WARM WEATHER Isl
HERE BUT SHOULD
NOT WEAR B. V. DIS

Following mild weather yesterday.
the last day of winter or perhaps the
first day of summer was ushered into
existence here this morning with a
higher temperature, cloudy skies and
somewhat sultry weather.
Today. however. seems like beau
tiful day in June compared with the
unpleasant and unreasonable weather
of the past seven months. With the
comparative warm weather of the last
few days added by the recent rains,
freshly sprouted green grass is reliev'
ing the monotony of the dull brown
of burned grass in evidence since last
year.
People are warned not to take too
much for granted at the present time
and remove their heavy "underthings'
Just now as the temperature might
take a sudden tumble and touch the
zero mark.

All the delegates named at the Anti
Townley convention, April 6, were en-

favor the nomination of William

convention.
There was a slight misunderstood
ing at the opening OF the convention
over how the delegates to the 'Minot
convention May 12-13 should be sci

STATE LIBRARY
is CLOSED, BUT
REASON OBSCURE
Rev. George A. Totten Seeking
Successor to Carl Emil
Stangeland

The state circulating library scene
of the free love" episodes during
the special session Of the legislature
last year, is closed to the general
public and thereby hangs a tale.
A big poster on the doors leading
to the library announces that it is
closed. One reason given for the
library not functioning locally is that
the special session of the legislature
reduced the library's appropriation
and the other reason is because there
is no librarian available or competent
to take charge OF the work.
Rev. George A. Totten. chairman
of the state board of administration.
which is in general charge of the
library's activities, is seeking a
librarian to direct the library. 1t is
rumOred that Totten is seeking a
librarian who will be a fit successor
to Carl Emil Stangeland, whose
forced resignation because Of his So
cialistic notions tempted Totten to
proclaim that he would also resign if
Stangeland left.
Stangeland has gone, but Totten
still remains.
Totten, however. is experiencing
considerable difficulty in securing
man to serve as librarian who has
the same qualifications as Stangeland
II has been suggested that Totten
might insert an advertisement in the
Appeal to Reason, or seek suitable
successor to Stangeland in the social

And it is further pointed out that
any reduction in the library's ap-
preparation made by the special ses-
sion of the legislature does not go

FEDERAL SYSTEM
OF HIGHWAYS IS
URGED BY ARMY
Better Roads is a National Prob
lem, Reports War Depart
ment to Congress
FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS

Washington, D. c. May 6. (SpeciaD
Declaring the problems of highway
construction are national rather than
the concern Of the individual states,
the report of the war department to
the highways committee OF congress,
made public today. summarizes con
clusions reached as result of the
army convoy of seventy-three trucks
which Dlazed a trail from Washing
ton to the Pacific coast, last sum
mer The report recommended the
construction OF federal system of
national highways.
Urging as a commercial asset, the
need for "a comprehensive system OF
national highways the report voices
the opinion that the transportation
arteries of the country should be
built to accommodate the rapid move
ment of heavy vehicles during any
season Of the year.
The recommendations of the de-
partment are as follows:
Recommend atoms
''First-That the necessity for a
system of national
highways including transcontinental
or through routes east and west, and
north and south is s2a&al AMI urgent,
as commercial asset to further
colonize and develop the sparsely set
tied sections of the country, and, fin
ally as a defensive military necessity
Second-that the existing roads
and bridges, especially in the sparse
ly settled sections Of the middle and
far western states, are absolutely in
capable Of meeting the present day
traffic requirements, and until modern
types Of roads and bridges are CON
structed which will permit the rapid
movement of heavy motor cargo We
hicles during any season of the year
and in all conditions of weather
economical transcontinental highway
traffic will continue to be but vain
hope.
National Problems
"Third-That the road problems of
the middle west and far western
states are national rather than local
problems, as these states, while pos
sessing vast area and tremendous
mileage of highways, have only a
sparse population which cannot pos
sibly undertake the needed highway
Improvement work, which moreover
is usually of greater Importance to
the country as whole than to the
individual states.
"Fourth-That the radius of action
and resulting utility value of the mo-
tor vehicle is limited only by the con
dition of the roads, and that the pro-
vision of adequate roads will have Il
far reaching effect on the economic
development of the country at large
Coordinate Machines
"Fifth-That the types of motor
vehicles. especially those used by the
army. should be coordinated with the
road conditions. In other words, un-
til such time as all sections Of tht
country are connected by improved
highways that are passable to heavy
motor vehicle traffic at all seasons
of the year, the size and weight OF
vehicles should be limited to types of
light and medium capacities
Thirty-three of the army trucks
which arrived on the Pacific coast
with the convoy last autumn, will
take part in parade during national
ship by truck-Good roads week

ALL SHOULD AID
IN PUTTING BIG
DRIVE0VER TOP
Interchurch World Campaign
Needs Assistance of Every
:
body, Says Director

Minneapolis, May 6.-With hun
dred million dollars actually raised to
date, and the discovery that hundreds
of people, who are willing to give to
the lnterchurch World Movement,
have not been asked to do so, caused
the announcement today that the
whole machinery of all the demonina-
tiOnal campaigns, as well as the gen.
eral campaign organization. would be
turned loose the week of May 2 for
a strenuous effort to give every person
the opportunity to say yes or no to a
request for the support of the church.
"'Ther0 are thousands Of dollars
waiting to be given for the advance
ment of Christian work in Minnesota
that require only the asking on the
part of some interested person. said
Wesley Mcdowell. state campaign di-
rector, in making the announcement.
"The astonishing response so far re-
ported throughout the state has serv-
ed to stimulate scores of churches
who despaired Of being able to raise
their quotas. ! am receiving letters
daily from towns, which on account
of the necessary haste with which the
campaign was set up have been unable
to complete the work of organization.
and in practically every one Of these
letters a statement give US little
time and we will come through. We
are going to raise this money, if it
takes a month";
''This makes it probable that the
final figures in the campaign will not
be available for several weeks, and
maybe months. but the church is
aroused and the people are stirred to
an interest in the Interchurch World
Movement and the success of the 1886
million dollar campaign is unquestion-
ably assured by this awakening enthu-
siasm''

ASK CONGRESS
500 MILLION FOR
FREIGHT CARS

Washington. May 6.-An additional
s500,000,O00 during this year to finance
the construction of freight cars was
asked Of congress today by the rail-
road executive.
Washington, May 6.-E. N. Brown,
chairman of the board of the St. Louis
and San Francisco railroad, speaking
for the executives said this sum was
necessary to build 100000 cars and
1000 locomotives Immediately needed
by the roads to relieve the present
shortage. The companies themselves,
he testified, could not borrow this
amount on their own credit even
should the interstate commerce com
mission allow the general freight rate
increase requested this week.

ROUT BOLSHEVIkI

Berne, Wednesday. May 5.--Reports
that two Russian Bolsheviki armies
have been routed and virtually de-
strOyed in the course of Polish
Ukrainian offensive against. kiev
seemed to be confirmed by dispatches
received here. Reports which are
taken with some reserve, indicate that
soviet forces have been forced back
to the outskirts of the city.
Bolsheviki troops were thrown into
a panic by the rapid advance of the
Polish and Ukrainian armies and re-
treated precipitately from some
parts Of the front, leaving large guam
titles of arms and ammunition on the
field, it is said. Ukrainian peasants
in territory still held by the Bolshe-
wiki are declared to be in rebellion.

Statement Shows

In comparison with the promises
and claims of the leaders of the Non
partisan league that if the farmers
would place the league candidates in
to state officers. all taxes would be
materially lowered, it is interesting
to investigate a statement pre-
pared in the state tax COM
missioner's office covering the
state taxes from 1915 to 1919
and note how these promises have
oeen fulfilled.
In spite of the fact that the special
session of the legislature reduced the
general fund levy % percent, or ap-
proXimately $S00G00, the amount
needed for the general fund under
the league controlled state admins
tration increased 6499 percent over
the amount needed in 1918. On the
other hand, the general fund for 1918
showed decrease of 1.95 percent
over that Of 1917, the statement
shows.
The amounts raised for the general
fund from 1915 to 1919 and the amount
of increase over each previous year

THE STATE SHOULD
ACT

The Municipal League of Georgia
has been advertising in the daily pa
pers of the state for several months,
and have recently published these
strong advertisements IN pamphlet
form. Facts and figures and telling
argument are used with fine effect.
The pamphlet graphically says;
"With electrical power at their doors
sufficient to light every home and fur
nish power to cook the food, draw
the water, supply the ice, make,
mend, wash, and iron the clothes,
run every dairy, cotton gin, mill, fac
tory and forge in Georgia, thousands
of homes are in darkness, women are
working in hopeless drudgery, and
farms, FORCES ana factories are
without power"

should act"
