$500 express from Pierre, South Dako-
ia to get their exhibit here on time.
President Moe and Secretary Barnes
are delighted with their new ven
ture "The Question Box" which had its
first Introduction at Wed. mornings
session of the North Dakota Retail
Hardware dealers association In con.
vention here. The idea is the best
conceived thus far at any of the meet
ings since the dealer who is confront
ed by problems during the year gains
much knowledge by having his ques.
tlons on business answered by those
who know. The result will be, if Wed.
mornings questions are any criterion,
that the retail hardware business will
take decided step in advance in
North Dakota during the coming year.
The following committees were ap-
pointed by President Moe to report
Thursday: Resolutions, F. F. Wilson,
Bathgate; J. H. Murphy, Rolette; and
J. A. Roell, Minot.
Nominations: H. F. Emery, Fargo;
J. H. McCollin, Hope; P. Paulson, VIII
low City.
Resolutions will be adopted thank
ing the citizens Of Devils Lake, the
Commercial club and the. press, also
the officers for the work accomplished
during the past year and the jobbers
and manufacturers for making the
exhibit a success. The need Of closer
business relations will form a part of
the resolutions as will opposition to
the parcels post and catalogue houses.

port on the continuance in Office Of the
present officers especially Pres. Moe,
