The weather man says that the mer-

The first breath of the approaching
cold struck here this morning and 1t

Observer Grasse of the Moorhead sta
tion said this morning that from indi-
cations at that time fall to about 20

From the conditions In the north

the cold" said Mr.. Grasse, this morn
ing. "It was blowing at 2S miles an
hour this morning, but this Is likely to
be increased. The cold wave is ap-
preaching from the northwest and will
reach here sometime tonight or early
tomorrow morning. It was rather cold
at some of the stations in the north
west, although there was little snow
fall except at Havre, where an inch was
reported. Here there was only q
of an inch precipitation, but this was
sufficient to drift badly before the stiff
wind"

MASS MEETING TO
BE HELD TONIGHT
BIG ASSEMBLY OF FAReoANs
WILL BE HELD IN COMMERCIAL
CLUB PARLoRs TO BOOST RE-
LIEF FUND FOR QUAKE suF-
FERERs or ITALY.

Hundreds of postal cards were sent
out last night by Sec. B. B. Hicks Of
the commercial clab to the people OF
the city calling special attention to
the big mass meeting which will be
held tonight to boost the relief fund
which the city Is going to send to the
relief of the disaster stricken people OF
Italy and Sicily. AS 1t is impossible
to send cards to everyone in the city,
all are invited to attend this meeting
and help to make ii the success that
1t is deserving of.
There will be a number Of talks
given by people who are conversant
with the terrible conditions In the Lat
in country. which will undoubtedly be
highly interesting to those who at
tend, and give them some adequate
idea OF the fearful circumstances this
usually care-free people are in.
Large numbers OF citizens of the
city express themselves as want
ing to help the cause in some way,
and there is little doubt but that the
abundance at tonight's session will be
large. The cashiers OF the banks who
were detailed a committee to receive
funds from individuals or business
houses who wished to subscribe have
reported that several donations of
money have been received, and it looks
as though before the movement was
over, Fargo would be able to send a
considerable amount to the American
branch of the Red Cross society
through which a large part of the re-
lief work from the United States is
being done.
The officers of the commercial club
believe that Fargo should be able to
raise 1000 and they invite the entire
population to come out tonight and at
least lend the assistance Of their pres
ence at the meeting.

those of it's subjects who have sought
freedom by coming to the United
States. Fargo numbers many among
its citizens who have endured hardships
to escape from Russian conditions and
achieve such privileges as cur land

question of the means of defending
these privileges. The occasion calls
for earnest consideration as the subject
