PLANS MADE
FOR APRIL 9Th
If Peace Conference is Sign
ed Soon Double Celebra-
ton May be. Held.

%. ~. .T . IH"Fta r NM, rlE NV
No arrangements have been made
here for a celebration Of the second
anniversary OF Americas declaration
Of war against the German empire.
April 6, but it is probable that . patri-
otto peace and victory demonstration
may be- held on. the anniversary date
II the peace treaty. as was fore
Swallowed in dispatches from Paris
this morning, is signed before the end
of March. Is
It will be recalled that last year
elaborate preparations were made for
a Win the War celebration which was
held April 6 in spite Of Indictment
weather: women, men and children
braved rain and storm in order to
march in one Of the most impressive
parades ever seen here.
Members of last years various
committees today said that they had
heard nothing about any plans for
double celebration could be held, it
would not be necessary to prepare it
many weeks in advance.
f. Some business men interviewed to-
day were of the opinion hat no cele-
bration should be arranged in COM
m~emoration of the war declaration,
but tina it would be perfectly appro-
pirate to stage one of the greatest
community demonstrations in the
northwest when the word that peace
has finally come, is flashed from the
French capital.
Already plans are under way for
a big Fourth Of July celebration, but
this is intended to be more of a well
coming-home affair, to the soldiers
and sailors than an actual peace and
victory celebration.

world wide reputation as an explorer
and discove-er. He has won recogni-
ton and praise from such men as
Cyrus c. Adams, at one time presi-
dent of the Association Of American
Geographers; Rear Admiral Robert
f. Peary and Theodore Roosevelt.
When Mr.. Stefansson appears in
the Grand Forks auditorium on Fri
day he will lecture on his achieve
ments during the five years which he
spent in the Arctic region and the
public is assured of an inspiring ac-
count of an almost superhuman eff
fort on the part of Stefansson and his
little band in the bleak northern
country, a story which will have an
appeal for both children and adults.
On Thursday evening. March 13,
Mr.. Stefansson will relate his ad-
ventures before a Winnipeg audience.
Elaborate preparations are being
made in that city for the reception OF
the famed explorer. who is a native of
Canada. During his stay there he will
be the guest Of Sir James Atkins. gov
mt of Manitoba. He will arrive in
G and Forks Friday noon and will
leave the city the following morning.
The lecture will begin promptly al
$3.50 o'clock in the city auditorium
and special arrangements have been
made 50 that university students will
be able to hear the lecture.

PROSPECTS
ARE BETTER
Uncertainty in Local Build
ing Field Clears Away,
Dealers Here Say.

The uncertainty which has pre-
vailed in the building field has now
cleared up, in the opinion of local
contractors. lumber dealers and archi-
tects.
1t has been the uncertainty of COM
pleting a piece Of work on schedule
time which has in the past deferred
many men from starting building
operations. dealers declare. They
point out that in the near future ma
terials that were out Of the market
will be procurable. Il n
In considering building throughout
the state, 1t is noted that the public's
education in the matter of bonds,
which was brought about by the var
ious loan drives. will make it easier
for building projects to be financed
by bond issues.
Conditions in the building trades
throughout the United States are an.
alyzed editorially in the current issue
OF the Building Age as follows:
uation is improving. There is still
considerable pessimism. but in the
main building departments Of the a
ious cities throughout the country
look e~xpectantly forward to constant.
~ improving conditions.
Country and suburban towns will
probably feel the stimulus sooner and
to a greater extent than will the biz
cities. This is due to the fact thai
the housing shortage is acute in all
sections Of the country, perhaps the
greatest shortage being residences
Naturally building will resume first
in the direction where exists the
greatest shortage that is dwellings,

he briefly outlined the scope of his
activities with the, "Y" overseas. He
has been in Europe nearly a year,
and ten months of that time has 9
spent in the front lines in France
under fire.. He was in the advance
lines during the battles of the Marine,

his left arm he wears the divisional
division, as it is more popularity
called; the insignia which bears a
gold Statue of Liberty on a blue
ground.
In speaking of the subject which
he has chosen for his address this
evening, Mr.. Hiner said that it was
his aim to present actual facts and
figures, as cleaned from his ten
months experience in Y work over
seas. He Intends to treat his subject
in respect to the work of ALT depart
ments active on the battle front and
rear lines, namely: the canteen serv-
ice, the hospital service, the religious
and educational work among the boys
and the service Of the organization
in the front lines during active en-
gage-.ents.
Mr.. Hiner spoke. with especial pride
Of the valor and conduct Of the men
! and officers of the American expedi.
tionary forces while on duty on the
battle lines: and of the noble work of
all the var service organizations in
the battle areas, especially the work
