The wear- ing of the emblem denotes remembrance for the fallen soldier and also realization of obligations to the veteran who still hy the pain of strife. Could there be anything finer; anything more fitting dur- ing the few days before Decoration Day than the purchase 4 of these crimson flowers, emblematic of those which dot foreign fields where soldiers shed their blood and died in a Worthy cause. : There are many obligations to be discharged to the dis-| abled veterans of the world war as well as the other wars, and you can make their lot easier by buying poppies—your small purchase will help someone to overcome a handicap incurred in a defense of this nation’s honor and in protection of your home. “By all means buy poppies! < A WISE DECISIO Governor Nestos has pointed out wisely that the appro- | *priation for immigration purposes is so small that the state must have the earnest cooperation of the various organiza- *tions engaged in promoting the various activities of rth Dakota. Practically every Commercial Club, Association of Commerce or civic body of every nature devotes a portion of its program to attracting settlers to the state. If the ‘effort can be coordinated as far as possible, the net results | will be greater than if each organization proceeds along its, own selfish lines. | If they can determine upon a man who can coordinate! this work with what assistance the state office can give, | some concrete results should follow. It takes special ability | j to promote immigration. Railroads spend large sums each , year and secure the best talent. Surely this state can get a, *man who has made a name for himself in this line of work. | Governor Nestos is acting from the best of motives in ascertaining from local associations throughout the state swho would be the best man to aid in this class of promotion work. It would be much easier for him to pass out the plum sto a politician for services rendered —but would the state | _ gain anything in the way of increased development of its | =resources by such action? : CONGRATULATIONS! | 4 Bismarck High School is to be congratulated on the suc-! | icess of her publications in the newspaper contest held at -the University of North Dakota in connection with the high , ~Sehool conference the: “Prairie Breezes,” the high school annual, won first prize and “Pep,” the high school newspaper was awarded third place. The award is especially impressive .in view of the fact that “Prairie Breezes” is the newest venture of the high school into the publication field. , _Many factors entered into the award of the judges, the | publications being judged as to the quality of content, ar- rangement, selection of material and typography. | 't-The Tribune is especially ‘pleased over the victories -be- | ,vause the publieations are from its press, and a high quality of printing was .a factor before the judges, but would not ‘want by this mere statement of fact to in any way detract from the splendid victory of the boys and girls in charge of the publications. It was their untiring effort and the co- operation of other high schoo! students, the faculty and the } ; merchants and citizens of the city which made it possible for _ Bismarck High School to win such a signal honor. t CLEVER 3: A clever new trick for airplanes is invented by an Eng- | lishman.

The paint was off it; nothing much more exciting than a crop failure ever happened there. The main topic of conversation was the weather and as Mark Twain said, everybody talked about it, but nothing was done, Within sixty days this sopor- ifie lage became a roaring bedlam; every town lot was leased, derrigks rose out of chicken runs, boilérs panted im front yards, mobs of strangers surged through the streets and the air grew shrill with their bickerings. Naturally a little country toyn like this could not hold the nd@w- comers, therefore Wichita Falls be- came their headquarters, Here there were at least a few hotels and some sort of office quarters—sheds beneath which the shearing could take place—and there the herd as- sembled.
