 At present the library is closed on account of lack of funds with which to pay librarian. OPENS THE LIBRARY LONGER HOURS. The principals office will be open as reading room every school day INCREASES COMMUNITY INTEREST.
 Place the library in the school and you make it of vital interest to every parent in the community. INCREASES CIRCULATION OF BOOKS.
 Gives the use of the library free to all school children and their par ents and the books will be taken home and read.
 INCREASES EFFICIENCY or SCHOOL.

NEW ROAD LEGISLATION
NEEDED THIS WINTER

State Engineer Bliss recommends
some important changes in the road
legislation of North Dakota in order
that the state may participate in the
distribution of federal funds for the
improvement of roads. Under the
provisions of the Shackleford Bill
there will be available for North
Dakota for the year ending June 30,
1917, in round numbers $4,000 for
road work Double that -sum viii be
available for the next year. During
the five years covered by the bill
the state will be entitled to about $4,-
25O,OO0. This is by no means an uncon-
ditional gift to the state. It will be
paid only II the state complies with
the conditions of the bill, which re.
quire the raising of similar sum by
the state itself and the expenditures
of all these funds only on state roads
constructed under state authority and
in strict accordance with specifica-
tions furnished by the federal gov
ernment, or approved by it. II the
state is to participate in this dis
tribution of funds, it must revise it's
road laws, and the state. engineer now
urges the creation of a state road de-
partment and the taking of SUCH
steps as may be necessary to comply
with the federal law. The Good
Roads Committee of the Grand Forks
Commercial Club has been working
along this line for some time, and
will give its support to suitable plans
for placing the road work of the state
on more satisfactory benefit. 1t
is considered specially important at
this time that the state shall take
whatever steps may be necessary to
make it eligible to receive its Just
of the funds which hav.
been set aside by congress for road
making purposes.

at work, cleaning the grain before it
was hauled to town. He found that
he was making profit Of IA cents a
bnshsl bys doing this, and even though
the pricesof grain is high, he thought
that an additional II cents was worth
while. He not only received : much
better price for tho cleaned grain, but
