CHARGES HAD
RECONCILIATION
BURTNESS ADMITS UNDER OATH
HIS STATEMENTS WERE
BASED ON RUMOR

Statements made by the L. ". A.
representative, O. B. Burtness, in
which he charged that books on free
love, anarchism, bolshevism and So
cialism were being circulated by the
state, were declared to be false by the
library committee in it's report to the
legislature Wednesday.
The following is the result of the
findings of this committee:
The books criticised by Nh. Burt
ness did not contain any of the theor-
les of members and characters assign
ed to books circulated among the far
mers, communities and school librar-
les.
Books other than those identified as
belonging to this circulating series re-
main on the shelves for circulation to
adults only upon specific request for
certain designated books or subjects.
None of the books criticized by Mr..
Burtness have "yet actually been sent
out throughout the state"
Prior to the time the present board
of administration took charge of the
library there were four books by Ell
len Key, which Mr.. Burtness so
strongly condemned, on it's shelves.
Mr.. Burtness stated under oath that
he acted on rumor, on the basis of
which he refused to furnish the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Burtness denied the accuracy
of his speech apparently reproduced
verbatim in the Bismarck Tribune,
which quoted him as saying the books
under fire were being sent to the
schools Of the state. r
The investigating committee did
not have time to read or secure a
critical report upon the volumes crit
icized and damned by Mr.. Burtness.

STOCK HEALTH
ABOUT AVERAGE

The condition of livestock in North
Dakota generally during the past year
with reference to diseases has been
about as usual. However, reports in

years, according to the state commit
tee of animal diseases.
During the year 14S horses have
been destroyed for CHAMBERS.
One thousand and ninety have been
tested for dourine, 10 being destroyed
for this disease.
Several outbreaks of mango have
been contended with.
Fourteen thousand five hundred and
thirty-one cattle have been %tuberculin
tested, Sill being purebreds and $500
grades; 81 purebred cattle and 1876
grades reacted, being about 3h per
cent.
Reports Of contagious abortion do
not show any Increase over the pre-
vious year. -
Two bands of sheep were found af-
fected with scabies and were properly
dipped.
Ten outbreaks of hog cholera were
reported during the year.
Owing to the dry weather the south
western part of the state is very short
on hay and range, and for this reason
much of the stock will have to be
moved to some other section of the
country. .
