Camp for the summer of 1922 is
published for the information and
guidance of all concerned:
These headquarters have been
placed in charge of the procure
ment of students and instructors
for the camp to be held at Fort
Smelling, Minnesota from August
lst to both 1922. All students
from MINNESOTA, Iowa and North
Dakota will attend that camp. AL
communications concerning t h i $
matter should be addressed to
these headquarters.
The number of students who
may be accepted is altogether de-
pendent upon the appropriation to
be made by congress, but it is very
desirable that a large number of
men apply as the number of men
applying will have great weight in
securing adequate appropriations for
future camps.
The men who are accepted for
training at Fort Smelling will be
selected by the Corps Area Com
mander upon recommendations OF
the Chief of Staff of this division
Corps Area Headquarters is com
municating direct with men who
applied last year but who could not
fbe accepted due to the lack OF
sufficient appropriations. These men
will receive preferential treatment
| Red, White and Blue courses will
be given this summer for Infantry
Cavalry and Field Artillery students
the training program for each is as
follows:
Age limits for the various courses
are as follows: Red II to 25
years, White Ii to 26 years and
Blue 19 to q years, provided how,
ever that men who successfully
completed the red course last year
cannot be barred from camp this
year on account of age and further
provided that service men and es-
pecially World War men may be
accepted up to 35 years of age.
The recruiting period will end
May 81, 1922. During June in.
EQUATIONS will be made of all men
who have been tentatively accepted
for the training and those men will
later be informed of their definite
acceptance. Men whose vaccina.
ton and incubation have not been
completed can be accepted only
Tentatively.

ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR ELY BOYS.
FREE CITIZE MILITARY
TRAINING CAMP FOR
MONTH OF AUGUST.

The boys of Ely will again have
a chance this summer to take ad-
vantage of the Citizens Military
Training Camp to be held at Fort
Smelling between August 1st and
August 3Oth at the expense of the
government.
Last year the range quota OF
young men for the camp was filled
early. Lawrence Moonan from here
was in attendance and says the
training and environments at the
camp were worth every young
mans effort to attend. The time
during August after the close of
school and after vacation, appeals
strongly to the young man. 1t is
also probable that many young men
will be out of work this summer
and this camp will give them a
chance TO get in a month of first
class training, all expenses paid by
Uncle Sam.
Those of our boys who wish to
enroll will do so at once as it is
understood all applications must be
in by May 80. DR.. Ayres has ex-
animation blanks to be filed and it
is hoped a goodly list from here
may decide to take advantage of
the opportunity offered.
The purposes are TO teach each
student:
First How to serve his country
in peace and war.
Second-How to take care of his
body, build up his health and live
a happy vigorous life.
Third Habits of self-control, re-
sourcefulness,s self reliance, and
other elements of a manly char
acter.
Fourth discipline, precision and
a sense of order.
Fifth:-Cooperation and team
work.
The course for beginners, the Red
Course, is open to the proper kind
of young men from II to 25 years
of age.
The good character of every
young man who is selected to at
tend the camp must be vouched for
by one of the following: School
master, Clergyman, Priest, Rabbi,
Officer or Ex-Officer of the United
States Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
or Reserve Corps.
The student will be associated
only with young men of clean
and healthy bodies and minds.
The Government provides, food,
clothing medical attention, religious
services, travelling expenses, ath-
letics, and in fact everything to
make a valuable and enjoyable va
cation lasting one (D month for
as many suitable young men as can
be provided for by the appropria-
ton to be made by Congress.
The fact that young man
makes application for this camp
obligates him in no way to enlist
in the Regular Army, National
Guard or Organized Reserves. He is
obligated only to attend the camp
and do his best.

HEAVY TOURIST
TRAVEL SIGHTED.
TEN THOUSAND LAKES ASSOC.
IATION ANNOUNCES SPE-
CIAL RATES FOR TOUR
lists.

Tourist travel to Minnesota is ex-
pected to begin much earlier than
usual this season, and summer tour
ist railroad fares will be put into
effect May 18th, two weeks earlier
than usual, to accommodate travel
ers, according to announcement OF
the Ten Thousand Lakes of Mime
sofa Association. The special fare
and one-half rate will prevail from
May 18th to September 80, carry
ing stop-over privileges and return
limit up TO October 31st.
Inquiries that are being received
daily at the headquarters of the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Association indicate that the inter
est in fishing and in the lake re-
sorts will be unprecedented this
year More inquiries have been
answered than in any other pre-
vious season up to this time, and
resort keepers port their reserva-
tons are far in excess of the num-
Der usually on hand at this time OF
the year. Preparations are being
made for the largest season in the
history of the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association.
Minnesotans will be particularly
interested in a special weekend
railroad rate for trips from prin-
cipal railroad points to various lake
resorts. This rate will be on the
basis of one and one-tenth fare for
the round trip, or approximately
the old one-way fare with war tax.
This schedule of rates will go into
effect May 10Th and will continue
throughout the summer. Weekend
rate tickets may be purchased Fri
day and Saturday and will be non
ored on the return trip until mid
night of the following Monday. It
is believed this schedule will stim-
ulate intrastate travel during the
season, and VIII attract many more
thousands of city jewellers TO the
lake resorts in all parts of the
State.
Many new hotels and cottages
have been built throughout the State
and the communities are getting
their camping grounds in shape to
take care of the visitors. 1t is the
object of the Ten Thousand Lakes
of Minnesota Association TO make
the tourists visit TO Minnesota so
enjoyable that they not only will
come again but viii bring other
tourists with them.

secretaries of commercial organiza-
tons of the northern end Of Mime
sofa will meet at Hibbing on May
8. The meeting is called for the
exchange of views on matters OF

Duluth, from where automobile
tours to various points Of interest
would be made.
