FORM EQUITY
SOCIETY
New Society Of Equity Started
Tuesday and will Affiliate With
State ORGANIZATION.

"A OTauC0 OF the Am erlC0D
Society of Equity was formed
at the commercial club rooms
late yesterday afternoon which
will be affiliated with the state
organization and will send dele
gates to the convention of that
body, which will be held in
Bismarck this winter.
The formation of the society
means q great deal in the way
of education for the North Da-
kota farmers. grain buyers and
business men in general. The
plan inaugurated by the new
Fargo branch is to bring men
of prominence both from this
country and abroad who have
given the question of farming
and agriculture much study.
The next meeting of the So
ciety will be held Nov. Is, at
which time delegates will be
elected to the state meeting at
Bismarck. The officers Of the
new Fargo branch of the socie-
ty are:
President-J, b. Folsom.
Vice presidential. ]. Hagen.
Secretary-A. A. Trovaten.
rreasurer-W. C. Macfadden.
The foregoing article clipped
from the Fargo Forum of the
7th. shows the attitude of the
business men of Fargo toward
the American Societyof Equity
Every one of the officers named
are business men of the city,
our own H. ]. Hagen, now
president of the Scandinavian
American bank being the vice
president. It is self.evident
that the citizens of Fargo ap.
preciate the fact that upon the
success of the farmers must de-
pend the development of that
city and they are ready to join
hands with the farmers and to
aid them in the building up of
this great organization, which
points the way toward scienti.
fic farming; better schools; bet
homes, improved social and
financial conditions and last,
but by no means least, it brings
the business men of the city
and the farmers into a closer
alliance which will ultimately
result in benefit to all concern.
ed. If the business men of
Wahpeton were to follow the
splendid example set by Fargo
The Times believes it would re.

such an alliance between those
