Progress
Of Library
Is Marked

Dallas, Nov. 30.-The first an
nual meeting of the Polk county
library board was preceded Tues
day noon by a luncheon that
proved to be quite an event. AT a
table extending across the base
ment Of the Dallas city library
building basement some 25 guests
sat down to spread that caused
a vote Of thanks to Miss f. H.
Hout and Miss Ada Syron, county
and city Librarians.
Following tho lunch, which was
nicely served by several high
school girls, Walter S. Muir, chair
man Of the county board, told of
the formation of the county Ii
brary last June, at which time
the city library was made part
of the county. He Said that six
months experience had shown
the practicability of the plan, and
predicted that it would be sue
cessful.
Miss F. H. Hout, who came
from the office of the state libra
rian upon the formation of the
county library and took charge,
told of the growth that has been
experienced. When the Dallas Ii
brary was taken over it had $500
books, to which 7S5 have since
been added. There has been cir
culated in the past six months
1000 more books than were sent
out during the same period a year
ago. The county library is now
serving 40 districts, and expects
in the course of time to serve ev-
cry district in the county. In ad-
dition to furnishing the books the
library pays the carriage, so the
county districts are not subject
ed to any expense. In addition to
these circulated books, the state
has furnished II travelling libra
res that are in service. More of
these are to come.
Judge A. B. Robinson, who pre-
sides over the county court, said
that it was uncertain just how
much financial assistance could
be rendered this year, because of
the lack of funds, but promised
that the court would do the best
possible. Until it was known just
how much was required for other
purposes it would not be possible
to state what appropriation could
be made for the library.
Miss Cornelia Marvin, state Ii
brarian, pledged the complete CO.
operation Of her department in
the upbuilding of the Polk coun-
ty library, and predicted that it
would become one of the greatest
and most useful in the state.
Those who participated in the
were:
From Independence-H. Hirsh-
berg, Mrs. A. L. Spur, Mrs. Chas.
Calbreath, Mrs. g. A. McLaugh-
lin, Mrs. Clyde Ecker, Mrs. Alice

nouncing to the All-Russian soviet
congress soviet Russia's acceptance
of the American Relief Administra-
tion's proposal to give Russia So0.-
100000 worth of grain on condition
that Russia buy $10,900,000 more
in America. Premier Lenin today
estimated that this total of 100000, 900
would buy about 100000 900 pools of
grain. (This is approximately 1S.000,-
900 bushels.)'
The soviet premier said this would
greatly help the famine situation in
the Volga district, but declared the
soviet government must continue to
exert every effort to collect it's full
grain levy. He said it would re-
quire 100000 pools more from
abroad to bring the total average
before next harvest to 215.000,000

low the minimum necessary to carry
