LIBRARY NOTES

The following telegram from the
Director of the Library War Service
shows the imperative need Of more
gift books for the men overseas:
by July first the American Lii
brary Association must ship addition
al three quarters millions books over
seas Of which five hundred thousand
must come by gift. AS Army de-
pends on US now our reputation will
stand or fall in the next three months.
Present Stacking in flow Of gift books
presents genuine crisis. Will you
undertake at once to raise five thou
sand books in North Dakota? Fresh
fiction chief need"
Three million and more of gift
books have already been given by
the country as whole and nearly q
million more have been purchased by
the Library Association. The gift
books are largely fiction. For the
more serious reading the purchased
books are necessary to meet the
needs as they develop, for much Sc
rious reading and study has been
done.
If Williston is to meet her share
of the five thousand books expected
from North Dakota she must have at
least three hundred books brought to
the library in the next few weeks.
The "present Stacking" has been due
in part to the impression that no more
books were needed. Now that we
know the need we will make every
effort to meet it.

At this stage small boy appeared
on the scene and askt for Soc worth
of sugar. (Remember this was long
ago when you could get some sugar
for 50c). Mr.. Groven, ablivious to
the demand, was lingering the man
on 30. The sugar was under the
checker board and Mr.. Groven, turn
ing from his first thought, which,
true to the old adage was the best
one, was cycling the man on 81 when
the boy piped in again with his de-
mand for sugar. This was too much
for even Groven's monumental pa
tience and, hastily moving the man
from 81 to 26, he turned an exasper-

youngster an dexclaimed, "For Heav-
ems sake, boy, is this the only place
in town where you can get sugar!"

Autos Collide On
West Broadway Sat.

Last Saturday noon two autos COL
lided on West Broadway opposite the
Stice Garage. One was owned by
the Central Delivery and the other
by R. G.. Tute.
The auto being driven by Mr.. Tute
caused the collision as he was unable
to get out Of the rut in the road and
was forced to hit the delivery truck.
One of the occupants of the truck
was thrown to the ground but was
uninjured. Both cars were damaged
considerable. The Central delivery
have their loss covered by insurance.

Come in strong on this Victory
Loan. The most important thing
before the country in . business way
just now is to clean up the war stuff
and get solidly readjusted on nor
NAL peace basis. This loan is the
biggest item in that program. # you
do not take it the banks will with q
further great dost Of credit imitation
and an unfavorable reaction on prices
just when it is tremendously impor-
tant to get down to q firm founda-
tion. Every subscription to the
Fourth Liberty Loan should be dup
Heated for this loan; q little better
than that, in fact, for too much Of
the Fourth Loan was carried by the
banks.
In this whole matter Of adjustment
to peace we are still good deal in
the wartime habit Of looking to the
Government; but broadly speaking
Government cannot do much. It Il
up to us-all Of us. Finally, only
the people can do it. Government can
do it. Government can print the
bonds and offer them for subscrip-

scription that is going to determine
whether the loan is absorbed by the
public and paid for out Of income OF
whether il simply initiates banks
credits all out Of shape. And It ID
upon you individually that the in
conveniences of imitation will fall, not
upon Government.

Wild Editors | Have Known

if you don't watch out, and there's the
one who warns you solemnly against
! Greenwich Village.
And there is the one who bought this
piece. What shall we say of him?
These are a few. How hard we try
to understand them; how humbly do we
take their measures and tailor the story
to fit. Ready-mades for editors? Never.
They may buy their hats from bargain
stand, but their stories are made to
order And if he doesn't like the mate
rial, or the way it's put together, or
if he had one like it last year, there's
no use; he won't even give it house room
over night.
What folly of craftsmanship it would be
to offer the frock- coated managing editor
of the gravest daily in New York an airy
trife on lingerie and lipsticks, or what
Bessie Broadway will wear at the beach!
With what disgust would he view such
a lapse of judgment, and with what a
disdainful thumb would the very office
boy pen your name and send it speeding
back. But send him an article on move
ment, campaign, a scientific discovery,
and the money is yours. This is by way
of a simple example to show how care
fully the author must consider the edi-
tors in his field, how they toll not,
neither do they spin, yet have the only
key that fits into the door of success
and future and career
And authors do consider carefully. An
anthology of editors is the unwritten
masterpiece of most of them.
Who but an editor, for example, could
have participated in the following COM

OF the pantomime is lost. and if words
fail, too, the plot is difficult to follow.
1t was so with the lady who stood in the
middle of the street and sang violently
to decidedly disinterested gentleman on
the sidewalk
1t was his unbroken silence that made
it hard to follow. Even when an unex-
pected policeman came up and was sung
to the thing became no palmer. 1t was
evident from the policeman's manner that
he wished for her to go and sing amid
other surroundings, but she did not care
for his suggestions. Then the policeman
went away and she tired of the gentle
mans inattention presently. SO she went
away singing and he went away in silence,
and no one knows yet what the matter was
the policeman least of all.
Another unsolved mystery is how he man
aged or happened, or whatever it was. to
disgrace her. 1t was certain that he had.
She said so time and again as they stood in
front of her steps. She felt rather deeply
about 1t, so it appeared. Just what his
attitude was will always be uncertain, for
he took it more quietly than She

G PEDLER of pincushions could
{ write his volume about the
housewives Of the country, and
his work would stand as au-
thentlc. A scribbler who escorts his
pieces from office to office comes to
know his editors in the same intimate
fashion. If housewife likes blue, the
pedler pulls out fat blue thing and
bangles it before her eyes until she
buys. In the same wise, the writer
whether real or imitation, sizes up the
great gent that presides over the dummy
sheet and the wastebasket and -
strives to please.
The housewife may be strong minded,
q perfect resistant to these wiles and
traps, and, we gods. so may be the edi-
tor, but the psychology of salesman
ship is practically the same, for selling
is selling the world over, whether it's
poems or pie pans in your sample case.
The only difference between the sales
man proper and the writer is that the
writer makes his own product, poor
wretch, and is on strictly commission
basis. Otherwise the whole dreary bust
ness is the same.
And so, as we stick our noses day
after day into that consecrated, hal
lowed ground that is the editorial
chamber, we learn a thing or two or
three about editors. There is that one
who takes you out to lunch, bless him.
and the editor who wears suspenders.

there is he who remarks that YOU'RE foo
lazy to be famous. There is the editor

even mas vague misgiving that things
happen in our block that could happcn in
other BLOCKS, but then one looks upon the
1850 dog parade or something and is
straghtway reassured
The parade really starts the day. All
that comes or goes before is sporadic and
preliminary. Such are the white vegetable
ivory hand mirrors with douehnut sborod
hahdies that appear on the window stills at
ll:lo. So, too, the lathery areas that
fit beyond the mirrors lose their lather
and become jowls.
Other preparations less to windowward
must go on about the same time, to Judge
from the carefully laid pigments on exhibit
ton at the dog parade. Shortly after this
is over the uniforms begin to appear in
large numbers and continue in large num-
bers from then on until the block calls

hours that must be endured before dark.
But after dark! Then it is that our
block comes into its own. From a quite
ordinary appearing section of street, walled
with less ordinary buildings and peopled by
not at all ordinary persons, it changes at
nightfall to an entcng back eddy in the
glittering, dazzling stream called Broadway.
To that river of dancing, 1aring light it
adds few rippes of its own.
Under the spell of darkness anything be-
comes not only possible but matter of
course. Then come the things that could
never happen in any block but ours
1t is raining and the pavement is crisis
crossed with shimmering streaks from this
and that group of lights. Unmindful of the
downpour, two men stand on the curb.
Water glistens on their derby hats and ON
the fur collars of their overcoats Thew nm

His contributors go out bursting with
enthusiasm, and the story comes through,
their best efforts, usually. He doesn't
always buy-he's good editor-but we
say his system is a neat one. And his
habit of giving free hand, whether he
precisely likes the sound of the story
himself or not, of encouraging, rather
than discouraging, the writer, brings into
his Office some of the freshest, most con-
fident stuff that is written for newspaper
publication.
Women editors suit us very we'll.
Most of them welcome the new writer,
remember their friends and look out for
value rather than names all of them
pleasant qualities to the hachrabout
town who survives by what he sells.
There is nothing of cattishness about
the woman editor, no matter what the
comic spirits of the country may say.
A woman editor win buy from her dear

help circulation. Women editors run
young bureaus in their Offices, where
youngsters of the female persuasion who
are stung with the writing bug NAV

hands deeper into the stuff than men do,
work with it themselves, give it shape
and form and content. Men editors in
their large way ask for results and get
them; women evolve their own results
as they achieve bread from flour and
yeast from water.
An editor, when he knows people,
seems to carry with him a special license
to insult them. He does it in the man
ner classical, however, and calls it frank
ness or advice or some such euphemsm.
Nobody minds and he probably enjoys
the process.
"My new fiction writer is a fat, gig
Cling female, but she hath the touch of
an angel" one said to feminine staff
member recently. "Now, you are lovely
young lady, with an especially propitious
spring bonnet, but why don't you take
some of the weight out of your pen
hand?"
Everybody laughed merrily, and don't
imagine for a moment that the lovely
young lady minded because he told her
she had a heavy touch Not at ALL Her
attitude was that he could edit out what
he didn't like from her stories. She had
permanent job, you see, and needed
to truckle to no one
A bored editor is the hardest nut to
crack, that languid, blase gentleman
whom nothing pleases-until it has the
sanction Of type. After it is printed in
his magazine it is the best story that
was ever written, but when you first
show it to him, he turns over the pages
idly and raises his eyebrows another
fraction. His aim is to reduce you to
the humility of a worm, and that end he
accomplishes by we'll known Office tricks,
such as the above mentioned Bored
good magazines. Also, their ennui pro-
vides the stuff for the great class war
that RACES between the publishing pro-
fession and the Amalgamated Order of
with the open minded.
But if all editors are bored when it
comes to reading your masterpieces, it
may mean that there's something wrong
with the product. In that case, there
IS always insurance to be sold.
