BUILDING midas NEW
MACHINE FOR HOME RULE
(By United Press)

Delhi, India, Feb. 9.-The Dul,e of
Connaught today opened midas first
elected parliament when he formally
inaugurated the new council of state
and the imperial legislative assembly.
While these bodies will not have full
executive power; the viceroy and his
council, being supreme, the new con-
stitution gives the natives of India a
much larger measure of self-govern-
ment than they have hitherto enjoyed.
Considerable curiosity, and some
apprehension is evinced as to the sue
cess or otherwise of the experiment.
The grant of measure of home rule
has naturally encouraged the extrem-
lists to demand full powers, and in
some cases complete severance from
British rule, but the huge number of
races and religions represented is the
best guarantee of the scheme recelv-
ing a fair trial.
Today's ceremony was less brilliant
than yesterdays opening of the cham
Der of princes, as the principal partici-
pants were not in a position to
cover their persons with a kings ran
som in jewelry. But the scene was
wonderfully picturesque and colorful.

ST. PAUL POSTMASTER
TO EXPLAIN SYSTEM
(By United PresS)

St. Paul, Feb. 9.-Otto N. Raths,
postmaster here, is to deliver an ad-
dress in New York Friday on the sue
cess of the system of parcel post de-
livery for retail stores inaugurated
here a year ago and operated with
phenomenal success.
Postmaster Raths was invited to
speak at the annual convention of the
National Dry Goods association in
New York City. The system inaugu-
rated here has attracted nationwide
attention. Instead of maintaining ex-
pensive delivery systems of their own,
the various retail stores combine all
deliveries by turning them over to
Uncle Sam.
Regular parcel post rates are paid
on deliveries made in this manner and
it does three things, according to
Raths:
1t puts the parcel post system on a
profitable basis.
1t saves huge sums to department
stores. and other large retailers an
nually.
It eliminates duplicated effort.
And does away with a large amount
of traffic on already over-crowded
Streets
There are many other points in ia
vor of the system, he believes, and
these are to be outlined to various
cities throughout the country which
have invited him to explain the sys-

EVERY INDEPENDENT

Since World War, Petroleum

in Importance
(By United Press)

New York, Feb. 8. (By Harold

war of all times is being waged for
contrc, of the worlds supply Of Pc
troleum. 1t directly involves three
of the most powerful corporations
the Standard Oil group on one side
and the Anglo-Persian and Royal
Dutch groups on the other. Indirect
ly it involves the government OF the
United States and Great Britain and
possibly France and Holland.
In addition every Independent oil
concern, both foreign and American,
is affected, and many of the smaller
nations Of the world which have oil
fields within their boundaries are be-
cally and economically.
Since the world war, petroleum has
superseded coal as the most import
ant OF world products. An European
statesman has declared that Inter
national diplomacy now revolves
about OIL"
DR.. B. H. Manning, acting head of
the American petroleum institute,
emphasized the vital Importance Of
the oil situation today in an exclusive
interview with the United Press.
Manning. who formerly was director
Of the bureau Of mines, Is now in
charge of the foreign relation depart
ment of the institute. The oil prob

, fight for market but fight for source
of supplies. Manning said. 1T is
certain that the United States will
have to secure considerable por-
ton OF its supply from outside terri
tory. It is Of supreme consequence.
therefore that there be an open door

Neither the United States govern
ment nor the American people are
seeking for monopoly or for privileges
which would endanger the rights Of
other people. Manning said. In a
statement recently made to the Unit

Persian Oil company, which Is con-
trolled by the British government it
was declared that the Standard OIL
group is seeking to dominate the oil

sidered the matter so presented and
the arguments of the parties and be-
ing advised in the premises, it is
ordered, that said order to show
cause be discharged and that the
relief prayed for in the petition upon
which such order to show cause was
based, be denied.
Judge McClenehan states that he

atty in North Dakota.
l.. r. Baird Ut Dickinson yesterday
introduced in the North Dakota SEN
ate bill providing for death as the

i to Z Books

During the ps i, commencing
February 1, 1922, and ending Janu-
airy 81, 1921, the number of book
borrowers from the Bemidji Public
library has more than doubled. 796
new borrowers have been registered
during that period, $50 of that num-
Der being adults, and 437 juveniles.
There are at present 1882 borrowers.
1.-THE above figures are shown in the
annual report made to the Library
Board by Miss Katheryn MacGregor,
librarian,
Books were not in circulation be-
tween February ! and April 10 be-
cause Of the Influenza epidemic,
though the reading rooms were open
for the use of the public. During
the year, 1864 books have been cir
culated from the library, of this num-
Der $685. were adults books of fic-
ton, 665 adult non-fiction books. s.
932 juvenile fiction books and u
juvenile non-fiction books.
In the past year, 172 new books
have been added to the library, Isl
of this number were purchased and
21 were gifts. At present there are
1876 books at the bindery for rebind-
inc. The magazines for 1919 and
1920 have not been bound as yet, and
the librarian recommends that these
be bound in order to add to their
usefulness in the reference depart
ment. Today there are 1892 books
in the library.
Most of the money spent during
the year was expended for reference
books, these being of special value to
the Normal school, High school and
various study clubs, The librarian
hopes to be able to get In closer
touch and be of more benefit to the
High school since part OF the classes
are now being held in the library
Though there is an inadequate supply
of reference material in the library
to date the board hopes to build up
this section as rapidly as funds will
permit. Much material is borrowed
from the Department of Education at
St. Paul.
The English teachers at the High
school and Junior High school have
made out reading lists for their stu
dents and this has brought many new
borrowers to the library and it will
mean the development of taste for
better literature. The attendance in
the reading room for the year was
7,44S. A large number of maya
zines and newspapers are kept on
hand at the library at all times, eli

The Woman's Study club has donated

books.
