The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1913-05-08

throughout a whole convention, and
in the work of directing it's progress,
the telephone was called into ON
mission, to assist in making 1.-The
crooked straight and the rough
places plain" The convention being
impressed thereby, duly resoluted
and in return, transmitted it's eso
luton OF coincidence to its isolated
chieftain; that official placed it IN
cold storage until the blockade was
raised.
Within the association, there was
never any UNCONVENTIONAL ~dissention,
nor was it ever permitted to gain a
foothold, thus Strengthening the per-
manence Of the organizations; en-
HANGING it's true value, activity and
term Of service. Thus today, Steele
county has the honor and distinction
of being the second association in
the state, to enjoy and celebrate a
silver anniversary. Last year Dickey
county, organized a year previous to
Steele county, celebrated the passing
of it's quarter century mark, and
this year, Pembina county divides
honors with this association. When
this record is duly weighed and con-
sidered, what an inspiration it is
for all of the present living veterans
to press onward toward the goal and
to those who will rise up, to carry its
standard forward and ever onward.
