The hospitality of the newspaper
men and citizens of Wahpeton
was fine example Of what a town
can do to entertain convention

press boys welcome and have q
good time. AS to the sessions

great interest and enthusiasm
manifested by the fraternity. All
the papers read. showed careful
preparation, and were listened to
with eager attention.-Nome Trib

Editor Fairchild of the Cavalier
Chronicle, in referring to the meet
ing Of the members of the North
Dakota Press association which
was held at Wahpeton last week
takes a mean advantage Of the
senior editor Of this paper, who
he knew was absent enjoying the
company Of the brethern, by
charging him with absorbing the
liquid refreshments intended for
himself at the last meeting of the
association. Bro. Fairchild, this
is late in the day to register a
kick; you should have asked the
caterer to I'LL it up again" and
let it go at that.-Pembina Ex-

Wahpeton is a city of 2,467 in
habitants with booster spirit
forcibly inculcated in each one Of
the inhabitants, including the new
born babe to the most helpless
cripple. Wahpeton is in a beau
tiful part of the state and has a
commercial club that is working
all Of the time. A Boosters club
composed of the young men Of
the city who are always on the
job; the State Science school with
F. E. Smith at the head, and the
Merchants hotel, one Of the best
stopping places in the state. To
go into all the details concerning
the good things the Wahpeton
people handed the newspaper boys

was nothing left undone that
should have been done and the
every want Of each visitor SEEM
led to be anticipated
