ONCE UPON FEB. 18th

ONCE UPON FED. Itu
The Russian Academy of Scienc IS
failed to honor Dmitri Mendeleeff but
the list of honors conferred on him
by the rest of the world was greater
than the titles held by the czars, for
his work was recognized as chemis-
try's greatest contribution to science
in the 10th century
Mendeleeff was born 104 years ago
today in a Siberian village, youngest
in family of II children. He was
only 81 when he gave the world its
first periodic classification of the ele-
ments, in which he anticipated, named
and predicted the chemical character
istics of numerous elements that were
not to be discovered until years later
His classification proved systematic
harmony in all matter in nature, gave
chemists a foundation for the whole
framework of their research, started
physicians on new trails and fastened
the coming of X-rays, the electron
theory and the cosmic ray. It's cul-
tural contribution is compared to that
of Darwin, whose evolutionary theory
showed that even among living things
there is underlying progressive syste-
matte arrangement.
For Mendeleeffs work we can thank
his mother. With the burden of sup
porting the large family thrown upon
her by her husbands loss of his eye
sight, she intuitively singled out
Dmitri as the most gifted of her chill
dren, and managed to send him off to
a school in Petrograd She died, worn
out, before he was graduated with
honors, but he kept on rewarding her
faith. Three quarters of century
ago this year. when he was only 20,
he became professor of chemistry at
the Institute of Technology in Petro-
grad and began to take his place as
one of the immortals of science.

HOME FRUIT URGED

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. =
One of the weak points of the agri-

TODAY'S UOROSCOPE

Today's tendency is toward a SEN
tive, impressionable nature, but with
some leaning toward selfishness and
jealousy. Try to cultivate a freedom
of thought, that melancholy and hat
red of others may not gain an ascen-
dancy and thereby ruin the life. Love
of romance is strong in those born
today.

State Fire Marshall
Condemns Libby Buildings

Arthur {. Parsons, state fire
marshall, was in Libby the first of
the week ON a regular inspection
trip. He condemned number of
old, dilapidated buildings around
town and ordered their razing. He
also ruled that the present steel lad
der fire escapes On the Odd Fellows
hall and the Hotel Libby do not
comply with legal requirements and
he ordered that new escapes be built.
These are to be outside stairways,
with a landing for each story, with
door leading onto each landing.
Two such escapes were ordered for
the Odd Fellows hall, one for the
Hotel Libby and one for the Ma
sonic hall
While here the fire marshall con-
ferred with Fire Chief Hoffman
in regrad to the condition of places
of business. He plans to return
later to confer with the city council.
MFR. Parsons stated that cigarettes
lead in the causes OF fires; first,
fires in homes, and second, fires in
business houses.

spring.
Ed. Holiday, 1870 pounds, the pres
ent heavyweight champion of the
State University of Montana, has
consented to fight in the main bout
Holiday won the championship by a
technical knockout over Perry Stem
son of Kalispell. Ed is hard hit
ter and his timing is perfect.
Holidays opponent will be Geo
Gully, ITO pounds, golden gloves
champ, from Kentucky. Gully is
one of the fastest fighters | have
ever seen. Gully is like Holiday in
one respect and that is that he never
dissipates at any time. So for that
reason he is always in the best of
condition.
Five other bouts are lined up for
prelminaries. One will be Albert
johnson, 155 lbs, Libby, and Don
Aubrey, $50 lbs, Ohio
Johnson will turn professional af-
ter this fight. He will fight in Kali
ispell on February 27 as a profess
sional and If he wins that fight he
will get bout with the present
middleweight champion of the state.
Frank Baney and W. G. Seims

HELENA. - Profits of Montana's
1887 liquor monopoly reached an all
time peak in 1887. according to the

1888 Books Circulated by County
Library in l937-Libby Takes 1871

tai 5I,958. This does not include
the books sent to rural schools for
their use, or the books sent to in
dividuals in communities who pass
them around to their neighbors tc
read. Dividing the 81 1858 by the
county's population OF 7,088 we see
that just in the five places over
seven books were issued to every
person in the county. Over LOO
books were sent to 20 school rooms
for rural pupils to read.
Since depression days began in the
early 1905 there has been a de-
cided trend toward higher class
reading Of course person must
relax with his mystery detective,
western or love story but more and
more people are wanting to find
out about some place or thing That
Lincoln county is in line we find
by observing the circulation figures
that 26,392 or 50.8no of the books
lent were adult fiction, l0,474 or
20.7To were adult non-fiction, and
1879 or 1857 were juvenile. This
is quite a high non-fiction percent
age and shows well for the readers.
The books read in rural schools
would bring the children's number
much higher.
The cost of the library is nomi-
nal. being only SO cents per capita
for last year. Considering the con-
ver1itnce and benefit of having Ii.
brary available, the money is well
spent.

Sportsmen
Will Talk Over
important Matters

A meeting of the Libby Rod and
Gun club is called for Friday night,
Feb. 4, at 3 o'clock, in the COM
munity hall at the court house.
Many important game matters are
to come up for discussion, says r.
N. Russell, president of the club.
These are contemplated changes in
laws and in rules and regulations
governing game matters. After CIV
ing the various matters due consid-
Grafton, the Rod and Gun club plans
to submit its recommendations to
the state fish and game commission
for its consideration. Russell says
those interested should attend this
meeting, let their desires be known,
and thereafter abide by the vote of
the majority.
Matters ts.4fe discussed will be
proposed changes in the fishing
laws, such as bag limits, weight linn
its and permissible time during the
day; also length of season. These
meetings are being held upon the
recommendation of the state fish
and game commission.
Deputy Game Warden Darlington
has letter from the state fish
and game commission in which the
commission asks for the judgment
of local sportsmen on the following
proposed regulations.
mo fishing from $50 p. m. to 4
a. m.
Fishing season to be from May Il
to and including November 80 in
open waters.
''Creel limit to be Is fish per day
or an aggregate not to exceed Is
pounds per day"
The letter then says: We feel the
above changes are necessary to meet
existing low water conditions, and
we further know that same will be
for your benefit. Our present long
season and large creel limit is the
largest of any state in the United
States. The general average fishing
season is four and half months. 2
