BOOKS FOR ALL. Minnesota ranks sixteenth among the states of the union in the num- ber of volumes it has on file in its public libraries, according to statis- tics just compiled by the bureau of education at Washington. In fact the figures show that if every resident within the corporate limits of Minnesota should decide all at once to do a little reading and swooped down upon the public li- braries of the state in a body, there ‘would be enough books on the shelves to give nearly every man, woman and child a volume. The statistics compiled by the bu- reau of education include -only Ili- braries that have a minimum of 5,- 000 volumes; 62 libraries within Minnesota qualified in this respect, the total number of books which they possessed being 1,633,687 The total income. of these:libraries was $486,227, while the expenditures amounted .to $459,173. NEW :SLOGAN. The editor of the Le Sueur Center Leader-Democrat gives. us the fol- lowing: A news item tells us about a fel- low-who- went. to Northern Minnesota a few years ago;with $1. He wanted to borrow $50 to buy a piece of land, but: could-not,. therefore he invested his $1 in a poker game and won $117; bought, his land and is now wealthy.. Of course we hear about this man, but how about the fellow who lost the $117? Presume now that. the northern part of the state will soon substitute as a slogan, “Go north,and play poker,” for the well- known slogan of “Go West and grow up with the country.” UNCLE .

T0 THE MEN-WHO STAY AT HOHE The following lines, which .are published by request, were written by the Pipe Major of the 19th Cana- dian Battalion and - forwarded - to Canada: Oft in my trench I think Of the poer chaps left at home And the perils that surround them ‘Where’er they choose to roam, There’s train and tram collisions, The juggernaut motor bus, Bacilli in the cow’s milk And:Zepp raids which are worse; How awful it must be at night To sleep on a feather bed And find at breakfast in the morn There is butter on your bread. With all these shocking worries A man’s life must be sad, And to know that I am missing-them Makes me exceedingly glad. Now out here, things are different, Life is funny and is free, There ain’t butter on our bread Or cow’s milk in our tea. There are no car collisions Or feather beds at night, All we have to trouble us Is bullets, bombs and shells, Bully beef and biscuits And nasty horrid smells, So to the chaps in Canada I send my sympathy, And tell them for their safety’s sake To come out here with me.

Mason.) * * United Press Staff * * Correspondent. * KKK KK KKK K] Most important action taken by any of the belligerents for recovery from the exhausting destructiveness of the war is the American tour of an industrial commission from France, which will study ways for increasing French productivity when peace is declared. France is thus preparing in ad- vance to offset the financial burdens of the war. There is only one way for the belligerent nations to over- come the dead weight of indebtedness which the war is causing. A nation pays its debts by its products. If, when the war is ended, the European countries are able largely ‘to increase their productivity, they can provide without difficulty for proper liquidation of the properties they are now contracting. That is what saved Europe after the Napoleonic wars. An era of in- vention of labor-saving machinery caused an immense industrial expan- sion throughout Europe and the large increase in productivity was much |more than sufficient to wipe off Eu- rope’s long years of financial, ,losses.

She feared she would have to undergo an operation. Her com- plexion suffered along with her gen- eral health. Then she discovered Mayr's Won: derful Remedy and took a course.-of treatment. The first dose brought re- sults. She wrote: “Only one dose and I slept-like a +log. And T felt relieved right away. If I should need any more medicine you may be sure I will send, for it.; It is a wonder one can be rid of-such conditions without pain. And my complexion is clearing; they all speak :r it—I was so yellow and brown be- lore.” Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives pers manent results for stomach, liver and'}. intestinal ailments.
