St. Johns. 'A
number of weeks have passed by
since St. Johns was offered such a
proposition. The council appoint
ed a committee to meet With a com
mittee from the Portland associa
tion and look up available sites.
But the Portland folks intimated
that they would sooner work inde
pendent aud was loath to accept
auy help from this end of the line.
It seems that the money is ready,
for the project, and all tlint remains
is for the Portland association to
make the selection. Why the de
lay we cannot understand. Public
sentiment is pretty much chaotic as
to where site really should bc.Sotiic
strongly favor accepting the free
site Offered by M. L. Ilolbrook',
While others contend the location
should be in the heart of the busi
ness district. There scents to be
quite n number favorably impressed
with Block a, just below the city
hall,' for library purposes. The
chief arguments in its favor arc the
unsurpassed river view, the fact
that it is on the dividing Hue be
tween the two wards, is close' to
to the hi urt oi the business district,
good ronds lead to it, near the 'high
school so that it would prove 1
source of great aid aud convenience
to both pupils and instructors in
their work, and the owner has
offered it to the city for library pur
poses at n price below its tictiinl
worth. However, it is up to the
Portland association torccnmmctfd
the site, and it is reported that it
may do so this week.
