their friends of the Sons of Norway
organization met at their hall, west
Central avenue, Tuesday evening, to
hold their annual Yulefest, which is
always one of the happiest events in
their calendar. The essence of "Peace
on Earth, Good Will to All Men" is
expressed in the Norwegian greeting
"Gladelig JUL" which was heard on al!
sides at this happy gathering, and if
there was dull moment spent or a
harsh thought harbored, it was not
outwardly manifested during the en-
tire evening.
A splendid banquet had been pre-
pared, consisting Of large number of
both Norwegian and American deli
cacies, which was served at $3.50
o'clock, being preceded by musical
program by Hovind's orchestra.
John Sveen presided as POSTMASTER
in mastery manner, and at the con-
clusion of the feasting called upon a
large number of the banqueters who
responded in happy manner, the
speaking being done, with but few
exceptions, in the language of their
adopted country.
The first speaker of the evening was
Peter Fugelso, president Of the order,
whose remarks, though brief, were lis
tened to with close attention. He was
followed by John J. Lee, r. A. Nestos,
Prof. Haugelund (the guest of hon.
or), Martin jacobson, DR.. Bonnichsen,
H. A. Martinson, Grant S. Youmans,
and Isak Mattson, all Of whom seemed
to be inspired with the gaiety of the
happiest season of the year.
Prof. Haugelund, who was the guest
of honor and principal speaker of the
evening, spoke in the Norwegian Ian
guage and spoke on "The Duties of the
Norwegian in America" showing the
relations of the Norwegian to his adj
opted land and comparing them with
those of the native land. During his
remarks Prof. Haugelund referred to
Ninot as an "oasis in the desert" and
said that owing to the hospitality of
the Norwegian people Of Minot he had
spent the most pleasant Christmas in
his recollection.
After the speaking, the orchestra
played the overture, "In Norway"
after which dancing was INDUCED in
until the morning hours, and it was
