Ser, given yesterday, in part fol-
lows
The II years in the history OF our
association, the period through which
we have just passed, has in many
respects been "a remarkable one-we
might say, a full one. AS time is
reckoned by the calendar, it has en-
braced IA months and IA days, our
last preceding annual convention
having been held in Little Rock on
March %, 1917 1t has also been
replete with events and happenings
Of more than passing interest.
Since we last sat in annual session
our country has been changed in at
titude and character from neutral
observer to a belligerent participant
in mighty struggle to suppress the
frenzied efforts of a mad autocrat to
gain world supremacy.
The winning of the war is and has
been our chief interest, aim and am
bition.
My suggestion to you men in tnIs
convention is that you fully inform
yourselves as to your cost of doing
business and install such a system
Of bookkeeping that will show same.
Lumber is playing large and i'm
portant part in the great shipbuiIdln5
plans. in the construction of canton
ments and in other government OPP
erations.
The war has brought about grea.
changes particularly in the labor an"
material shortage, with the conse
quent increase in the cost of building.
As result in some localities there
has been noticeable slackening OF
building, while in other places the
advance in building cost has been
offset by increased wealth brought
about by the exceptionally good
lprices for commodities and salaries
paid working men.
SO far, generally speaking, Arkan-
sas has Jared reasonably well.
AS an association we have gone
forward in the year and have en-
rolled II new members and reinstat-
ed three old ones The total mem
bership is 81, the largest since or
| ganizing
| ! suggest that the new officers and
board meet regularly at least twice
or possibly four times during the
| year, in order to work more effect
lively.

WON HIS FAME AT YPRES

The North Dakota Council of De.
fense today announced that it had pro.
cured Lieut.. J. r. Morton, of the .8th
Canadian battalion, unfondly known
by the Huns as The Little Black
Devils" as the principal speaker for
Bismarck's Lexington day meeting, to
be held Friday afternoon, following
a grea loyalty parade in which ev.
eryone in the capital city is expected
to participate. -. ~. ~
Lieut.. Morton, now touring the state
in the interests of the National Coun.
ell Of Defense and the Cana dian re.
cruiting service. is an interesting
speaker. His command, the Little
Black Devils, was almost complete
ly wiped out at Ypres. Morton kept
on fighting until few months ago,
when, he was ipvalided home. He
tells of the actual fighting over there,
what our boys are really going into,
and he tells it with native Irish wit
and realism which gets his story
across.
The Canadian has spoken at Man.
dan, Valley City and other points i'll
North Dakota to large audiences and
the North Dakota Council OF Defense
regards Bismarck as particularly for
tunate in obtaining his services for
the Lexington day celebration. If
the weather is fair Friday, the pro-
gram will be held on the commons,
north of the Auditorium. The exer.
cises will include community singing,
and nuSic nv tho bismarck ElkS' hand
and the On to Victory orchestra.
