ARE KEEPING The
KETTLE BOILING
Nao LET UP IN THE FIGHT TO
LAND THE BIG CONVENTION
FOR FARGo-ALL THE BOYS IN
THIS SECTION PULLING FOR
the GATEWAY CITY.

VIII Fargo get the United CONNER
cial Travellers convention for 1911?
This question may be answered by
asking another: Has Fargo ever lost
anything where a determined effort
was made to get what she went after?
Fargo Council, No. 65, has already
notified the thirty councils in this
Jurisdiction that the council is want
ing the convention for this city and
OF its intention to invite the Grand
council to hold its eighteenth annual
convention in the BIGGEST LITTLE
CITY IN THE WORLD in 1911. The
sessions of the Grand council do not
come for the mere asking, as there are
too many inviting for each session, but
1t requires hard work and the members
of Fargo council have decided to do
the work which is evidenced by their
early announcement Of the fact that
Fargo is a candidate.
A travelling man who runs out OF
Crookston was in the city a day or two
ago and here is what he said in con-
nection with the above: MY, but our
fellows were pleased when we read in
the daily papers that Fargo was after
the convention for next year. While
] am not in a position to talk with
authority. I can say that nine out of
every ten travelling men whom / meet
on the road is out fiat footed in saying
that they want the convention to go
to your town. We were treated right
there the last time we met, and I
think It was in 1901 and we have a
III. A1,mA
win get the same kind Of treatment
next year. I'd like to make bet that
Fargo will get it, for I know the boys
Of this town and you can just bet that
when they go after anything they go
after it right, and from what 1 can
see and hear just now they are out for
the big time next year. 1t is a big adj
vertisement for your city and I'll bet
the merchants will be more than pleas
ed after we are gone to see the won
ders that this kind Of advertising will
do for you"
It might be said that already the
work of the locals in boosting for the
convention Is being felt and Secretary
Dunn of the local council says he has
already begun to receive letters MAX
ing Inquiries in regard to the work that
is being done. Every one Of the ESQ or
more members of this council are al
ready at work doing the boosting act
and there seems to no doubt that Far
go viii get the convention, because
everybody wants 1t to come here. The
members, however, do not propose to
go to sleep, but will continue pegging
away until the meeting at Saltwater
in June declares for Fargo.
After the convention has been Sc
cured then the real big work of the
Fargo council will commence and
then each and every member Of the
council consider himself a committee
OF one to boost for all he is worth, for
it is hoped to make the biggest trav-

BENEFITS FOR MANY.
What Becomes of the Dues Paid in by
the U. C. r.


We sometimes hear members in
quire, what do / get for my council
dues?" This Is the money that sup
ports the entire machinery of the or
ganization outside of its beneficial fea-
lures says The Sample Case. Subor-
dinate. grand and supreme councils
would require an income to exist upon
as organized bodies II they did not
pay out a dollar of benefits. But the
paying out Of benefits is, after all, q
small part of the reason for their ex-
istence. From the council dues comes
the money for all the benevolent work
and much of the social pleasures OF
the councils, and in many places for
the maintenance OF club privileges en-
joyed by resident and visiting men,
bers alike. 1t costs something to plant
and maintain an independent but
closely cooperating working parts of
the whole, nearly 500 subordinate
councils and twenty-five grand coun-
ellis. Yet they give the member who
pays his small local dues Of from Sc
to Sc a year an allied body of COM
mercial travellers in every sizeable
town he visits backed by a state or
ganization, and ready at all times to
look after his interests. All of these
merge into the supreme or national
body and through that again the mem
Der has representation in the inter-
national federated body, taking in the
principal kindred organizations-all at
practically the cost of council dues.
But the greatest Of these bodies,
standing in relation to the individual
member, is the subordinate council
and the great work there at all times
accomplished. Through the large ros-
ter Of subordinate councils, the MEM
Der receives uncounted benefits for his
money and also enjoys the privilege Of
doing good to his fellows in a con-
crete, efficient and helpful way.

q re and tha cenaus.

The United States census of 1910
bids fair to be the first enumeration
Uncle Sam has ever made that will re-
motely approach a correct count of the
number of commercial travellers in this
country. The census of 1900 put them
down at a paltry $4,000, when every
man connected with the business
knows that three times that number
would have been low even at that
time 1t is stated that this census
will include careful count of the men
behind the grips and separate them
from the agents, peddlers streetfakirs
and lightning rod men. If this is
done accurately it will be most inter-
esting to learn the result.
