THE
EXTRAORDINARY HUMBIRD, WIS. DAM

The extraordinary length of the dam has, on such sandy foundation, required the
very best engineering and material, together with more courage than most men
have; and the citizens should (as no doubt they do) feel under obligation to Mr.
Schmidt for contributing so largely to the prosperity of the town.

TRANSFORM JAIL TO LIBRARY AT HUMBIRD

Woman's Study Club Completes Civic
Enterprise
Humbird--The woman's study
club of Humbird is the sponsor of a public
library here which has just opened for use.
Through the efforts of the club members the
jail, a building but infrequently used for
many years, was obtained and it has been
nicely redecorated and equipped for library
purposes.
Funds for cleaning, for fuel and other
necessary expenses were raised by the club
by holding a number of food sales. The
first books were secured through a
consignment from the Wisconsin traveling
library commission. In addition to these
the number of volumes has been augmented by
contribution of approximately 100 books by
club members and other interested people of
the town.
The project, which bids fair to be
successful will fill a long felt need in
this community. The library is being opened
to the public two days each week with two
members of the club serving in the capacity
of librarians.
