WORTHY PUBLIC ENTERPRISE.
The new Club and Community house
of the Circulating Book Club is about
to be completed. It stand* os a wor-
thy monument to tbe enterprise of the
Chib and the Community. At thi*
time the Hook Club members are aok-
Ing the public, if it thinks their enter
prim- worthy, to contribute to this fund
in miking he last isiyment of more
ihon 9600.00 to the contractor.
Not ,-lnce the first Rest Room build-
ing and lot was bought some ten years
ago hae the Ihsik Club asked for con-
tribution* to its budding fund. For a
number of year* a few business con-
cerns a very few- - have contributed
between 912.60 and 916.00 per month
toward keeping a iniitron In the Real
Room. The Club <to<-» not think it fair
for a few to do this, when all business
< on rents ai*» benetitted alike by thfs
public convenience for both town and
rurjj women, so in the future NO
business oono rn will he asked to con-
tribute to the upkeep of the Rest
Room.
No busimei* conrsrne or Individuals
were asked for the recent Agricultural
Hhow and Feetival to contribute on*
cent, either In merchandise or cash,
as premiums, for the reason tlut the
Club thought it unfair to ask for two
oontritMitionN, and believed that both
the business iiujj and farmer,* would
prefer to help this year in paying
something on the new building which
will servo the public from year to yeoib
for muny year* to come.
An honor roll will be kept In (he
flub Rooms containing the names of
all contributors toward the olub build-
ing fund. If you see a person wearing
a lag containing the wordo— "Howdy
Neighbor. I have given to the Rest
Room Fund"—then why not do Hka
wise? It i« a worthy cause.
