Premier Crawford Vaughan Of South
Australia, Prof. Thomas Moran of
Purdue university and Major Graw,
lately returned from France, will be
here without fail for the conference
next week. Mr.. Scherer, who had
hoped to come, will be absent owing
to illness which prohibits his travel
ing. On the evening of February 26
it is probably that two great patriotic
banquets in honor of Bismarck's dis
tinguished visitors, and it's guests from
all parts of the state will be staged
at the Mckenzie and Grand Pacific
hotels. 1t is anticipated there will not
be less than 500 covers. oa

international Importance of this con-
ference said Secretary Hellstrom to-.

ored in being selected for visit from
Premier Crawford Vaughan, one of
Great Br:.ain's biggest statesmen. 1t
is impossible for the national defense
council to hold more than one of
these conferences in each state, and
we hope for full representation here
in Bismarck"

brary War Council, is sending an ur-
gent invitation to all County Chair

,'lr own in enthusiastic response to
government appeals for our soldiers
welfare. $'
