Iowa is the leading state in the
union in the production of hogs and
corn. We are proud of it, especially
so because this material wealth fur
nishes the means with which to
bring the manhood and womanhood
of the state to it's best development.
We want to see our state regain the
proud position she once held as the
superior of any state in the union in
the excellence of her educational sys-
tenn; and we want to see Decatur
county the peer of any county in the
state in the provisions she makes for
the improvement and development
of her greatest resources, her boys
and her girls.
I Yours for a greater Decatur coun-
ty.

ty for confederation of such other

Upon. At least six weeks IN advance
of the date set for the convention the

q tpeeial circular giving Information
concerning the rates at hotels and
boarding houses, and instead OF each
delegate providing his own entertain
ment as has heretofore been the GUS
tom, the local association at Clncin-
Iati win make advance arrangements
at hotels and boarding houses for all
delegates who so desire.
In view of the unique Importance of
this convention, the boards OF direc.
tors and officers of the various asso-
ciations throughout North America
and Canada have been requested not
only to act early in the selection OF
dc legates, but to appoint men COM
potent to wisely represent their re-,
spectiye associations in the delihera-
tons of the conyen. ion. It is confid-
emily believed that the central loea-
tion of the convention city and the
widespread interest In the questions
which this gathering will be called
upon to decide, viii make the Cincin-
nati gathering the largest and most
significant meeting in the history Of
the North American associations.
Honolulu has been well represented
In the former international conyen-
lions. At the convention in Toronto.

as 4 delegate from the local associa,
ton and was elected as one Of the
Yice-prssidents, and in 1907 during the
convention at Washington, d. e. the
association was represented by Gov.
ernor Frear, who was accorded a pc.
sition of honor. II is the desire OF
the local association to have a larger
representation at the convention this
year than at any other former time.
At the time the convention is held
in Cincinnati this year, w. A. Bowen
win be In Ohio, and it is expected
that he will act as one of the dele
gates. 81
There are several important mat
tiers which the Honolulu association
would like to have brought UP at the
convention this year, one Of these be-
ing the need of army and navy as
ISOLATION work on the Island Of Oahu.
IT will also be good opportunity at
this time to further the projection for
making Honolulu q training center for
association secretaries in the Orient.
If this plan were adopted, Honolulu
would at all times lave group of
young college men in training Tor the
work of the association in other
fields.

change. it win be impossible for
many Of those In Honolulu who are
interested in the local association and
its work, and who had made plans to
attend the convention in Los Angeles,
to be present at the gathering at Gin

time required in making the trip.
The convention in Cincinnati will be
held May 1918.
No convention which has been here
tofore held has been called upon to
consider and act upon questions OF
such vital importance to the associa-

attention to the development Of
it's own territory found himself
sending out ads of foreign en-
%terprises glowingly set forth,
fake announcements of all
kinds, and invitations to spend
money in a score of enterprises
which were absolutely without
value. The man who tried to
keep the columns of his paper
clean found the matter supplied
to him reeking with filth in the
way of the most Objectionable
class of medical advertising.
All this was taken as a matter
of course, and publishers sub
mitted to it because it had not
occurred to them that any other
course was possible. The
character of the ready print
matter was supposed to be az
far beyond their control az the
weather or the shape of the
earth's orbit.
All this is being changed.
The country publisher of today
is arriving at the understand
ing that his columns-all of
of them-are his own. and that
it is for him to say what they
shall contain, and to receive
the revenues derived from their
use. The result of all this is
that we are getting a better
class of papers, and that the
publishers are occupying a
different position in their res
pective com munities than they
occupied years ago, Nothing
else has contributed 80 much
to this result as has the work
of the North Dakota Press
