STATE NEWS

The present high price of butter
may be in part accounted for by the
fact that farmers shipping cream from
stations west Of the Missouri river
are reported to be getting as high as
$24.33 for each ten gallon can they
bring to their local shipping stations.
At such a price for the cream the
user of butter may expect to keep
paying a good price for some time
to come.
Letters to relatives and friends ad-
wise them that Harold Bowen, a
B~ridgewater boy, who saw much hard
service in France, has been brought
to the United States and now is being
treated for shell shock at a military
hospital in a camp in New Jersey.
For ten days he was bereft of his
MIND but reason now has been fully
restored. He also received two

A big bull moose stands guard at
the west door of the state capitol at
Pierre. With its antlered spread of
six feet, and nine feet in height, il
makes IN imposing appearance to all
who enter the west entrance. This
big animal was killed by B. A. Cum
Minis, Of Pierre, while on a hunting
trip in Canada, and the mounting was
done in Winnipeg. The specimen was
so large that it required considerable
skill in working him through the state
house to his present location, without
damaging electric fixtures. One of
the features of the killing of this an
imal is that when the carcass was
dressed an encysted bullet was found
in the heart of the big bull. Just how
he could carry this is one of the mys.
~teries, as the bullet had evidently
been in his heart for some time be-
fore he was killed.

WHAT SOLDIERS READ

The American Library Association
is asking for gifts of good recent
works of fiction to supply the reading
needs of our me min hospitals and de-
mobilization camps. Every public IL
brary in the United States has been
designated as a receiving station for
such gifts.
The classes of books most in de-
mand by the soldiers are fiction Of
the adventurous-romantic school. Re-
cent requests from hospital and camp
librarians emphasize the call for
books of this sort. Zane Grey is per-
hsps the most popular of all writer's
with the enlisted men. and Of his
books. from Heritage of the Desert"
to 1.-THE U. p. Trair' there is never a
sufficient supply. The "Tarzan" sto-
ries by Edgar Rice Burroughs are
fairly devoured. and Rex Beach, John
Fox, Jr., and B. M. Bower are prime
favorites.
o. Henry's books are in constant
demand, with scant supply. There are
never enough copies Of "Tom Saw
yer" to meet the calls for Mark
Twain's great classic Of boyhood,
though hundreds OF copies have been
bought in addition to those given by
the public. Anna Katherine Green's
detective stories vie with the adven-
turous tales Of George Barr McCut-
cheon. Soldiers like the detective
stories Of Mary Roberts Rinehart, too.

gained by reading the recommends

a member of an administrative board,
of which the chief is a member, and
in his absence.

tiary where they can have the appli-
can't before hem.
