NORTH DAKOTA GREETERS HOLD CONVENTION IN MINOT

The .stale convention of the North Dakota Chapter of Greeters, was held in this city Tuesday, there being a very representative lot of hotel and restaurant men from various sections of the state attending.

Carl K. Danielson, the state pres­ident, and J. O. DahU state secretary, both of this city, had all arrangements for a very interesting and profitable day for the visitor.-:.

J. O. DAHL

CARL E. DANIELSON

At ten o'clock they assembled at the Leland-I'arker hotel, where the morn­ing session was held. Mr. Danielson presided and introduced R: A. Nestos, member of the board of directors of the Association of Commerce, who de­livered the address of welcome. He said the key to the city had been thrown in an empty keg, the keg thrown into the river to find its way back into Canada from whence noth­ing empty ever returns.

The le.iponse was made by Ted Kahellek, prominent Kenmare hotel-man, who is gaining quite a reputation j

as a speaker. !

The seeretiiry read a telegram from | :he National Sec- |

.retary, Air. Fuller, J |of Denver, Colo, >

The Newspaper [jas a Civic Asset fwas very ably dis­cussed by Hal iDavies of the Mi-inot Daily News. |:ie said that such (an organization as jche Greeters had la fine opportunity jco boost for North (Dakota.

Harry Peyton of IWilliston made a plea for hotelmen j

to work in har- i

mony with public j service corporations and Lee Rice of j Jamestown gave a talk on hotel opera-1 tion. j

The plan of Greeters organizing lo- j cal clubs in towns where there are suf-1 flcient members was favorably discus- j sed. Minot, with 17 Greeters has the | largest number of any city in the j state.

At 2 o'clock a turkey dinner was served at the Leland. The table was decorated with little flags. Hovind's orchestra played a fine program of patriotic airs in honor of Washing, ton's birthday. Mr. Danielson presid­ed as toastmaster and responses were | given by G. D. Colcord, R. A. Nestos, j

John Corbett, Ted Kahellek, William | O'Rourke, and others. i

President Danielson delivered his j address, urging the Greeters to serve the community in which they live, losing no opportunity to say a good word for North Dakota. He called at­tention to the immigration program, which the state has started and urged them to get back of it. A hotelman has so many opportunities to say a good word for the town and the state in which he lives. Mr. Danielson is owner of the Grand hotel in this city.

J. O. Dahl, the wide-awake secre­tary, spoke on the Greeter spirit of co-operation. He made a plea for co-operation between the hotelmen and their employes. When the em­ployes are doing the right thing, tell them about it. A pat on the back is better than a kick on the shins, he said.

In the evening the Greeters enjoyed the Town Criers banquet and later that night met at the Mandlarin room of the Grand Cafe to enjoy a chop raey dinner.

Out-of-town men attending the con­vention were Theodore Kahellek, Ken­mare; W. R. Snow, Kenmare; Bert Watson, Portal; H. A. Jolley, Portal; J. R. Martin, Sherwood; L. E. Gates, Mohall; John Morgan, Devils Lake; Harry Hall, Rugby; E. B. Crary, Rug­by; Harry Peyton, Williston; L. O. Yonkers, Williston; Leo Rice, James­town; J. W. Aldrich, Valley City; B. W. Higgens, LaMoure; Harry Olin, Grand Forks, and Nels Pierson, Col­umbus.

J. O. Dahl, the secretary, was nam­ed a delegate to the Greeters conven­tion to be held in New Orleans. Mr. Dahl is connected with the Leland-Parker hotel of this city.

Last year, on potato ground, Johnson raised 20 bushels of wheat per acre. Speaking of potatoes and potaato growing, Mr. Johnson says that G. I. Porter of Berthold several years ago shipped two cars of potatoes south and when they arrived at their des­tination the men in charge wired back the price they were offered, which proved unsatisfactory to Porter and he ordered them to bring the tubers back. He planted these two cars and realized over $25,000 as the result of his decision.
