MIKE FITZGERALD FOUND HIS
HORSES AT HOME IN THE BARN
WHEN HE ARRIVED.

Considerable excitement reignei in
the city Saturday evening for while
when it was reported that a team Of
horses had been stolen from the rear Of
John Haslam g store. The owner, Mike
Fitzgerald, anxiously called up the
nearby towns and reported the loss
and asked the sheriff's Office to help
him locate the missing team.
After all the warning necessary was
given, Fitzgerald returned to his home
and found his team in the barn. It is
thought that the team became tired of
the street and went home OF their
own accord.

MORE MEMBERS FOR CoMn6E1R,
cIAL CLUB WAS THE IDEA
LAUNCHED. rs !.
1T is EXPECTED THAT CAMPAIGN
WILL COME TO AN END,
JANUARY 1.
Open House Will Prevail at the End Of
the Contest All New Years Day and
Perhaps the Entire Opera House VIII
Be Thrown Open to the Use of the
Commercial Club.

There was an enthusiastic dinner par
/ ty at the Great Northern hotel Monday
evening given by the Commercial club
to the members of the committees in
charge of the next contest to be waged
by the members for an additional mem
bership to the club. The meeting was
enthusiastic, due to the fact that not
only was the membership matter dis
cussea but several other suggestions
were made and entered into with a
spirit that may mean ultimate triumph
making the dinner party far from a
failure.
The matter of securing members was
the main theme, after the guests had
partaken Of a bountiful repast at ia
bles set aside for them.
The plan is to reach the 800 mark by
January LIST and the committees will
work to this end. Besides IS business
men which the new committees propose
to secure, twenty-five farmers and as
many travelling men, it is hoped, will
become members of the club, which will
bring the membership up to the desired
mark.
The contest will be worked on a
somewhat different basis than the pre-
vious one and instead of being confn-
ed to one day, as was the case before,
it will continue until January l, when
an open house will be held for the re
ception Of members.
Those present at the gathering last
evening were Richard Daeley, Nap.
Lambert, Ed. Greenleaf, S. q. Bondclid,
DR.. Pierce, D. F. Bangs, E. 3. Page,
Frank Hyland, Hal Davies. Ole Ohm

WAS BUILT AT TcWNEH All
SHIPPED TO fHI ST. PAUL
LAND SHOW.

Towner, n. D., Dec 1.-THE central
figure of the North Dakota exhibit at
the st. Paul land show will be an alfal-
ia log cabin which was made at Tow
ner and was shipped to ST. Paul.
The alfalfa log cabin is of a very
unique design, being eight feet wide,
ten feet long and seven and a half
feet high. 1t is built along the lines
of the primitive log cabin with low,
squatty roof, three small windows and
a big fire place with log chimney.
Why it is called an alfalfa cabin, is
that alfalfa is woven in among screen
wire, which was made in the shape of
logs and built along the same lines as
a log cabin. The alfalfa was gathered
around Towner and has been kept
green so that it will make a very at
tractive display for North Dakota.
Commissioner of Agriculture Gil
breath and S. ". Wheelon were the
originators Of the scheme and Mr..
Wheelon had score of men working
for nearly. three weeks designing and
building the cabin. When it is erected
at St. Paul fireplace will be built of
North Dakota brick and North Dakota
briquette will be used for fuel
On the inside Of the cabin will be
exhibits Of various kinds. such as fruit
grown in North Dakota, vegetables,
grains and grasses and pottery made
from North Dakota clay. There will be
chairs ard tables made in the manual
training department Of the North Da-
kota schools and we venture to say
that not one of the many thousands of
people who will visit the land show
will pass up the opportunity of going
inside the alfalfa cabin built in Tow
ner.
