North Dakota is being reckoned with
as one of the few states that can be

Week, will try to point out to the peo-
pie Of other states the splendid advan.
tages open here-and the praises of
North Dakota will be cried up and down
the highways and by.ways of the world.
Appreciation Week will be observed
in many ways:
The week of state effort will be opened
on Sunday, January Goth, with the eA-
| pec,atlon that MINISTERS OF the gospel
Throughout the state will use ApprecIa-
ton Week as their theme in sermons
and services.
Commercial clubs, civic organizations
of all kinds, will hold booster meetings
throughout the week, preferably on
Thursday, January 25th, when the hum
BILE baked potato will be used as the
principal and exalted part of the dinner
menu. and every energy will be devoted
to putting forward the states interest.
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 OAK
ota's phenomenal progress, its resources
and opportunities to the homeseeker.
| 1t is safe to say that upwards of 300
newspapers in the state will coperate
with the committee IN the matter of
these, special editions. and the circula.
ZION for that week may reach 100000
copies. Surely great ana glorious way
to advertise the state.
| On Friday afternoon it is planned to
haye all the schools in the state hold
| Appreciation Week. exercise, and the
school children will write essays about
North Dakota. Last year over $1,000
essays were written by the children, and
it is hoped that thus year over 100000
essays will be written. Another excel.
lent way to..teach the children state pat,
riotlsm.
Prominent men from all over the state
are lnte rested in this statewide move
ment. It will be a great week for North
iiDakota-and the dividends accruing
from the effort put forth by the citizens
of the state doubtless will be manifold.
