All that, horrible night this young woman in the blue uniform worked in the cold assisting the cloc- ttrs until she collapsed and was Cken home.

GLASGOW, of this Howard County town are still receiving through the second public library to be established in the State, which also was the first io.be privately endowed--the benefits of the tobacco industry which flourished in Howard County a century ago.

The library was set up under a $10,000 bequest made by Benjamin Lewis, member of the firm of Lewis and Feazle, which at the time of the Civil War employed more than 500 workers and shipped 4,000,000 pounds of tobacco annually, sending 'lirge quantities to Europe. In those years Glasgow, a river town, had a social life and business prospects of rivaling those of St. Louis, but the end of the steamboat era left the city only symbols of its earlier importance, beautiful pre-Civil War homes and the library. Lewis and a brother came to Missouri in 1824 with little money, but "they brought with them the tobacco plant that had brought wealth to so many Virginians and which was to do the same for them. As the family fortunes grew, they built schools, churches and handsome homes in and around Glasgow.

Built 23-Room Mansion. In 1858, Benjamin Lewis began construction of his home, ''Glen Eden," a 22-room, three and a hajf story mansion which after its completion three years later became one of the show places of Central Missouri. It was the only house of that period 'supplied with running for kitchen, laundry and bath, but its furnace heated only one room, the 18 by 36 foot dining- room. The mansion was destroyed by fire in 1908, however, and only an iron fence that enclosed the yard remains on the site. Although he sympathized with the South, Lewis announced his support of the Union at the outbreak of the Civil War, perhaps in order to obtain Federal protection for his warehouses.

This made him a marked man. He offered a reward of $5,000 for the apprehension, dead or alive, of Bill Anderson, Confederate raider. After Glasgow fell to the Confederate Army in 1864, Anderson came in person to collect the reward, took Lewis from his home to the tobacco factory a quarter of mile away, and with his men beat the tobacco magnate, demanding the money. Saved by Woman. No money was found in the factory, and the beating continued while Lewis' old Negro servant Zebedee, went in search of the ransom.

Zebedee first appealed to the president of the bank, but learned that the vaults had been emptied and 'the money sent to St. Louis that day in anticipation of a raid. The banker, Mr. Dunnica, turned to 'Mrs. James Thompson, a woman noted for her resourcefulness, for help.

She led the -way to her conservatory, where she seized flower pot after flower pot, emptied the earth and picked gold pieces from the -Lewis saved but returned home with injuries from which he died two years later, leaving a fortune of $750,000. In his will Lewis left $10,000 for the 'purchase and maintenance of a library in Glasgow, and following his death his wife, Eleanor, and brother built a large library building overlooking the river at a cost of $26.000. The library, now 75 years old, still serves the needs of the community and is far-reaching in its "influence. In the waJnut cases are many rave old volumes and files of newspapers dating from 1840 to 1858, covering some of the years of this area's greatest But wherever it is, yo.u'rc going to have to give it regular attention if you hope to keep your car in operation during the war emergency when materials that go into'a battery may at any time become scarce and create a shortage. Can Make It Last Ordinarily you get a guarantee of one year to 18 months with a new battery; with simple but consistent care you can make it last at least twice that length of time.

The required care consists merely of keeping the plates covered at all times with distilled water; keeping the terminal points tight and clean and having the specific gravity tested frequently at your gasoline service station. If the gravity has dropped it would, be well to have the battery re-charged; if the terminals are corroded, have them brushed vigorously and coated with heavy grease. Except for the re-charging job, you can, if necessary, perform all these operations in your own garage with a bottle of distilled water and a ten-cent can of heavy grease. But whether you do them yourself or have them done, see to it that they' 'are done regularly--every two weeks or after every 1,000 mile trip you may make in less than that time. Cold Weather Warning An important precaution, particularly in cold weather, is: Don't replenish the battery water and then immediately garage the car for the night; you may find the new water frozen in the battery in the morning.

Instead, put the water in just before using the car, giving it a chance to become well integrated with the fluid already in the battery. An occasional inspection of the battery cable--the main lead to the ignition system--as well as the security of the "ground" connection, also is good insurance against future trouble.
