Had Hlorida this very desirable asset it would be emblazoned on every piece of literature the state would issue. Cannot Legislate Prices “While North Dakota depends more on agriculture than any other state in the union, we believe little. relief for improved agricultural conditions will come through legislation. This is the largest spring wheat producing state in the union, A higher price in at means a great deal to the en- ate. It seems illogical to ex- y legislature can materially, tificially, raise the price of wheat when this’ country has millions of y | bushels of wheat that must be export- ed to find a purchaser, thas being sold on a competitive basis with wheat exported from Argentina, In- dia and other countries growing an excess of wheat over home consump- tion. “We believe there is a great field lin North Dakota for farmers to im- peove tneir farms with trees and shrubbery thus making them more attractive, with a carefully balanced farm program, and it is our convic- tion that the pendulum will soon na- turally swing in favor of the farmer.” MANY FORWARD STEPS TAKEN DURING PAST YEAR IN THE BISMARCK LIBR iy brary has The Bismarck yee sa tich as it looks over ‘much to be proud o its past achievements, and even more to Wok forward to’ us it presses nhead to a greater opportunity. Dur- ing the year just closing a number of forward steps have been taken, For the first time in its history, financial} n support has been adequate to provide a generous supply of new books, In, the four months since September 1, 528. new books have been put on to the shelves, 306 of which were adult and _ 222 juvenile, More new ones are on hand at present, ready to be cata- loged and made available as fast as possible.

The appreciation of the public for its new books has been apparent in the increased circulation since they began appearing. The highest point of tho year’s circulation came in No- vember, when 2,682 books were given out, 1,918 adult, and 764 juvenile. The uber of borrowers at present is 1,712 adult, and a much smaller num- ber of children. Neither the cireula- tion nor the number of borrowers are what they should be in a city of this ize and rank, according to Miss ‘auline Rich, librarian, Analysis of the figures shows that the quality of Bismarek’s reading as indicated by its Mbsary figures is beter than its a , however. ‘the 2,682 Books cltvulated in November, for in- culation was non-fiction, Of this 27 rt eant the largest propo) longed to “literature,” so call | Sa PR Bg upset of the year | ¢. most. : ADVERTISING veral such contribu-! | craphy, history, travel, sociology, re- | ligion, philosophy, useful arts, science and fine arts, Performs Many Services Of course, circulation figures, while the most easily compiled, are merely j one indication of the service which the library has gi Reference ‘work for high school students and jclub women has been carried on i throughout the year as far as the | facilities of reference books and per- | \ jodicals have permitted, and the read- i m has been in constant use: | t in the library ‘hag also ‘been evidenced by generous gifts of | books and magazines whi !come from patrons and citizens.

The Juvenile Department a The greatest needs at present are jin the juvenile department. Although new hooks have been added, the sup- ply is still pitifully inadequate, and us the wear and tear on children’s hooks is great, it will take some time to build up this department to what it should be. New chairs and tables {have been ordered for the children’s room, and will be in place shortly after the beginning of the new year, and will add a great deal to the at- | tractiveness and comfort and usabili- ty of the children’s department.

B. Burtness) It is well for people of our state occasionally to take stock so that we may properly appreciate our many op- portunities, From personal contact with men and women from other sec- tions of our country I know the need of our state advertising its merits to the outside world, for none is more misunderstood throughout the nation. For decades we have been misrepre- sented to our serious detriment. It is not my intention to present detailed facts and figures as to our growth, our varied resources, our sound foundations, our changed and improved methods ‘of farming or our opportunities as compared with other sections, That will doubtless be done in articles prepared for such pur- poses, Permit me, however, to appeal to the pesple of the state to do their in- dividual part to let others know what we have. Tell them only the truth. Be first convinced of what a splendid state we have and then get the facts to others, Constant, onthusiastic, but sane efforts with this in view would mean much for North Dakota’s fu- ture, . Let us be especially proud of our citizenship, forgwe have the cream of many states and of many. countries. the sons and daughters of pioneers, Most of our people are pioreers, of || The timid did not. start out for our Prairies, and the weak on. the way. It is therefore but tigtural that we have a class of people surpassed nowhere, Farmer Must Prosper North Dakota is primarily an agri- cultural state. Its standing eventual- ly will be determined by. tle pros- pects and happiness afforded to its farming population—to those who are permanent home-builders rather than agriculturalists, Their, welfare should, therefore, always be our first concern. Their problems should be carefully and sympathetically studied by every resident regardless of class or occupation. With hearty and sympathetic co- operation hetween the people on our furms and’ in our towfis and cities, with a better understanding of our mutual problems, with consistent work and effort along progressive lines, nothing can prevent North Da- kota from becoming an outstanding state of happy homes and of content- ed and prosperous people. Let us make our fellow Americans recognize these facts. JAIL MUST WAIT Boston.—Willlam L. ‘Thornton was arrested after a revolver went off in his home.
