% Join Federation---Fine Exhibit to
Be Taken to St. Paul Land Show.

r. l.. Sherman, secretary OF the
North Dakota Federation of CONNER
cial Clubs, and Halvor L.. Halvorson,
member of the executive committee,
attended an important meeting of the
executive committee at Fargo Friday
night. 49,.
Plans were talked of for getting
every one of the 1872 Commercial
clubs of the state into the organiza-
ton. The federation being very young
yet, the percentage of clubs in it, is
not large yet. The vice presidents
and members of the committee in the
various districts of the state, will get
busy and induce all clubs to join.
The federation will urge every coun.
ty in the state to participate in the big
industrial show to be given at Bis
marck under the direction Of Commits
sioner Gilbreath in September. The
best exhibit from the various counties
will be taken later to the big land
show in St. Paul. North Dakota, 1t
is believed, can carry off the blue rib.
bon at this show, in several different
ways.
The First National Bank of Fargo
is offering $1,000 in premiums for the
best corn raised in the state. The fed.
Grafton has secured the promise OF
this exhibit to take to the St. Paul
show
Arrangements are being made for a
Commercial club day at Bismarck, be-
tween Oct. 10 and Is, during the in
dustrial show.
The meeting was good one and
the federation will grow some from
