not well enough acquainted Wit. the
system in its methods of work and thai
many people did not know that srch a
library system was in existence in the
state. The main rcasoi for this condition
of Affairs was the scarcity Of money at
the command Of the commission and ,hat
every dollar received had to ba put into
new books. Here Mrs. Budlorg made a
strong apneal to tho people for personal
help in telling the people about these
books, their value and how they could
be obtained. tAnd if every person read

GOVERNOR HANNA'S ADDRESS.
Then followed the Governors address.
This was mastery. Not that it wa; SC,
learned or oratorical but from its very
simplicity and carnestness.
The governor had nc lefence 10 make

guilty to the charge. He had vetoed the
bill referred toby Mrs. BudIonc and witt,
it other appropriation bills amounting to
some three hundred thouSard dollars.

KNEW THE GRANGE IN THE 7OS.
The governor remembered how in the
seventies he wa clerking in 4 store in
an eastern state and how the people met
and organized q grange in tho hall over
the store and post office. How the women
had met and rendered their share in all
functions and later how he had met del

that these people We're justified in their
lobbying in Congress and would be if
they had safe delegations to watch over
the actions of the members of our own
legislature as well as how they voted.
That the packers and others had been
so insistent in their efforts to have the
Congress pass the oleo-margcrine bill.
and that only q few were effected, but
that he entire nation was affected by
the attack of these people upon the cream

URGED THOROUGH ORGANIZATION.
Mr., Hanna claimed that no machine

that in order to succeed they must keep

TOO MUCH MONEY LEAVING STATE.
The governor claimed that there was
$1,000, 900 going out of the state alone
for coal. Enough to take Cass county out

hope for improvement was education and
cooperation.
