AMERICAN WAR MOTHERS.

A national and patriotic organiza-
tion known as the American War
Mothers" was organized in 1ndianapo-
lis, Ind, August 16, 1918 with Mrs.
Alice M. French at its head.
The object Of this organization is
to unite into a sisterhood the mothers
of sons and daughters who have been
in the service Of the United States
during the war with Germany
u On January 14th, 1919, the National
War Mother, Mrs. French Of Indian
.apolis appointed Mrs. Marion Reese,
Of Devils Lake state War Mother for
North Dakota; and on February 14th,
1919 chapter was organized at Dew
lis Lake and incorporated under the
state laws Of North Dakota !, which or
ganization has already received their
national and state charters.
The National American War Moth
ers" is for mothers only and so far
this is the only national and patriotic
organization for mothers which can
issue national charter. There are
organizations which admit wives, sis
ters, daughters and mothers but they
are not the National American War
Mothers.
Local chapters may be organized in
any community Of this state which can
show q membership Of not less than
fifteen. Blanks and full information
for the organization Of local chapters
may, be had by addressing Mrs. Mar

Hail Insurance From Canada.
The new North Dakota state hail in
s,lrance law is an adaptation Of the
Canadian law, which provides rev.
fenues by a flat acreage tax, with an
additional optional feature, which al
lows landowners to carry their own
risks, if they like, after paying the
preliminary acreage tax. -
The consolidation of all state edu-
cational institutionals under one head,
one Of the most bitterly fought bills
IN the League program, is in success
ful operation under substantially the
same form in Kansas and in slightly
different form in number of other
states. One provision of this bill
which caused much under-cover oppo-
sition was the clause which called for
an Investigation of the cost of state
and private publication textbooks.
The school book trust hated to see
this act passed because this investiga-
tion was provided. Kansas and Cali
fornia both publish their own text
books at big saving from the prices
charged by the trust. North Dakota
may do it also, if the investigation
shows it to be feasible.
The reduction of the state tax COM
mission from three members to; one
member also was fought bitterly.
Washington and other progressive
states have reduced their tax commits
sions from three members to one and
have found that the change has meant
both economy and efficiency.
e. Soldier Aid New.
+ There is just one measure on the
whole North Dakota program that is
brand new. That is the soldiers re-
lief bill, giving each North Dakota
boy who was in service during the
war SIS for each month that he spent
with the colors, the money to be used
as first payment Oh home or in con-
tinuing the; soldiers education. Since
that bill was passed the United States
government has tardily fallen into
line with q much less scientific bill,
which gives $50 to each soldier with
out regard to how long he was in
service. Other states may also be
shamed into doing something for their
returned soldiers.
This one Bill may be regarded as
something Of an experiment. But
North Dakota is willing to have it's
record in behalf Of the soldiers COM
pared with what any other state has
done-Or has failed to do.
