BILIOUS CHILDREN
BIack-Draught, Long in Successful Use, Praised by an Arkansas Mother, "Soon Does
 Its Work"

Marnaduke, Ark.-Speaking of Thedford's Black-Draught, which from long use in her household has become regarded as "the family medicine" Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route 1. this place, says
 When the children get bilious, ! give them a couple of good doses, and when we have sour stomach, headache, or any liver or stomach trouble, we use Black Draught. It is an easy laxa- tive, and soon does the work. l cer- tainly think 1t is one of the best rem edies made"
 Black Draught acts on the faded liver, gently, but positively, and helps it in it's important function of throw ing out waste materials and polsons from the system.
 In thousands of households Black Draught is kept handy for immediate use in time of need. Prompt treatment often is half the battle, and will often prevent slight ills from developing in- to serious troubles.
 It's well-established merit, during more than 70 years of successful use, should convince you of the helpful effects obtainable by taking Black Draught for liver and stomach dis orders. Get a package today, and keep it ia your house. See that the package bears the words, "Thedford's Black Draught." NC-141

FELICITY PLAYS BIG
 PART IN RELIEF WORK

 than the newspapers. The columns
 of the daily press are always open to
 tbe mission of relief for the suffering
 and their space is freely given and
 ciyen in a whole-hearted manner
 publicity-the one great factor in
 enHghtening the people on the needs
 of the devastated section around Blew
 inc was on it's mission of heralding
 to the world the dire results of the
 cyelone few hours after it hap
 nened. Miss Jean Hatley of the Ar
 kansas Gazette staff, who was visit
 ing her parents in Prescott at the time, rushed out to the scene of
 horror immediately after the storm passed by and worked until far into the night, getting first hand informa- ton as to the extent of the damage, the number of casualties and the vital needs of the stricken communi- ties. Miss Hatley then prepared her story on the run, telegraphed it to her paper so that it might come out in the following days edition. In her story she depicted in touching man. ner the crying needs of the populace and appealed at the same time for help, all kinds of help. On the heels of Miss Hatley's story was another by R. P. Hamby of this city, local correspondent for the Gazette, who also telegraphed his account to his paper that night. As no one person can see all there is to catastrophe of the magnitude of the one at Blev- ins, there were plenty of stories for two rapid pens and yet neither con tain a repetition. Mr. Hamby and Miss Hatley have rendered a valuable service to the cause of the sufferers in giving true and uncolored accounts of the conditions as they exist around Blevins, in keeping the out side world informed of the needs of the people.
 An example of efficiency in giving the news was seen in the story in Sundays Gazette which was accom- panied by an actual photograph of the devastation wrought at the Brooks farm few miles south of Blevins MT. Hamby went to the scene Satur- day morning and with his kodak snapped good picture of the Brooks home, showing how completely it was demolished, and coming back to Prescott he had Photographer Newth lo a quick stunt in developing and the snapshot and same was rushed to the Gazette on Missouri Pa cifc train No. 8 at 315 p. m. Some was also displayed by the Gazette, which printed the picture in Sundays paper, which goes to press a little after midnight.
 Such splendid work as the above is well deserving of commendation and only goes to show that publicity, the magic word of today, has taken it's

ANOTHER FIRE AT
The FIBRE PLANT

The fire department was called out
shortly before noon yesterday to an
swer a call to the Fibre plant where
another fire was threatening to de-
stroy the main plant.
The fire is believed to have been Of
an incendiary origin from the fact that
many of the large timbers that sup
port the roof were burned away and
when the fire department arrived they
found only smouldering fire in a pit
filled with chaff. There apparently
was large blaze at one time which
burned the large timbers and weak
ened the roof to some extent. 1t is
the belief of some that some one ac-
cidently started fire in the plant and
succeeded in getting it all out EXCEPT
the smouldering chaff, but this is only
general belief and the real origin
of the fire still remains a mystery.
Had this fire been given chance it
would have undoubtedly destroyed the
plant in very short time. The fire
department was aware of the fact that
the fire was smouldering in the pit and
took time enough to load on their long
hose with which they soon exiting guish-
ed the fire.. The fire is said to have
been discovered by a young man who
noticed the smoke in the plant as he
was coming by. J,
Il was lust little earlier in the
wear last year when the disastrous fire
burned the hemp and flax straw be-
longing to the fibre plant.

LOCAL GOLF CLUB

Joe Brophy, the local golf pro who
has been connected with the country
club for the past summer, severed his
connection with the club today and
will probably go to Grand Forks where
he will take part in the state open
match to be held there Saturday and
Sunday. From there he expects to go
to his home in Alexandria, Mimi,
where he will undoubtedly enter school
for the coming year.
While in the city Mr.. Brophy has
made many friends as well as taught
many Of our local men the we'll known
game.
Mr.. Brophy does not know as yet
whether he will return to the local
club next year, but it is hoped by this
many friends that he will. The Times
Record joins with many friends in
wishing Joe the best of luck in Grand
Forks.

LOCAL POLICE AR
REST TWO SUSPECTS

The local authorities yesterday
picked up two men in the little restau-
rant at the 500 whom they suspected
as being the two men who are wanted
for holdup at Medina. After q close
investigation the authorities are con-
vinced they are not the men. One OF
the men giving his name as A. T..
Reeder was toting big AS gat and
will undoubtedly be charged with car
rying concealed weapons.
A drag net has. been spread over a
number Of towns along the Northern
Pacific to apprehend the two men who
did the holding up at Medina Sunday
night. A full description Of the men
was sent out from Bismarck to many
points last Monday evening.
Albin Rudquist who was robbed Of
1866 said, "I haven't any kick COM
ing though, / didn't have any business
beating it, with $365 in my pocket" "
The other seven men robbed gave up a
total of $500 to the highway men.

Y M. c. A. NOTES

There is some talk among the older
boys Of Valley City about organizing
a Y. M. C. A. club Of the boys above
high school. This is very good idea
and should be carried out. The secre-
tary, Geo. B. Galley, is ready to give
the boys any assistance he can.. If
you are interested in this club, just
speak to him and he will set date
and place Of meeting.
The annual Father and Son events
this year will be held in November in
stead of February as before. This in
cludes the Father and Son Banquet
which should be bigger and better
than ever before. Watch for the date
which will be during the week Of Nov.
S to 2, and plan your work so as to
give that night to the boys, at least.
The first meeting after the summer
vacation of the Y. M. C. A. will be
held in the Congregational church par
lors Tuesday evening, Sept. 20, at
7:30. Let all the old members and
any others who wish to join be pres
ent. This is a meeting for all the boys
and any boy will be welcome. A lunch
will be served. Don't forget the place
and the date. .s..&>
The Y. M. C. A. groups at Wimble-
don, Leal, Sa4born, Litchville and
Nome will be having their regular ses-
sions this month after the vacation
+ the summer. Other groups will be
starting later.
Judging from the reports that come
70 us the Barnes County Y. M. c. A
IS doing its part with the boy life of
the county. Through hikes, over
sight camps and group meetings the
boys are getting something that is
making the men out of them we want
them to be. We should recognize this
as one Of the important forces in our
community for building up its citi-
zenship.

FORMER C. BOY
PASSES AWAY

The many friends Of Clifford Toll
stad, formerly Valley City boy, will
be sorry to learn of his untimely death
at St. Luke's hospital in Fargo yester-
day morning.
It seems Mr.. Tolstad was taken to
Fargo recently with an attack of the
flu and heart disease. His many
friends who visited with him during
the last, few days believed he was re-
and even the nurse to whom
a number of friends has talked, ex-
pressed her belief that Clifford would
be out of the hospital soon.
Mr.. Tolstad was formerly Valley
City boy having lived here for some
time and attended the Valley City
schools. He was young man who
was liked by everyone who knew him,
and possessed a fine disposition. For
the past few years he has been MAX
ing his home with his parents Mr.. and
Mrs. S. o. Tolstad on their farm near
Lcal. N. D. It is understood the fu-
neral will be held at Dazey, Tuesday.

SKULLSFOUND
IN INDIAN MOUND

An unusual discovery was made
within the last two or three days
when Leonard Evans and Thomas
Morrison, two transient harvest hands
became curious about some old
mounds in pasture near the farm
where they were working, and took a
spade and started digging in the
mounds. They uncovered, at a depth
of five or six feet, number of hu-
man skulls and fragments of bones.
At least seven skulls We're found, none
of them entire. Among the fragments
are several jaw bones, with teeth still
in them. The skulls were all. with one
exception, marked transversely with
what looks like red ochre paint in mar
row stripes. One skull is evidently
that of child, being small and the
bone very thin. No bones were found
other than the skulls. The men were
employed on the Ronzheimer farm,
northwest of Valley City, and they
brought the bones to Mr.. Dalton, the
local Red Cross man, who still has
them in his possession. The men re-
fused to give the exact location of the
saying that they expect to
dig more in hopes of uncovering bur-
led treasures; but some one saw them
digging, and certain of the neighbors
out there are sure that the men found
the skulls in what has long been
known as the Indian mounds. So far
as is known at present this is the first
time the mounds have been disturbed
since the country was settled. How
the bones got there, who painted them
and why, and whether the mounds will
yield anything else of interest are
questions that are as yet unanswered.
The find may lead to something of
archaeological Importance if anyone
who is Informed on that subject
makes investigation. The only hint
Of the identity of the dead was the
discovery of beautiful Indian arrow
head, suggesting that the skulls are
those of Indians. The skulls are quite
flat, indicating very low foreheads.
They are all in fair state of preser-
vation.

CITY SCHOOLS HAVE
LARGE ENROLMENT

The local high school has the larg-
est enrcllment this year of any prev
ious yeaS, according to Principal
Ward.
The enrollment is reported as fol-
lows: Freshman class, 80; Sophomore
class, 80; Juniors, So and the Seniors
SO. The officials at The high school
predict q total enrolment of over the
800 mark for this year. The boys were
out last evening for their first foot
ball practice and from the appearance
of the first line up Valley City will be
strong contenders for the state cham
p:onsaip. Valley High has always
ranked among the best in the state in
the line of athletics as we'll as in 9TH
er lines Of school work. With the ma
-terial on hand at the school at pres
ent and with what is coming later,
'Coach Goetzloe is confident of building
up championship team. Mr.. Goetz-
loe is known the whole state over for
his ability as football coach and the
local school is very fortunate in Sc
curing him for the year.
The High school this year is push
ing physical education further than
usual and has made it compul
sorry. This will make the physi-
cal education classes larger than US
ual and with the fine new gym they
will undoubtedly be handled in fine
shape. The regular classes have been
laid out so that the students have no
difficult in taking the SUBJECTS they
prefer without a conflict with two
classes.
The grade schools are also said to be
filled with a greater number than us
nal. The 500 mark being reached tGus
far with all indications Of moro COM
ing in later.
The junior high which is a new ad-
d;tion of a few years has thus far a
total enrolment of 1876, which is a
very good showing. From the present
indications the present school year will
have the largest enrolment for num-
Der of past years. The new high school
has helped to increase the enrolment
of the past few years as well as CIV
ing the students a larger building for
their work.
