An active samnpaai]KIhl f s,s members Of,
the CONNER FEAT Club which will swell
the membership Of the organization to
200 within q weeks time is the mark
which the Devils Lake organization
hopes to make in the move which will
be inaugurated next Monday morning
and continue night and day for q
week.
While it is thought that the mark
will be reached in q week g time in
accordance with tho method to be in
troduccd for the work, If such should
not be the case, those who fail to be-
come members will be put on list and
gone after again until every male cit
izen Of Devils Lake iss a member Of the
local organization.
Without a membership equal to the
occasion the Commercial club has its
hands tied. The membership of few
cannot bespeak the need Of the masses.
Active publicity work above all things
must be carried on and the many un-
dertakings require work for larger
than the club now enjoys.
A meeting of few real live wires
was held yesterday and another one
is scheduled for next Friday evening,
which needs the attention Of all inter
ested in the campaign. It is proposed
to have two teams with captain of
each organization, which viii institute
an hourly campaign for members. The
team receiving the most members will
Re rewarded accordingly. Tho team So
curing the most members within an
hour g time will also be rewarded.
In order to make the membership
of the club within the reach Of all the
fees will be allowed on an
installment basis and all new members
before Nov. / will be given the priv
ilege of paying five dollars down and
five dollars q month"; This is xhe
greatest concession ever offered by any
Commercial club in the Northwest and
better still, Devils Lake has one Of
the best Commercial club quarters in
North Dakota, ranking with Grand
Forks and, Fargo in this particular.
There are many things that can be
offered as an inducement to be a mem.
Der of the Commercial club. There are
many things which must be carried
out during the next year. There is no
valid reason why every citizen of Dew
lis Lake should not, be member of
the club and warning is given those
who are not members to begin thinking
Of some excuse if they have none to Of
fer, for the membership campaigners
will be armed to meet any argument, if
there could be any, as to the reason
you are not a member Of the Club.
The city will be divided into dis.
tricts and two members from each
team will have charge of each district.
The territory will be raked with fine
tooth comb. and there will be no laying
down until the great feat Is aecomp.
lished.
The campaign for membership will

receive reports and the standing of the
teams. will be announced A list Of
those who are not members has been
prepared and each team man will be
supplied with large amount Of thun
der and live wires for the purpose OF
allowing him to be as effective as pos
sible in his work.
Each man, other than the teams. will
be asked to give two hours each day t
the work for six days during the cam
paign. It Is not a question Of what
the new members are going to get out
of the club. The question is what arr
they going to put into it4
It is not money making scheme
The Commercial club does not neei
money so much as the right kind q
spirit. Remember that the meeting t,

rooms. The campaign will be started
Monday and men who will work tn
