BOOKS FOR THE GAOL LIBRARY.

To the Editor. Sir,—Kindly allow 111 c, through the medium of your valuable paper, to make an appeal on belialf of the Gaol library. It is difficult to overestimate the value derived from suitable books for the use of the prisoners. Such books as those written by Ralph Connor and Maria Corelli give great pleasure, and to carry , with them sound morals which are helpful to men undergoing terms of imprisonment. The men have plenty of time to read between 3.30 and 8 p.m. It is a mistake for people to suppose 1 that the library should consist solely of strictly religious works. Very often •< the men find healthy stories made bright J For them squally as beneficial. When { we come to remember that the gao! contains all kinds and conditions of men, we tannot bind ourselves to the i fact that there is a need for a variety if sound literature. Many of the men ike to follow up a course of study, and some of these men who enter gaol "un•ead" come out with a very good theo•eticnl knowledge of different kin,is of york which helps to the practical per- j ormance of the same. lam occasion* illy aked by the men for certain lielpul books, f lift, needless to say, I always " such tastes. Many men in ! >ur gaols are helped back on the right ■rack by moans of the gaol library. Magazines arc also greatlv nTwrecmted. f any of your raiders should have any nare books or magazines, mav I troiiile them to leave such books at tho I iflice of y<mr paper, and thev will be ailed for?—l am. etc..

THE COMING MACHINE. There is no necessity to wait for the •oming milting machine. The "L.Kf!» :ame five years ago, and is still here, 1 here is no difficulty about securing a wining machine, as'there always hns i icon, and always will be, hundreds of liachines which are just at the stage if either coming or going. The trouble is to get them to remain. In this respect the "fj.K.G." stands alone—as -he first and only milking machine which has yet demonstrated upon doubt, that it is a permanent success. Why experiment when you ean get the prov*?d and firmly cstablihed "L.TC.G." marine? MacEwans, Ltd., Sole agents, I'lgmont street, New Plymouth.
