Personal Characteristics.
Lord Northcliff had grown thick
through the shoulders and chest. His
fair hair, cut short, was parted on the
side. His face clean -shaven, was of
the big, square, old-fashioned Eng
lish type. His eyes were blue. friendly
but clouded by anxious reflection.
The great war gave his whole ap-
pearance and manner an air Of over
mastering seriousness and strenuosi-
ty. During the long struggle he suf-
ferred unspeakable agonies of spirit.
Our empire Is in a perilous posi-
tion," he said to the writer on No
vember 13. 1915, as he walked back
and forth in his London library. I'VE

present month only one book on re-
ligion has been taken from the lib
rary.
Books on literature are most vide
ly read, and second in popularity are
works on social questions and gov
eminent. This should at least ease
the public conscience a little for the
lack of interest in ecclesiastical mat
ters. Interest in books on both the
fine and useful arts, biography, travel
and history is about equally divided.
Demand for eff Winter Comes"
Interest in books is often stimu-
lated by various causes. Miss Bulge
stated that since the Herald has be-
gun the publication of Hutchinson's
IF Winter Comes" there has been a
veritable run for this book in the lib
rary. People who begin the story In
the newspaper, are impatient in re-
gard to the outcome, and hence the
demand. Patrons sometimes adver-
tise a book. This was shown recently
here, in the case of "Mavis of Green
HILL by Baldfin. an unknown book

astica young girl read the book, and
w4xed warm in its praise to her
friends. AS "a. result the book con-
tinues in circulation. Others read a

homes, miraculously re~-appeared and
found their way back to the library.
The offer of Miss Bulge touched some
others to such an extent that they
brought the missing book1to the desk
and paid the amount due. One little
boy presumably thought that Bar
gain Week" meant just help yourself,
for he was found almost standing on
his head in an effort to fish out a
book from the box. reserved for the
strays. Others desecrate the shrine
of the age in a more discreet man
ner. They brazenly walk in among
the shelves, and calmly walk of with
a copy of "Pilgrim's Progress or
some such similar book, and by their
very i~ndiscretion disarm n suspicion
that may be had. This condition Is
not peculiar to Grand Forks. 1t is a
common practice in Libraries with the
open shelf system. Many are never
returned, but some mysteriously re-

Returns From
ST. uthern Trip

A. l.. hunter, president Of the First
National hank, with Mrs. Hunter, re-
turned Sunday night from San An
tonic, Texas, where they spent a two
and q half months vacation.
Mr.. Hunter. this morning expressed
himself as being greatly pleased with
the general condition of business all
along the. line. The rise in the value
Of live stock ad farm produce general
ly have set a pace for a readjustment
in the agricultural world, and recent
legislation, and official activities, show
that there is q proper recognition both
by Washington, and the public. of n
value Of agriculture, he states.
The outlook here is particularly n
couraging, Mr.. Hunter finds upon his
return, and the condition is so much
year, that he believes there is every
foundation for optimism. In discuss
ing the business and financial condi-
tions with Twin City bankers during
the last few days. he found them
highly optimistic yer the situation in
the northwest. A good crop this sea-
son, and a little economy during the
summer, will put this section SO firm
ly back on the map that the period of
depression which has been experience
ed. will be completely forgotten, Mr..
Hunter believes.
San Antonio is a very agreeable va
cation spot, Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter
found. The climate is not SO evenly
warm as that Of southern Florida, and
the country is not as scenic as Cali
fornia, Mr.. Hunter states, but on the
whole it proved enjoyable. About Ave
weeks ago, both Mr., and Mrs. Hunter
were injured - some extent when
struck by a ~" Of which there

standing on a street corner,Swhen a

sustained by Mr.. and Mrs. Hunter did
not prove serious. and they both are
practically recovered, now. s
