He recalled the old building OF the

and every thing that goes with it, foI
the college yell bursts out frequently dur
ing the banquet. He spoke with feeling
regarding the dcnominational institution
and said with reference TO other state
educational institutions. Il would rather
i have my boy or girl go TO College like
! jamestown College where they not only
think of teaching something about the
material side OF life itself. but OF the
other side as Well. But he said it is no
little matter 20 build up a school like
jamestown College. with but a state en-
dowment. Schools like Jamestown Col
lege are being built up by those men and
women who have to go down in their
| pockets as individuals, II that mean
something. In this life whatever iSreally
worth while is worth striving for and
really worth trying to get, the more we
appreciate it when it is attained; it may
mean a great privation to some to make
this College possible but that makes it
worth while And speaking earnestly
to the students he continued. 1T must
mean much for the boys ana girls who
attend a school Of this kind, to think OF
the efforts that are being made to give
them u ar education, that is worth
while"
"The man who built this building, Mr..
Sanford, well kown by me. was a farmer
on these prairies and struggled hard that
jamestown College might reap the bene-
INT, and it was right for him to do So"
Dwelling upon a point frequently men,
toned by the governor in his address,
he held uD to view the many people who
become better off, here n then leave
the state for California m other places,
but he said they don't feel the cold so
much and are not SO tender until they
acquire wealth, Yet out there. though
they have beautiful flowers, trees and
warm climate, the men and women don't
seem to have anything t. do, and there
are no people on earth so unhappy as
those who, having been active in BUSH
ness and lile, suddenly drop their work,
and go where they seem to iave nothing
more to live for or do in this life. 1t is
a great mistake. 4 whole lot Of men
stop working too soon. There are many
farmers who move to town, who wuld
have been better off had they remained
on the farm. But when we get trees
planted. and our prairies cultivated to a
condition similar to the other states
and TINS must be done by the young men
and women Of today, and swiftly-then
the people will stay here, who have pros
pered II grown UP with the country.
II believe that North Dakota Isl going
to take greater advantage Of its riches;
that our coal and our straw will be made
use OF, and that we are going to develop
both the spiritual as well as the COM
mercial side Of our life.

of Mr.. Foley, the poet laureate Of our
state. He was an asset in that mans
mind. We are glad we have developed |
HIM and we are developing more, and
North Dakota is going to- take her high |
place among these United States"
Governor Hanna aroused a.nuick burst
OF applause, When in telling of work at !
Washington, he expressed a strong con-
for decreasing the tremendous ex-
pense of the army and navy, war
preparations, that could be abolished by !
a treaty for International arbitration.
The cost Of the war debt, amounts to u
