states delegation which presented the
Lincoln statue to the people of Nor.
way at Christiana. He declared him
self enthusiastic over the trip because
in his opinion North Dakota and the
entire northwest has been given the
best possible advertisement .throught
Scandinavia.
The governor spent much time in
vestigating the subject offarm credits
which has been worked out in Norway
and he returns a firm convert to the
idea. However, there will have to be
some changes in the application Of the
system and he will seek to have the
matter considered by the state legis-
lature.
Accompanying the governor is his
son ROBERT mamma, Colonel gilbert W !.
