Mr. Jenkins, , the commissioner who will be beheaded did not agree with Goodrich f politically and that seems to be an , ample excuse for the state's dxecu- ? tiye to dismiss him. It looks as if the highway commission was created to serve its real purpose? The editor of the Daily Democrat recognizes the honor of being chosen I to represent the eighth congressional listrict as a delegate to the national ■onvention at San Francisco and tromises to do so to the very best if his ability, voting on platform, •andidates and questions as he bet lieves the majority of the democrats in this district would desire.

Mr. Center’s many friends insisted upon him again taking the nomination but he declined it on account of business interests which now demand his attention. His popI ularity over the state was proven , many times last week by the people I from every part of the state demand- . ing that he be a candidate. His recI ord as assistant secretary of state I for six years proved his ability and ! is referred to as one of the best ever i made in Indiana. His Adams county , friends are proud of him.

CO-OPERATION 6 OF LIBRARIES' Plan is Arranged Whereby American and British Library Assistants MAY BE EXCHANGED Project First Proposed in 1903—A Growing Interest is Observed An exchange of library assistants between America and Brit ish li--1 braries soon may be arranged, according to plans now under way. Recent ■ communications between a representa- ■ tive of the American Library association and L Stanley Jast, chief deputy librarian of the Manchester. England, public libraries, have revived a plan first proposed years ago. Other prominent British public libraries consideri ing the propect are those of Glasgow. . Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds and Croyden, and cooperation of Ameri- ' can libraries is declared to be assured. The plan probably will have the backing of the library association of Great Britain and of the American Library association's committee on international relations. ! The exchange of librarians, com 1 parable to the system of exchange ( professors, would promote a mutual understanding of methods of encour- . aging adult self-education in the two countries. The revival at this time of a project first proposed in 1903 is declared by the American Library as i sedation to be an indication of the > growing realization throughout the . world of the importance of public library service as a guide for the citizenship of a nation. Growing interest in public library service of the Amerf ican Library association for the Amert ican Expeditionary Forces in the war. . Poland and Czechoslovakia have established public library systems, having sought the expert guidance of the American Library associatio nthrough ’ its European headquarters in Paris. ! To promote library extension in , America, the American Library association is raising a “Books for Everybody” fund of $2,000,000. In seventeen states, less than one-fifth of population has access to free public li braries, the bureau of education de- . dares, and the average for the nation is less than fifty per cent. “Eats” Restaurant and Bakery Watch the “EATS” window for fresh baked goods of all assortments: Rolls, coffee cake, raisin bread, cake, cookies, pastries, etc. Try an extra loaf of ‘Eats’ bread.
