negligible.
On March i, 1890, there were o.
TIA volumes on the shelves OF the
library During the year there were
srded by gift and purchase CABS
volumes and S5z volumes from the
Hlbiber purchase, making a total OF
1850 volumes Three thousand i've
hundred and ninety-two ~ommes

therefore, was 575S volumes. and
the total in the library on February
IS. 1921, was 1os.532 volumea Late
in the year about 100 Jewish books
were bought and placed on the
shelves These have proved to be
very popular.
During the year the cataloging OF
the Hilbiber collection was finisned.
Since May, 1919, when the collection
was purchased. 1855 volumes have
been accustomed Assigning the

charged for the same or similar
books in dealers catalogs, the total
value of books added is s5461. In
addition. there were added pamph-
lets and various printed matter. in
cluding Wilmington almanacs. which
were not accessioned, but which were
valued at ss2114. OF the more than
1000 volumes which IL was not
deemed desirable to place on our
shelves. books to the value OF

more than 1000 volumes. The cost
OF the collection was $4,000.
Although the income of the H.
brary has increased, it is impossible
to establish new branches in sec

foreign born citizens, were discussed
at a citizenship conference held in con-
nection with the meeting of the sup
e~rintendents of the FIVE counties Of
LaMoure, Dickey, Sargent, Mcintosh

pointed to make a collection of handi-

only definite fact emerging is that the

It is supposed that this long notice

Measure Gives Government Aid
in Supplying Credit for
Expectations.
BILL SENT 10 HOUSE
War Finance Corporation Authorized
to Make Loans to Agriculturalists'
Associations, Banks and
Trust Companies.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. farmers re-
lief measure, the administration plan
for government aid in supplying
credit for expectation of agricultural
products was passed by the Senate
and sent to the House. The bill was
a substitute for the original Norris
bill and provides for the War
Finance corporation to furnish the
export credits.
The Norris bill, which proposed a
new government credit organization,
was laid aside formally and the sub
stitute in charge of Senator McNary,
Republican, Oregon, for the agricul-
tural committee was passed without
a roll call. The substitute plan was
drafted by Secretary Hoover Of the
Department Of Commerce and Direc-
tor Meyer of the War Finance cor
poration.
Bill Adopted Intact.
1t was adopted virtually intact, the
bill authorizing the War Finance cor
poration to make loans to agricul-
turalists' associations, banks and
trust companies. The bill makes no
change in the corporations cash cap
ital of $500, 000,0 900 but reduces from
three to two billion dollars the au-
thorized maximum of bonds it may
issue. This, according to Director
Meyer will be more than sufficient.
Through loans to banks on agricul-
tural collateral, it is expected that
the bills influence will be mostly felt
by expansion of credit available to
farmers.
In disposing of final amendments
the Senate rejected riders of West
ern senator's to extend privileges Of
the federal farm loan system to en-
trymen on government reclamation
projects. Assurances for future ac-
ton in a separate bill, however, were
given.
