The opinion follows in part: “Jt is therefore our opinion that. It is the duty of the county to maintain, under the direction and supervision of the State Highway Commission, the state highways within such county, and to use for that purpose the Spe- cial Road Maintenance Fund of such county. Payments for this purpose must be made only on properly pre- pared vouchers, according to certifi- cates prepared by the secretary of ‘the State Highway Commission. All claims so presented, according to sych - certificates, must be fully paid /and satisfied before expending any part of such Special Road Maintenance Fund on other highways within the county, under the direction of the county commissioners. “In order to preserve such Special Road Maintenance Fund for the spe- cific purpose to which it must be devoted, and for which it was primar- ily intended, we believe that the State Highway Commission may properly river, that the grading was not con- tinuous west from Jim river” and that the “same condition of the grading existed between the Red River of the North west to the Jim riverj’ The er- ror, in the absence of the N.

U. S. A. Retired, St. Augustine, Fla. Editor Bismarck Tribune: My attention has been recalled to Judge Robinson’s Saturday Evening Letter, by a letter of the 7th, calling the attention of the Venerable Jurist to realization of the facts that all taxes were levied for specific pur- poses and our, good state and county boards of equalization have passed ried S.

Mr. State Employe, please figure on | this side of the state once. We must | first have taxes paid into the treas- ury of the state, before he can pay the salary and expenses of the state. The man who has been paying the ‘pulk of the taxes in North Dakota in the past two years has been receiving the least wages for his services, Let us all try and share an equal part in this game. We all are, in a measure, | our brother's keeper. The writer of this article has never | lost a pay day in 18 years. But this year he is sharing a 10 per cent re- duction with his company in his sal- ary for the first time in his life. Not! because he does less labor for his company, kut because the burden of! taxes of various kinds has born down upon all business to such unboundless | extent that all business has shrunk | jin volume 200 to 300 per cent.

Then rub Vicks in well until the skin is red. Spread on thickly and cover with hot flannel cloths, and arrange the bedding loosely so that the healing vapors will be inhaled all night. . The penetrative, and stimulative effect of Vicks thru the skin helps to relieve tightness and congestion. At thesametime,thevapors,inhaledwith each breath, carry the medication direct. to the lungs and air passages. Ideal Treatment for Children Mothers like to use Vicks for children. It avoids dosing and upsetting their stomachs, When the kiddies come in wet and “sniffling” Vicks is applied to prevent colds. It keeps A “Tar Heel” Discovery Twenty-five years ago, Druggist Lunsford Richardson, of Greensboro, North Carolina, - the ‘‘Tar Heel’ State, seeking a better way to’ treat colds, hit upon a wonderful formula. He combined Camphor, Menthol and certain volatile oils in the form of a salve, so that when applied to throat and chest, it not only penetrated and stimulated like a liniment, but the ingredients were re- leased’as vapors by the body heat and inhaled directly ‘into the affected air passages. This remedy, Vicks VapoRub, won instant local favor and its fame has spread, county by county, state by state, until now Vicks is a family standby from coast to coast. Best of Nature’s Remedies .Vicks contains valuable ingredients brought from distant countries—Camphor from For- fmosa, land of head-hunting savages; Menthol from picturesque Japan; Oil of Eucalyptus from far Australia; Oil of Juniper Tar from Bedouin haunts of Northern Africa; Oil of For Spasmodic Croup, Children’s Colds— Rub Vicks over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved, then spread on ‘thickly and cover with a hot flannel cloth. One application at bed time usually prevents a night attack of croup. - For Head Colds, Asthma, Catarrh, Hay Fever —Vicks should be melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled, or a little can be applied up the nostrilsand Snuffed up the head. For Deep Chest Colds, Sore Throat, Ton- silitis, Bronchitis, ‘Coughs—Vicks should be applied over the throat and chest—if neces- sary, first using hot, wet cloths to open the pores of the skin—then rubbed in well until the skin is red; spreadon thickly and covered with one or two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. If the cough is annoying, swallow small pieces the size of a pea. Used as a Liniment, Poultice or Plaster— On account of its penetrative and rubefacient effect, Vicks [has been found excellent. for Bites, Boils, Bruises, Frost bite, Muscular Soreness, Poison Ivy, Sunburn, Headache, Neuralgia and Sore Calloused Feet. . j — TRIAL TIN FREE Send this coupon to the Vick Chémical Com- pany, Greensboro, N.C.

STATEMENT OF CONDITION OF ‘NORTH DAKOTA STATE BANKS North Dakota’s 657 state banks and four trust companies had total re- sources of $123,772,650.39, December 31, 1921, according to the answers of: the call of the bank examiner of that date. The total deposits on that date were $85,488,657.97. This total of deposits is a decrease of'$8,244,612.20 from the report of three months preceding, or September 6, 1921. The report, as compared with that of December 29, 1920, shows a de- crease of 43 in the number of banks doing business in the state, the figures a year ago showing a total of 690. Most of the funds of the present call show a decrease from the figures of three months and a year ago. 657 State Banks, —Increase(I)and 4 Trust Companies —_ Decrease (D) Reporting on 1920 to Dee. 31, 1921 1, 1921 Better Than Pre-War Prices ; ee et ee eth Are In Effect On KARO rt q d vith the division of since 1876, ss miigzard reterrea tof Loans and discounts .$101,970,478,83 $14,154,400.00 D $3,921,994.45 D|the second and fifth grade classes two : 5 : happendd, 1 was teaching Sohool.
