unfortunate had not North Dakota

There is no reason why the State
of, North Dakota should not take it's
place in the business affairs Of our
nationf along with the other states,
Notwithstanding the fact that North
Dakota is looked upon by the eastern
states as the one freak state of our
nation. Unless we take our place
in the business affairs and councils
OF the United States and try and
show the rest of the states OF the
Union that North Dakota is not as
bad as pictured, we shall certainly
suffer greatly from the. misunder-
standings that are now prevailing
