LET NORTH DAKOTA
DOLLARS BUILD
NORTH DAKOTA
Bulletin No. / Issued for Use
of Clubs in State
Federation.

Let North Dakota dollars build
North Dakota.
This is the slogan under which the
North Dakota Federation of CONNER
cial clubs will work for the upbuild-
ing of this state.
tary H. N. johnson have just issued
the first number of the federation
bulletin which will be sent to the
various clubs in the state organiza-
ton for distribution. Among other
things the first bulletin says:
The safest and best place that can
be found for a North Dakota man
to invest his North Dakota money is
in North Dakota. We North Dako-
tans know conditions here. We know
the land, and what it will produce.
know North Dakota values. We do
not know values in distant lands. In
vestments that we might make in
other parts Of the country r full Of
risk to us. Our OWN investments, made
at home. are safe and sure.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been e n out of North Dakota
and invested in distant localities,
which the investor knows little about.
Demand creates values. Here are the
official 1910 census figures Of a few
states showing percentages Of growth
during the preceding decennial period:
Florida increased 42.4 per cent; Texas,
27.S e cent; Montana. 54.5 per
cent; Oregon, 62.7 per cent; Califor-
mia, 6O.1 per cent: North Dakota,
sos per cent. Evidently North Da-
kota is growing more rapidly than
other communities into which our in.
vestment money has gone, and rapid
growth means rapid increase in value
North Dakotans. because of h fact
that they are prosperous due to thei,
North Dakota investments, are con.
lstantly importuned by statesmen fo,
all kinds of so-called "investmen
propositions" which range from land
located in various states and coun.
ing stocks. wild cat industrial stocks
oil stocks, and many other "get rich
quick" propositions. Hundreds OF
Thousands Of dollars are lost to oul
people every year through these chan.
nels, which. If invested here at home
would be saved to- our state.
We believe that North Dakota mon.
ey should be invested in North Dakota
that North Dakota men should boos;
to the interest of all Of us that his
should be done. Occasionally there
may be a good investment that might
be made aside from this. but these
cases are few and far between. Your
local club will be glad to cooperate
with you in investigating any PROPOSE
tons that are presented to you. When
a salesman calls upon you. if you dc
not know Of his proposition. refer him
to your local club, and it will investi.
gate the matter thoroughly, and If the
proposition is a good one. will so re-
port to you
Let us all join in a movement to
keep North Dakota dollars in North
Dakota, for the upbuilding of our own
community and state.

PROBLEM FOR FAIR

Can Stepchildren be Included

ty" Offer.

Can d father ring in his step chill
dren to make up the necessary ''eight

Forks fair tickets?
It's up to the lawyers of Grand
Forks to determine whether or not
the fair association is liable in q case
of that kind. 1t hasn't been put up
to the fair association in exactly that
form, but it has been submitted by
the mother of the children-they are
all hers-whe wants to know if she
can't be included in the free offer of
the fair association to parents OF

the matter, Il have the eight chill

SO Informed the mother of the big
family, n there is one Grand
Forks county household that is
anxiously awaiting developments.
Several attorneys of the city. to
whom the proposition was submitted
by a Times reporter today. differed in
their opinions. One said:
at would depend entirely upon the
exact wording in which the fair as
sociation's offer has been made. If
the offer of the free tickets is made
to the father as the parent of eight
children. it would be my opinion that
the mother has no claim on the as
ISOLATION in a situation of this nature.
ION the other hand I can plainly
see where the offer might be so con
strued as to admit this particular
family"
From almost every part of the
county have ON inquiries for full
details as to the offer that has been
made by the association of free tick
cts to the big families of eight under
90" as the feature has become popu-
lf.rly known.
Surely the most ardent big family
booster in the county would have
nothing to want in this county" said
one of the fair officers this mornins.
IT am beginning to think that there's
quarter section. the way the inquiries
and claims for the passes are COM
ing in.
and the big families are not con
fined to the rural districts alone. for
there are a lot Of the big ones right
here in the city, and several have
rome to light already. We expect to
do a land office family business this
year. and are seriously considering
the proposition OF setting aside an
'anti-race suicide day"
