BOOK COMPANY REBUKED
STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY
COMMISSION CONDEMNS IT'S ADJ
vERTIsING PRACTICES.

The American Book company was
roundly rebuked in resolution adopted
yesterday by the state public school
library commission. The commission
discovered that the book trust was
sending out to school directors printed
list of it's books, carrying what pur-
ported to be an Endorsement Of them
by State Superintendent Olsen. The
lists were printed on a blank, and on
the back was a copy of instructions
taken from the state library catalogs,
and signed by Mr.. Olsen. This created
the impression; that the list was one
approved by the commission.
superintendent Olsen, who is chair
man of the commission, called attention
to the act, and the commission adopted
the following resolution:
| Whereas, a certain list of library books,
all published by the American Book com
pany, has been sent out to school officers
In the state over the signature of the
state superintendent Of public instruction,
| who is the chairman of the state public
school library commission.
Whereas, this has been done without his
knowledge and consent and 45%
Whereas, such list appears to beSrecom-
mended by him. and thereby has the ap-
pearance Of an official publication and
recommendation,
| Resolved, That the public school H..
brary commission disclaims all RESPONSE
bility for the making and distribution OF
said list, and hereby expresses it's disap-
| probation of such an unwarranted pro.
| cedure.

for which there is not the slightest
need, it's only excuse being the demands
of fashion.
$50 far, we have been unable to Sc.

single case into court, but just as soon
as the opportunity comes we are going
to do 50, no matters,who it. hits: There
is a special law against the docking
Of horses tails. providing q penalty
operation, and upon the owner who
authorizes it, of $25 to 500 fine OF
thirty to ninety days in Jail.
"This is we'll known to the guilty
ones, and the docking, acordingly,i is per
formed at night, and behind LOCKED
doors with guards on the watch. Their
the suffering animals are kept indoor:
until the mutilated stumps heal. And
when they finally appear on the, streets
if the owners, are approached, they
swear the horses were locked before

true of the 'nicking. This comes un
der the general law of cruelty to ami
mails, but carries the same penalty.
"The society has but two officers il

with all their other work, to do the de
tective work-the long watching ant
shadowing necessary before evidenc,

GAS president of the society, how

TO AVOID ELECTROLYSIS
Street Railway Proposes Plans for Use
In St.nPaui. - -

The Twin City Rapid Transit company
has submitted plans to the board of wa
ter commissioners at ST. Paul to avoid
electrolysis sof the water mains. The idea
is to return the electricity to the power
house by Installing a wire between the
double tracks, To do SO it will be nee
essary to maintain substations at Uni
versity and Smelling, and Wabash and
College avenues. Sargent & Lundy of
Chicago, electrical engineers, studied the
situation at ST Paul and proposed the
relief. They have reported to the water
department that the worst leak Is on the
Fort Smelling line. The conduits for the
system will cost much money and the
copper wire $23,956, but the company will
save much under the plan in generating
power. When suit was instituted by the
city for damage to water pipes, as a COM
promise the company, promised to rem
edy the trouble.

$4,000 MORE IS NEEDED
COMMITTEE ISSUES SECOND AP-
PEAL FOR FUNDS FOR lorna
DO SUFFERERS AT Z WACONIA
AND ST. LOUIS PARK. 4, ~

Three thousand dollars have been.
raised for the storm sufferers at Wa
coma and St. Louis Park, but the com
mittee estimates that $4,000 more is
needed. The following appeal has been
made by the committee: ia
The latest reports from Waconia and St.!
Louis Park show that there is still great
restitution among those whose homes and
entire belongings were swept away by the
recent tornado. F. ~ :
There Is imperative need Of funds to re-
lieve the necessities Of the sufferers At
Waconia the destruction was CO complete
that the people and local authorities arc
wholly unable to care for these sufferers
and must have outside aid or great suf-
ferfng will ensue.
The situation is little better in St. Louis
Park. After full investigation your COM
nittee is satisfied that at least $4,000
should be raised to provide necessary
food, clothing and shelter. +s- In, &, 81
There are at least $4,000 persons here
who could afford to give at least 10 cents
each without feeling it, and that would
raise $4,000. Others could make UP the
balance. Minneapolis has never turned a
deaf ear to the cry of the needy, and
she will do so now.
An immediate and general, response Is
! all that is required and the good deed will
be DONE Below Is given a list of places
where contributions may be made. Cut
