The Sunday meetings of the conven-
tion were held in the FirH. Presby-

was presided over by Miss White and

There were light scattered showers

rather than any necessity for 1t. seems

minds OF those inclined. The market

character and of a purely professional

attract outside trade and the uncer-

so-called deal in May wheat is caus-

Open LINOTYPE SHOP


FL. J. Freeman, for number of years
the publisher OF The Moorhead Inde-
pendent, is going to open a linotype
Office and shop in Fargo. He has leased
room on Second avenue north, just
back Of the Economy drugstore, where
he will operate his machine.
Mr.. Freeman is an experienced lino-
type man and has the reputation of be-
ing one Of the best men in the north
west for setting type with speed and
accuracy. He already has enough
work to keep him busy the greater
part of the time and the demand made
upon him by Fargo business houses
has caused him to feel that he should
open up such an office on this side of
the river.
His many friends in the newspaper
fraternity viii wish his success in his
new venture.

The seniors of the Moorhead high
school made a hit in the production of
their class play, presented on the stage
Of the auditorium OF Concordia col
lege. The play told story Of the ex-
periences OF a class of girls with trials
OF life in a fiat. The comedy features
were excellently maintained and in the
cast were exhibited instances OF such
natural talent that 1t will be strange ii
one or two musical comedy stars OF
high degree are not captured by some
enterprising manager as the result or
the splendid work which has been
done by Miss Dora J. Reynolds OF the
department Of reading and expression
In the Moorhead high school. The
great room was crowded with an audi
ence which displayed q high quality
OF enthusiasm.

MOVE TO REDUCE
NUMBER OF SALOONS
PETITIONS CIRCULATED IN THE
CHURCHES, SAID TO BE NUM-
ERoUsLY sIcNED-WILL BE
PRESENTED TO THE CITY
COUNCIL.
WILL PUT MATTER OVER.

One Of the features of the city
council meeting tonight will prob
ably be the receiving Of the petit
tons which will pray the alder
men to take such action as will
lead to a material reduction Of the
number OF saloons in Moorhead.
The aldermen seemed disposed
to leave the saloon matter to as
late a date as possible so that
Mayor Davy can take part in the
solving Of a rather important ques-
ton, but the council may set date
when the parties to the petition
may be heard. There are rumors,
too, that one or two interesting
amendments to ordinances will be
presented.

AS previously stated. move is on
foot in Moorhead to bring about, ii
possible, a reduction of the number OF
saloons.
The initiative has been taken by
mothers OF the city and 1t was promi-
nently brought up at the Congrega-
tional church yesterday morning,
when the form OF petition suggested
by the women who are moving in the
matter, was read by the pastor from
the pulpit. The form of the petition
did not meet the unanimous approval
OF the men OF the congregation-it was
too much in the shape of command
to the city council to do thus and SO.
and 1t was thought that the ends to
be obtained could not be brought
about in that way.
The matter was brought up at the
meeting OF the Mems Seminar, dur
ing the Sunday school hour, and it
was discussed very exhaustively, with
the result that a suggestion was made,
and finally approved, that the form of
the proposed petition to the city coun
ell be so changed as to request the
city council to take such action as will
lead to q material reduction in the
number OF saloons in the city and not
specify the amount of the license. The
change was made and it Is understood
that the petition in its present form
Is being very readily signed, by men
and women generally.
1t Is understood that a similar petit
ton was generally signed by the
members of the Presbyterian church
and the Methodist church, and II has
been stated that other churches In the
city are favorably disposed towards
the move.
The move to secure a reduction in
the number OF saloons is an echo az
the agitation which arose last summer
and fall, when the agents OF the Inter
ior department were so active in these
localities. A great many people en-
terrain the idea that ii was tentative
ly promised by officials OF the CITY
that the number of saloons in Moor
head would be reduced. Whether the
present city council understand the
matter in that way remains to be seen.

there is the strongest sanction for devel-
oping here strong State unity in all mat
ters which relate to your commercial de-
velopment.
sThere is also need to-day, in view Of
the fact that the great commercial systema
Of finance and transportation know nc
state boundaries, that here in Maine you
get together with all the rest Of New Eng
land. This larger unit has distinct in
dividuality, especially in matters Of
freight rates. The work OF the Boston
chamber OF commerce in securing an
expert on transportation matters is .
work which covers all Of New England,
and is available for the help Of any single
community from the Aroostook to Long
Island sound.
1.-THE new organization OF the New
England business association is one
which should be entered into by this
state body and by as many as possible OF
the larger boards OF trade throughout the
state. The New England association OF
commercial executives, made up OF the
secretaries OF boards OF trade, exists to help
the secretaries OF Maine just as much as
those OF Massachusetts or Connecticut,
and is worthy OF the interest and support
of all the secretaries in Maine, especially
OF those who are volunteering their ser
vices or who are on part-time work."
In conclusion the speaker emphasized
the importance OF boards OF trade in
teresting themselves more broadly in all
things pertaining to the civic betterment
Of their communities. He described the
plan of the Boston 1915 movement, Of
which he has been the executive secretary,
and told OF civic advance campaign Of .
week which he had just conducted in the
city OF Halifax, N. s., where the board Of
trade united with the Civic improvement
league the Woman's council, the Anti-tu-
berculosis society and the trades and labor
council and educational bodies in dsvot-
ing an entire week to afternoon confer
ences and evening addresses upon all
matters which require the united effort Of
citizens for city improvement and welfare
and growth.
"Now Is the time" declared the
speaker, "for the towns and cities Of Maine
to look forward to the future and plan to-
gether for the growth which 10 sure to
come. The trouble with most cities has
been that they have delayed planning till
after building, when 1t becomes an inn
mensely difficult and costly matter.
s'In the future, Maine is sure to have .
large urban growth; and it 10 none too
soon to begin to plan and labor unitedly
to make that growth fine and beautiful.
In the present competition between Ameri-
can cities, those are sure to win that give
the largest attention to the conditions Of
life and health and general prosperity
within their borders"
