News of Fullerton URGE BOND ISSUE FOR FULL. LIBRARY A joint meeting of Fullerton library board was held last night with citizens of Fullerton interested in the development of the library, and plans were discussed for the putting on of a campaign for this purpose, and also to petition the city trustees for a bond election to raise funds for enlarging the library. The board unofficially sanctioned the following resolution: Whereas, Our Public Library has become too small and too crowded to accommodate the growing needs of our city, and Whereas, The library is maintained for the use of all the citizens and can be a help on every question and is glad to add new material on subjects when necessary, and Whereas, The Public Library has become a public service plant, an educational institution which is in constant use by business men and women, school children, college students and club women seeking information on all kinds of subjects, as well as for reading and recreation, therefore, Be It Resolved:—That First, that it is the sentiment of the library board that it is necessary at this time in order to adequately meet the increasing demands upon the institution to undertake enlargements of a permanent nature. Second, That in order to carry out these contemplated enlargements we feel that it will be necessary to have a bond election called for the purpose of raising necessary funds, and further, that in order to put this institution on an equal footing with other public and semi-public institutions of this city, it will be necessary to raise not less than $90,000, and that this resolution be passed to the city trustees requesting the calling of an election to vote bonds for the above amount.

Hollister has probably 100 cats which have been trained to hunt and slay the destructive pocket rat. His method of training his killers is unique. An old tabby with five or six kittens last spring was kept hungry and thus forced to hunt far for her food. Soon she was taking the kittens into the fields and they learned to catch gophers. Kittens brought from town soon learned to follow their companions abroad hunting. This spring the natural increase of Hollister's cats has been phenomenal, but he is consoled by believing they are all destined to be gopher killers. In several reports made by farmers a few cats taught to hunt in the gopher-infested areas soon rid the section of pests.
