The Mandan post has-cooperated splendid- ly in the entertainment. Marshal Foch comes to Bismarck as the state capi- tol, and much jealousy has aroused on the part of other cities in the state. There was an effort to route Marshal Foch on the Great Northern and Fargo apparently is much disap- pointed because Marshal Foch ig vis- iting Bismarck. R. A. Nestos Will Not | Attend Meeting of State Governors Because of the tasks before him in getting acquainted with the many details of the duties of the governor- ship, Governor R. A.
