Appreciation Week as
Means Of Drawing New
Settlers Well Endorsed

Of the dinner menu, and every energy
will be devoted to putting forward the
states interests.
Probably the most striking plan for
| the week is that of publishing special
newspaper editions. Every newspaper
in the state has been asked to issue
special editions during the week. and
these papers will be spread far and
wide. They will carry the story of
North Dakota's phenomenal progress,
its resources and opportunities to the
homeseeker.
1t is safe to say that upwards. of
300 newspapers in the state will CO.
operate with the committee in the
matter of these special editions, and
reach 100000 copies. Surely a great
and glorious way to advertise the
state.
On Friday afternoon it is planned to
have all the schools in the state hold
Appreciation Week exercises, and the
school children will write essays about
North Dakota. Last year over $4,000
essays were written by the children,
and it is hoped that this year over
100000 essays will be written. An
other excellent way to teach the chill
dren state patriotism.
Prominent men from all over the
state are interested in this state wide
movement. 1t will be great week
for North Dakota-and the dividends
accruing from the effort put forth by
the citizens of the state doubtless will
be manifold.
The following executive committee
has charge of the Week this year:
r. J. Hughes, Wahpeton.
D. r. Carlson, Towner.
NJ. I. Forkner, Langdon.
w. H Brown, Grand Forks.
J. F. T. O'Connor, Grand Forks.
f. L. Richter. Larimore.
VIM. H. Greenleaf. University.
Will E. HoIbein, Minot.
c. w. Graves, Grand Forks.
The committee needs contributions
of money from the public spirited peo-
pie of the state in order to carry the
work to a grand finish. and all those
who wish to contribute can send tSseir
money either to c. w. Graves,
treasurer, Grand Forks, or Will E.
Holbein, secretary. Minot. CONNER
cial clubs and real estate men are
especially urged to assist in a finan-
cial way.

stroyed the construction shack near the

last week. ht&
Otto Knosbe, who was also severely
burned, is still in the hospital and may
recover.
1t appears that Cobb arose early in
the morning and attempted to hurry up
the fire in the heating stove with gaso-
line. The result was an explosion and
before the two men could make their
escape both were badly burned, Cobb
about the face, hands and lower part
of his body, and Knosbe about his face
and hands.
The injured and half frozen men ran
to James Wick'ss house, about block
