LIBRARY NIGHT
AT G. C. 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.

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.

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. Fol
lowing are tho lodge members who
handled the arrangements and acted
as entertainment committee Satur

R. W. Simeral, Villa McGlothlin,
