routine which has long been in vogue
here, has taken advantage of its
strength, exposed weaknesses and pro
posed their remedies. He has greatly
Improved the discipline, business ad
ministration and effectiveness of this
library."
In another paragraph, Miss Mary L.
Jones, the deposed librarian, is scored
as follows:
"This board appreciates the tnct, pa
tience and large mindness with which
the librarian has worked for the re
form of former careless, unbusiness
like and unscholarly methods, the
frankness and fairness of his relation
ship with the staff, the board and the
public."
This preamble is signed by all the
library directors, including Willough
by Hodman, who was the only member
of the board to oppose the deposition
of Miss Jones and the election of Mr.
Lummis.
In his report, Mr. I^ummis decries
the arrangement with the public school
hoard, inside several years ago, where
by the board turned over the books
In its possession and agreed to pay
a stipulated sum every year and sup
ply supplementary reading.
Criticises School Board
He declares that tho school board
has not yet kept to its part of the con
tract, having turned over any sum It
chose, from $HIOO a year to less than
half that amount, and that the sup
plementary reading had consisted large
ly of school text books, and that as a
consequence the patronage of tho li
brary had been largely increased with
out an adequate return. Iff declares
that it costs th« library $2000 a year
to take care of this extra work and
recommends that the school board pro
vide for tho payment of thin expense.
Tho librarian has nothing to say in
his report about tho action of the coun
cil in ordering tho department to va
cato Its promises by tho. first of tho
year or ray rent of $600 a month. Mr.
lAimmis has Included a section on new
quartern for tho library which was
evidently written before tho council's
ultimatum, in which ho states that the
department cannot afford to pay tho
cost of removal, estimated at $7500, and
of rent from $800(1 to $ll,noo a year.
TEXAS WANTS GREENEWALDS
Local Men Indicted by Federal Grand

Ing Lottery Tickets
An effort Is being made by the
authorities In (ho western district of
Texas to extradite A. IS. Greenewald
and J. tJreenewald to answer to an In
dictment on the charge of (telling lottery
tickets. The Indictment was returned
against them by the federal grand jury
of Texas.
Extradition papers have been re.
celved. by the United Htates inavshal,
but they are for tho iireaent nullified
by a writ of habeas corpus issued by
the attorney for the men.
Judge Wellborn decided lust week
that the Indictment against them wits
good and on a retrial before Judge
Kobs tho same decision was made. It
Is believed that an appeal to the
supreme court will be made on the
validity of the Indictment and If any

The Water You Drink

the MILK which the dairyman sells you may
contain germs of TUBERCULOSIS, but your
beer has been cooked and boiled sufficiently to

BEER IS MORE RELIABLE THAN

-DcCr the starch of barley, converted into, malt sugar. It is,
therefore, of nutritious quality, especially wholesome to persons
with weak digestive organs.
