ADDRESS OF WELCOME.

Madam president and members of
the North Dakota Federation of
Women's Clubs. A long time ago we
had it in our hearts to invite you to
be u guests, but such was the ever
nee for you, and the timidity with
which it did inspire us, that we hest
tated, feeling u own deficiencies.
Probably never in the past, or again
in the future, will such an upheaval
Of a city take place in your behalf,
as you here behold. There should be
something significant in a name, but
even Devils Lake is strangely on the
v Of your coming, stirred as v
before; her depots and elevators are
moved, her network of iron rails en-
larged, the farmers are building a
railroad of their own, her city streets
swelling with pride, her new, stately
brick blocks are already reared to
diminutive sky scrapers, and her
churches remodeled and re-embellished
all the better to prepare for and
signalize the coming Of this conquer
ing and to conquer host of women.
AS we expect to be temperate in all
things, we r graciously aided in ex-
tending you the hospitality-not only
the homes of our local club members,
but the good ladies Of the W. G. T.
u. have opened their hospitable doors
and join heartily with us in our greet
ing of welcome, thrice welcome. All
of ours are yours except u husbands
If you can find them. \
With pardonable pride we recall that
on the shores of our inland sea, the
state federation. was organized; now
as a family of sisters, we have assem-.
bled at the old familiar hearthstone-
the natal place of Jul club life, so we
lshould feel at home in this our Faith.
er's House" For the seventh time,
as the sun is furnishing it's woods ant
fields whit he red and brown and gol6
of autumn, you have assembled. May
your joys be multiplied and your care
and troubles divided seven times OF
this auspicious occasion, and as in tn,
ancient time the number seven signi
fed perfection, may we retain faitl
in the traditions of our ancestors, tina
of this session we may truthfully say
as we are about to part, "we have in
deed tried as never before to reacl
