The requirements of today tor li brarians of great public libraries like Chicago's, whence 2,5000,000 people annually get reading matter, were il lumined by the prolonged hunt by the Chicago trustees before Henry E. Legler of Milwaukee was, chosen. Time was when a librarian was not necessarily« trained professionally. Now-a-days the head of a big public library must combine the qualities of a scholar, a diplomat, ail executive and a litetateur. The experience of Mr. Legler, who has been secretary of the Wisconsin Free Library com mission for over live years, shows what varied training and accomplish ments are necessary. Bom in Paler mo, Italy, he w&s educated in Switzer land and began work in a Milwaukee newspaper office as a printer. Later he was reporter Nand then edittor, and was elected a member of the Wiscon sin legislature. Now he is president of the publishing board, the executive board and the national council of the American Library association. He be longs to th£ American Library insti tute, he has been councilor at NOT SO GOOD—GO FARTHER. Five years ago last September the Devils Lake Indian reservation was last two thrown open for settlement and at that time there were any number of people living here who absolutely paid no attention to-it. They would not even take the time and trouble to go to the school house and register, say ing that it did not look-good to them.

NEW GARDEN OF EDEN. Five billion dollars to make the United States a mammoth Garden of Eden, every acre of which shall yield abundantly, every road of which shall be as smooth and level as a turnpike, every river of which shall bear on -its broad bosom the commerce of a pros perous section—a Garden which shall literally flow with the milk and honey of contentment and properity! Such is the gigantic plan fathered by Arthur Hooker, secretary of the board of con trol of the National Irrigation Con gress which held its seventeenth ses sion in Spokane, -Washington, in Au gust last Mr. Hooker proposes to memorialize Congress to issue three per cent gold bonds, running one hundred years, to the amount of $5,000,000,000, or as much thereof as may be necessary, for the following specific purposes: One billion dollars for drainage of over flowed and swamp lands, thuB reclaim ing an area equal to 100,000 square miles one billion dollars for the re clamation by irrigation of 40,000,000 acres of arid and semi-arid lands, now partly or wholly waste one billion dollars to construct and improve deep waterways, to develop thousands of miles of territory now ^without ade quate transportation facilities one bil lion dollars for good roads and nation al highways, for the lack of Which the loss to the farm area of the United States is approximately $500,000,000 annually one billion dollars for forest protection, reforestation and conserva tion qf forest resources, thus assuring timber and lumber Supplies for cen turies to come.

THE UNREMltNERATED HUSBAN& Married women have frequently voiced their belief that a woman should be remunerated for being a wife, and the law recognizes the claim in principle by allowing alimony, in di vorce cases. That husbands are en titled to compensation for merely tie lng decent husbands is a new idea. William Decato, a baseball player 6f Bristol, N. H., brings it to public not ice by entering a counter claim to his wife's suit for divorce and alimony, in which he chargres $10,500 "for sev en years' services as a devoted hnB-1 band." For many years the American wife has accepted the services of her hus band as a matter of course: And if she belonged to society, she might spend her husband's money in luxuri ous living, reducing him to be her very humble servant. That he was suffi ciently compensated by his position as her devout worshiper and the provider of her needs has been the tacit un derstanding in countless American homes. But it Is evident that we are enter-1 ing upon a new era in the marital re lationship, and there is to be a stricter balancing of accounts. The days of heedless romance vanished with the coming of the suffragette. Women are themselves repudiating chivalry In or der to gain what they conceive to be more desirable ends. And it will prob ably come to pass, If women continue to place a money value upon them selves As wives., that husbandB will begin-to ask why they should continue to be mere providers, frequently with out even the tKxir prMlbge of holding the bag.

THE HEN THAT ADVERTISED. We read a little story ta ago aboutltwo hens. These particular hens were members of a large flCMik and were direct opposites of one an other. One of the hens, proud of her accsomplishiaents, cackled loudly and long every time she laid ah egg, and acordlngly was greatly prized by the owner.. The other hen, thinking that every body knew it was a hen's business to lay eggs, would not cackle at all but go-quietly in search of food after en ridhing the nest with# a nice fresh egg. One diy the owner of these chickens grew hungcy for potpie and knowing that the cackling hen was a layer, be headed the hen that nevfer cackled de claring that a hen that did npt cackle a a a a It seems to be a part of wisdom to let the world know what you are do ing. So suppose you try the cackling game. Tota may haye many things that tie' public wants but the proba ilitles are that the .^public knows nothing about your having them.— Westhope Standard. UNDRAWN POULTRY ILLEGAL. For Bome time it has been coitiqid ered that the sale of undrawn poultry is not desirable. In many states the sale has npt been permitted, and re cently, after more complete investiga tions, other states under food laws similar our own, are taking steps to prevent' the sale of the same. Section it, clause ,3, of the North Dakota Pure food law, defines adulter ation as follows: "If it consists, wholly or In part, of, a diseased, decomposed, filthy or put rid animal or vegetable substance.^ and if such substance or snbstances be us-| ed in the -preparation thereof, or if lt^ is the product of diseased animal or on^ that has diedv otherwise thavf by slaughter."
