also enable the department to be pre-
pared to answer Immediately any
question that may be raised in COM

pending legislative measure.
The bills listed among the con-
Eressional leftovers are of varied
character. many Of them being cor
rections of law to meet small claims,
hut some of them are of great i'm
portance, including the proposal to
adjust and redistribute personnel

Vertisement which this little city has
and should always be kept in shape
so as to attract people passing
through this section. Dead limbs
from trees should be taken up, trash
picked up, thus encouraging tourists
to do likewise. 1t is said that the
beautiful grove of oak just outside
the city of Elkins has been sold to
lumbermen and will be cut down.
This will leave the Belington Park as
