Keniston, of Bismarck, vice pre: ident of the National Parks Highway and acting president, will preside at the meetings. A number of represent- atives from the Northwest will be present at the meeting. : One of the proposals to be discussed * at the meetings of the American Hotel and Tourist Association meeting on January 7 is that of tourist camps. A proposal will be made to furnish uni- form service at nominal cost, prevent ing abuse by local people and hoboes. Many ‘towns have found difficulties re- sulting from the establishment of too elaborate camp sites, it is said. The tourist association meeting will dis- cuss methods of-promoting travel by auto. The exdcutive committee meeting will be held on January 5. It will take up the matter of establishing loops, publicity and other problems. On January 6 there will be a gen- eral meeting. Each town through which the trail passes is entitled to a representative at this meeting. Re- ports will be made on condition of the road and recommendations made for changes of policy and affiliation with tourist agencies. It is proposed that the National Parks Highways Association shall employ a man regularly to travel over the highway, inspect highway, collect . funds and confer with county commis- sioners, FIRE FUND 0 BR DISBURSED 10 DEPARTMENTS , State Auditor Issues Circular Letter on the Subject to Fire Departments The state fund for fire-department: will be paid, according to Auditor D. C, Poindexter. This fund, created from a tax paid by insurance com- pauies which goes into the general fund and a similar amount: is appro- “priated by, the legislature, was cer tifled by the » fire marshal sev- eral, months ago for payment. The auditor's circular letter and explana- tion follow ; To the Secretaries of All Fire Departments: This office is just in receipt of an opinion handed down by the attorney general's department, advising that we could lawfully exceed the appropria- tion provided by the Sixteenth Leg: lative Assembly under Chapter 32 Session Laws of 1919. As stated in our circular letter of September 14, 1921, we could not pay the state aid due the various fire de- partments on June 1st, without creat- ing an overdraft in the fund amount- ing to $18,542.45. It is true that See- tion 3,993 to 3,998 of the Compiled Laws, of 1913 provides that two per cent of the receipts for insurance pol- icies issued within any city, town or ‘illage was to be paid to any fire de-| partment within such city, town or Willage who had complied with the above sections, but the attorney gen- eral’s office had on previous occasions declared that no sessions of the legis- lature had the right’or power to pass any law which would bind or restrict subsequent legislation. We therefore, assumed that the 16th Legislative As- sembly in making a specific appropri- dnnual meeting of the} Organized | | las possible, and it is expected that all cases will be distribute among the | fourteen district offices within the | Mext ninety days, | Mr. C. D. Hibbard, | ge ‘ed as to whether or not the files for ithe tenth dist: had arrived in Min- | neaolis, said: have not received | the files from Washington as yet, but !our information is, that they are ship- ping them from the central office as fast as is humanly possible, and we fare expecting to receive them within {a short time. We are, however, going ‘ahead with the decentralization plan } within the district, and after January 11, 1922, the sub-district offices will ‘handle all correspondence by appli- |cants with references to claims filed ‘with the bureau. Contact officers will be stationed at these offices to give prompt and courteous treatment to all persons applying.” The sub-district or local ‘offices within the tenth district are located at Duluth, St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota: Sioux Falls, South Dako- ta; Fargo, North Dakota, and Helena, Montana, Each of these offices repre- sents a certain territory, and it is, of course, important for the individyal interested to ascertain as to which of- district mana- the resides. This information can be | obtained from any of the Veterans’ or- ganizations or from the American Red Cross. . ¥ BSS eo Gone “NATIONAL SMILE WEEK” ENDORSED BY THE GOVERNOR “National Smile Week” proposed by the magazine of humor, Judge, is en- dorsed by Governor R. A. ‘Nestos. Ar advance statement of the “National Smile Week” received by The Trii- une, containing indorsements of many leading ‘men in the country, contains this from Governor Nestos: “To smile may not be all we have to do, but success will be much more certain when we do that which we have to do with a,smile. It makes ow heavy burdens lighter and dispels into thin air the scores of petty troubles which weigh down and curse so many a life. It mellows and blesses the life of the smiler and it radiates warmth’ and cheer to and inspires hope and courage in, all who come in contact with him. It is a splendid philosophy of life. Judge is rendering a réal ser- vice to humanity for by its Smile Week it will increase the disposition to meet life’s difficulties with a smil- ing face,”” . SEND OUT LETTERS, Ellendale, N.

The statements made by their parents are as follows: Mr. A. M. Blair, residing at 20 At wood street, Providence, 'R.

She had lost nearly 20 pounds in weig@t and looked so ‘frail and-weak that her mother and I were both almost wor- ried sick over her condition. Since taking Tanlac, she has already gained 10 pounds, her color \is better than it ever has been and she looks and acts like a different girl.” Mrs, Catherine McCabe, 414 Dick- i 1 bi DI Buy Waldorf Sodas Now in Useful, Attractive Red Tins ens Ave., Scranton, Pa. said: “The ‘flu’ left my little Regina in such a bad condition that I have no idea she | §!
