JUST SCADS Of
VOCAL TALENT
SECRETARY HOLBEIN THINKS
THE NORTH DAKOTA scRIBEs
KNOW HOW TO SING.

"Believing that there are scads Of
vocal talent among the members of the
North Dakota Press association,' says
Secretary w. E. Holbein of the North
Dakota Press association, in !, commun-
ication which he addresses to every
member Of the organization, "I take
this means of finding out just how
much there is.''
Now Secretary Holbein doesn't tell
why he wants to know. He has fur
nished every member of the associa.
tion with a blank, and he has the i'm.
pertinence to ask thereon, edo you
sing9'
About a half dozen Of those cards
reached Devils Lake addressed to local
members. Tonight about six cards will
be mailed out Of this city, and it is a
ten to one bet that at least five of
them will carry back the word eyes
And then ther,'ll be som, anxious
waiting, and probably after while Sec
retary Holbein will send back the or
der to "Tune up for the Minot meet
i%."
In fact, the secretary lets the mem
bers of the association in on his dea
when he gives them vote on th'
questions: edo you favor grant
chorus for the summer meeting7'
And the secretary isn't partial. H
doesn It care if the association membe
isn't singer, as long as his wife, i
he has one, can sing.
If she can sing, so much the better
She will be declared eligible for mem
bership in the grand chorus aforesaid
There are, just now, about $50 edit
ors in North Dakota, who would b.
eligible for membership on such a chor
us and Secretary Holbein is confiden
that he will receive at least 440 favor
able responses to his query. And tha
means there will be chorus.
