Mr.. w. F. Powell had been selected
as POSTMASTER. and his keen sense of
hdmor and readiness of speech made
him the right man for the place. It
was past ten o'clock when he called
the gathering to order, and as an in
spring thot cited the fact that this
was the first banquet in the new opera
house and the day the anniversary Of
the birth Of Abraham Lincoln.
The first speaker of the evening
was II. L. Wood, president of the
Warren Commercial club, and his
theme was Looking Forward-A
Prophecy" In an excellent speech,
he pointed out the essential things
necessary for the upbuilding Of q
town. The progress of community
depends upon the public spiritedness
of the citizens. Tnselfshness, broad
1nindedness, loyalty, ambition, push
and enthusiasm are some of the quail
fications of a good citizen It is nee
essary that the citizens be united in
order to accomplish the best results.
He compared city to large family
and showed how by working together,
in harmony, for the common good,
rather than for individual gain, it is
possible to do great things and secure
greater prosperity for ALL Numbers
are necessary to give strength and in

forgotten. Warren has a favorable
position in the heart of a good farm
ing country, and with business men of
push and ability is bound to grow.
Our position involves responsibility
and it be1ooves us to make it mod
ern, clean, up-to-date town. We must
progress. move forward and not back,
and by being loyal to our town, our
country and it's cherished institutions
and our God, we will make Warren
the biggest little town in the Red
River Valley
G. L Spaulding was the next speak
er and his theme was Cooperation
Between City and Country. OF late
Mr.. Spaulding has developed into a
very pleasing public speaker and is
able to hold his own in any forensic
contest. He pointed out the necessity
for cooperation between the town
people and the nearby farmer, and
that here is field for the Commercial
Clubs greatest activity--the bringing
of town and country into closer rela-
ton. BY showing the farmers that
we are interested in them, we will
help our trade and discourage
their buying from the catalogue
houses. The business men should
cooperate with the farmers in secur-
