LIBRARY NOTES

Library hours, 9 a. m. to p. m.
daily except Sundays when the read
ing room is open from 2 to 8 p. m.
The children's room is open every
afternoon from S:3O to $50 o'clock
and every Saturday afternoon from
1880 to $3.50 o'clock.
Beginning today, the usual library
schedule will be resumed. The day
light saving plan, which was adopted
for the summer months, has been
very satisfactory, and much work
has been accomplished during the
cool morning hours that otherwise
could not have been done.
The largest shipment of books and
bound magazines that is made dur
ing the year has been turned from
the bindery, and the library is ready
earlier than usual to meet the de-
mands of the schools and clubs. Sew
eral Of the women's clubs have failed
to advance copies of their programs
to us this summer, and If efficient
work is to be expected of the library
during the winter, we earnestly re-
quest that this matter be attended to
at once.
Probably the most important book
.ceived at this library is The National
Service Handbook, which is issued
by the committee on public informa-
ton. This committee is composed
of the secretaries of war, state, navy,
and its aim is to train the nation for
war. The preface reads, AT this
time IL is of vital importance that all
men and women throughout the land
work together without wasteful
haste, without misdirected effort, but
with every ability and resource fully
commanded in cooperation for the
speedy ending of the war. 1t is to
point out the most useful avenues
of service, and to inform the COM
munity Of the tasks undertaken by
the army and navy and the aviation
corps, behind the pillow and at the
machine, by banks and railroads, by
doctors, nurses and social workers
everywhere, that this handbook Is
sent throughout the nation" We
will make a reference tool of this
book, and it will be found at the
loan desk, where 1t may, be, and we
hope 1t will be, freely consulted.
The collecting and packing of
books and magazines for the war
camps is finished, and we are wait
ing for directions before sending
number, 1859 in all. is q fair re-
Spouse to the appeal. We are CRATE
full to everyone who helped in this
work, both with manual labor and
advertising. If all towns in the Unit
ed States respond as we'll in pro-
portion as Fargo has, there will be
plenty Of good reading material in
the cantonments and war camps this
winter.

KINDRED CLUB
PROPOSES Ban
Would Neither Sell Wheat
on Hand, or Raise More
Protest the Price

Kindred, N. D.. Sept. S.-At a
meeting of the Kindred Farmers
club. held Saturday night, the price
of wheat as fixed ny the government
was the topic of discussion, resolu-
tions being adopted protesting
against the price determined upon.
The club, according to r. ]. Huse-
by, the secretary, declares that the
price is too unreasonably low in
proportion to almost everything else
we have to buy" and the farmers
bind themselves not to sell their
wheat, or to raise more wheat, until
a higher price is forthcoming. =r'
The club will send delegates to the
Nonpartisan conventions in Fargo
and st. Paul, called to protest the
prices. BE- ef

Our ENEMY" WILL Be
-FOUR MINUTE" TOPIC
Fargo Theater Audiences 70 Hear
Speakers Discuss Real Character
of Prussian Despotism.

The league of -Four Minute Men"
will continue their discussions in the
Fargo theaters this week, speaking
on the subject, of, Our Enemy. The
addresses will consider in detail the
character of the government of Ger
many and how its direction by a
Prussian despotism makes possible
"a vast military establishment, con-
trolled by an irresponsible govern
ment which has secretly planned to
dominate the world"
The Four Minute Men met in ad-
vance the arguments presented by
the Peoples Council and informed
the citizens as to the real character
of the organization. The keen resent
ment of the councils attempt to
meet here is due somewhat to the
effective work of this league, con-
sisting of twelve experienced young
men, speaking for four minutes in
the theaters nightly. r

q
 There is but one automobile factory in the Czar's donainions and that is capable of turning out not more than 200 cars a year. AS a large result of this situation the 1900 miles of East ern front have had but 5000 motor ambulances, as compared with 75.000 upon the 400 mics of French and Bel gian front. And the horse drawn ann of them are the typical Russian springless carts, which go bouncing over the unspeakable roads of the Empire - many of them corduroy with infinite pain to their wounded burthens, whose shrieks and cries are heard for long distance roundabout. But even these transports are very scarce. Men pitifully wounded have had to walk five or six miles to reach them, for a cross country haul of a few more awful miles to the hospital trains. And when these trains gave up their burdens at Petrograd or Mos COW the greater part of the wounded had been in their original dressings for five or six days. And the stench from the supperation of those wounds were almost intolerable."
 It is not a pretty story that Col. Grow tells. But it is one that ought to go straight to the hearts of every American that reads it.
 Tt is not base hospitals that Rus sia needs and needs so greatly at thu time" he says, it is transporta ton for
 
 dozens, but by the hundred and by the thousands. Hospital trains are need ed too-modern, sanitary affairs, not the box-cars filled with filthy straw that many times have had to serve for the carrying of wounded men in Rus sia. She does need hospitals, of course. But these should now be specialists hospitals. For instance. there is great cal-mechanical plants which can fit and turn out braces and artificial limbs of every sort. Today if a wounded Russian soldier loses a leg he is turned out of the hospital when the wound is healed, given three rubles and sent to beg upon the city streets. Nothing is being done to- ward making him a useful citizen of the nation once again.
 The question is not, in it's final analysis, one of humanity alone. Great as is that appeal, the question of diplomacy is even greater. If America can aid in the comfort of the Russian in the fighting field, if she-in an un- that she is going to nurse him if he falls wounded, she is going to keep him fighting. He is the finest of sol diers, loyal. tremendous fighter But after all, he is on-y human. And hu- man comfort and human sympathy, human care, are the things that make the greatest appeal to hie imagination and his understanding"
 
 Here then is Russias cal for help. The answer to it rests in America - not along in the official America which concerns itself with diplomacy - but quite as much in individual America; :; in the hearts and minds of American men and women. The answer as to whether the Red Cross shall help poor Russia rests with you and it rests with me. It is a question for indivfd- Ual consciences - for yours for mine. What is your answer to 1t?

KEEP THE SCHOOLS OPEN.

While the war is drawing heavily on all the resources of this country it's industries, it's shipping, it's f. nances and it's men, and among the last named many :n the colleges, it must be appreciated that during the disposition to interfere with the edu- cationaI system of the country. It Is of the utmost importance that the schools and the colleges should go on as they have in the past. It is neces- sary for the coming generations and it is vital to the country. Young peo- pie, including many school children can be of much assistance in hand ling some of the problems which will arise, but their services must not be sought at the expense of education. Whatever they can do during their spare time can be taken advantage of but they should not be taken away from their studies. Should such a thing be permitted the country would pay and pay severely for 1t in the end
 In connection with this matter of education and the war Dr. P. P. CIax- ton, United States commissioner of education, sounds a timely warming when he declares: Schools and other agencies of education must be main IdIn0u dL WUdtGNST I1cCOSSdTN cost ana against all hurtful interference with their regular work except as may be necessary for national defense, which is of course our immediate task and must be kept constantly in mind and have right of way everywhere and at all times. From the beginning of our participation in the war should avoid the mistakes which some other countries have made to their hurt and which they are now trying to correct. When the war is over. whether with in a few months or after many years, there will be such demands upon this country for men and women of seien- tfic knowledge, technical skill hnd general culture as have never before come to any country. The world must be rebuilt" And it must be appre ciated in this connection that it is the young people of today who must be depended upon to meet their share of the responsibility. But if the schools and colleges relax in their efforts how are they going to be able to re- spond as they should? The schools may feel the effects of the war but they must not be neglected.
