(Valley City Times RecOrd)

The Greater North Dakota Asso-
citation has slogan Tell The
Truth About North Dakota" 1t is
good slogan and one worthy OF
adoption by everybody who has the
welfare of the state at heart. III
the truth is told about North Da-
kota the resources of the state viii
speak for themselves. Let any
farmer come from Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, or any other state,
who has not seen the wonderful
opportunities this state offers, look
us over and then go back nome
and tell the truth, this state will
gain thousands of good people as
permanent citizens on our farms
in the next few years. The tale
told by other men as they visit
the state is the best recommended
tion we can have. They come
here, see the wonderful crops we
can raise OF wheat. flax, alfalfa,
corn. clover, anything that can be
raised elsewhere, and they 80
back amazed. In addition to all
these crops we have mentioned.
North Dakota farmers raise as fine
| cattle. hogs, horses, poultry. ETC.,
as can be found in any state IN
| this Union. Our farmers have fine
| homes dotted all over the prairieS
! that years ago were barren lands.
Groves of trees, fruit orchards,
| everywhere, and in many homes III

| few years have been hard ones for
the farmer, not only in North Da-
kota. but all over the United
States, but better times and better
prices are coming and a more
optimistic feeling is prevalent:
Right here we have wonderful
educational institutions, not only
in the cities, but on the prairies:
the best teachers, the best OF
everything. Churches of every de-
nomination are within the. reach
of all, and good roads are becom-
ing the pride Of the state, so that
people travelling around can do 50
in comfort regardless of rain or
weather. We have the best people
in the world here and as fine 4
climate as can be found in the
world, taking it the year around
We offer great opportunities tc
those who show a desire to earn 2
competency by work and thrift
but we have no room for the

woman, ever prospered by being

prosper here or elsewhere unless
they get busy and 60 after thu
