IA TO HAVE A CLUB WITH FAR

Fargo will have a Scandinavian club
that will be patterned somewhat after
the celebrated Odin and Norden clubs

the new club to form an organiza-

The object of this club is to have
an organization on the order of a state
commercial club for Scandinavians
where businessand professional men
of Scandinavian nativity, or those who
have married women from either
Sweden, Norway or Denmark can meet
and exchange ideas. In short to keen
and maintain a club house or rooms
here.

be benefited.
1t is believed that the proposed club
will have a large membership. Petit

left at convenient places, and they
are being numerously signed The
idea appears to be good one and
many are taking hold of it with vim

"As Fargo is becoming the grea,
center west of the twin cities, and az
we have large majority OF the
Seandinavians here, in Moorhead and
the northwest of ali ranks, we have
proposed to organize a club among
our countrymen similar TO the great
Scandinavian orders, the Odin and
Norden clubs Of the twin cities, which
we think will be great success. II
will also make Fargo the Headquarters
and home for the many Scandinavian
business and professional men now
going through this city. For this pur-
pose we should all join hands. 1t has
therefore been suggested that with
fifty members in good standing. sub
