In the juvenile department, 301 new volumes were added. The Salem Public Library Is one of the few public institutions, able to "break even" financially, despite ad vancing prices. The financial state ment of the library shows that It Is able to match expenses with receipts. During the past year, Stll patrons have been added to the lists of the library. A a reaction from war con ditions, the' librarian makes c mnnent that calls for fiction have Increased. Another post-bellum Influence Is found In the noticeable demand hy returned soldiers, for works on indus trial nit and social and labor prob lems. This demand Is unprecedented and has taxed the resources of the library. BERRY FIRM APPEALS )!T North Palestine; (3) Recruiting " Service, Lebanon. 3:30 p. M.i-Muslc, Salem. 3:40 P. M. Business.
