AUTO SHOW
DATES DECIDED
THIRD ANNUAL SHOW UNDER
AUSPICES OF DEALERS TO
Re HELD IN GRAND FORKS

February 1S, 10, 20 and 81 have been
set as dates for North Dakota's third
annual automobile show, to be given
under the auspices Of the Grand Forks
Automobile Dealers Association. The
show this year promises to be un-
usually successful both from the In
terest taken by dealers in North Dak-
ota and outside the state and the gen
eral public.
Grand Forks is fortunate in having
an auditorium that is admirably suit
ed for an automobile show. The build
ing has II ,44O square feet of floor space
with an immense gallery A splen-
did program of music is planned for
the entire four days Of the show. The
closing night has always been one OF
the society events of the year, and
this year will be no exception. Buyers
are more and more getting in the
habit of attending automobile shows
because no other way can they see
and compare the various makes OF
automobiles. It is worth while for
man who intends purchasing an auto
to visit an automobile show.

ELIAS DAY
CHARACTERIST
THE NEXT NUMBER ON THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB COURSE
SPLENDID OFFERING

The next number on the Commercial
Club Lyceum course will be slias Day
Characterist, on Monday evening, jan
uary 9Th, at the Gates Hall. THIS
number without doubt is one OF the
best on the entire program.
The entertainment of Mr.. Days is
a new idea and an advance along
purely Lyceum lines. It is Elias Day
in the fullness if his art and exper.
ience.
During the past year the Lyceum
workers have remarked and com
mented on the wonderful art display
ed by this artist in his lectures and
talks before their conventions. II
seemed that a new Elias Day had
sprung into being. 1t was not a
new Day; but the growth of Lyceum
ideals has at last unbandaged the
ewes to the truth of the great facts
he has for years advocated and fought
for. And now, his new entertain.
ment is again ahead.
It is not generally known that Mr.
Day is an author as well as an en-
tertainer. All Of his sketches are
children of his own brain, and two Of
them are now published: Danny
and the famous Kentucky Colonel
sketch, "Going Home" Some new
ones are added this year, notably, Den
mis- Mccarthy on "Ancient History
All Of these sketches will be done II
Costume, and the changing OF cos
tunes is real novelty; no long
tedious waits, but with rapidity that
is novel and interesting.
Mr.. Day is, this year, more thar
ever, featuring the entertainment SIDE
Of his work. Something for every
body in his aim, and he is succeed
ing.

TREASURERS ......
HOLD OVER
NEW NORTH DAKOTA LAW
CHANGING OFFICERS TERMS
CAUSES NO CONFUSION

Because the last legislature changed
the date On which county treasurers
begin their terms there is to be no
confusion over who will handle the
county cash in the interim. The new
law does not this year affect treas
urers who were reelected. It can only
apply to those who have already serv-
ed two terms.
The treasurers are limited to two
terms and some people contended they
would be unable to serve for the extra
four months. There is, however, q
general provision in the North OAK
ota laws that all officials hold over till
their successors can qualify, and this
will cover the present situation. The
rgth Of service of the retiring treas
urers, even if it is more than four
wears, is still only two terms, as the
length of the terms has been extended.
The change in the date of assuming
the duties of the Office Of treasurer
was made to give the retiring officials
an opportunity to clear up the tax
business. Under the old law the Off
cials began their work on Jan. !,
which was right in the middle OF the
busiest period of the year for the
treasurers. AS a result many mex
perienced men were unable to prop
erly handle the work until they were
able to familiarize themselves with
the details.

A BIG AID FOR
WILLISTON
STORY OF GRAIN MARKET HERE
CAUSES WIDE COMMENT
OVER STATE

The story about the large amount OF
grain marketed, and to be marketed
at Williston this year, published in
to be a big ad for Williston. Nearly
the local papers recently, has proved
every paper in the state has COM
mented on the facts given in the ar
ticle. and Williston has also received
a great deal Of publicity in other
states. Statements made regarding
the amount to be marketed here are
being substantiated every day by the
receipts. Grain eis coming IN no"
rapidly from Mckenzie county, as the
farmers are able to cross on the ice.

CLUB IDEA
GROWING
NUMBER OF FARMERS CLUBS
BEING ORGANIZED ABOUT
THE STATE

Fifty Farmers' clubs have already
been organized under the direction Of
the Better Farming Association In
the short time the movement has been
carried on. According to reports re-
ceived by the Special Service Bureau
at Grand Forks fully twice that num-
ber of clubs are lined up and will be
Aganized within the course Of few
Fweeks. One of the pleasing features
& of the situation is the fact that bust
ness men of the various towns are CO.
operating enthusiastically in helping
the movement along, and the last
county to join the association now has
three Farmers clubs at work.
The farmers of Hillsdale township
in Wells County organized an active
club last week with a membership of
twelve families. A movement for the
Improvement of the stock in the
neighborhood is one of the features cf
the work there. A breeding circuit
has been organized, and creamery
is planned as soon as dairy interest
in the community warrant the move.
The fifteen clubs in Bottineau County
and twelve in Cavalier County are
taking great interest in dalrylng,
among other things, two carloads OF
Holsteins having just arrived in Bot
tineau County. In Ward County a
COW testing association commands
!. much interest. At Ingster, in Grand
1Grks County, a colt show will be
feature of the clubs activities. Hogs
and hog production, alfalfa, etc., are
among the activities of the Stutsman
County and other clubs.
At all the clubs not only the men,
but the women get together to discuss
the problems confronting them. Forms
of programs and other suggestions
are furnished with view to making
them interesting and profitable to the
members Of each particular commun-
ity.
Every community should organize
a Farmers Club. It means better
farming, development Of the commun-
ity, improved social conditions and the
best way to get the farmers and bus
mess men together, which eventually
results in financial betterment. The
present interest indicates that there
will be at least two hundred active
Farmers clubs in North Dakota be-
fore the end of the winter, and the
great amount of good done by the as
sociation cannot be estimated.

Making History

Monday, December 23rd, was his
tory-making day for Wiliston insofar
as the grain market is concerned, for
on that day 694 loads of grain were
marketed at the local elevators. These
694 loads aggregated 40.25O bushels
of grain dumped into the elevators.
This amount of grain was actually
marketed, and the amount that came
in and was not unloaded till Tuesday
could not be ascertained.
Mckenzie County
Mckenzie county is coming forward
now with almost continuous stream
of grain to Wiliston. The river is
frozen sufficiently to allow crossing
with teams near here and it is estl-
mated that as much as three hundred
loads, and perhaps more, are coming
in from this source every day. This
will continue for some time, as only
couple of weeks ago, the estimate
was that not one third of the grain
from this source had been marketed.
Authentic Figures @
These figures were obtained from
the elevators and are authentic in
every particular. This amount of
course included all classes of grain,
wheat, flax and barley. Wheat was
selling at 66 cents and flax at $1.O4.
Conservative estimates are to the ef-
feet that about $4,000 was distributed
for grain in this one day. Few stor-

Previous Record
Another record day for the Willis
ton market was made some time ago
when over 400 loads were marketed,
but last Monday surpassed all record
days in the history of the city. The
excellent weather and fine roads af-
forded the farmers the double oppor-
tunity of marketing their grain and
also coming to town to do their
Christmas shopping in many in
stances.
Streets Crowded
The large number of teams in the
city caused congestion in the streets
in many places Besides the many
wagons which brought in grain, there
were many others coming in to
trade at the local stores. A visit
to the stores about the city revealed
a very encouraging condition. They
were all busy waiting on customers,
who were purchasing Christmas goods
as we'll as the more substantial things
for use. There were more people in
the city than on any previous business
day.

The city is now using electricity

light all day Thursday, while the
change was being made to the new
system. 1t was at first thought that
the lights would be off a couple of
days while the change was being
made, but the connections were made
in one day and the lights were on in
good time Thursday evening. The
service has been very much improved
as result of the new arrangement.
This is something of boss-ridden

afternoon is to write out list OF those
who you think can manage you.

RETIRES FROM

F. NJ. Bostworth, who has served
the local Y. NJ. c. A. so faithfully and
well for the past several years, ten
dered his resignation to the board of
directors yesterday, to take effect
/ September l. Prior to coming to Sa-
( lem Mr. Botsworth filled similar posi-
tions in California, where he will re-
turn, but he has not definitely de-
cided what line Of work he will en-
gage in. More than likely he will con-
tinue the work Of the upbuilding of
the young men. No arrangements have
been made so far to secure a successor
for the retiring secretary, as his re-
tirement came as a distinct surprise
to the board, as well as all the mem
bers Of the association.
Mr.. Botsworth will be greatly
missed from the association, and his
separation from the services of the
Salem organization will be greatly de-
plored by all its members as well by
large number of the citizens Of the
city However, If the retiring leader
| Of this association can secure a larger
field for his services it is the hope of
those interested in him that he may
succeed in his new field of operations.
