Large Crowd Expected.

BY converting the Great Northern
Depot into a lobby of a hotel and park
ing ten sleepers at the platform, the
Helena Commercial Club has solved
the problem of taking care of the state
fair crowds during the big week of the
state fair from September 21 to 26.
This will make in reality a hotel on
wheels. where the guests will have all
the privileges of Pullman accommoda.
tons at a reasonable charge. In ad-
dition to this the commercial club will
maintain rooming and free informa-
ton bureau.
Here visitors will be directed to
their rooms and may have their be-
lOngings checked free of charge.
Tagged representatives will meet
trains or board them near II elena and
direct newcomers to any place in the
city. Helena is preparing for state
fair week in commendable fashion;
the present improvements that are 60
ing on in the city will all be finished
in due time and hotel and rooming
accommodations will be far better
than in 1913 when everyone who came
to the capitol city were we'll taken care

Communication.

TO Superintendent, Principals, and
Teachers:
Honorable =. =. Claxton, Commits
sioner of Education, has called my
attention to the fact that the Star
Spangled Banner, which is now our
National hymn, was written on Sep
TENDER IA, 1914, and suggests that a
very fitting way of celebrating the
centennial anniversary of this event
would be to have this hymn sung in
all schools, public and private, at noon
on September IA, Of this year.
! think this suggestion very good
one and ! therefore recommend that
all teachers of this state make prepar-
ltions for celebrating this event in
the manner suggested above.
L hope the newspapers of the state
will be willing to print the words, and
if possible, the music of the hymn
some days before the 14th, so that all
teachers and children will have copies
of it.
Very truly yours,
II. A. DAvEE,
superintendent of Public Instruction.
