evening being delivered by Darby A..
Day. the New Yorker who compli-
mented the agents for the great
amount of business they had been do
ing and were doing for the company.
He said that Manager Smith had
brought this field into order when
there appeared to be no order and a
hopeless task ahead of him. His talk
was most interesting.
One of the big events of the even
ing was when Supervisor Day arose
and in a most flowery and eloquent
address presented Manager Smith with
a magnificent diamond Scottish Rite
ring as a token of the esteem in which
he was held by the men who worked
with him in bringing the Fargo agency
up to it's present high standard, and
as soon as he had finished the entire
company got UP and sang, For He's a
Jolly Good Fellew, and Mr.. Smith
said he didn't want to say anything
because he wanted to think 1t over.
After a time he told his guests how
much he appreciated the gift. During
the evening delightful music was
furnished by a local orchestra.
Accompanying the gift of the dia-
mond ring was an deliberately en-
crossed address which was signed by
all of the company, and which Mr..
Smith says he will have framed and
hung up in his parlor. The insurance
men and their ladies are visiting the
fair. today and will leave for their
homes this evening and tomorrow.
Every agency in the district was re-
presented at the gathering. Mr.. Day
the New York man says 1t was one
of the finest social functions that he
ever attended
