Bids A Reliable Place to Trade Dallas, Oregon FREE LIBRARY PROSPERS Statistics Furnished by Librarian Show Encouraging Patronage During Past Seven Months. The records kept by Miss Jennie Muscott, the librarian at the Dallas Free Library, show a very creditable run of patronage during the past seven months. Large numbers of new books and magazines have been received either by purchases or gener ous donations from friends of the library, and a steady increase in the number of regular readers is shown by the fact that an average of 19 new cards has been issued each month since January 1. The total issuance of cards In.the entire seven months is 137. The average number of visitors each month has been more than 1200, and the total number of books loaned since January 1, is S395, an average of 770 a month. Of these the Action books were in the majority, the juven ile literature coming next and non-fiction standing at the bottom of the list with an average of only about 35 vol umes loaned each month. About 140 new books have been received in the library since the first of the year. , The month showing the heaviest patronage was January in which the number of books loaned amounted up to 1134, while the lightest month was June, with a total of only 602. All of the figures showing the busi ness of the library during the past seven months are considerably higher than those of 1907, and everyone Inter ested in the institution is hoping for and anticipating a corresponding in crease in its patronage during the remainder of the year.

BONBONS AND CHOCOLATES WISE TALKS BY V. S. LOUGHARYS' OFFICE BOY Have you had any leap-year pro posals yet? I haven't had any but I have had a very strong hint, nothing short of a box of yum-yums. Of course it was my birthday butl wasn't looking for it. I heard a good one about a polite young man who had just had a proposal from a nice girl. He couldn't accept but he was saying, "I will always be a brother to you," when she up and said, "Brother, nothing; If that was what I wanted I could pull one out from under the sofa right now." I went to a leap year party the other night and, say, it was fierce. One girl actually proposed to a young friend of mine and was accepted and they were wedded right on the spot by jumping over a broom that was purchased at U.S. Loughary's store. We have floe brooms for 25o, but I think our bon-bona (assorted) and chocolate creams are more In line for social occasions. They are surely the ail-right merchandise for birthday and wedding gifts. Some come in fancy boxes and some of the glace fruits are In burnt-wood boxes, mission style.
