Knights Of the Grip

mobile committee of the Fargo council
Of the United Commercial Travellers
has called a meeting of his committee
for tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
and the place will be The Forum office.
The members Of the committee are, in
addition to Mr.. Dotson, the following:
Frank Ashelman, S. G. Mumma, Mike
Feckler, W. d. Hatch. Frank McKone,
John McGrann, Col. Tom Hughes, Da-
vid Oman, Charles Baker, William e.
Hunt, Hector Barnes, Charles Owen
and Dick Conover. 1t is hoped that
every n will be on hand at the hour
named.
Joe Rolfe, once an actor, is now a
hotel clerk, having been appointed to
that position by Messrs. Keller e. Boyd
of the new Annex. and he has occupied
that position for just one week.. This
beats staging said Joe. IT'S more
comfortable to see the feeds right in
front Of you than to be all the time
chasing it on the stage. Food is some
times elusive when you are a play
actor " he continued and as 1 sized
up the situation it seemed to me that
a meal in hand was a cussed sight bet
ter than one to get. Amen"
A great deal of credit is being given
to Charles Blakeslee, w. D. Hatch and
Lawrence Wright for the very nice
entertainment given last Saturday
night, as they secured the performers,
Mr.. Blakeslee devoting a great deal
of attention to the matter. 1t was a
fine affair and the next n will have
to go some to beat it.

the implement dealers on Wednesday
night when he had them all at the
Gardner for a fine banquet, and Man
ager Leimbacher did himself and the
hotel proud for his fine work in the
culinary line. 1t was a nicely arrang-
ed compliment to the visitors.
|. Harry Horwitz has the thanks of
the travellers editor for courtesies ex-
tended which were pleasant. Harry is
about the only one of the boys who
ever sends in an item of news.
The travellers in the implement line
gave the dealers plenty of fun up to the
Sons of Norway hall on Thursday eve
ming after the smoker at the CONNER
cial club, putting on a stunt showing
the difference between the old time
traveller and the one of the present
day, in which the latter shone like a
greenbay tree over the old timers.
Let every member of the automobile
committee trip to Crookston be on
hand at the meeting which will be held
at The Forum office tomorrow as the
project will be explained by the chair
man.

down the situation ever since A. H.
Leimbacher came to this city. Mr.
Mcintyre has been here since the mem
DRY of man runneth not back to the
contrary mt those who saw him
several decades ago say that there
hasn't been a change that is anywhere
manifest.
John Forth is about the most regu-
lar attendant at the meetings. He and
Tom Dunn are always on hand and
they appear to enjoy all that takes
place. "Bish" is another of the old
~standbys. There are plenty of inter
esting events at each and every meet
ing and it is a pleasure to attend them.
The next meeting of the Fargo
council will take place on Saturday
evening, March 1, and unless the plans
are changed it will be a quiet he.
The owners Of the Waldorf, Messrs.
Keller g. Boyd, are kept pretty busy
just now in running the hotel as we'll
as managing the Annex, but they like
to work and are making good with
both houses.
Harry Letford Of the Prescott ho-
tel has decided to go after banquets
and partieS-that is he means to en-
deavor to get the contracts for serv-
ing the dinners. He made good with
the travellers at the last ladies' night
entertainment.
The moral support of the order has
been given to the Gideons in ~recogni-
ton of the good work in which that So
ciety is engaged for h uplift of man
kind.
Col. Tom Hughes has been exceed
ingly conspicuous by his absence from
the council meeting for some time
and the same might be said of Will
liam "BiIl" Grasse. Why is it thusly1
William 'BilT' Ringland showed up al
the last meeting and he gave an excuse
for not attending the other meetings
that he was out Of town which is a
pretty fair reason.
Several of the members of Fargo
council have been at Bismarck the
past week hooking after legislation in
which the travellers as a whole are in
terested. Colonel Hughes, Chaplain
