claring that the Fargo Commercial
club and the Fargo committee of
newspape7rnen fairly outdone them
selves in making the two-day visit
pleasant.
Entertainment features were plan

fere with the business sessions and as
a result the members of the ~associa-
ton were afforded an eNcellen: oppor-
tunity OF discussing many matters
which have to do With the profession.

successful meeting ever held and will
serve as a mode for future business
of the association.

years in view OF the presidents

made as permanent as possible.
