The game is Played very much like
jack straws. Each player has a turn
in trying to remove the seeds in the
sand. A player may remove any num-
ber of seeds during his turn, but as
soon as he moves any other seed than
the one he is trying to take out of the
sand, or as soon as the sand slides
down the side of the mound, the next
player takes his turn. At the end of
the game the player who has removed
the greatest number of seeds wins.
Sometimes green grapes or nuts are

Piggers on the Run

We are glad to notice that the
officials of Bismarck and Mandan
are doing some good work, in their
campaign against the blind piggers.
Twenty-seven injunctions were
served in Mandan last Friday.
Deputy Sheriff Barnes and Chief
of Police Mcdonald of Bismarck
are determined to put a stop to
blind rigging south of the tracks
and have, at different times lately,
captured several cases of beer. An
experience last Saturday when it
was necessary to stop a drayman
with few shots was very exciting
Later in the day three cases were
captured at a shack south of town,
making in all eleven cases taken on
that day.

Public Libraries Sent Free

IUUul IlUl 0llSS SSul TICK
Fargo Forum: "One of the great
advantages of living in a progress
i've city, is the access to a public
library" said DR.. Max Bait Of
the A.. G. today. every citizen
may go to its reading room, help
himself to the books and magazines
displayed there and read to his
hearts content on whatever sub
ject interests him, without costing
him a cent. Or, if he wishes, he
may draw one or more books and
take them to his home. Surely a
great privilege, if you consider
that no intelligent man. in any
walk of life, can get along nova
days without books.
until recently only the city
dweller had this privilege. But
today the farmer has practically
the same advantage, for he a
have the library brought to his
very door, without costing him but
a few cents. He can read during
the long winter evenings not only
books of fiction, biography, histo-
ry, travels, etc, but also the latest
and best books on agricultural
subjects-books that have been
carefully selected on such subjects
as dairying, poultry, stock Judging,
farm machinery and many others.
"How can one get these. books,
you will ask. Very easily. Form
a club of six farmers, who would
be interested in such reading, elect
one your secretary, let him send
the names of those six farmers to
the Public Library commission,
Bismarck, N. d., and ask for a
farmers library. He will receive
in due time a we'll made wooden
case containing fifteen of the best
books along agricultural lines, to-
gether with a copy Of the rules
governing these so called travelling
libraries. Each farmer in the COM
munity can then draw a book that
suits his fancy, take it to his own
home and keep it for two or four
weeks. Then return it to the Sec
Rotary of the club and draw anoth-
er book. After six months the en-
tire case of books is returned to
the library commission at Bis
".larck, and another, and another,
ov different travelling library, may
PIP secured. The only agreement
that all the books be sent back
arb Bismarck in good condition.
'u1 hat is why these six farmers act
guarantors that none of the
books will be lost or mutilated.
erd he only expense to them is the
Weight, which on a box of books
like the one described amounts to
about 25 or so cents. Thus every
farmer in the state of North Da-
kota is given an opportunity to
read all the books he wishes at
practically no cost.
Besides the farmers library.
there is also the general travelling
library, and this, as already stated,
contains twenty-five to fifty of the
best books on all sorts of subjects.
In every collection of this kind
there will be books of interest to
the farmer, his wife and his child
rem, and the conditions for secur-
ing it are the same as those for
the farmers library. Henceforth,
in North Dakota, at least, no one
living in a rural community need
envy the city dweller his opportu-
nifty of reading all he cares to
without any expense to him. A
travelling library adds immeasur-
ably to the attractiveness of the
farm home"
