into the membership Of the organiza
ton
One OF the most important events
of the evening was the proposition that
was presented for bringing The Dakota
Dakota Farmer, with it's auxiliary pub
locations. to Fargo. The paper il pub
lished at Lisbon and has been con-
Quoted by the farmers of the state for
the last twelve years. Desire to in
crease the capital, and magazine as a
whole. has led TO the proposition OF
bringing the paper to Fargo.
The plan is to change the magazine
to a semi monthly publication, in.
crease the capital and secure some
one to take over the active business
management of the paper. The pres
ent subscription Of the publication is
1000 copies and The Rosary, a school
magazine, published by the same house,
has equally as large a circulation
while The Western Educator, also
published by this firm, has circula-
tion Of 1000 copies.
The company is now capitalized at
about $4,000 and according to the
proposition outlined the capital stock
will be increased to $4,000, of which a.
number of Fargo men seem anxious to
get hold of portion of this amount.
Max Stern moved that the matter be
referred to a committee which will
take the matter up for further consid-,
Grafton. ]. B. Folsom is chairman of
the committee.
Prof. Gordon Randlett of the A. G.
sent a request to the club asking that
1t contribute $3.50 towards the support
of the corn growers meeting which
will be held in Fargo. r. S. Lewis
presented the question of asking Moor
head business men to assist in pay
ing a portion OF this money, advocating
that certain lines of business in Moor
head got great deal of good out of
the meeting of the corn growers which
will be held in Fargo 1t was decided
that this should be done and Messrs.
Hail. Forth, Lewis. Anheier and Har-
rington were appointed as a commit
tee to take up this matter. At the
same time Mr.. Lewis reported a favor
able balance of $685. left over from the
fund that was raised for the labor day
celebration this year, which was turn
ed over to the club.
The local club decided to endorse the
movement being made by the Bismarck
Commercial club, asking Andrew Car
negie for funds to secure the erection
of a library for the state historical So
ciety. A letter was read from the
Manchester Biscuit Co., telling Of it's
appreciation of the favors shown the
company in erecting the new plant in
Fargo and inviting the members of
the club to visit the plant
The question of planning for the
opening of the new club rooms was
talked over at some length and it was
decided to leave the matter in the
hands of the house committee assisted
by President Hardy, c. H. Anheier and
Morton Page. 1t is understood that the
new club home will be opened with
great pomp and ceremony and II is
probable that President Louis Hill of
the Great Northern railroad will be
invited to attend the ceremony as a
guest of honor.
A letter was read from the Mime
apolis Commercial club which stated
that the directors of the mill city or
ganization were more than glad to en-
ter into an agreement with the local
club, whereby there would be an ex-.
change of courtesies shown between
the members OF the two clubs,
Smith Stimmel of Casselton made a
short talk before the members of the
club, requesting them to more earnest
| " consider the question of diversified
farming i'm the state. He made an es-
pecial appeal for a greater interest in
dairying and asked that the club ap-
point a committee to consider the
dairying advancement with some of
! the A. c. professors who are interested
in the proposition. The address was
well received by the club
Postpone Auditorium.
The committee in charge or the
consideration of the erection of new
$4,000 auditorium. reported that it
would be unable to construct such a
building this year. The men who have
signed the subscription lists have
asked that the building be postponed
another year, when, 1t is expected, the
crops will be better.
