W ashington county news VOL. VI THATCHER VOTES SPECIAL TAX FOREST GROVE, WASHINGTON CO., ORE., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 10. 1908 Great Physician, and that cure is to open our hearts and try to make the greatest possible number of persons happy, by our gifts, accompanied by our love and good will With this thought in mind I am prompted to make a few suggestions for the com mon good of Forest Grove residents, to help them solve the problem of dis tnbution of their Christmas cheer. I wish to say a few words in the in terests of the Free Library and Read ing Room, which belongs to all of you, and in which, of course, you are all in terested. The patronage of the library is increasing all the time; the demand for more books is greater in conse quence, but the supply, and the means with which to meet that de mand does not proportionately in crease. In very many of your homes there are no doubt one or more good books that might be spared, and would be cheerfully and gladly given to the Free Library were its needs fully known. We are also glad to receive contributions of old magazines, which are sold at a minimum price, the pro ceeds being used to swell the fund for buying new books. If any one feels prompted to plav the part of Santa Claus and leave books or money at the library it will be greatly appreciated by the Board of Managers, the many pat rons and the library.
