the rip snorting statesmen for the E-
M-F Co. and Is making good.
1t is hoped that every member of
the Fargo council No. 65 of the u. @.
T. will attend the meeting this even
ing as there will be Q good deal of im-
portant business to come before the
session, and Senior Counselor Bishop
earnestly asks all to turn out.
Frank McRona OF Reinecke g. Me-
Kone, left here the early part OF the
week to make a trip west and returned
the latter part Of the week.
William a. Donnelly, the well known
traveller who boards at the Waldorf,
left early in the week for Devils Lake
on n Of his trips n win be in for
the Sunday meal at the hotel,
Today is known as Travellers day at
the Bismarck Industrial exposition, but
very few of the Fargo travellers made
the trip as they had other things to
attend to. among which Is the meeting
this evening.
At the recent meeting of Fargo
lodge of Elks which took place m
week ago this evening there were over
twenty travelling men, all members of
Fargo council SIS in attendance and
they had a great time.
The boys like to get out in the IA
try with their guns, and nearly every
member of IS is a crack shot.
Helmer Nelson, who represents a

frst-class and that it was increasing

w. III. Way was in over last sun
| day and attended Sunday school at the
Episcopal cathedral. There is some
hope for William vet. Since his little
adopted daughter has reached the city
Williams mind is turning to religious
matters with great rapidity. He says
business in the Nestor is all right.
Clint Smith. the big, fat, good-na-
tured salesman, was in the city a few
days ago and the boys of the Elks
shaking his hand. He hadn't been at
lodge meeting for many q day, but he
was none the less welcome.
Jim Helle's name hasn't been in the
papers for a long time, and some of
the boys were wondering what had be-
come OF him. Jim is all right says
business is good and that he Is able to
eat three squares a day without any
assistance.
ALI of the boys expect to put in
some mighty fine ticks for the cup
that will be awarded to the member
who secures the largest list Of new
members during Senior Counselor
Bishops term of office. 1t is a fine
cup and well worth going after.
Herb Mason has been in the city
for q day or two, and he reports that
business in his line is all the time look
ing up. Herb Is one of the regular
/ attendants at the travellers and Elks
meetings.
Frank Promo, whom many travellers
know, Is laid up in st. John hospital
| with q broken rib or two, but is get

Elliott.
When it comes to advertising SIS Joe
Purcell is on hand. He was the M
who introduced the resolution asking
for a committee to investigate the
question of permitting travlers to vote
wherever they might be on election
day, and that sure caused a good deal
of a notice for the local council. It
may take four or FIVE years TO get the
measure through to a law, but 1t is
hoped that some time it will be sue
cessful.
Bob Mcintyre, who konws as much
If not more about commercial travellers
than any one in the state, has penned
the following lines which he has dedi-
Gated to Bill Ringland, who stops at
the Keller & Boyd hotel:
