The heads‘of fraternal organization: and other organizations in the city, both of men and women, are asked by the Town Criers to devote at least ten minutes of their meetings this week to a serious consideration of the city, its needs and its possibili-, ties. Suggest Open. House Every busniness.man,in the city is. asked to fiold open house tothe people of the city this week, to ‘show to people many things which the average Person doesn’t know. The Town Criers know by an actual test—tried on their own members— that few persons can instantly cata- logue the most salient features used in “selling” the city. In a letter dis- patched to heads of lodge and other organiaztions and merchants the pur-: pose of the week is set forth by the Town Criers as follows: Purpose of Week “Do you realize that very few of _ our most loyal citizens really know Bismarck—have catalogued her at- tractions—have noted her civic im- provements—her consistent growth in population, business, civic prestige, and as a hospital center? “The Town Criers realize that every citizen ought to know—wants to know, his city so that he may be able to tell the world some honest hard facts when he is promoting his city as a home, as a business opportunity, or an industrial advantage. “Know Bismarck Week” will be celebrated from May 2 to May 7. The Town Criers will undertake to im- plant upon the memory of every citi- zen some worth while information con- cerning Bismarck. - H “Every citizen is asked to join in' the spirit of the week” Few people really want to knock their city. They do not realize, of course, that the failures they attribute to their city are their own. A dog will lick the hand that strikes it, Even so your city feeds the mouth that decries it. The knocker, dreads the knock.

He not only be- ! lieves that his city may be made the ! best place on earth—for him—but he sets about to make it that. | This faith—this belief in what has been done, iri what can be done, in the ability to do, and this determina- tion to achieve, are the stuff out of, which worth while communities are, ‘Bismarck has many advantages. It is well located. From the time it was touted as a future Chicago:it has been| imbued with the very essence of opti- migm. It is progressive. It has much! to commend it. But it would be sui-, cidal to devote ourselves to self con- gratulation for what we have done. We must be forward-looking. We can not be that without seeing our short comings. To continue a progressive development we need more faith, more; faith in our city, more faith in each, other, more faith in ourselves, more determination to do, more devotion to community improvement, and more team work. If we take pride during this week of city advertising in what we now possess, let us not shut our eyes to che Bismarck of the future—a city in- dustrious, clean, decent, progressive | and beautiful, More than this, let us set ourselves with firm resolve to the limit expenditures of a candidate.
