The very defi-! niteness of the slogan means work. “Also, North Dakota has a leader- ship in its fight on illiteracy in its state superintendent that some of the states lack.

From the meeting of the North Da-! kota State Teachers asociation, Mrs. | Stewart will go to Washington, where! ; she will confer with Secretary of Com- | merce Herbert Hoover in an effort to} have the census }ists opened that the! names of the illiterates in the North| Dakota counties may be copied. The} three congressmen from the state will} be asked ‘to lend their assistance in making this action possible and also will be asked to take charge of the| copying the names if the permission | #s'granted.' making this as their con-! tribatio to’ the fight on illiteracy inj the ‘state. Mrs. Stewart has little doubt that when Mr. Hoover under- | stands the great value that will come not only to North Dakota, but to other | states as well in the elimination of | illiteracy, he will not only open the lists to clerks but give every Possible | aid in this work. The lists were open- | ed to Mrs. Stewart for the copying of | the lists of the illiterate of Kentucky. | Since then the lists havé been closed at the instance of the director of the { cénsus and it is Mrs. Stewart's hope} to get an order from Mr. Hoover, | opening the Itsts not only to the rep- ; Tesentatives of North Dakota but to the other states as well. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR LIBRARY Jamestown, N. D., Nov. 11—Because of the financial condition of the city library association, which makes it impossible to purchase’ ‘books published in large numbers, a pri- vately subscribed fund has been used to purchase a number of the late books, which will be loaned upon a rental basis. It also has been decided to ‘oan all but the current numbers of magazines, thus making the numbers |: of all but the present month avail- able for home reading. to the mercy of the powers which, for years have made a football of| her, it is but a question of time be- fore he is lifted bodily from his se- clusion and plumped down on the; bard, but gaudy, dragon throne— | there to be the servitor of an Anglo- Japaneses alliance.

So she gets a job as a model ina fashion shop, and there meets a man who | knews of her ‘passion, He offers to give her every- thing she desires for a pace of three weeks, with no conditions. She accepts, with no dishonorable thought or Intention. She does not tell her husband, and he discovers the secret, of course putting on it the worst construction, and refus- ing to accept her explanations. Was the wife wrong in her actions, and kow could she have made amends? This is what we want the ladles to decide. But be- fore they do that, they must get all the facts In the case clearly, as they are shown on the sereen of the Rex Thenter today in the photoplay, “Dangerous Toys.” They should send their verdict in writing to Harry Evans, Aavere tising Manager, Rex Theater.
