INDIANA MAN APPOINTED Now York. April 26.—Charles E. Rush, librarian of the Indlunapolls public library, has been appointed In 1 (liana state director for the "Books for Everybody” movement of the American Library association. i With the active cooperation of librarians, library trustees and friends of libraries, Mr. Rush will enlist the su/port of the entire state for the prooct of extending public library service Into every community in the country 'and every branch of national activity. I Statistics recently announced by the! United States bureau of education Uhow that more than 60,000,000 people throughout the country do not have access to public libraries. Establishment of new libraries will be j promoted and existing public libraries everywhere will be assisted to develop I vigorous measures for reaching all classes in their respective communities and to meet their full possibilities as agents for the promotion of sound American citizenship. Other outstanding features of the American Library association’s enlarged program are the promotion of library service to the T.T. S. merchant marine. To carry out the program, which has the full endorsement of Commissioner P. P. Claxton, of the United States bureau of education, a “Books for Everybody" fund of $2,000.000 is being obtained without a resort to an intensive drive.

Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. COAL DEPOSITS WILL SOON BE OPENED Washington, D. C. —Secretary of the Interior Payne has approved rules an I regulations for prospecting for and leasing tlie coal deposists under the act of congress approved February 25. 1920. The act provides for the disposition of all coal deposits owned by the United States, except in national parks, military or naval reservations and in the Appalachian forest reserve. The Geological Survey has classified 30,000,060 acres of public lands as containing deposists of coal and an area of 40,000,000 acres, part of which undoubtedly contains such deposists, is awaiting classification. The coal varies from low-grade lignite to a very high quality of bituminous coal. The regulations do not apply to Alaska, where deposists are leased under an earlier act. •*- » J--- J -»J -■ Baptist Church First in State to Raise its Quota t (Continued from page one) valuable assistance to the other churches in the Sunady drive.

JAPAN FACES BITTER FIGHT IN RACE FOR SEATS IN NEW DIET (By Henry W Kinney, United Press staff correspondent) Tokyo. Mnrt'h 23. (By Mailt —The time for the general election which is to elect members to the Diet, to take the place of that which was suddenly dissolved recently, has been set for May 10, and tremendous interest if being taken in the event, with both sides determined to fight to the last ditch. The government has given out that Department of Justice will have control of the election, will take most stringent measures in order to prevent disturbances or irregularities, and th.u it will take drastic steps against anyone found to be interfering with the working of the machinery. While soon after tho dissolution oi the Diet it was generally believed that the government would have a comparatively easy chance of victory, owing to the fact that the party in power always has a great advantage, this b< • lief appears now to be changing to some extent. This is because of the fact that many of tlie bn iness men, who have always been the strong supporters of the Tara business government, are now coming out in opposition to the administration, owing to its proposal to raise the tax rate, a step which will imperatively necetsary to provide funds for tlie great increases In the army and navy budgets to which the government is pledged. In order to combat tho increase in the tax rate, particularly that of wealthy mon and corporations, a taxa tion investigation club has been form cd by members of chambers of commerce, stock exchanges and insurance associations, which intends to lead tlie fight against the tax increase, and this will without doubt cauce some difference in tlie line-up of the forces at the polls. Considerable fear is also being felt that tlie masses may attempt to male their influence felt, and some papers and popular leaders have even gone so far as to predict that Japan is likely to see demonstrations similar to t o race riots of the fall of 1918, in Hie near future. The ugly temper of the working people is being shown by frequent "go slow" strikes, a form of expression which is rapidly becoming the popular form of labor demonstration in Japan. Thus the tramcar men. who only a few weeks ago won out in a strike for higher wages, are again getting ready to enforce a demand for shorter hours by means of giving the worst possible service, and various other workers in different parts of Japan are taking similar action. Tlie situation is s-unmed up by the Jiji, one of the leading Tokyo dailies, which .says: “Since the universal suffrage question became an issue in the Diet, tlie temper of the people has assumed a serious aspect, and the agitations con ducted in Tokyo have been disorderly and unseemly. Indeed, it was fear 1 that such demonstrations would have the effect of delaying the adoption of universal suffrage. Strikes or “go , slow” campaigns have been reported from many parts of the country, and there are various movements of reconstruction. “On account of these movements I and aidtations there la serious unrest among the people, and it is feared that l this unrest will be further intensified by tlie agitation incidental to tlie forthcoming general election, because tlie issue is universal suffrage. As the election campaigns of tlie government and of tho opposition become aui mated, unexpected disturbances may possibly occur, and on this point ail thinking men are seriously concerned. It is to be hoped that the campaigners on both sides will take due note of the present mental condition of the people and will scrupulously refrain from improper actions or utterances.” I ❖ ++ + + + | (b THE WEATHER FORECAST ♦ 1 •b ❖4 l 4> 4* 4* 4* 4 1 + ❖ | Rain probably tonight and Tues.
