LIBRARY DRIVE
FOR THIS WEEK
COUNTRY AND CITY PEOPLE
ALL ASKED TO HELP IN GET
TING BOOKS FOR BOYS

This week, September 24th-3Oth is
known as Library War Fund Week
the country over. In all cities of
over 5000 population an organized
campaign is being conducted to gath
er the million dollars necessary to
build and equip library buildings in
the thirty-two cantonments and
training camps. While Williston and
Williams County are not conducting
an organized campaign there are
without doubt fathers and mothers
of boys who will be in the training
camps, and friends as we'll, who will
be glad to give dollar, if not more,
to this splendid national movement
from which they will get so much
benefit. Not only will the main camps
get this healthy form Of recreation
but the smaller camps, through the
Y. M. c. A. and knights of Columbus
and similar organizations, will be
given books and magazines in regu-
lar, systematic, well-organized way.
The American Library Association is
behind the plan and is we'll fitted to
see that it is carried out in business
way. It is being endorsed by the
Governors Of the various states, and
backed up by the War Department.
If your personal interest of your
patriotic feeling leads you to help,
please make your contributions to
Miss Bessie r. Baldwin, at the James
Memorial Library, if resident of
Williston, or to Miss Bertha R. Palm
er, County Superintendent of Schools
Office, if in the county outside Of Will
liston.
Unless there is some objection on
the part of the old-time membership
of the Choral Union the thirteen dol
lars now lying idle in the treasury
will be turned over this week to the
Library War Fund. There has been
a consultation Of the old officers and
it was decided to take this method of
leaving it to the membership at large.

COMMITS SUICIDE
TO EVADE SERVICE
MckENZIE COUNTY FARMER BE-
COMES INSANE FROM WAR
SCARE AND TAKES LIFE

Paul J. Balliette committed sui-
eide at his home three miles SOUTH
west of Watford about noon Friday
by shooting himself in the right tenn
pie with a .32 caliber revolver. The
body was found by Mrs. Balliette who
had returned from a journey to Wat
ford within few minutes after her
husband had taken his life.
Mr.. Balliette had been worrying
for some time over the war and since
the demonstration given at Watford
for the men who entrained for Camp
Dodge Wednesday he has been worse.
1t was not suspected, however, that
he contemplated suicide. Coroner
Hinman was called from Alexander.
An investigation disclosed that de-
ceased's mind was unbalanced and no
inquest was necessary.
Mr.. Balliette left a note addressed
to his wife, sticking in sod wall near
his body. The opening statement in
the note was: II am doing what I
think BEST" The note then referred
to something he had told his wife
relative to the government seizing
his property and forcing him to fight
in the trenches. Then followed in
structions as to the disposal of his
property and the settlement of all
his debts.

IS FOR DISTRICT
JUDGE FISK OF WILLIAMS co.
ENDS CASE OF LONG
STANDING

A decision in the famous Kenmare
school case was rendered the first of
the week by Judge Fisk of Williams
county in favor of the defendants.
The case, now of three years stand
ing, involved the payment Of $4,000
to the First National Bank Of Ken
mare, by the county officials as bal
ance on $4,000 judgment obtained
three years ago as reimbursement
for warrants cashed prior to that
time.
After the bank had obtained this
judgment and some $1,000 has al
ready been paid under it, suit was
started by P. NJ. Cole and others on
the grounds that the judgment was
obtained illegally, and that there had
been fraud on the part of the school
board in permitting the Judgment to
be taken. Since the suit was insti-
tuted some $4,000 had collected in
the hands of the county treasurer
under special tax levied to pay off
the judgment, but under a restrain
ing order granted by Judge Leighton
two years ago, this sum was tied up
pending the final decision. Judge
Fisk, in his decision rules in favor
Of the bank and district and released
the money.
