James Jeffries, former champion
heavyweight pugilist or the world,
thinks highly of Luther McCarty, who
is better known as Luck" among the
people of Fargo. Here is what he says
under his own signature:

makes his prospects brighter than or

VeIoped, so that much more improve

edges and make him a finished fighter.
HI handles himself well in action,
knows how to use his hands and does
not resort to swinging to any extent.
He is learning how to hit and is clever

now is to take care of himself, look
carefully to his health and not permit
anything to affect his constitution.
II do not know of a heavyweight

the club to carry on this work, and a
tentative suggestion, of a fair distri-
button of the financial burden among
the various affiliated bodies. The
amount, assessed against each body,
was then placed in the hands Of the
executive committeeman representing
that body, and. by him submitted to a
committee of that body who apportion.
ed the amounts to be assessed against
its individual members. The result Of
this labor was a budget assessment
against every business and profession
al man in Fargo. While this assess.
ment was a purely involuntary one,
yet 1T met with the instant approval Of
the great majority of our citizens as ia
evidenced by the splendid results re-
vealed in the budget statement herein
contained.
"A careful perusal Of the statement
of collections and a thoughtful study

any such remain, of the wisdom Of this
method of handling these affairs.

Is assured that, having subscribed to
the budget, he will not be annoyed by
constant solicitation for subscriptions
for this and the other convention or
publicity movement, but will, on the
other hand, know just what he is pay
ing per annum and just how the money
is being spent.
1.-THE conventions held in Fargo last
year as a result of the budget fund,
brought to Fargo more real money
many times over-than the money ex-
pended in their behalf insuring, to each
and every subscriber to the fund a
handsome dividend on his investment.
THE plans outlined by the club for
the current year embrace not only the
work of securing large and profitable
conventions for 1914, but an effort to
secure more favorable freight rates,
increased railroad service, new manu-
featuring and wholesale interests, good
roads, etc, etc. r
Encouraged by the result Of last
years work, your committee has de-
cided to ask you to continue your sup
port to the budget fund for 1913, be-
lieving that no argument further than
the annexed statement is necessary to
induce you to do So"

The next batter, Derby, hunted, and

Faatz also hunted and was safe, but

reading as follows:
Noticing your prayers for investors
in railroad securities, will you kindly
include investors in wheat for May
delivery both in Chicago and New
York; also investors in fax seed and
corn, thereby obliging several parties
interested in the above and who will
anxiously await results?"
