Last week was indeed convention
week in Fargo, so many conventions
were held in various parts of the city.
1T was almost impossible to keep tab
on them. The commercial club list
shows that the following conventions
were held in this city: Tri-State
Grain Growers, Ladies' Auxiliary of
the Grain Growers, Live Stock assoc
citation, Farm Managers association,
Fargo District Sunday school, Dakota
Temporary Educational commission,
N. ID. Improved Seed Growers assoc
citation; democrat pow WOW and the
progressive republican conference. In
addition to the conventions added at
fractions were the Corn show. Poultry
show n the Home Products show.

h hotels could not supply the de-
mand of visitors to the city last week
for rooms, and the executive commit
tee of the club stepped in n proved
that it vas a needed Institution.
Through their efforts over 400 rooms
in private residences were secured for
the visitors, while the club rooms were
open almost every night to 2 a. M, to
look after the needs of late arrivals.
The club desires to thank the private
citizens, who opened their homes to
the people. One of the unique shows
was the booth Of Professor and Mrs.
Randlett at the corn show. 1t was
handsomely decorated, and was a won
derful lesson in what can be cooked
from corn.
Among the banquets held last week
were: the state Veterinary associa-
ton; the alumni of the farm hus-
bandry class Of the A. c.. the demo-
cratic banquet, the corn banquet at
the Masonic temple and the banquet
rendered Howard Elliott at the club
rooms. The executive COMMITTEES of
the club, as well as farmers round
about Fargo have taken up the mat
ter Of a central market, which is a
very needed institution. The propo-
sition will be vigorously pushed and
Secretary Stine hopes to soon bring
it to a successful termination.

Hon. Frank S. Talcott of Buffalo, N.
d., has been selected as secretary of
the state fair board. Mr.. Talcott is
a r~ustler, and will work hard to make
the exposition this year one of the
best eve held in Fargo. The state
association of county commissioners
will meet in this city Feb. Is, Id and
Is. This will be a very important
gathering.
