Say Pussywill0ws,
Lilacs Now in Bud

There's nothing unusual about
the weather from statistical
standpoint, according to Federal
Observer o. w. Roberts, but lilacs
and pussywillows are beginning
to bud and nature lovers report
other evidences Of spring.
PeonieS have budded below the
surface of the ground, getting
ready to make an early appear
ance next spring, while in many
places the ground Is not even
frozen despite recent zero tenn
peratures.
Roberts explained that the
ground is dry and did not freeze
deeply with the result that re-
cent warm weather thawed it
out.
It is not unusual for lilacs and
pussywillows to begin budding
during any brief warm spell if
the temperatures have not been
unusually low, he said, and buds
frequently have been reported
during January thaws.
Much warmer temperatures
have been recorded during No.
vember than have prevailed dur
ing the last few days, Roberts
said.

they get their man. A year ago a
cannibal tribe ambushed, murdered
ard probably ate five japanese pearl
ers in Caledon Bay. Morey and Ma

what British law thinks of such prac-
tees. For long time they struggled
through jungle, desert and wilderness
until they found the tribe. Eluding
the "cockatoos" Oookouts) they bold
ly strobe into the camp as the tribe
was performing ceremonial dance.
The natives, quaking in fear at the
sudden appearance of the white men,
which they regarded as miracle,
stood by dumbfounded while Morey
and Mahoney seized the chief and
medicine man and put them in
chains. Then the two policemen. with
their prisoners, tramped back to OAR

lands, with walls Of mourning behind
them.

GAINS 2OPER CENT
IN 1O-YEAR PERIOD
North Dakota Library Commits
sion Reports Increased
Demand This Year

North Dakota is growing more
book-conscious.
Figures indicating that residents OF
the state are taking their reading
seriously have been compiled by Miss
Lillian Cook, secretary Of the state
library commission. Her survey shows
a circulation increase Of nearly 20
per cent since 1921, proving that this
year heavier demands than ever be-
fore have been made on the state
and public libraries.
Several reasons for the tncreas-
ingly large numbers OF books from
library sources In use are apparent,
according to Miss Cook. Enforced
leisure Is an important one, she be-
lieves, and buying Of fewer magazines
in the home another. Other factors
are less money for commercial
amusements and decreased use Of the
automobile for pleasure riding.
added to these" Miss Cook said,
lis the real desire OF men and women
to understand present-day economic
conditions in an effort to find solu-
ton for problems which will suggest

ing.
Further, there are those who wish
to make themselves more efficient in
the jobs they hold or who wish to
prepare themselves for other posi-
tons.
Finally, there are many who turn
to romance, to adventure and to
travel, as found in books, as re-
lease from unhappy and drab condi-
tiOnS."
Persons throughout the state who
are without local library service are
increasingly turning to the state
library commission for reading mate
rial. A comparison OF its last two
biennial reports shows a circulation
increase of 26,403.
Proof of the constant. growth In the
commissions book service Is shown
in the following comparative figures
relating to books circulated:
One year-l920-192l ......... 12,479
One month-Oct. 1881 ....... 1898
