BOECHER TALKED
TO TOWN CRIERS
WELL KNOWN LOCAL ADvERTis-
ING MAN READ PAPER ON ADJ
vERTislNe THAT DOES NOT
PAY-DINNER PRECEDED MEET.
ING.

The regular February meeting of the
Town Criers' club was held at the
commercial club rooms last night, and
the meeting was very interesting to
the members present. The programme
consisted of paper by M. G.. Boecher on
Advertising That Does Not Pay. The
paper showed that much thought had
been given in its preparation and the
remarks of the speaker were literally
~applauded. After the reading of the
paper a question box brought out much
interesting information on the prac-
teal way in which to advertise a
business. This feature will be a part
of each programme in the future.
Five new applications were acted on
and a number of new names were con-
sidered by the club, and an active cam
paign will be inaugurated in the near
future to get a number of the men VINO
are active in the business world to be-
come members of the club.
The officers of the club made their
reports which demonstrated that the
organization is in a good financial con-
dition.

The P. 0. CLERKS MEET
Local PostofHce Clerks Met and Elect

The Fargo branch of the National
association of P~ostofice Clerks CON
vened last night in the federal build
ing in their regular monthly meeting
and held their annual election Of ofi-
GERS for the ensuing year. The follow
ing were elected:
Presidential. N. Eckstrom.
Vice President-Worth Knauss

Colehour.

the national secretary, w. Il. Glib
bons of Scranton, Pa, informing the
local clerks that the Riley eight-hour
bill has been ~favorably reported ON

The meeting was a very successful
one, in which matters pertaining to the
betterment Of the Organization were

der to realize their ambition OF college
education and increased social eficien-
cy. How closely one man figured may
be judged from the details OF the fol-
lowing account turned in by a senior:
Expenses for the first year, s217.S4;
second year, $242,30; third year,
$265.65. The same student says he
earns about 3s per cent Of his expens-
es."
Practically every occupation repre-
scented in the life Of the state does its
part In supplying work for the eager
searchers after truth. Naturally,
farming has the majority. It is a conn
mon thing to find college men riding
binders in the North Dakota harvest
fields or doing their parts in the yari-
u lines of activity necessary to get
a crop threshed out and marketed.
The list of occupations reported by the
students is as follows: Farmers, 49,;
clerical work, 10; common labor, 81;
soliciting, IL; waiter, Ia; teacher, 13;
photography, 2; insurance, q; mail car
rier, 1; t~imekeeper, L; electrician, A;
carpenter, 4; surveying, 2; chauffeur,
p; ministry, 2; reporter, /. One re-
port read like this: waiting on the
table, janitor work, caring for furnace,
delivering papers. gardening on the
campus, addressing letters, washing
windows, caring for lawns, etc" The
same student says: When a person
has to work to earn his way through
he appreciates the opportunities which
he has and l believe he is better off
for having to work at least part of his
way through"
In the following from one of the self
supporting women there is a note of
pride that may well seem j~ustihable:
Il remained out of school for two years
to earn enough money to pay part of
my expense this year. 1 teach paint
ing at present OF the youth from
other lands who are following the
light" there are some few at the uni
versity, as would appear from this
quotation: Il left my home in Europe
when 1 was IS years old. During these
four years since l left 1 never received
and expected nor desired to re-
ceive any money from home. l work
ed for the first two years in a coal
mine, in a factory and on a farm.

the University Of North Dakota last
September. | do not expect to stay
out of school during the coming year
to earn money. I have no support or
help from anybody. At present / work

seem to indicate that the present gen
Grafton of college students are moi so
bad as r. G. Crane and some others
would like to make out.

sense true. 1t is simply a local or
ganization OF citizenship. A chance
TO exchange views. to express what
is believed to be the best in the
community and to advance civic or

the work on this score is permanent.
The Cleanup Day came from the
