COMMERCIAL CLUB
Well Attended Meeting Held With
Lively Discussion
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
Committees on Constitution and
Location Given Further Time
r'
to Submit Reports

1t was lively meeting that was
held in the A. O. Z. w. hall Monday
evening to consider the reports of the
committees on constitution and Local
ton for the proposed new Comment
al Club for Sank Centre. Warm dis
cussions characterized the gathering
and at times it looked as though the
heat furnished by the talk might be
sufficient to materially raise the tenn
perature in the rooms. But the full
airing of views evidently did good.
This process was, in fact, necessary to
clear the atmosphere and enable the
business men interested in forming a
Commercial Club to arrive at an UNI
Outstanding. When the meeting adj
journed the clouds caused by the ex-
plosion had cleared away and the sun
was shining brightly, metaphorically
speaking.
The bone of contention was the
question of combining social features
with the business interests of the
proposed clubs. The more conserva-
tive business men feared that social
features would result in the club
losing sight Of the main object for
which it was to be organized, namely,
the furthering of the business inter-
ests of. the town. Others believed
the club could not be carried on with
out social features. And the diseE 4
sion was On this matter. :
The meeting opened with a consid-
Grafton of the report Of the committee
on constitution. The first few sec
lions had been read and adopted and
then the fireworks began. G. b.
Bently, who had come in late, wanted
to know what kind of club was GO
ing to be organized and thought that
question should be settled before go
ing farther. This started things and
for the next hour or more the discus
sion ragged.
During the progress of the discus
sion there was some parliamentary
sparring that afforded considerable
amusement and kept the business men
in good humor. Finally, the meet
ing decided to have the committee S
report read in full, to give those pres
ent an idea of the nature of the pro-
posed constitution. c. B. Bentley
moved the appointment of a commit
tee to bring in new report. This
motion carried and the chair appoint
ed the old committee.
The committee on location and
rooms submitted a report through
their chairman. w. S. Dean, and was
continued with instructions to make
further Investigations.
Finally, about eleven O'Clock, an adj
journment was taken, the next meet
ing to be held on the call of the chair
man.

HOME SCHOOL NOTES
Lincoln's birthday was very fully
celebrated at the Home School for
Girls. On Sunday Mrs. Morse's
father, Mr.. Edwin French, gave the
girls talk on the life of Lincoln.
Mr.. French was for many years one
of the most active men in the af-
fairs of his home state, we'll known
as a keen thinker and clear and
convincing speaker, and always a.
little in advance of his time, both in
his private thinking and his public
work His lifelong admiration for
Lincoln made him particularly able
is showing, by anecdote and remin-
iscence, Lincoln's splendid character
so full of strength and yet of gen.
tleness. In the cottages the day was
celebrated in various ways. During
the previous week there were essays
and discussions on Lincoln's life and
character. On Monday school work
was suspended for the day. There
were games and ! dancing, candy
making and the making of valen-
tines. The Honor Cottage girls went
on sleighride.
Mrs. Morse is on the program of
the Social Service Club for Wednes-
day evening to discuss "The Delin-
quent GIRL" and expects to remain
in the cities several days to attend
other social functions.
Miss Anna Fridlund, who teaches
in Fargo, spent her holiday at the
Home School with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Fridlund.
During the last spell of extremely
cold weather tiny kid was added
to the flock of Angora goats kept on
the hill. When found the little fell
low was almost frozen, but through
the strenuous efforts of many attend
ants he was Kept alive, and is now
as lively as kid can be. frisking
about and playing all sorts of pranks
with his astonished elders.
