ARB COUNTY LIBRARIES A
SUCCESS?
The first county library ever In
existence Is located at Van Wert,
Ohio. Mr. J. S. Brumback of that
city made provision in his will for the
gift of a library building. His heirs
felt that the use of the library
should be free to all the people of
the county and they offered the
building to the county on condition
that it should support the library by
taxation. Nothing of the sort had
ever before been attempted and a
special act of the state legislature
was necessary to enable the county
to accept the offer. That was in
1898.
In the paBt twenty years the county
library idea has spread amazingly.
Twenty states have passed county li
brary legislation or established
county library systems. California,
the state where the plan has reached
Its farthest development, first passed
a county library law in 1908. Now
forty-two of its fifty-eight counties
are taxing themselves to ' support
county wide library service.
Our own state first passed a coun
ty library law in 1903 to permit the
Portland library to serve all Multno
mah county. In 1911 the law was
amended to permit any county to
establish a county library. Wasco,
Hodd River and Umatilla counties
took advantage of the opportunity
and have since maintained county
systems.
'The experience of Umatilla county
shows the development possible un
der a county system, as compared
with a city system in the same ter
ritory. For the four years previous
' to establishing the county library,
the Pendleton city library had a to
tal of 2271 readers and 4733 books
which circulated 84,673 times. At
the end of the next four years the
Umatilla County Library, which suc
ceeded the Pendleton city library,
bad 7820 readers and 13,600 books
which circulated 195,527 times.
Thus in a four year period under
the county system there was an In
crease in books, readers and number
of books read of more than 300 per
cent.
CASH PRIZES FOR DISPLAYING
OREGON PRODUCTS
Through the Women's Home In
dustry club of Ashland, retail mer
chants are offered three cash prises
of $25.00, $15.00, and $10.00 tor
three best window displays of Ore
gon products, during Home Products
Week, October 13 to 18 Inclusive.
These are reconstruction days and
the entire world is making effort to
get business back to a peace basis.
In years befoie the war Oregon
was too Indifferent to the industrial
possibilities of the State. We put
In our time cashing in on raw ma
terials and did not consider the fu
ture. A tree cut down and removed
takes from the community just that
much wealth and leaves us that
much poorer.
The industry that spells future suc
cess and development is the kind
that can be replaced.
Think of the possibilities connect
ed with fruits, berries vegetables.
wool, seeds, all of which may be
raised, canned, marketed and re
placed again next year and Increases
made as new markets are developed.
It is the job of every cltlien to do
his or ber part to stand behind the
Oregon manufacturer, to use bis pro
duct and help him expand so that
be may reach out to distant markets
and bring In new wealth.
This Home Products Week has for
Its only object the Idea of stimulat
ing interest in the products of the
factories of Oregon In sll lines.
Merchants owe the Oregon country
their best help to build up payrolls
and It Is hoped that not one com
mercial slacker will be found In
making the week of October 18 to
18 a great big success.
Mrs. C. B. Lamkin Is chairman of
the Ashland Home Industry club, and
the ladies of that organisation are
ready to support the merchants who

Home Proecl
Committees Plan
The Home Demonstration Project
committees in conjunction with the
Jackson County Farm Bureau have
planned their work for the coming
season which will be carried on un
der the various departments.
The child welfare committee rep
resents fourteen communities. In
each of these communities effort
will be made to decrease child mor
tality and increase resistance to dis
ease by emphasizing better care and
feeding. Bach community chairman
plans to make a survey of all chil
dren In the community as to whether
they are below normal weight and
then follow this up by trying to
bring every child In the community
up to normal by supplying the
things which the child needs in or
der to do this.
The home management and home
study tour chairmen met together
and made plans for promoting batter
equipment, more efficient methods
of work and improving sanitary con
ditions. There are twenty commu
nities In Jackson county taking eith
er one of these projects or both. A
greater effort . will be made to in
stall some of tbe simple home made
labor saving devices as well as some
of the other conveniences that make
farm life happier for the farm wont'
an.
The food and clothing project
which nine communities have taken
up Includes any of the problems con
nected with the following: Food,
Preservation, Production, Values and
Preparation, and Clothing, Renovat
ing and Remodeling, Dressmaking
Adaptation of Commercial Pattern
and the study of Textile Fibre as to
adulteration and characteristics.
A survey will be iiiirto In each
of these communities to find out
what phase will be taken up this
fall and winter. The past few
months have been spent on preserva
tion of food in. the canning and
drying work.
It is the object of this project to
make the knowledge of food prac
tices, which make for better and
more economical living, a universal
knowledge; as well as to help solve
the problems In clothing the family
at a time when there i scarcity of all
textile fibres.

10-CiP HELP
TO LOCAL HOTELS
A statement was made before the
Hotel and ReHtuurunt People's asso
ciation which met recently In the
Chamber ot Commerce assembly hall
In Portland that the free auto camp
ing ground of Ashlund had put two
hotels of this city out of business. A
look at the bote! registers every day
throughout this summer is sufficient
to refute this arraignment. Never
before In the history of Ashland hag
tourist travel been any better than
it has this summer, notwithstanding
tbe Immense number of tourists who
have stopped a the auto-camp. The
uptown hotels get very little tourist
travel going through here by train,
while the fact that Ashland has a
camp draws travelers here, even If
they do not stop at the camp.
For a few days this summer the
dining rooms at the Hotels Austin and
Ashland were closed. The occasion
of the former closing was due to in
ability to secure help, while the din
ing room ot the latter wus closed in
order to allow the proplretor to take
her vacation, ifs she could not get
sufficient help to run it during her
absence. Instead of being an injury
tbe auto-camp has been a help to the
hotels of Ashland.
