THE FOOTBALL HERO
He Keeps His Eye on the Ball.

The brawny athlete of the modern
football gridiron is full of pluck,
nerve and muscle. He. keeps his eye
on. the ball during every moment of
play, and that eye is clear and never
failing. He has no fear; he appar-
emily has no nerves. He eats like a
horse and sleeps like a baby. His
muscles are like steel and his steam
never plays out. There is no such
word as fail in his lexicon. Ninety
nine out of every hundred football
heroes are a success in life.
Why? They have stamina, health,
strength. nerve. Their stonachs are
in perfect condition.. They are fitted
in early youth for the strenuous bat
ties of life. If they get run down
they know what they need--a good
tonic. Perhaps they took it when in
training. If they had good Judgment
they used Walther's Peptonized Port,
which is the best tonic ever placed
before the public. 1t is palatable and
pure. It invigorates and strengthens
and puts your digestive organism per-
fect working order. "Peptonized
Port''--it sounds good; it is good. You
will be surprised to know how good it
really is. Throw. off that tired feel
ms at once and feel like you ought to
feel. You will have no dyspepsia, in
digestion. biliousness, diarrhoea, fiat

lied Port. Two sizes. soc and 81

FIRE SWEPT
TOWNS OFFER
DONNYBROOK, N. d., PUTS AN AP-
PEAL ON A BUSINESS BASIS.
row Money to Rebuild, but Don't
Want to BE BIed-An Appeal to
Capital Issued by Committee.

In order that Phoenix-like the vii
lage of Donnybrook, N. D., may rise
from it's ruins better built than ever,
the people of that little 500 line com
munity have issued an appeal to the
people of the northwest.
But instead Of making this appeal
one for charity. as has so often been
done by cities and villages alike when
they have suddenly been visited by
disaster from fire, flood or; storm,
these pioneers of the prairie have put
their appeal on business basis.
Fire, starting at an early hour of
the morning Of Dec. 8, destroyed all
the business portion of the village,
causing a loss of $4,000, on which
there was only $4,000 insurance.
Because Of the youth of the COM
munity, lack of preparation for such
a disaster, and the especially unfor-
tunate season which finds many of
the villagers without homes and
without means to build others, there
is great need for outside assistance.
o. This is the way the people put
their situation:
1--WE are not asking for aid. All
we want is to get money OH a plan
whereby we can pay it back in
monthly installments at rate Of in
terest that will not bleed us to
DEATH .. t e..
In furtherance of this desire a
committee, headed by e. T. Carey
has issued the following appeal 10
Capital From a. Stricken North
Dakota Town: ...

.'"This beautifut village on the 500
railroad, in the famous Des- Lac val
ley, was visited by fire Dec. 9, which
left about one-half the town in
ruins Many Of the business places
DESTROYED were those of enterprising
and progressive men, who will be
hampered in their efforts to resume
business by the want of necessary
funds. with which to erect buildings.
''They. own their lots, their credit
is good and their insurance money
will enable them to embark again in
business. That new buildings will go
up is an assured thing, but under the
circumstances it is impossible for all
to put up as desirable buildings as it
is the wish of the citizens to see.
There should be no make-shlft wood
en- affairs. such as are generally seen
where a fire has ragged.
eff some arrangement could. be
made whereby money could be OBJ
tanned on the building and Joan or
installment plan, it would afford an
opportunity for idle capital to do a
vast amount of good and secure rich
returns. :-..s-..
''The village is situated in a rich
agricultural country, occupied by a
thrifty class of people and drawing
trade from a territory extending from
fifteen to thirty miles in different di-
rections. On the north and east 1t
controls the trade as far as the Mouse
river, and on the south to the Codah
hills and beyond. This. and the fact
that the town is right in the midst
Of a rich coal mining and brick
making region, makes it's future one
of .undoubted prosperity"

MI. Kellogg, who IS a real naturalist.
following in the footsteps Of John Bur-
roughs, for whom he has a great ad-
miration, is above all a true bird lover,
and the songs and trills of thu va:ious
birds he initiated faithfully by the most
marvellous sort of 'twiistiing' were made
the more realistic by series of stereop-
ticon views showing the birds in their
own fields and wood lands. .....-
Especially striking were the pictures
of the little f1edglings, just ready to leave
the nest. Followers of amat eur photog-

Kellogg's lecture on bird life to demon

APPROVE The
VOTERS LEAGUE
CITY FATHERS SAY NEW ORGAN
IZATION is A GOOD THING.
Some Doubt Its Permanency, but for
Most Part the Aldermen lndOrse
Its Plans - Some Opinions EN-
pressed by Members of City COun-
Gil

AS the new Voters league intends
10 interest itself particularly in the
aldermanic campaigns, 1T is quite nat
ural that such of the aldermen as are
planning to have the voters return
them to the city council should be
interested in the league. it's purposes
and particularly it's methods. Doubt
less all of them will be looking for
an Endorsement by the league, even
those who are not entitled to 1T and
are we'll aware of the fact.
In the main the city fathers eN-
press a cordial approval of the gen
eral aims of the league and think 1t
will prove a power for much good.
None of the aldermen interviewed by
T h e rJ ournal has attacked or
criticized the new civic organization,
but some express doubts as to us
permanency, citing the history of the
good citizenship movement as d
precedent.
Following are a few sample opin-
ions culled among the aldermen
Alderman James Fl. Duryea. Tenth
Ward---I approve Of the objects or
the league. AS a democrat l must
do so, for the platforms of our party
have always demanded economy and
honesty i'll the administration OF mu-
ncipal affairs.
Alderman Frank l.. Schoonmaker,
Thirteenth Ward-There is unuues-

in this city. and it will prove valuable
if it can do as we'll as the Chicago
league has done. The league has not

CAN'T Be MADE TO PAY
A LEGAL IMPOSSIBlLIII 10 GEI
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAN
JUDGMENT AGAINST NONRESI-
DENT MORTGAGEE.

..'It is a legal impossibility to get
personal property judgment against
nonresident mortgage, as the law
points out no method by which service
can be obtained against a noneresr
dent in personal property tax proceed
ing So says G. l.. Smith, assistant
county attorney, in discussing a state
ment recently made in T h u r.
II a to the effect that much OF the
money owing the county On delinquent
taxes are in judgments against non
resident mortgages. Continuing, MIR.
Smith said: -,....... -
I'm all cases where a Judgment has
been entered, the sheriff has returned
the citation as served upon the de-
PENDANT and the sheriff could only
serve these citations upon persons
within the state. If any Judgment
dent in tax proceedings, it would be
the error of the district court. or the
clerk Of the district court and not of
the county attorneys office, as no tax
proceedings is turned over to the
county attorneys office except where
answer has been filed. In all other
cases Of tax proceedings where service
is had and no answer filed, the court
makes a general order for Judgment,
which order is prepared by the; clerk
of the district court
Notwithstanding this statement of
the law Inere are d '1luHlDef OI ltA
judgments against nonresident mort
gagees now in the hands Of the sher-
if and owing to the amount involved
in each their aggregate represents a
large proportion of the noncollectable
tax judgments now in existence. Ex-
ecutions are ordered issued upon them
by the county attorneys office and the
attempted service Of the same takes
up much of the sheriff's time and
causes his deputies much trouble.
The assessor in taking notations Of
mortgages from the register Of deeds
| office carelessly assesses many nom
! resident mortgages. The tax is not
| paid and when the warrants are
| passed up to the county commission
ers instead of looking up and cam
ceiling those against nonresidents. all
over certain amount are put in judg-
ment. Citations are then issued and
served or attempted to be served at
| great expense of time. In some in
| stances service is made on persons of
| the same name as the real nonresident
| mortgage, judgments are entered and
citations issued. In this and other
ways many judgments are carelessly
allowed to get thru which are worth
less and the result is the waste pf
public time and money.
