Special COMMITTEES Named Re-
commends Adoption of the
Cestification System
ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch. ]

Chicago, December 29.-Resolu-
tons endorsing national certifica-
ton board for public Libraries and
others declaring that 81 per capita is
reasonable minimum revenue for
the library equipped with trained Ii
brarians, will be presented to the
midwinter meetings Of the American
Library association which opened
here today and continues three days.
One resolution to be offered by a
SPECIAL committe assigned to the
subject of a National Certifcation
Board says:
"Be it resolved that the American
directs the Executive Board of the
Association to appoint forthwith a
special committee, which committee,
in cooperation with representatives of
other bodies interested in standards
Of library service, shall be charged
with the following specific duties, to
wit:
ITO preserve articles of incorpora-
tion for state or federal charter for
a national certifcation board for Ii
braries, In which board the American
have the power to appoint majority
of the members; and,
Recommendation Of Committee
TO report on ways and means OF
financing the activities of such a GER
ticafitoin board The Committee on
library revenues recommends the
adoption of the following:
"The American Library Association
declares that 81 per capita, OF the
population of the community served,
is a reasonable minimum revenue for
the library in communities desiring
to maintain a good modern pubic IL
brary with trained Librarians. This
sum should cover a main library
with reading room facilities, branch
libraries and reading rooms within
easy reach Of all the people in the
larger communities, a registration OF
card holders equal to thirty percent
of the population, and considerable
collection of the more expensive
books of reference, with home use
of about S volumes per capita.
Communities desiring their IL
braries to supply these needs exten-
sively, will need to provide support
beyond the minimum of 81 per cap
ita, and for the highest grade of
service 81 per capita wiuld be a rea>
sonable sum. This would include ex-
tension work sufficient to bring home
to the children, the foreign speaking
people, business men, artisans, ad-
vanced students, public officials, and
in general all classes Of the people,
the opportunities that such library
Is not only ready but is able to afford,
with a service that is administered
by trained Librarians having special
knowledge in their particular depart
ments. Such a service should lead to
a registration OF carholders equal to
fifty percent of the population and a
reading room attendance equal to or
greater than the number of books is
sued for home use"

CALLED TO WASHINGTON
Kansas Professor To Assist In Clas.
styling Insect Specimens
IAsSocIated Pfess DlspaIch.


Lawrence, Kan. December 29.-As
the result of the development of a
new and practical system OF classi-
flying the ,hemitera group Of insects
H. B. Hungerford professor of ento-
mology in the University of Kansas,
has been called to Washington, ID. e.
by DR.. l.. o. Howard, director of the
National Museum, to assist in clasSi-
flying a large number of insect speci-
mems in the National Museum.
The hemitera group OF insects in
cludes the chinch bug, squash and
San Jose scale, the most destructive
group of insects from an economic
standpoint. For years scientists have
been unable to develop a sure sys-
tenn of classifying members of this
group which is important because Of
the methods used in combating the
different insect pests which affect
crops.
Originally, classifaction was made
by color, but this has not been a sure
index The method of classification
worked out by Professor Hungerford
is according to the internal structure
Of the insects.
First information concerning Pro-
fessor Hungerford's experiments was
published in the University of Kan
sas Scientific Quarterly with the re-
suit that scores of letters of inquiry
have come from scientists throughout
the country and in Europe.

Court At NeU Ulm
Grinds Out the Cases
Several Criminal Actions; Two
Defendants Found Guilty OF
Abusing Girl

= New Ulm, December 29.-After be-
ing out all night the jury in the case
of the State of Minnesota VS. William
II. English reported to the court that
they had agreed upon a verdict find
ing the defendant guilty as charged
in the Indictment. The jury stood
eight to four for conviction for a long
time, and not until morning did the
others come over the conviction.
English was charged in the indIct-
ment with having committed rape on
Alice Allen. twenty-five years old,
with the intellect of an infant OF ten
years, who is an inmate of the feeble
minded school at Faribault.
The crime for which English was
indicted and convicted was commit
ed at Sleepy Eye, December 26, 1920,
when Alice was at home visiting, with
her father.
Frank Prokosch, who was also in
dicted for the same offense commit
ted upon the person Of Alice Allen in
New Ulm in January, 1921, was the
celebrating for less than two hours,
brought In a verdict of guilty.
Both defendants asked for a stay
of execution, which was granted untu
January IA, when q motion will be
made for new trial, which, if denied,
may mean that an appeal will be TAX
en- to the state supreme court.
Both defendants were sentenced by
Judge Olsen Friday afternoon. Pro
sentence to the st. Cloud reformatory
and English TO the state prison at
saltwater. The minimum penalty
for rape is seven years and the max
imum thirty years.
In the course of the trial it devel-
oped that Henry Allen, the father.
had also carnally abused his own
daughter and he has since been ar
rested and he had his preliminary
hearing at Sleepy Eye Wednesday.
Since the commission of the crime
English has married a sister of the
abused girl and Prokosch has married
a daughter Of William Haenze. Mrs
Haenze is a step daughter Of Henry
Allen.
William Brown plead guilty to
grand larceny In the first degree and
was sentenced to two and a half
years at the st. Cloud reformatory.

charge against him was dismissed.
Ernest Iwersk was found not guilty
OF having stolen an automobile out

Iwerks claimed that he had register

ttmony by putting Professor Brand

Associated Press Dispatch I

Pittsburgh, December 29.-Towns-
people and farmers must put them
selves in an attitude of making con-
sessions or as On alternative, cooper
ative stores established ty combina
tions Of farmers will ultimately drive
local merchants out of the business,
North Dakota told the mombcrs OF
the American Sociological Society at
its annual meeting here today.
THAT organizat'c~s OF farmers has
intensified the strife between city
and country is generally recognized
by students Of the subject" contin-
ued Dr.. Gillette. TOO often the
blame is attached exclusively tc the
farmers as If they have no rights of
self protection. 1t is not always per-
cefved that the business elements of
cities have been ORGANIZED as pro;

that the tendency is for all these
elements to present a united front
when ameliorative agricultural legis-
lation Is proposed or when farmers
attempt cooperative enterprises.
IF the farmers ar right in their
contentious that they received an un-
duly small proportion Of the proceeds
from their produce, then they have a
right to organize both economically

But be it remembered that their Co
operative efforts about as much hos

Good Roads Desirable
There are man.

trade that country and town are ar
rayed against each other, the ques
ton arises as to how they can COM
pose their differences. The local mer-
chant insists that farmers and other
consumers should patronize home in.
dustries and grow quite bitter over
buying from mail order houses. The
farmer, in turn, insists that local
prices Of the things he buys are too
high and for things he sells, too low.
"If both sides will be sensible and
fair, there is basis OF compromise;
but townsmen and farmers must put
themselves In fi1e attitude OF making
concessions. The farmers should not
be expected to sacrifice all of their
gains from buying from mail order
houses, for example; nor should they
expect small merchants to meet the
prices OF such huge and efficient es
tablishments. The merchant should
be willing to. cut prices and farmers
to pay margin for local conven-
fence.
'The alternative would appear to
the development of cooperative
stores by farmers that will ultimately
drive local merchants out of business.
The latter would become managers
Of and sales men In such undertak-
ings. This would remove the reason
for strife"
