—Hon. Leslie C. Cornish
Elected President and Other
Officers Chosen
The annual meeting of tlie Lithgow
Library and Heading Room was hold
at the library on Wednesday, Jan. 11,
192!.
The report of the librarian. Miss
Julia M. Clapp, shows a large increase
in the work of the library during the
past year, the total circulation for
the year being 33,959, a gain of 3306
over the preceding year, or about 10
per cent. The total number of books
in the library,' exclusive of bound
magazines, is 14.426, an increase of
1232 over the previous year. Many
| valuable books have been presented
I to the library, among the generous
| givers being Charles P. Kling of New
York City and Arthur Emmons Pear
son of West Newton, Mass.
The Income of the General Setli
Williams Fund for the benefit of tlic
rural schools has been expended to
good advantage. During the summer j
vacation the six boxes of books were |
returned to the library-, and the books ;
were inspected and repaired and n**w)
I volumes added. Five additional boxfsj
j were purchased and filled, making 11;
I in all, one for each of the rural j
schools. Their transfer from school)
, to school is under the charge of. iiic
! superintendent of schools, Herman li. j
Si tm rt. ;
The librarian regretfully reports j
the abuse of the privileges of the rea 1- j
i ing room by some of the patrons wl o ;
[ mutilate the books and magazines and j
in some instances carry the magazine. !
; away outright. Steps must he taken t
' to prevent this conduct.
! The report of Richard E. Goodwin, j
I Hie treasurer, shows the total receipts i
i for the year to be 93676.36. and me j
! total expenditures 93480.9$, leaving aj
j I alance on hand January 1, 1922. cf;
$196 18. Owing to the increased cos'
; of books and of everything connected 1
• with tlie maintenance and operation j
1 of the plant, a larger income will soon !
.become imperative. During the pres-;
erit year, insurance premiums to the j
j amount of J750 will fall due and the I

That Tanlae is a wonderful medl- '

the throe children shown in this pic

in fine, robust health. The state
ments made by their parents, are as
follows:
Mr. A. M. JJIair. residing at 20 At
wood street. Providence, K. I., said:
‘AVc are just so happy over the
iliange Tanlae has made in our littl,
girl that we can't do or say enough
to show our appreciation. She* had
lost nearly 20 pounds in weight and
looked 'so frail and- weak that her
mother and 1 were both almost wor
ried sick over her condition. Since
taking Tanlae, she lias already gained
10 pounds, her color is better than it
ever lias been and she looks and acts
like a different girl.”
Mrs. Catherine McCabe, 414 Dick
ms Ate., Scranton, Pa., said: "The
‘flu' left my little Regina in such a
had condition that I have no idea she
would be with me now if it hadn't
been for Tanlae. It is a mystery to
me how sin1 lived on the little she
das eating and was so lifeless she
never even cared to play with Ihe
dolls and tops she got at Christmas.
Since taking Tanlae she is as hardy
and well as any child could be and
lias gained 15 pou ds in weight. 1
will always praise Tanlae for restor
ing our little gill's health."

Spanish song3 have heen among the
i most pleasing features of his Re
citals for not only are they beautwul

sings them as only one of Spanish
blood can sipg then. To these he
lias added interesting songs of simi
lar ^nature from the Basque Provinces,
from Portugal and from the fastness

Thus Mr. de Gogorza has not only
added much to the interest of his
own recitals but he has made most
valuable contribution to the reper

indebted to him for what he has done.

more than a dozen good craft got
stuck in the snow along the sides of

the only way the driver could get

run backwards, down the hill, almost

Many Problems for
Stock Growers
of United States ,
Colorado Springs, Colo., Jan. 12—
Never before have the stockgrowers
of the country been confronted with
as many or as serious problems as
those being faced today, Senator
John B. Kendrick, of Wyoming told
the American Live Stock Association
in convention here today.
“The solution of our tusk,” said
Senator Kendrick, “lies along the line
of patient and courageous co-opera
tion on the part of all. Let it not be
said that the laborers are few or
lacking in diligence.”
Senator Kendrick voiced his ap
proval of what is known as the Agri
cultural Bloc in the Senate when he
said:
• “The prospect of obtaining modifi
! rations in the tariff hill, favorable to
j the wool growers and live stock pro
ducers. is increased by the fact that
j nearly every member of the so-called
: Agricultural Bloc is in favor of such
I changes. And I may say here that
the membership of this Bloc is com
posed almost exclusively of senators
from the West and South, and in
cludes something like an even number
of members of both political parties.
“The actions of this grout) of men
.arc not based upon an attitude either
in opposition to or in favor of any
political party, neither are they an
tagonistic to anything that speaks for
the welfare of any other industry or
any section of the Nation. They are
less concerned as to party politics
and more concerned about the wel
fare of tlie people for whom They as
sume to speak, and they have been
particularly concerned in securing at
least limited recognition for agricul
tural and livestock interests.
Senator Kendrick praised Presi
dent Harding's efforts to secure some
measure of relief for the livestock
raisers and also paid a high tribute to
Secretary of Agriculture Henry C.
Wallace. ,
“It is doubtful,” he said, “if in all
the land a man could be found more
worthy and well qualified or one in
whom there is reposed more univer
sal respect and confidence than our
present Secretary of Agriculture,
Henry (\ Wallace.
“An important part of our legisla
tive program is the enactment of a
law that will prove a more perma
nent system of credits for producers
of live stock than are now available.
We hav e at this time one of the most
effective systems of commercial cred
its enjoyed by any of the great na- j
tions. The Farm Loan Act has pro- <
vided a fairly satisfactory method of
making loans based upon landed sc- j
curities, but no system of credits has j
yet been provided that will afford to !
stockmen reasonable access to loan- !
able funds at low rates of interest
and covering the necessary period of
time required in the production of
live stock.”
In talking of the railroad situation
as it concerns livestock raisers, Sena
tor Kendrick said: “One of the
many causes that have contributed
so largely to the distress and dis
couragement of livestock producers
has been tile unjust, and as we fully
believe, the unnecessary ineicase in
freight rates.”
In discussing market receipts,
i Senator Kendrick said:
j "One of the most serious questions
I demanding attention at our hands is
! that of congested receipts in our
[ markets. It is 'reasonable to believe
j that stabilized receipts would go far
(toward stabilizing prices. It is becom
ing more and more apparent that there
is an urgent need for some form of
| concerted action by which receipts in
| our markets may be more evenly dis
tributed. A consu .ative estimate
I would probably show that the licavi
j < st losses sustained by stockmen are
j occasioned through our present indfs
| erect system of marketing.
“Summarizing the problems which
are to be sol veil, we must first con
tend for and secure an adjustment of
railroad rates tliat will be based upon
equity and fairness.
"It would seem imperative that we
promptly take such steps as
seem advisable toward bringing such
j influences to bear as will tend to reg
ulate the volume of receipts in our
markets. '
| “Through co-operation with allied
branches of our industry wc must
exercise such legitimate influences as
we have toward increasing the con
sumption and thus the demand for
our products.”
