After selecting Mayville as the
meeting place for 1918 and elecring
and installing officers for the ensuing
year, the Sons OF Norway of North
Dakota and Canada brought their
highly successful annual convention
to an end at noon today. The repre-
sentation from every lodge in the
Jurisdiction was unusually good The
men who came to Bismarck as dele
gates were citizens of high caliber,
and the capital city will welcome an
other opportunity to entertain them.
Both the visitors and the city of
Bismarck viii reap benefit from this
convention. It was for many of the
delegates their first visit to their
state capital. They were glad to find
Bismarck enterprising. progressive
and we'll qualified to house the seat
of government for great common
wealth. They return to their homes
satisfied with the choice c: capital
made by the pioneers of this state
and territory more than 80 years ago.
Bismarck profited from coming in
closer touch with representatives of
a people who have played most inn
portant part in the development of
the commonwealth and who form so
large a proportion of it's total popu
latiOn.
