HOW ONE RURAL SCHOOL LI
BRARY HELPED THE
NEIGHBORHOOD
The library of Bunn High School
during the se63ion of 1910-11 added
nearly one hundred books to an al
ready well -stocked rase, and what is
more important, more than tripled
the circulation as compared with pre
vious years.
At the . previous commencement
seme funds had been raised by givinp
a play and the sum had been wisely
reserved for library purposes. So wr
at once ordered a large bookcase of
our own design, costing fifteen dol
lars. It had shelf capacity for more
than twice the number of books on
hand (about two hundred). In placing
the books in the new case we catai
logued them, using a very simple card
system by which we were enabled tc
tell at a glance what books were in
the library, the name of the author,
and the title. We also arranged an
other card system for circulation pur-,
poses. Every child in the school wa?
given a card, which was kept for him
in the case, and each one was then
made to feel that the card gave him
a special Tight to get a book just
when he wanted it. The demand pick
ed up at once. Needless to say. the re
quests for books were always prompt
ly attended to by the person in charge
and that person was always to be
found, too.
Like most rural libraries our w-as
woefully wanting in books that appeal
to children. "The Decline and Fall of
the Roman Empire" was in its proper
place, but we needed Mother Goose,
fairy tales, animal stories, etc. We
ordered these, we already had Uncle
Remus, and besides we ordered fifty
copies of five-cent classics, published
by the Owen Publishing Company,
Dansville. N. Y. The arrival of these
little books was joyfully greeted by
the children and there was hardly a
pupil in school who did not read as
many as six of them.
Money for buying new books was
raised in many ways. The commence-rif-nt
r'fn has n'readv h"n merit'on
ed. and tv,.- v-ere contributions from
'ndividnals ot'i in money and books
Then. too. .vdvnntage was taken of the
funds provider by the stat" and coun
ty for s'iplementary libraries. The ar
rival of any new books was always
announced publicly, usually at the
Snndav School service. The Sunday
School meets in the schoolhoust and
affords an excellent opportunii for
distribution of books.
Reading Room for Young Men.
We now Iiad a circulating library
but the interest was confined chiefly
to the pupils. And a rural library to
be a success must extend its useful
ness to every individual in the com
munity. The problem of interesting
young men not in schools is always a
most difficult one, and that which we
think ought to attract often drives
away. With this nroblem in mind we
determined to supplement the library
in a way that would interest the
young men. A reading room natural
ly suggested itself and we at once put
in an order to the amount of ?14 for
a number of standard weekly and
monthly magazines, such as the Out
look, World's Work, Everybody's
Magazine, Success, American Boy,
Youth's Companion, Progressive Far
mer, and others of like class. There
also included all of the free bulletins
of the state and national departments
covering the subjects of agriculture,
home economics, and health. It was
decided to have the reading room open
at night, as young men in the coun
try work from "sun to sun." So an
nouncements were made in the Sun
day school to which everybody goes
that a reading room for the benefit
f all the young men of Bunn commu
nity and surrounding country would
be open every Tuesday and Friday
nights. All were invited to come, and
in their working clothes, too. This
plan has worked well.
Ail He magazine and papers are
filed in the bookcase, and, for the ben
efit of the women and stay-at-homes,
tlit children are allowed to takt any
of then home, except the current
numbers, and to keep then for a few
days. Thus the reading matter cir
culates and the usefulness of the li
brary is felt end appreciated through
out the community.

IR.WELING LIBRARIES HOW TO
GET ONE FOR YOUR
COMMUNITY
North Carorr.a maintains through
its Librar;- Commission at Ralegih,
a system of f.'ee traveling libraries.
General traveling libraries furnish
people living on farms and in remote
communities good books for general
reading; package libraries provide
students and club workers with mate
rial for debate and club papers: and
the reference department of the trav
eling library system supplies refer
ence libraries on special subjects. The
books are free to ail and any commun-
ity may share the advantages of the
traveling library system by comply
ing with the few regulations neces
sary to its efficient management.
General Traveling Libraries.
These libraries of thirty-five or for-,
ty volumes are made up of novels ;
and stories and of the best and most
readable books on various subjects
for children and adults. They are
shipped by freight in a box fitted with '
shelves so that it can be used as a
bookcase. A library may be kept for
three months and, if desired, renewed ,
for one month longer. As soon as '
one library is returned another con
taining a different collection of book9
is sent to take its place. i
How Obtained. j
Any community may obtain a trav
eling library by securing the signa
tures of at least ten residents, who
thus form a library association. The,
association elects a president, a sec
rctary and librarian, and decides
where the books shall be kept. Ordi
narily the postoffice is the best place
as everyone goes there, Lut if this is
not feasible the most desirable places
are general stores, schools, and lastly, '
private nomes.
The application for a traveling li
brary must be made on the cards fur
nished by the Library Commission. If
it does not seem desirable to form a
library association, aplication must
be signed by five tax-payers or by the ,
officers of a Farmers' Union Local. '
Thp rvles eovernine the loan of li-va:-jps
are few rnd simple. Borrow
ers r.gree to take good care of the
books and that thev shall be loaned
.vitho"t charge to a!l responsible per
sons in the community: to return the
library promptly: and to nav tho
freight both from and to Raleigh. j
Agric-.ilture and Country Life.
The reference departement of the
traveling library system contains a
very full and good collection of books
on Agriculture ;md Country Life
Single volumes are loaned to individ
uals; upon request a group of six is
included in a general traveling libra
ry; or fn books are loaned to a Far
mers L nion Local.
A special collection, called the Far-'
mer's Library, contains twelve vol
umes of the best and most readable
books on Agriculture for North Caro
lina farmers. This Farmer's Library
is loaned to five tax-payers or to a
Farmers' Union Local. ' I
Debate Libraries
A debate library contains namnh-
lets, government and state documents,
magazine articles and several books
on a given question. Literature deal
ing with both the affirmative and neg-.'
ative sides of a miestion is always in-?
eluded in every library. These libra
ries are not loaned to individuals but
to debating societies and n'ral schools
and the application must be signed by
the principal of a rural school or by
the president and secretary of a de-'
bating society. j
A!! the magazines and papers are'
filed in the bookcase, and for the ben
efit of the women and stay-at-homes,
the children are allowed to take anv

AN OLD MAN
Mica jab Weiss, the oldest pensioner
in the United States, died a short'
time ago at his home in Beaver!
Brook, Sullivan county, New York, of
infirmities incident to his advanced
age. He was in the 115th year of his
age and probably the oldest man in
New York. He was bom at Dancing
Creek, Monroe county, Pennsylvania,'
and was one of a family of nine chil-
dren. The larly part of his life was'
spent along Delaware River in lum- i
bering and farming. For fifty-five1
years he was a resident of Beaver ,
Brook where he carried on an exten-
sive lumber business. In his rafting
days he would frequently walk back i
from Trenton to Beaver Brook, more ;
than one hundred miles, long before '
railroads were constructed. He had
been known to drive a four-horse load ,
of venison down Delaware valley to
Trenton. In August, 1862, Mr. Weiss
enlisted in a regiment of Pennsylva
nia volunteer infantry and served un
til the close of the war in 1865. Mr.
Wiss was not a teetotaler, taking a
glass of wine or other stimulant when
he thought he needed it. VVhen he re
turned from the fiftieth anniversary
of the battle of Gettysburg in July,
1913, he stopped off in New York City
and visited the late General Daniel
E. Sickels.

THE RETURN OF SANITY
By Major F. W. Barber.
When the horrors of the European
war commenced to percolate through
the American brain a mighty protest
went up from one end of this country
to the .other.
Soldiers wfere denounced as murder
ers, as barbarians, as unfit to encum
ber the earth. Insistent and vehement
demands were made for disarmament
and international peace.
Ministers thundered from the pul
pit, orators howled from the stump,
excitable citizens declaimed in the
public streets, and even the great
newspapers led van in the march of
bedlam. It was the popular cry of
the hour.
If perchance some isolated maver
ick with an overabundance of nerve
timidly sugge:tc: tvsf t- country
was in need of brtt?r measures of pro
tection, that relio of barLc.-ii.i-.ism was
forthwith cast from the fold of the
righteous as a thing unclean.
The nation was mad quite mad
literally insane on the subject of
peace. And not entirely without
cause.
But the first shock and nausea has
passed away, and, as is customary in
this country, the people have paused
for second and more sober thought.
The sanity of the nation is returning.
People are beginning to realize the
peril that confronts us as a country
practically without the power of re
sistence. The public eye is becoming opened
to the fact that the American conti
nent offers many tempting induce
ments to an army of invasion from
foreign countries. The people are be
coming reconciled to the fact that un
less we place our country in a state
of adequate national defense we are
in grave danger of feeling the iron
heel of the would-be conqueor, of
sharing in a measure the fate of the
unhappy Belgians.
Peace loving Americans have been
staggered at the millions of troops
being placed in the field by the wan
ring nations of Europe, of the terri
ble engines of destruction at which
the world stands apalled.
In the United States we have but a
handful of troops, and at best we have
trie arms and equipment for a maxi
mum army of not to exceed 500,0001
men. Our coast defenses are lament-j
ably weak, and our navy is so small I
we would be powerlesn to prevent the
landing of the vast hosts of an in
vader. The demons of the air could
hover over the country and blow us1
into eternity; for we have no means!
of checking them.
These disagreeable facts are com-1
ing forcibly home to the people, now!
that they are taking time to calmly!
conditions as they exist. j
Men and women who a few weeks'
ago were denouncing wars and those'
who fight them, are today demanding,
that Congress take prompt measures j
for placing the country in an adequ
ate state of defense.
Thirty days ago but few of the'
leading papers of the country had the j
courage to speak in behalf of defen-,
sive measures. Today a strong de
mand is going up from the press in
all parts of the country. j
But this attitude of the press simp
ly reflects the mind of the public, for
the people themselves are awakening!
to the fact that their own salvation!
depends upon some measures of I
prompt and effective action by Con-
gress.
It is American sanitv reasserting
itself. I
If this country should become in-
volved in war with some powerful for- j
eign country, or a combination of
them, we would not recover from its
effects within the life of the present
Kf nerauon,
It would cost us a million Hvps in
the flow er of our young manhood, cit
ies would be laid waste or held up for
enormous ransom, the countryside
would be devastated, and the pecuni
ary loss would mount high into the
billions of dollars.
Business would be demoralized, fac
tories would be closed, millions of peo
ple would be out of employment, and
want and starvation would face the
poor.
Financial panic would ensue, the
weaker banks would go to the wall
and the rich would hoard the wealth
of the country and withdraw it from
circulation.
And this is only a portion of the ap
palling havoc that would overtake the
country.
But prompt and effective measures
for the national defense would pre
clude the iminence of such a calami
ty. Are YOU in favor of national de
fense and security? Or do you favor
turning tne other cheek" for
knockout blow?
It is one or the other.

RELIEF FROM DISORDERS OF STOMACH.
Mr. Wade Thankful He Read About
Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Reme

the victim of stomach distorders. He
tried many remedies and took a great
deal of medicine and treatments. Re
lif seemed a long time coming.
Then he found Mayr's Wonderful
Stomach Remedy, took a dose and
found relief at once. He told his opin
ion of the remedy in a letter in which
he said:
"Your medicine has worked wond
ers. I feel o much better. I am
thankful to you, indeed, for advertis
ing your wonderful remedy in the pa

Along with this letter Mr. Wade
ordered more of the remedy. The first

COLERIDGE CIRCUIT
This circuit is situated in the south
east corner of Randolph county, in the
Greensboro District, and is composed
of five churches, and we are closing
up a four years pastorate on the
charge, we feel that is due the loyal
members of our churches, as well as
perhaps interesting to some of our
readers, to mention a few things that
have been accomplished since we be
gan our pastorate here.
Mt. Zion is a country church with
rather a small membership, but thev
have a good house of worship and
Borne prospects of growing stronger.
Mt. Olivet is an ideal country church,
well located, several members and
good financial strength. Of course
they have an ever green Sunday
School which is reasonably well at
tended.
Staley church is in a small village
of the same name and while it has
been organized for a number of years
has never grown 'strong in member
ship. One reason has been the fact
of its having been shifted from one
circuit to another. Another reason,
that they have been greatly in need
of a better church building. We be
gan some repairs on the house the
first of this year, and had the build
ing overhauled and painted inside and
out, all of which has been paid for.
Rehobeth had just completed a nice
country church building before we
came in charge, which was seated and
balance of indebtedness raised, and
the church dedicated during our first
year on the charge.
About two years ago we be,;an the
construction of a new church building
here at Coleridge to cost about $5,000.
The church was completed this spring
and the indebtedness has all been
raised except for the seats which wilj
about $700, and this has been provid
ed for, and the church will be dedicat
ed by Dr. G. T. Rowe the second Sun
day in November. And last but not
least we have built a splendid eight
room two-story parsonage, this year.
worth $1,500 and it is all paid for.
1 have not mentioned these things to
claim any credit for my3clf because
I do not think it is due. I am sure
that any other man could have done
more than I have been able to do.
The credit, if any be due, should be
given to the loyal membership of our
churches, w.ho have stood shoulder to
shoulder with their unworthy pastor,
and encourage him in the work. The
man who is read out to this charge
next year may consider himself very
fortunate. The Lord has blessed us
with good revivals and reasonable in

the meeting here at Coleridge deserv

FARMERS TAKE INIATIVE
.Th? 'aimers of Ingham countv
Michigan, are considering the ques
tion of erecting a canning factory oi
their own at Lansing. They have be.
come convinced that such a plant
would take care of the market surplus
and also would make it possible to in
crease the acreage in that section of
sweet corn, peas, beans and fruits of
all kinds. The men back of the proj
ect have observed that wherever can
ning factories have been located a
large Jjome market has been developed
and the necessity of shipping avoided
or greatly reduced. Such factories
have proven to be boons to the rural
communities where they have been
placed. Without exception they have
given small farmers a chance at in
tensified farming and have afforded a
market for what the small growers
had to sell. There are about 200
growers who supply the Lansing mar
ket and they have found out that gar
dening is a good business. Many of
these want to work on a larger scale
and for that reason are in favor of
a factory to convert the surplus into
a marketable product. The experi
ment will be watched with interest,
for the idea is applicable o almost
any part of the country.
