HearD about TowN In our last issue appeared a little three line want ad offering lor renl three rooms, with the notation tc apply to this office for particulars Well, we have spent most of the time since answering inquiries. Twc reasons for this, shortage of houses or apartments, and the fact that the notice appeared in the family Jour nal which is read by sundry and alL Another cold spell struck here Monday night, and believe us it was cold, with the wind blowing some thing like about 60 miles an hour? or something near it. These cold spells we fear is playing havoc with the wheat crop, for with no pro tection it has a mighty poof chance So far this season there has been only one snow, and it was barely visible on the ground. While we have reached the age where snow does not appeal to us, there 1s noth ing which would be of more benefit to the farmer than a ten or fifteen inch snowfall. Today week the tobacco market will close here, and as soon as the weather permits the farmers will get busy on their plant beds; how ever, it is not going to be necessary to prepare such huge beds, as Uncle Sam is going to see that you do not go beyond bounds and produce a bumper crop, at liast if you do he will see that all of the profit is taken out of the crop; either a li cense to sell only what you agreed to raise or such a tax on all over that amount that there will be no profit in it. Just what measure is going to be adopted is problemati cal, but rest assured he is going tc see that you live up to your con ract, as well as seeing that those who refused to sign do not profiteer by such refusal. Thank goodness, there is only a short while until the ground hog will have accomplished his purpose, Just three more weeks, and then he can come out of hiding and we will soon have some spring weather He promised us six weeks of win ter weather and he has surely fur nished us with three weeks of jusl that. - .? o County jails were the scene ol executions for capital crimes ir Ohio until 1885.

This is quite q contrast with the present day when many of the manufacturers have advance orders before their prices are even announced.

PRECIOUS BOOKS Why and where they are treasured <Continued from last week). But there is another type of li brary with quite a different purpose, where the books that can seldom be replaced are housed. These volumes must be carefully protected from careless handlings as well as from the wear and tear of constant use, for they constitute our library and historical inheritance. Throughout the ages whenever men have gained leisure from actual toll, they have turned towards the arts and literature. They have col lected books and these collections mark the peak of civilization and culture in nations and eras. Theyj have saved for the literary treas- j ures of the past. The libraries of Florence, Venice and Rome, for example, gathered many Greek manscripts that would. otherwise "haVe'been destroyed in' th? war, I England's development for world trade in the eighteenth and nine teenth cenutrieg enable her book i lovers to use their Increased wealth I to form vast libraries which have added not a little to the universal, mathematical and literary treasure. At the time of the world war, many I of these collections had to be sold, and our own libraries are richer because some men of wealth were able to acquire quantities of these rare books, some of these records of great significance in American de velopment.?Virginia Whitten.
