Frost the Mouthpiece. The former consul, tall, slight, al- most boyish looking, yesterday formed a mouthpiece for the United States government as for more than two years he acted as a receiving and recording instrument for the govern- ment at Queenstown.

The asylum is the first of its kind established’ in the northwest. Travel- ers’ a8‘a class‘ are a provident, well- paid people, and there are few among them, state officers of the order, who do not find opportunity to make aw ple provision tor the fume. shere are, however, state the U.

Frazier this after- | Hoon issued.a proclamation calling up- lon the people of ‘North Dakota to sup- Port a campaign to be waged inthe state to raise the commonwealth’s share of a- million-dollar fund which will be used to establish libraries for soldiers and sailors. The matter was brought to the governor’s attention yesterday in a wire from Frank P. Hill of Washington, and the govern- or at once replied expressing his read- iness to co-operate. , The American Library association’s war council, with the co-operation of the war department, the Red Cross and other agencies, has beea en- gaged for some time in a campaign for literature-to supply library shelves in camp and cantonment and funds with which to care for necessary ex- pense. Mrs. Minnie C. Budlong, sécre- tary of the North Dakota public li- brary commission, is chairman of the library war council in this state, and reports excellent res%its to date. The big drive in North Dakota will be made the last week in September. A national worker of the American’ Li- brary associdtion now is in the north- west and ‘is expected in North Dakota in the ‘néar future. SOUTHERN CAMP FOR TWO GU.RD UNTS (Continued from Page One.) promotions made troops are concentrated. Among the officers whose commissions are held up is Judge J:.M. Hanley of Mandan, who first declined a majority in the Sécond and. later decided to accept. This decjsion came after the Second had been mustered into federal ser- vice, and his appointment, which must come from the president, has not been announced. Seven conipanies are lacking captains, and. there are fourteen lieutenancies to’ be: filled. The Second is mustering in new re- crnits fegularly. A majority of these are men of draft age who have not'yet been called by their local boards. The reginient ‘ffow numbers approximately 1.470 enlisted men, while its war strength will be 2,002 enlisted men. All except the new recruits have been provided with clothing, and the regi- ment is in shape to moye at any time. Look over Bryant’s $22.50 Siits. $22.50.

ONE ON SEPTEMBER DOCKET The September term of the Bur- leigh county district court opened thi» morning, with no important criminal eases and only a few civil cases of any note on the calendar. No jury has been called for the term, which promises to be brief and rather-unin- teresting. The one case of statewide importance is that ef Deputy Game Warden William Reko vs. George M.

Hammock Product of Indian. , There is no doubt that the hammock 1s a product of the American Indian, It has never been found among the In dians of North America, showeyer, but is common in the West Indies and ‘in the tropical coyntries of South Amer ica, The earliest reference to the hammock, as far as we know, {s found in Cotumbus’ narrative of his first voy age,' where, after his landing at San Salvador, he speaks of the natives thus: “A great many Indians in canoes came to the ship today for the purpose of bartering their cotton and hamacus or nets in which they sept.” ese Indians, the first’ discovered’ by ‘olumbus, were Ardwaks, and the word “hanimock” comes direct from the language of that tribe. Heavy Picture Frames Passing. Picture-framing in Great Britain has undergone many transformations in reeent years. The building uf smaller houses made obsolete the fashion of heavy frames which were the pride of Victorian dining rooms. There are pat- terns of the Charles II, and: the Louis periods whicly by their merit ‘in de- sign have escaped destruction, and have served as Wytels for frames made out of “compésition.” Old frames of baser design have been birned that gold ‘in the old gilding might be sal- vaged.

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE Des Moines, Iowa Division of Mails--B. Publisher, The ‘ Tribune,” Bismare , N. Dak. Referring to previous information given you regardin® mail for drafted men at Camp Dodge, Iowa, I wish to stai» that the Post Office and War Department have arranged to have a!l mail that is not addressed to Comoany and Regiment turned over tothe military forces to supply the Company and Regiment, it is then turned back to the Post Office Department for distribution. As these letters are very numerous, it means a delay to letters, that are not properly addressed. Will you kindly publish the following as an item of news. ‘ Each man is assigned directly to his company and regi- ment immediately upon his arrival af Camp Dodge and when notifying his correspondents of his safe arrival, he ean furnish them with his preper address which would be the Company and Regiment, and then all mail addressed to him, showing Company and Regiment, would go directly to him without any delay. If correspondents would wait to secure. proper address be- fore writing to the selected man-it will relieve the Post Office and War Department this extra handling, avoid the necessary delay of supplying address which takes a great deal of time ang letters will reach addressee promptly.
