IE Spirit of Harmony and Good Fellowship Dominates Throughout. Not what stylo of architecture or how many thousand dollars intfeht bo raised, hut how soon it will bo till Marshflold can have a library of in structive and helpful books for hor toys and girls and citizens, was tho tenor of Friday's meeting in the Marshflold Chamber of Commerce rooms. Tho driving rain and wind storm that continued unabated prior to and throughout tho meeting, served only to accentuate tha impres sion of deep hearted earnestness, stamped on the face3 of tho mothers and fathers assembled, and marking tho words of each speaker. It was a meeting fraught with promiso for Marshfleld. Though its fruits may not bo visible, Friday's meeting marked another milestone in tho city's progress. There were no argu ments, no deviations from one straight line; the short cut to the library. How to accomplish tho con sumation of tho project and what thaC consumation will stand for were tho topics of the different speakers. Tho meeting was opened by Ira pay tho tax on the library for a year." "I feel as Rufus Choato did when ho was called upon to put tho lncontrovertablo on a firm basis," said Francis H. Clarke as ho ac knowledged tho introduction of Chairman McCormac. In substance Mr. Clarke told of tho wonderful growth which tho Pacific coast has enjoyed, its golden future promise; how, in a comparatively short time, tho most titanic commercial war tho world has ever witnessed will bo fought on theso shores by tho nations of the world. Ho showod how Marsh flold and Coos Bay, by reason of tho geographical situation, the resourc es and the harbor, will bo affected by this commerclallstlo warfare. "And," he continued, "in tho great develop ment that is oven now upon ub whero will Marshflold be; she will bo just whero she has a 'mind' to bo. You can't build a city on more commercial and manufacturing institutions. You must havo something greater and grander than all that; something that reaches the intellect, tho mind I don't care how we got tho library. I believe wo should pursue the line of least resistance. I am not one of those who believe in 'tainted money.' I don't believe mon ey can be tainted. If it can bo then we ought to get it in action and reno vate it." Mr. Clark brought out sev eral excellent points, of which lack of space prohibits mention. Following Mr. Clarke Mayor Straw advanced some good arguments in favor of a public library. He was followed by Seymour H. Boll who spoke in favor of the project and the pressing need of immediate action. F. 0 OF A. BALL GRAND Smith wlm rnnltorl 1irfrflv Ha nlifpnf. and what had been accomplished byjfwlns "lose speeches Secretary iuu uuuuuiiueu uiai iur. ueu nas offered a cash prize of $10 to the public or high school student of Marshfleld writing the best essay on, "Benefits of a High School." Mayor Straw and Mrs. Sengstacken were ap pointed judges of tho contest. The prize essay is to be turned into Secre tary Lyon by Thursday night, of next week, in order that it may be read before next week's meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. Following the prize essay announcement, the meeting adjourned. tho library committee. Mr. Smith Introduced Attorney George Farrin, who made a well chosen talk on the jiractical advantages derived by a city from a public library. Attorney Parrin, in speaking of the expense en tailed, cited police statistics and said that much of the money now spent in Coos county for prosecutions would bo saved were there a proper atmosphere In which to develop tho child in tho formative period. He al so touched on the value of tho library to the adult. He was followed by M. C. Horton, of tho First Trust and Savings bank of Coos Bay. It was evident from tho clarity and nature of Mr. Ilorton's remarks that ho has made a closo study of tho different phases of tho library question. Citing tho need of proper Intellectual surroundings for tho boys, he stated that the dime nov el was more conducivo of crime than any other one cause. "Show me tho character of your boys," said Mr. Horton, "and tho influences thrown around them, and I will show you tho futuro of your city." Touching on tho matter of a city tax for the insti tution ho said that this would servo to enhanco its value in tho minds of many citizens who would otherwiso bo indifferent. Supplementing Mr. Ilorton's remarks Dr. J. T. McCor mac emphasized tho taxation featuro of tho library. "The fact that It 13 established by taxation will mako It a matter of individual interest to all," ho said. "It will havo tho effect of taking hundreds of persons thoro who otherwise would not go to a free library." B. D. McArthur, tho Front street druggist, g.ne a forcolul and logical exposition on tho need of a library. "Tho Amorican of today," said -Mr. McArthur, "is a composite of all tho intellectual nations of tho earth. Wo havo attained an extremely high Ilano of mentality. Wo must either leave behind a monument of our edu cational advancement or a flat fail ure. ' Ho reiterated tho value of tlm i view advanced by. Attorney Farrin ! Facts About ilio Grip. Tho grip Is highly infectious. It stimulates other dlaeases. The grip picks out tho weak points of a person's constitution. Tho grip in itself is by no means a mortal disease. The victims of tho grip aro adults who perish from pneumonia or bron chitis, and tho aged who sink from heart exhaustion. Children, while prono to tho dis ease, enjoy a comparative immunity from its complications and dangers. In adults tho attack, as a rule, comes on with lightning like speed, health is suddenly overcome by a feeling of discomfort and depression. Ho "runs" at the nose; ho feels chilly; his head aches;' his eyes pale him. What to do go to bed ay once; take Chamberlain's Cough yfltomedy and nuinlao as directed forynlluenza. Do this and the grip isvoon shorn of its terrors. For salo y John Preuss. Over 100 Persons Enjoy the Hospitality of the Lodge. Femininity was out of its element and in its glory Saturday night at tho Leap Year Ball given by tho Fra ternal Union of America. No blush ing maldB graced tho wall seats while tho dance music sounded the males did this duty; also thoro was a fearsomo lack of those charming llttlo wiles and graces which go far toward filling tho feminine program on ordinary occasions. Saturday night was an occasion extraordinary. Femininity trampled In tho dust tho mask of artificial conventionality; trampled it fiercely and , ruthlessly, In revenge for four years of hard ship. Many a dashing "heart-breaker" did lone sentry duty in tho lobby of I. O. O. F. hall; also there was an abnormal Increase in cigar consump tion, over ordinary occasions. But "hope reigns eternal in tho human breast," and the lobby audience, gen erally, felt, that, after all, the indif ference Saturday night was only for tho purpose of pique, and not an ex pression of the heart. In spite of tho rain over one hun dred persons attended tho ball, nnd a most enjoyable time was had. The music of tho Acme band was of the dashing, inspiring kind, and was deeply enjoyed by all. Dancing con tinued until about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. The affair was well handled -and the ladies and gentlemen in charge aro deserving of much praise.
