MACINTOSH TO

President of Associated Adver.
tising Clubs Coming

In many instances, members of ad-
vertising clubs and others who are
working toward the ideal of absolute
ly truthful advertising have found
that untruth often grows out of the
fact that the advertiser does not know
how to, make the truth attractive-and
it is for the purpose Of helping to pro- :
mote the, broad educational plans of
the Associated Advertising Clubs that
Henry Macintosh, president Of the
association, will speak in Bismarck
tonight at 8 o'clock at American Le-
gion hall.
The experience of advertisers has
proved that only absolutely truthful
advertising pays, in the, long run. An
advertisement that is deceptive may
bring immediate business, but it will
not make permanent customer. The
purpose Of the educational work of
the advertising association is to make
advertising more interesting and more
helpful to the public, as we'll as more
profitable to the advertiser. The or
ganization is also doing extensive cd
ucational work among retail salespeo.

acres underlaid with ths very best
kind of Ignite coal. 1t will not be

the fact that we have real farmers

Dunn Center is situated in the cen

Bureau
CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
All Things Considered Outlook
Is Best in Years, Accord
ing to Report

Reports from all parts of the State
indicate weather and crop conditions
nearing the normal. Winter wheat and
rye came through the winter in gen.
orally good condition, and both crops
indicate good yields. Spring wheat
stooled heavily, due to wet soil, cloudy
weather and subnormal temperature.
Potato planting was unusually large
this year. so much so that many coun-
ty agents have advised against too
large individual paintings. Corn plant
ing is general throughout the State
with indications of more than the
usual acreage. Ranges and pastures
are excellent, affording abundant feed
for livestock. Present Indications point
to 9 large hay crop, both tame and
prairie.
The Weather Bureau Office at Bis
marck has tabulated data of tempera-
ture and rainfall for the present cal
endar year and has made comparisons
with the normal, as we'll as for the

BANK STOCK TAX
is RECOMMENDED
Grand Forks Board Adopts
Resolutions on Subject

Grand Forks, N. D., May 18.-A pro-
posed plan for the levying of state
tax on bank stocks the same as on
personal property was endorsed in a
resolution adopted by the Grand
Forks county commissioners. The
resolution was presented by the state
tax commissioner.
Since the declaring of this section
of the state tax laws as unconstitu.
tional, some two years ago, there has
been no means of levying tax on
bank stocks. Upon the change in the
state administration representatives of
the bankers met with the state tax
commissioner and members OF the
equalization board, and proposed So
luton of the matter was agreed upon
1t was proposed that the bank
stocks be assessed the same as per-
sonal property, in other words, on the
fifty per cent. basis. This proposal
was endorsed by the northeastern
group of the Moth Dakota Bankers
association at the annual meeting in
Larimore on April 20.
The proposed plan further provides
Z, that those who have paid the full 100
| per cent. on their bank stocks, will be
refunded 50 per cent if the proposition
! materializes.
The alternative of agreeing on the
matter would be to await the con-
vening of the, legislature. AS it is. the
question having been favored by the
bankers. it is being submitted to the
commissioners of the various counties
who will determine its adoption or re-
fusal
Adjournment of the commissioners
was taken until June l..

Precipitation
5.O5
Comparison of Rainfall

From these figures 1t will be
plainly seen that although we have
received more precipitation than the
normal since January 1st this year,
than we did during the same period
in 1921, we are still below the nor
mal," says the weather bureau report.
''In addition to receiving more preci-
pitation during the spring of 1922
than in the spring of 1921, it must
also be remembered that the fall of
1920 was very dry. the total rainfall
for the five months, August to De-
cember, inclusive, was but 1913 inches,
while during the same period in 1921
the total was 4.56 inches. The moist
ure content at the seeding season of
1921 was, therefore, in excellent con-
dition, far better than for several
years. Temperature conditions, from a
crop standpoint. were more favorable
this spring than last, as the cool
cloudy weather caused heavy sstooling
cf small grains, prevented evapora-
tion, and made field work more pleas
ant. All conditions considered, the
farmers of Burleigh county were ne
yer favored with a better crop pros
pect than at present"
