STATE ALLOTMENT
OF SERVICE MEMS
BOOKS HAS ARRIVED
Libraries Throughout Mime.
sofa Will Get Volumes
From Association

Minneaaolis, Feb. 24-After many
months service! near the front, in hos
potals and in every area occupied by
American soldiers, sailors and ma
rines, more than $500 books which
were provided by people of the coun-
try for their men at war are at the
state capitol and will be distributed
to libraries thruout the state, accord
ing to an announcement by Miss
Clara Baldwin, director OF the state
library commission.
Service Men Get Benefit.
Every effort, Miss Baldwin said,
will be made to put these BOOKS to the
use for which they were originally in
tended. Many of them will be placed
in sanatOriums thruOut the state in
which there are returned service men,
Others will be distributed to libraries
pratronized by service men. They
will be available, she said, to all per-
sons alike who use the libraries in
which they are placed.
Among the volumes are many his
tories and technical books, as an ef-
fort was made to supply this type of
book to the men in service. Some OF
them. were gifts of various persons
and Institutions and others were do
nations of the American Library as
sociation. More than 100000 of
these books were recently returned
to the United States and we're distrib-
uted among the states in proportion
to the number Of men in service from
each state.
More Books Required.
Use of these books by service men,
according to members Of the associ-
alton, has greatly increased the num-
Der of books read. To meet this de-
mand, the association therefore had
planned a campaign to raise $4,000
600 to extend the public library ia
cilities Of the country. In the work
of collecting funds, Clarence B. Les
ter Of the Wisconsin Free Library
commission at Madison, Wis.,, had
been made regional director for Min

Election figures, as given III nc

+;on were found to be correct Mon
dav evening, when the canvass1ng
committee at the special meeting OF
tho citv council, consisting OF Alder-
men Garlock, Walker and Mciaggert
want over the list and checked the
tally sheets. H.. ,o,a
term on the park board years.
The question of divertlng tne new
navement at the intersection OF pc
midi avenue, at Tenth street, wnlcn
will cut off the corner OF two lots
owned bv D. S. Mitchell on the south
cast corner of that intersection, mas
heen amicably settled. The PROPOSE
t;on is to avoid the sharp turn at TINS
corner. when the pavement is laid on
Rem;dii and turned on Tenth to meet
Doud avenue on Tenth. 1t would be
a dangerous turn for autoists and the
c;tv took the matter up with Mr..
Mitchell.
Everybody Agreeable.
The city made an offer to ME-.
Mitchell to purchase the two lots
south, adjoining his two corner lots,
which will be affected, and turn them
over to him, allowing him to retain
the shortened corner lot, on which ne
has small cottage, and will also
affect the frontage of the second lot.
This will compensate Mr.. Mitchell for
the damage to his two corner lots
and both sides are satisfied with the
agreement.
The city attorney was authorized to
purchase the added lots and they will
be turned over to Mr.. Mitchell.
When the sloping turn is made In
the pavement at that point, it will
create small triangle about 5Ox5O,
cut off from the Mitchell corner, and
this will be parked as a little beauty
spot.
At the next meeting of the coun-
Gil, the newly elected aldermen will
take their seats.
Palmer Will Holdover.
At the close of the city council,
when the administration was ad-
jour1fing, it was recalled that the tie
vote in the second ward had not been
decided, and the council resumed its
seats The ordinance prescribes that
in case of a tie vote the lots shall be
drawn.
A hat was secured and into this 16
paper slips were deposited two OF
them bearing the names Of Mohler
and Palmer The slips were held up
in the air at arms length and the
drawing commenced. The first name
to come out was Palmer.
