J count of their stewardship to thei
constituents located back home, mel
whom We have taken a more or los'
prominent part In ~eleyating to posi-
lions OF honor and trust, We ar,
boys, who. know the smell OF printers
ink and tell them they are making
good. Among this number, I nigh
Tom, who has been iitiated into every
degree OF the fraternity from devi
up; Walt Taylor, the old reliable atd
". G. Gilbreath, who has %weathered
many a political storm. :.
There are others who have gradual,
ed from our ranks and now constitute
quite an army down here, who are
helping to make the ,bcsy wheels OF
state hum. Among this number are
John Andrews, "Fire Eating John;
Albert Void, Frank Wilder, Taylor
Thompson. Geo. X. Mcpherson Wei
linglon lrysh, II. L.. Simmons, Walter
X. Cushing, r. r. Packard and w. P,

the fact that newspapermen always
make good.
We come to Bismarck asking
nothing Of her citizens-axcept their
good willard a reservation or two
on the seventh floor of your magni.
1cent hotel, where we may be better
able to view the sights Of your beau
tiful city and the picturesque country
| surrounding it. Yet, we appreciate
every kind of effort on your part, and
upon conclusion of this meeting we
will return to our homes determined
to repay, to the best of our ability,
with that which money could hardly
procure for you. p.
This is going to be one of the most
profitable, as well as most enjoyable
meetings in the history of our asso.
citation. 1t is such men as you who
have enabled us to build up so strone
a working organization as we have in
the N. D. P. A. today. We long ago
learned the value of organization. A
guard in an insane asylum vas asked
how he managed 200 inmates alone.
"Why, the fools don't know enough to
organize" he replied. We do. You
will find the members of our asso-
citation Independent and fighting the
battles Of the people and graphing
with graft in its every form-a lot OF
free lances, at work for the common
good.
AS a class, you will find our fraterni-
ty conscientious and ever ready to
serve. | ran acros the following lines
the other day that practically outline
our creed:
Don't look for the flaws as you go
through life, II
And even when you find them,
1t is good and kind to be sometimes
blind, .anG =
And look for the virtues behind
them. ', ~
For the cloudiest night has a hint OF
the light,
Somewhere in its shadow hiding;
'Tis better by far to look for the star
Than the spots on the Sui abiding.
The current of life flows ever away,
From the bosom Of Gods great
ocean;
| Don't set your course against the
rivers course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
But remember it lived before you.
| Don't butt the storm with your puny
form,
But bend and let it go DER You.
This world will never adjust itself
To suit your within to the letter.
Something must 60 wrong your whole
live long
And, the sooner you know that the
better.
! IT'S folly to fight with the infinite,
And go under at last in the wres-
tie;
The wiser mar always shapes unto
Gods plan
AS the water shapes into the
vessel. .
You will find us cooperating in
every good aus for the u%pbuilding
of North Dakota. We realize that this
state needs more publicity and we are
willing to give, and are giving thou
sands Of dollars worth of time and
space to worthy projects that will
mean more actual settlers, a larger
number of happy North Dakota homes
and greater general prosperity for
us all.
You'll find us preaching the gospel
Of Investigation, year in and year
out, shedding rays of light along the
paths that lea dto success. We are
working in behalf of community in
terest for the intimate success OF
our commonwealth depends largely
on the cooperation Of the mar on the
farm with the resident Of the city.
We are interested in your thriving
city which is destined to become one
of the best in the west. Statistics
show that in this section Burleigh
county has surpassed all others in the
production of corn. This means more
and better stock and plenty of pros

cation, your soil, minerals and clay.
all give weight to your claims for
greater possibilities.
