GRATIFYING GROWTH MADE 81 NAPPANEE LIBRARY For a two-year-old library in a small, town the Nappanee public library has - .made a very gratifying growth in resources and usefulness in the year just past. There has been an increase of ’ 205 borrowers during the year, and 885 new books have been placed on the shelves. This makes a total of 3,062 books and 1,444 borrowers with 'which to start the new year. The circulation records show an even morwamcouraging. increase. For I lJewatobstv I92iv- thwSftlssfit- . turculalion of 2, flit, wnllb for December, this year, the record is 2,689. This means an average daily circulation of over 107 books. The highest circulation reached in any one day since the' beginning of library service came on the last day of the year, when a circulation of 302 books and magazines was reported. Thus, in the number of books circulated in any one day and in (he average daily circulation, the past month has set anew record for the library. There are still many residents in town ami in the three townships who should be using the library and it is hoped that during the coming year there will be a geater interest in the library, especially among the country, people. That the children in the country schools are interested in the reading oi good books is shown by the reports of the circulation oi the books sent to the schools from the library. For the month of December, Mr. Anglemyer's school at Union Center had the highest circulation, 138. This is not only .the highest record for that month, but - atso' for the first-half of the -school year. Mr. Mishler's pupils at the .Miller school rank second, with a circulation of 124, It is the right and privilege of every resident of Nappanee, Scott, Union and Locke townships, to make T,St v ’W the Library, and with the co-op-aeration of all these friends, the library officials hope in the coming year to surpass,; or even double, our previous records. -*• -oFILM CALLED HIT OF YEAR BY CRITICS “The Storm,” the. Universal-Jewel attraction which has won widespread commendation as the outstanding screen success of the year, comes to rtie Auditorium Theatre uii Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 17 and 18. An all-star cast, headed by House Peters, makes the screen version of Langdon McCormick’s world famous play, an artistic triumph that holds the spectator -spellbound. _ Virginia Valli and Matt .-Moors, play the chief .supporiing roles.. In fact, this stellar trio carry the burden of the majority of the scenes. With the action of the storm laid in the northern Canadian woods, exceptional opportunities were offered tor intense dramatic scenes, and ..Director Reginald Barker took full adi vantage of each chance to build up the suspense element. The forest fire scene, in which the flames sweep along in leaps and spurts, is magnificent and exceeds-the thrilling mechanical forest fire given in the stage presentation. AUDITORIUM ATTRACTIONS. Friday and Saturday, Jan, 12-13 Douglas Fairbanks in “The Mollycoddle.” Also a comedy, “Cured.”’ Monday and Tuesday,’ Jan. 15-16 — “The Shark Master." ■ Also the tenth episode of “The Timber Queen.” Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 1718—House Peters in “The Storm.”' Also a comedy.
