all prominent citizens of the United
States, to whom have already given
the library with authority to dispose of
il as their judgment may indicate.
In my opinion the disposition should
not be determined as long as have
health and strength to continue the work,
and then provision should be made for its
reservation and continuance. Certainly
if the government of the United States
could accept it and it were located in
the Library of Congress at Washington
there is not an author in the world
who would not be eager to have his
books in it. And there should be COM
mittee of competent critics to pass upon
the books to be admitted.
Mr.. Young also has acquired a very
large collection of original manuscripts
in different languages. Many authors
are sending them to him in apprecia-
tion of his efforts to recoanize and per-
petuate the literary work that is being
done. They are beginning to realize
that posterity may judge them by the
inscriptions they place in the books and
arc taking ereat interest in submitting
evidence. as it were. for the defense.
The French government has taken an
active interest in Mr.. Young's works
and bestowed upon him the Cross of the
Legion of Honor several years ago.

In connection with the foregoing II
will be of interest to our readers tc
recall the fact that some years ago Mr..
Young made valuable donation of SOC
volumes of books to the public library
of this city. Young's Park at the head
of Marguerite Boulevard is also dona.
ton from the same gentleman. Thi.
Is not all. Three years ago when Mr..
and Mrs. Young spent two weeks 81
pleasantly in Dickinson. they made ar
absolute donation of $500 to the Com.
mercial Club to be used in some form
of advertising that would be- for thu
advancement of Dickinson and Starl
county. The money is on time deposit
at one of the local banks and while
nearly $10O of the fund has been ex.
pended to date, the interest has nearly
kept the original amount in tact.

county, had busy day on Monday at
his Office in Medora in taking testimony
in the Oscar Gram vs.. Sylvester Snead
homestead contest. The land involved
is near DeMores just west of the Little
Missouri river and is considered quite a
valuable tract.
Sylvester Snead is single man and
of late has been more or less at Yates.
He filed on the quarter in question on
October 4, 1909. and on April, 1911. he
secured a leave of absence from the
Dickinson u. S. land Uffice for period
of one year. About a year ago Snead
was taken to the Stein hospital where
he underwent an operation for sppendi-
citis.

of a house.. Defendant also claims that

FllckERTAILs vs. HIGHS
PLAYED MATCHED GAME

football weather, but only few OF the
most enthusiastic rooters braved the
chilly atmosphere to see the game be-
tween the Flickertails and the Hiah
School. which resulted in neither team
scoring.
The. Highs won the toss. and because
of the wind chose the west goal. STAN
ton kicked to the Highs 15-yd. line.
Nichols returned it to the 45-yd. line.
The Flickertails held for downs, and
the Highs lost the ball on their 20-yd.
line. Kittleson tried forward pass.
Lundy carried the ball over the line.
and many thought the Flickertails had
scored, but the pay was off side and did
not count. The Highs held them for
downs, and in trying an end run, Willie
McCutchan was injured so that he had
to be taken from the field. Harold Hahn
took his place. Time was called with
the ball in the Flickertail territory.
The second quarter opened with swift
PLAYING on the part of the Highs and
by line smashing and end runs they car
ried the ball to within one yard of the
goal. Nichols made the gains in line
smashing and Springer and McCutchan
in end runs. Then the Flickertails
awakened to the position and held the
Highs for downs. when Stanton made a
good punt to their 45-yd. line. Nc
Cutchan advanced it yards. The
Flickertails reeained the ball OH their
own 40-yd. line. and again tried for
ward pass, Lundy was interfered with in
catching the ball, Wilson recovered it
on tumble and carried it. nd the
r end over the line. Interference is
not allowed in forward passes. so this
play did not count. The Flickertails
were fouled and penalized is yards.
The Highs held for downs, Nichols made
good punt, and the first half closed
with the ball in possession of the Highs
on the Flickertail's 35-yd. line.
The third quarter reminded one of old
time football. 1t was characterized by
tandem plays ON the part of the Flicker
tails, whose heavy line the Highs were
unable to break and they advanced
steadily and surely toward the. Highs
GOAL; Nichols showed his ingenuity by
discoyerine that these plays could be
stopped by falling on the ground be-
tween the guard and center. During this
quarter the Highs were penalized five
yards for off-side play. Stanton then
punted, the ball was fumbled, but re-
covered by Springer. and by end runs
advanced to the Flickertail IS yard line.
1t was in possession of the Flickertails
when time was called.
In the fourth quarter there were tan
dem plays. line smashing, and few
punts The game ended with the ball
on the Highs As yard line.
Throughout the game the absence ol
Roquette and Richards in the back-field
was felt, and this with the loss of Nc
Cutchan early in the game, perhaps &C.
counted for the Highs not scoring.
However next Saturday at Mandan.
with Roquette and Richards in back
field, Springer at left end. and Soules
al tackle, the Highs will have the best
line up they have had this year, and
ought to make good showing.

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD 4
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe, they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrccts constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
I had my way would prohibit the sale
of ne-tenths of the cathartlcs that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach.
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and 10 paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are q tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invieorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel. no
dope; they ore soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
