outside of its usual channels. few
members Of the staff served an nurses.
eight or ten others put their knowledge
OF library methods to good use by aid
ing with the card record work at the
various public health service relief sta
tons. One Of the library automobiles
was turned over to the health authori-
ties for several days for use in taking
nurses TO the home of patients
another very satisfactory plan of
cooperation has been carried on. with
the Associated Charities. Its officers in
dicate to the library certain families to
which friendly visitors are going weekly,
with the number in family, age, sex and
reading tastes. when known To the
family the library sends a box Of books
carefully selected for them and for any
neighbors who may care to come in to
get books. The friendly visitor comes
to the library to receive certain instruc-
tions as to the work to be done and
keeps in touch with the library, often
coming to assist in choosing books for
her group. This plan has proved more
satisfactory than other home library
methods tried. This work has suffered
somewhat during the war. but will be
carried on during the coming year with

scRAPPlNG OVER THE sPOILs.

The Supreme Court of North Daketa
was called upon last week to decide
whether certain funds should be placed
into the general fund or not. The state
auditor contended that the money
should be placed in certain fund while
others of the Townley ilk. whose salaries
we're held up for lack of funds, claimed
differently. The amount involved was
thirteen thousand dollars. The month
ly payroll has reached the enormous
sum of sixty thousand dollars at Bis
marck. Is there any wonder that the
equalization board had to increase valu-
ations two weeks ago.
The truth is, it matters not whether
the money belonged to one fund OF
another for it all belonged to the state
anyway, but the ridiculous part of it is
the administration ls short of funds all
the time. During Governor Hanna's
administration the general fund of the
state of North Dakota seldom went be-
low the half million dollar mark. There
never was time when the state officials
salaries were not paid upon presentation
of the voucher by the holder. But Ex-
governor Hanna was financier. He
had large holdings in the state and was
taxed the same as any other individual.
But it is different with Mr.. Townley and
his Office holders. Most OF them do not
own any property and consequently
they have no taxes to pay. They are
here to draw their salaries, and when
the people get their eyes open and fire
them from Office they will do like the
Arab, pick up their carpet bags and look
for new fields to conquer.
