Valley City, N. d., May 1O.--Re-
sponse from invitations to attend
the permanent organization meeting
of the Greater North Dakota Asso-
citation sent out from the Valley
City office indicates that a large del
egation will be present on May 18th
to hear the addresses at the meet
ing and to take definite action to-
ward perfecting an organization to
"tell the truth about North Dakota"
in an intensive advertising campaign.
E. G. Hilborn, president of the Val
ley City Commercial Club, has issued
invitations to all delegates invited
by the association to attend one
o'clock luncheon at the Hotel Rudolf
at Valley City on Thursday, May 18th.
The Greater North Dakota Asso-
citation is being formed for the pur-
pose of advertising the truth about
this state regarding its natural re-
sources that immigrants may be at
tracted to the state, agriculture
placed on more firm foundation
and the credit of the state be re-es-
tablished. The sponsors of the move
ment feel that North Dakota enjoys
enough advantages to be attractive to
homeseekers if they are told of these
advantages without in any way exag-
gerating the facts. Plain stories of
what has been accomplished by men
in the state through proper land
cultivation, actual facts regarding
the natural resources of the state
and how they may be developed and
information regarding living condi-
tions, financial conditions and edu-
cational conditions are to be adver-
tised through many sources by the
association that the truth about
North Dakota may be brought to the
attention of the public which has
been impressed. with stories detri-
mental to our welfare.
The activities of the association
will not be directed toward the de-
velopment of any particular section
of the state but to the development
of the state as a whole. The asso-
citation is not organized for profit to
any individual or group of indivi-
duals but is purposed for the good
of North Dakota and every resident
of the state.
The temporary executive commit
tee has arranged for several speak
ers of prominence for the May 18th
meeting. and the program will in
clude talks by Governor r. A. Mes
tos, on "The Duty of a Citizen to
Cooperate in advertising the Truth

national movement.
A tribute was paid to all mothers
by Governor Nestos.
'Tomorrow is Mothers Day." he
said. what flood of memories
wells up in each one of us; how
quickened the heartbeats, how suffus-
ed the eyes at the very mention OF
the name of Mother. If there is any
commemoration in the year that
should call forth the best traits OF
manly men and womanly women, il
is certainly the celebration Of Moth

happy to be privileged to participate
In the exercises.
"There is a two-fold view Of this
day. There is the personal or indlvi-
dual thought of mother, and in the
halo of that thought each day of the
year should be mothers day. Then
there is the thought and purpose
back of this celebration; the in.
fluences of mother in moulding the
character and in shaping the destin.

Not only for their heart aches but
for their faithful services while the
whole nation was being mobilized fol

them. We can never repay them fol

But I want also to pay my re-

SUPERVISORS OF

Everybody believes in proper
playground supervision.
But a great deal of help is
needed by women of the city
seeking to provide this super

Fine Fairgrounds have been
arranged, but supervisors are
needed. The movement was in
augurated by women with the
belief that it would provide
proper places for play for chill

factor in preventing possibly
fatal accidents by keeping chill
dren out of the streets.

Washington, May 1O.--The scope
of tax revision provided in the Sen
ate revenue bill differs slightly from
that proposed in the bill as passed
by the House.
The vital sections of the measure,
however, were transformed in the
Senate to conform to the program
of the Democratic-insurgent Repub-
lican coalition as comnared to COM
promises effected by Republican or
ganization leaders in the House.
All sections on which difference
prevails between the House and
Senate must be worked out in con-
ference. Provisions which were
adopted by both chambers automat-
ically stand.
The main sections which must go
to conference for final adjustment
are the income tax schedule, the
! corporation tax, and publicity of re-
turns and estate taxes.
Where They Agree
Important provisions on which the
House and Senate are in practical
agreement are:
A cut Of rs percent on all income

laneous and excise taxes, and re-
peal of a number with the excise
