Devine Believes That Method

County exhibits at county fairs in
niddlewestern states boosting North
Dakota are urged by j. M. Devine,
commissioner Of immigration. Mr..
'Devine, who inaugurated the idea
asst year, will endeavor to interest
many counties in the plan this year,
believing that the coming summer
will be an opportune time to ad-
vertise the state and to secure a good
class of people to come to North
Dakota farms.
Because of lack of funds the state
immigration department itself can
not send out exhibits, according to
Mr.. Devine. He believes that the
exhibit method is the hest for TAX
ing the value. of North Dakota farms
direct to prospective immigrants, and
since the state cannot do this he
urges that counties do so. The coun-
ties will have the advantage of a
direct benefit in addition to aiding
the state as whole, he says.

ANEW is ASKED
Governor Issues Proclamation
Urging Cooperation With
Vets Bureau
TO SECURE POSITIONS
Would Place Men Disabled
and Trained For New Jobs,
in Places in N. D.

Governor r. A. Nestos today issued
proclamation asking general aid
In the state in securing employment
for rehabiitated service men. Co.
operation with the Veterans Bureau
In placing the former service men
who were unable to continue their
former occupation after the war by
disabilities and were trained by the
government for new vocations, is
urged by the executive. The proc
lamation follows:
The United States Veterans Bu-
reau has done splendid work in
rehabilitating the men disabled >in
the World War, for the purpose of
making them self-sustaning: active
and helpful factors in the life of the
community. state, and nation. This
course of instruction and vocational
education has been so successful
that many of these men are now
capable of undertaking various
classes of work and of rendering
satisfactory service.
NO group of men in our country
is more entitled tos respectful and
sympathetic consideration. These re-
habilitated veterans must be absorb
ed by industry, the professions,
trades, and agriculture. The govern
ment promised all of these men at
the beginning of their training per-
iod that they would be provided with
employment opportunities at the COM
pletlon of their courses of instruc-
ton. These promises must be kept.
1t is a governmental, fraternal, bust
ness, and patriotic duty to aid in
the return of these men to the eco
nomic life of the state. All good
citizens should rejoice that there is
now the opportunity to help in this
splendid work.
Whereas, The North Dakota
branch is handicapped in the task
of securing employment for all of
these rehablNated men on account
OF the present agricultural deprcs-
sion, and
Whereas, Voluntary committees of
citizens have been organized in var
ious cities of the state acting as a
clearing house of employment oppor-
tunities and information to aid the
Veterans Bureau in the work 81 Sc
curing employment for these rehab-
ilitated men,
Now, Therefore, I, r. A. Nestos,
Governor of the state Of North Da-
kota, do hereby urge all citizens of
the state to cooperate with these
voluntary local committees and with
the Veterans Bureau in the task of
securing the best possible employ
ment for these rehabilitated ex-ser-
vice men and to render this aid not
only as a patriotic duty but because
the communities, the state, and the
nation need the contribution that
these men will be able to make to
the industrial, economic, and civic
growth and, development of our
state in the decades to come.

North Dakota, this 9th day of March
