DETERMINED TO KEEP YOUNG

q. W. Lewis in Touston POST
| am glad vacations coming and Pm
glad it's nearly here,
Because the vacation time is the best
time in tire year;
Then is when fellow gets out, out
to run and fish and climb,
And have his dog along with him and
be glad all of the time,
And when fella's grown up he don't
like to run and play,
He thest gets so used to workin' he
don't want to go away,
He wants to sit in big chair right
by where his folks is at
And Pm glad that amt old and set
tied down to be like that.
| don't think | Gan ever be as old as
what they be,
When | see a nest, | reckon, / will al
ways climb tree,
And | II always skin the cat when
there's a low and straight-out
limb,
And all summer every day I'll want to
hike off for a swim;
| bet l will look plum funny with
gray whiskers climbin' trees,
And away out on the prairies with the
butterflies an bee,
But fella can't help whiskers-but
if he will run and climb
And keep happy, just betcha he can
keep young all the time.
50 Pm gein' to keep young by never
lettin' up at all;
can almost beat feldlark sendin'
out his evenin' call,
And the mockin' birds stop singin'
just to listen to me trill,
And | can fool anybody calm like
whippoorwill;
father tells me that he used to whis-
per just the same as me,
But he says his lips is sitter now
than what they used to be,
IND somehow he can't contrive it, so
his whistle has grown dumb;
lie says must be young for him, and |
he's glad vacations come.

GIVE THEM NOW

Zone has said; Do not keep the
albaster boxes of your love and ten
derness sealed up until your friends
are dead. Fill their lives with sweet
ness. Speak approving, cheering
words while thei rears can hear them,
and while their hearts can be thrilled
by them. The flowers you mean to
send for their collins, send to bright
en- and sweeten their homes before
they leave them. Let us learn to
anoint our friends beforehand for
their burial.)
If you have gentle words and looks,
my friends,
To spare for me-if yol have tears,
to shed,
That | have suffered-give them not,
pray,
Until l hear not, see not, being
dead.
If you have flowers to give-fair lily
buds,
White roses, daisies, meadow
stars that be
Mine own dear namesakes, let them
smile and make
The air, while yet | breathe it,
sweet for me.
For loving looks, though fraught with
tenderness,
Kindly tears, though they fall
thick and fast,
And words of praise, alas. can naught
avail,
To lift the shadows from a life
that's past.
And rarest blossoms, what can they
suffice,
Offered to one who can no longer
gaze
Upon their beauty! Flowers in collins
laid
Impart no sweetness to departed
days.

TRY 1T OUT

There are no birds in your last years
nests,
SO poets say,
And if you care to make some tests,
You surely may.
You may have grown a trife stout,
May portly be,
But if you try, you can, no doubt,
Shin up tree.
You needn't take a poets word
Or trust a book;
Just fly around like any bird
And have a look.

such letters as this are continually being
published. Every woman who suffers
from displacements, irregularities, in
fiammation, liberation, backache, ner-

Did you ever know a woman to
regret that she knew how to do ex-
quisitely fine needle work or plain
sewing, to bake light, wholesome
bread, or delicious pies or cakes?
Did you ever know one who was
ashamed of her skill in picking and
preserving, or who was unwilling to
admit that sh1 could ARA lge a table,
order course dinner, and if need
be, do her own cooking herself? No,
indeed, but many a woman has spent
years in trying to acquire the knowl-
edge of household affairs of which
she would have been mistress before
she was fairly in long dresses. The
mother who fails to instruct her
daughter in such branches defrauds
her of woman's best right, the right
to a knowledge of how TO make a
home. Perhaps only home for her
self, but, oh, how pretty and pleas
ant it can be if the tact, the skill,
the grace of a trained hand and eye
and taste are there to bring it into
perfect symmetry.

The American Indian, hy enlist.

scribing literally to the Liberty
loans. by increasing the produc-
tion Of food-stutfs on Indian lands
and by contributions to relief aeen-
cies, greatly aided tire United States
and the allies in winning the war,
Cato Sells, commissioner Of Indian
affairs, declared in his annual rc
port.
Mr.. Sells said that out Of 33,vUo
eligible for military duty, more than
$500 Indians entered the army,
1000 enlisted i'll the navy and 500
were in other war work.
Liberty bonds were bought, Com
missioner Sells said, until Indians
how hold the equivalent of one $50
bond for every man, woman or
child of their race in the nation.

Mrs. E. Teeter Applies
For Mothers Pension
Wife Of Selfridse Convict Makes Ap.
plieation for Mothers' Pension for
Support Of z Children

Mrs. Elmer Teeter of Selfridge,
whose husband is serving an inter.
mediate sentence in the penitent-
iary at Bismarck following his plea
of guilty to the charge Of stealing
flax, has made application to the
county court for a mothers pen
sion under the state law She has
two dependent children, one two
years, and one only four months
old. Under the mothers pension
law she will be entitled to $40 or
SIS per month from the county for
the support Of the children until
such time as the father is released
or the children grow up.
This is the first case of it's kind
in Sioux county. The law was
passed about four years ago, and
was contested by the commissioners
Of several counties. The supreme
court early in 1917, Justice Grace
writing the decision, upheld the
constitutionality of the law.

1000 Steer. In Spring
For Issue To Indians
1900 Steers Will be Issued to Stand.
ing Rock lndians on Re.imbursable
Plan During the Spring

Superintendent Kitch of the
Standing Rock reservation expects
to 90 to the southwest some time in
April to purchase 1900 head of one
year old steers TO be shipped here
and sold to the Indians on the re.
imbursable plan, which has proven
so successful in the past.
About 1000 head OF yearling
steers were purchased in Arizona
and Texas in the spring of 1916
and distributed among the Indians
in lots of ten. These animals were
marketed this fall and the average
net profit on each steer was over
$4,000.
OF the money distributed among
the Indians from the proceeds of
these steers this fall, over $4,000.
90 has heen re.deposited with Mr..
Kitch for the purchase of steers this
spring on their individual account.
Additional money available from
individual deposits may he suffi-
cient to purchase sou head addi-
tional.
While authority for the purchase
has not been received vet there is
no question but what it will be
granted. The money is taken from
the per cent Standing Rock Indi-
an fund and could not be used to
better advantage.
The big profits realized on the
last cattle bought on this plan has
been an inspiration to the Indians,
and is no doubt the begin
ming Of the re-establishing of
the once great herds owned
by the Standing Rock Sioux.

Election Contest Hearing Set
Selfridge will Pay all Costs Of the Contest
When Case is Decided Against it
and Reimburse County

There are no new developments
in the county seat removal contest
instituted by Selfridge against Fort
Yates. Miller, Zuger & Tillotson
Of Bismarck, the firm Of attorneys
retained by the county commission
ers to assist the states' attorney in
this case, have secured an extern
sion of 20 days,in which. to file an
answer to the complaint. This ex-
tension is in addition to the 10 days
statutory time allowed, and will
give the attorneys 30 days from the
time the complaint was filed to pre-
pare and serve the answer.
1t is not known when the case
will come up for hearing, and it is
possible that nothing will be done
until the regular spring term of
district court. If only a question
of law is argued the case may be
heard by one of the judges officiat-
ing in this district for Judge Han
ley at their court chambers, either
in Bismarck or Dickinson.
The selfridge Journal in this con-
nection makes an uncalled for and
misleading attack on Commission
ers Stiles and Leach for their ac-

the contest against Fort Yates.
The two county commissioners sim

Had the county convassing board
declared SelfridRe the winner of the
county ysseat, and contest had bees,
filed on behalf of Fort Yates, it
would have been the duty of the
commissioners to employ counsel to
defend the contention that Selfridge
had won the election.
But the taxpayers of the county
need have no fear that the costs
