In Speaking of North Dakota, be sure not to omit

this state twenty years ago mistake was made
but we must bear with it and do our best to let the
world know that our state is not the same az our
good neighbor on the South. This we can elect In
a measure by never emitting the word North"
from our states name, Men often say: "wnen
came to Dakota" 1.-THE Dakota Blizzard etc. VI

has had to suffer for the sins Of the two Dakotas
North Dakota h TIE nearest approach 70 the sarthl

Caronas and two Virginias, SO there are Two u"
