We close the second month of the
new year with Sunday. It is my con-
viction that the membership and
* friends of the First Baptist church
will pass the third "mile post-' with
joy and rejoycing. The church that
has a financial plan as our church
jfchas will advance along all lines.
Many people have been hindered by
by illness and other conditions over
which they have little or no control,
will see that their offerings find their
way to the churcjj treasurer, Miss
Ona Mae Godfrey. We have made a
check and find that it will require
one hundred and nine dollars and sev
enty seven cents to balance the bud-
get for this month. Let those who
can help us just now, bring tithe?
and offerings into the Lord's House
on the Lord's Day.

dred and ten members have been in

big goal of all bedroom demonstra-
tors, and Deljuan Clars, bedroom de-
monstrator of the Peacock 4-H club,
made a ood start toward this goal in
her work as a cooperator in 1936.
Now, as one of the demonstrators
in her club, Deljuian plans to stan-
dardize her bed, to provide such ac-
cessories for her roomy closet as hat
and shoe racks, to obtain a reading
table and a chair for her bedroom,
and to select and hang, correctly,
some pictures.
"My brother is making my radio
and magazine table," remarked Del-
juan, "and my mother will help me
provide mattress and spring protect-
ors )or my bed." And with such
splendid cooperation from the family,
Deljuan is sure to accomplish her
goal.

KNOW TEXAS
T. S. C. W. News Bureau
Did you know that if every indi-
vidual in the State of Texas would
try to draw one book out of the 56
public libraries, there would be four
people to every book. Of the thirty-
six cities in Texag above 10,000 in
population, seven do not have tax
supported public libraries, and 2,800
rural communities are without libra-
ry facilities.
Considerable progress has been
mad,, in recent years in the building
of libraries for the use of the gen-
• iai public, and in educational insti-
tutions, but the State is still deficient
as measured by the standards of
many of th0 older commonwealths.
i he library work of the state is
administrated by the State Library
and Historical Commission. Under it-
the State Library, which is housed
in the capitol, has been built to a
collection of approximately 130,000
\olumes. It is next to the library of
the University of Texas in size. The
Houston Public Library contains
ro2 08l volumes; the Da!las Public
abrary 123,448; San Antonio Public
uibrary, 112,862; Carnegie Public
iabrary, Fort Worth, 108,667.
In II collegi-M and universities .f
the slate, there are 35 books to every
student enrolled. The University of
1'exas library, with ulmo.s 500,000
volumes, is the largest in the state,
and also possesses a number of nota-
ble collections. Next to the Univer-
sity of Texas, Rice Institute, Hous-
ton has 'he largest college library
with 118,700 volumes; Southern
Methodist University with ^5,000;
