Any town, however small, can maintain gome sort of a library, pro vided there are a few people In the town who really want one and are willing to work for one. The best way to start a library la to start one Leave the education of the commu nity up to the library Idea to be a matter of growth. The library will be Its own argument for maintenance at public expense. The main thing is to have a place where one may come into contact with ideas and In formation somewhat different from those accessible at the general store. The educational value of good sur roundings must not be forgotten. Often In the smallest community a library made up of clean, well bound, housed In a clean, attractive room will prove a source of inspiration and ambition to every young person who enters its doors. A reading room with only a small collection of books has worked a wonderful transforma tion in the life of a community. The best Ave hundred books In the Eng lish language are worth more than all the rest to educate and inspire the people. After public sentiment has been aroused In favor of a library and after all the clubs, lodges, churches, schools and other organlations have been invited to Join in the move ment, a public meetihg should be held -and a library association form ed, composed of both men and wom en. The object of this association should be to establish a public li brary In the town and to provide books without charge to all the peo ple In the community. There should be dues for membership in this asso ciation to control the library, but the bookB and privileges of the read ing room should be free to every one. A subscription library shuts out the very people who profit most largely from the library movement, those who can not or will not buy books for themselves. The Association should adopt a constitution and by laws. holding regular meeting*, ap point committees and elect a libra rian. * Anything that may be called a li brary will RePVewOt a beginning. At first -It may seem out of the question to attempt to maintain a reading room. It means additional expense for light, fuel and furniture. But a reading foom, open two or three times a week, can be of so much ben efit to even a small town that it Is worth much to have one. Having b fret til a reading room every possi ble effort Bhoald be made to attract th ? people to It. Having two or three tables to begin with, plain pine tables < are good enough, and a few chairs. The local carpenter can make your shelving, but nee to It that the shelves are of standard library di mension*- Subscribe for a few of ^ the cheaper magazines, like McClure, Munsey. Cosmopolitan, Ladies' Home Journal and the Youth's Companion. t In order to make your library popu lar you roust h?ve some good fiction and you must convince the townsfolk that there Ib something in the library on every subject. The Tribune and World's almanacs, at 25 cents each, are worth much more and may be used as substitutes for the large and costly encyclopedias. These are the essentials of a pub lic library: books; a reading room fitted up with tables, c, hairs, shelv ing. and a few magazines. If possl slble; and a librarian. The success of the library now depends upon the librarian and the support, both moral and financial, which you are able to give her. if \\ Is out of the question to employ a librarian at the ?tart, then the library must depend upon volunteer service. When this it necessary there should be one re^ sponsible librarian, with several aa ttatants. each of whom should serve for ? week or month at a time, and thy turn over her work to her ano cttaor in good condition. Tblt it prt ferable to having different ptoplt day by day. for eucb a plan always ea>?* m confusion. Remember the starting of a li brary 1b genuine missionary work. Much of It will be unappreciated, some nf It oppoeed. and methods are likely to be crltlclaad and motives maligned. But the thought that the Influence of your work will go on broadening, strengthening and cheer ing the lives of hundreds of people ought to be f com pensatloti au Helen t for almost anything. Remember, too, that the Library Comtalanion will help you. If you really want % li brary for your town you can get *Hm. Write to the General Secretary of the Commission for such help aa you nsddt * FROM OTHER HAXCTl'MK. Make Room. Of the Great Trio which adorned, the United States Senate two genera tions ago Calhoun and Webster are now represented in Statuary Hall. Clay is unrepresented. *Hls native State of Virginia has already chosen Washington and Lee, while his adopt ed State of Kentucky looks with much favor upon the proposal to pre sent statues of Abraham Lincoln an<J Jefferson Davis, both native Ken tucklans, at the same time. We hope that somehow room will be found for Clay. He was a most amiable and gifted man. who rendered his coun try eminent services. Besides, dat-| ing back to Whig days, there are a] whole lot of people lu North Carolina named for him. ? Charlotte Observer. Contracts For Advertising. There aro two words that we re porters, headline writers and edito rial writers have to use that gets as monotonous as a tom-tom after a few years, but there seems no escape from them. They are ?'interesting" and "Important." It is presumed that if the thing were not either the one or the other It would not be printed ? and yet, we rannot seem to do without these wordp. Another that we constantly misuse because there Is no proper word to convey the idea Is "sensational." We avoid the first two ^ordg occasionally by employing "significant." But that is ? not complete: "The fact that the board of trade yesterday signed contracts by which seven-inch double-column display ad- , vertislng of Asheville will be carried I In papers -having an estimated circu lation of nearly 1 00,000 In the South ' Is significant." Seven-Inch, double-column. Nearly 100,000 circulation. That Is fine, and admirable, aud progressive, and creditable and anything nice one can think of to say of it. Advertising ? that is the very thing we need, as a resort city snd and sec tion. ? Ashevllle Gazette-News. Farming nnd Farming. What this country needs Is not more but better farmers. The. Kansas City Star prints the following news item: Ceorge Logan farms 15 acres near Crane. He farms it so well that last year he received $5,4 00 for his vege ? 1 tables and fruit- Tbiw 15 acres are part of t ha ?40 acraa Wa father triad to bra with the aid of a family of boya, and the <40 acres never pro duced a ? much In one year under the old method a a the 15 acres yield un der- the now. The Washington <Po*t, Uklof cog nlsanco of It, comments aa follow*: \ Crane la tn Montgomery county, that contalna the town of Indepen dence, where the town la ready aala for fruits and vegetable*, and other equally good msrkets are in easy ' What u needed ia not mar* farmers, but better farmer*. There are mil lions of farmers in the United State* today "land poor" and era ry season "over-cropped." Twenty acre! well tilled and intelligently conserved will yield more than 60 acres half tilled and oppressively farmed. Perhaps It waa Pete Henderson who wrote a book with the title "Ten Acres Too Much." Possibly that was an exaggeration, but better 10 acre* properly cultivated than 100 acres slovenly tilled, if tillage It can he called.- More than all other causee thriftless farm'ng makes the high cost of living. There is no doubt that there is land enough in the United 8tates planted to crops to feed tho Cauca sian races of the entire wond, If the same skill. Industry and care were brought to the work that is devoted to it in England or France or Ger ?uany or Belgium.. This man Logan, with his 1-5 acres in Montgomery county, Kas., proves it by his thrift, diligence and intelligence. On the average American farm lunds are impoverished, weeds are al lowed to run riot, impotent aoeds are planted, tillage is either totally neg lected or slovenly done, manure is wasted, orchards are handed over to the incursions of noxious insects, live stock of every description is set adrift to forage as best it may. poul try Is its own keeper, and other thriftless practices are indulged ? and that is called farming. ?

Even its . supposedly salutary effects had been weakened, if not nullified, by long usage. The entire mlse en scene catered to the holiday spirit. The affair had lost its dignity, only to be Invested with a cheap pathos affccting spectators, ex ecutioners and subject. The victim was in the mountebank class ? object of interest by reason of his strange accoutrements. The audience was that of the vaudeville, weeping for the pleasure of being "shocked." Th* thing had become a most inelegant farce! These strictures did not cease to apply when the law made the hanging a private play instead of a public spectacle. We have seen the hills en closing a noble valley as the benches of an ampltheater packed with a black mass of eager humanity, stand ing motionless against the sky line while a nervous sheriff did one poor and lonely brute to death. We have watched, the ripple run over such a crowd, like a breeze over water, when the tr^p was finally sprung. Again, we have seen In a close, whispering jai| a poor prisoner struggling for hi* life at' the end of a rope, *hne for blocks about the building, the crowds hung in deep fascination, seeking to construct put of . their liqagfftatlon the vision which the bare, red bricks denied their eyes. ?
