The Limit in Parsimony.

The limit of parsimony seems to be
reached in the salaries paid to the
members of the staff of the free Pub
lie Library. Here such underpayment
exists as one would think would shock
the conscience. The minimum educa-
tional requirement is a high school
education and a years training in IL
brary work, yet the salaries of more
than half the members of the profess
sional staff are less than $500. and
five receive but $40 a year. sixteen
receive $500 a year and ten receive
$720 year.
With such salaries widely prevail
ing, is it any wonder that on the very
day The Star editorially called atten-
ton to the poor compensation re-
ceived in these and other positions.

report of the children's bureau, De-

than 900 children in Washington be-

years had quit school to go to work.

morous than that of the general gov

600 BABIES EXAMINED

That the work done by the men,

of exceptionally fine babies were
among that number.
Miss Stoltenberg, the Bemidji
school nurse, and Miss Westhoff, the
county nurse, and three Bemidji doc
babies were weighed, measured and
given medical examinations.
= Mrs. D.. Y. Wilson, Mrs. Robert

So far, 900 babies have been ex-
amined in; this city and there are
still a number who have not been
able to bring their babies on account
of the little ones being i'll. These
mothers are requested to obtain
cards to fill out and send in to the

anxious to have all mothers comply

STRANGERS ACTIONS
STILL REMAIN MYSTERY
PURcHAS SES

A thorough search of the vicinity
of Turtle Lake yesterday AFTERNOON
by detachment of the Bemidji Home
Guard failed to disclose the where
abouts of John Kane, the 75-year-
old man, who disappeared from that
locality, and it is the belief that he
has con ntinued his travels.
Kane was an Inherent and had
been in Turtle Lake for about a
week. From whence he came no one
seems to know. He was fed by the
people in that vicinity and spent
considerable time around the saw
mill. His disappearance caused ap-
prehension on the part of some and
the sheriff was notified. He secured
the assistance of the Home Guard,
it being feared he had wandered aim
lessly away.
