Show LIBRARY Postoffice Girls Make Unique Contribution to the Bingham Library Fund From Their Own Earnings. Raise Money by Saving Special Delivery Fees. A small hall of snow rolled down a hill will gain surprising. propensities, . say the members of the Women's Civic league, and they say this proverb applies very aptly to their attempt at-tempt to start a library in the camp. A few weeks ago the word waa sent forth to bring all books and magazines not in use to the clubrooms in the town hall. The answer to this call surpassed the expectations of the ladies themselves. Boys and girls with armloads of literature and small boys with small wagons filled with magazines wended their way to the hall until the court room took on the appearance of a second-hand book store. The judge could not find a way to get to the bench. However, now the ladies are sorting sort-ing out the wheat from the chaff and they promise to soon have the library, in ship shape. They are being ably assisted by boys from the high school who are building shelves for the books. The unnecessary literature will fo disposed of. This amount to about a ton while a hundred pounds of reading read-ing matter will be put on the shelves. Postoffice Girls Help. .
