To the Alma Civic Improvement
League:
The year of 1920 has brought-mcst
surprising and satisfying results in
the growth of the Alma free reading
room and library. From an attend
ance of 1862 in 1918 and 10000 in
1919 il has reached the height of 49,
375 during 1920 The library furni-
ture purchased by the League has
been installed and has proved very
satisfactory. In May the city set
aside 81 800 for library purposes
which became available in November.
Since then the expenses Of the IL
brary have been $292.3O, leaving
81 ,207.70 to complete the year, which
we believe will leave us about $500
for books.
Early in the year . committee was
appointed to carry on a campaign 70
obtain money with which to buy
books. As Q result Of the efforts Of
this committee we have t2I6.aS as .
book Fund; e4s.9e Of thu amount are

scented TO DR.. Brainerd beautifully
engraved gold watch as token of
the regard of those present. DR..
Brainerd replied in few well-chosen
words expressing his appreciation
for the gift and the spirit which
prompted it.
Dr. Brainerd began his active
medical practice forty years ago and
came TO Alma from Fenton in 1866.
He bought the present site of the
Brainerd hospital rs years ago and
had to wait for a potato crop 70 be
taken off the ground before he could
start the building, three fourths Of
the work on which he did with his
own hands. The hospital has been
Of progressive growth, each year
giving greater service TO the COM
munity and securing better returns.
A large number of patients have
been treated there. II has a daily
average attendance Of eight patients
at the present time. Mrs. Brainerd
has been his most able assistant,
through all these years for many of
which she did two thirds of all the
inside work. At present DR.. Brain
erd has a very efficient staff Of
helpers. The Brainerd hospital and
the service which it has rendered TO
the people of Alma and vicinity re-
presents the life work Of DIR. Brain
erd and it seems fitting and appro-
pirate that the name, Brainerd Hos
pital, be ever continued as memoir
ial to the service which he has rem
dered To this community.

CANADA WILL : TAKE CENSUS
 DURING JUNE

OTTAWA, May 30 (by Associated Press) s).-Thirteen thousand enumera. tors will be employed to take the na. tional census which will begin June l. With the aid of the Royal Cana. dian mounted police in remote dis tricts, they will be expected to get the name of every man, woman and child in Canada's 3,729,665 square miles. This is an area larger than the United States including Alaska and Is one-sixth of the land surface of the globe.
 Gathering the data will require from four to six weeks while the ex. act population will be known in five or six months. It Is estimated at 9,000,000. The cost of the work will be $1,750,O00.
 Much information aside from popu- lation figures will be gathered. Ques- tions will concern not only such in. dividual matters as age, sex, race. occupation and earning capacity but details of agriculture, finance and in- dustry.
 The population of the dominion at the census of 1871 was 3,6S9,257 and at the 1911 census, 7,206,645.

Emerges From Long Dry Period

VICTORIA, B. C., May 30 (by Asso ciated Press).-With the coming into force of the British Columbia liquo1 act, the province emerges from a three and a half year "dry" period The present act IS the result of the referendum taken on October 20 last throughout the province, when the people emphatically voted for the sale of liquor in sealed packages by the government. The majority in favor of repeating the prohibition act was about 10000.
 The prohibition act, which closed the bars and all public drinking places throughout the province, came into force on the first day of October 1917, during the war, when the peo pie, by a small majority, voted to prohibit the sale of liquor except by government dispensaries. In or der to purchase liquor under the prohibition act, it was necessary to first obtain prescription from a medical doctor for which fee of s2 was charged. The maximum quantity purchasable from a government dis. pensary was two gallons of liquor So great was the rush on the dis. pensaries and so many prescriptions were being issued, that the govern. ment at the session of the legislature In 1920 amended the prohibition act prohibiting the sale by government dispensaries of more than eight ounces on a doctors prescription.
 In 1919 move was made to have the prohibition act repealed and this effort continued until the govern. ment agreed to submit the question of future liquor legislation to the peo. pie. A moderation league was or. ganized to work for the repeal of the act, the object of the organization be. ing to obtain the sale of liquor under the government control. It was as. serted that bootlegging was rampant throughout the province and that a measure which would permit of the sale of liquor under proper control, would be preferable to the prohibition act. The prohibitionists fought for the retention of the prohibition act, bu the moderationists won.
 
 At the last session of the legisla. ture, which closed but a few weeks ago, the new liquor act was passed, following weeks of discussion. It will be administered by board of three appointed by the government
 Under the British Columbia liouor act, government stores are established throughout the province for the sale of liquor. These stores are admins.

Practically the same condition prevailed. Ontario went dry in war times but after demobilization. adopted an importation law under which 1t was legal to import liquor by the case for home consumption. The people asked for a test of wet and dry sentiment and on the vote the prov ince won't emphaticaify @dry."
