Matters Wsre Taken Up
Directors Elected.
DIRECTORS FOR 1913

Breckenridge-one year term;

More than fifty members of the
Twin City Business Mems assoc
iation attended the annual meet
ing of that organization at the
Wahpeton Commercial club last
night. In addition to electing the
above directors the memebers al
so heard the reports of officers
and discussed plans for the en-
suing year.
The reports of the treasurer
and secretary showed that the
association is in a very flourish
ing condition. Several new men,
bers have been added to the roll
during the past few months and
at present almost every merchant
in Wahpeton and Breckenride
is member.
One of the matters to be taken
up within the next month is the
Inauguration of a membership
campaign among merchants out
side the Twin Cities, and in the
counties of Richland and Wilkln.
The proper regulation of trans
cient merchants was the topic of
a prolonged discussion. A reso-
luton was adopted favoring the
passage of ordinances in Wah-
peton and Breckenridge, which
will impose a license fee of a,
| least SO day on this class OF
merchants.
People who patronized these
peddlers were also roundly scor-
ed for their lack of loyalty to the
home merchants. 1t was decided
to compile list of all persons
who are known to be regular pat.
rons of certain transient mer-
chant who has solicited orders
in this city for some time past
and to report the same to the
members. This will be followed
by window display of these par
ticular goods and a personal an
nouncement of the persons listed
| calling attention to the fact thai
they can buy these goods in Wah-
peton just as cheap as they car
elsewhere.
''When it is found necessar,
or desirable to raise money by
subscription, for a White Way ol
Meridian road, the merchants arc
never overlooked. But some OF
these same solicitors forget all
about us when they happen to
need anything i'm our line" saiC
'one of the merchants last night
''They buy goods from tran.
cient whose only interest in the
city is to get as much money out
Of it as possible. These trans
cient merchants pay no taxes and
donate nothing to public enter
prises. They pay no rent, carry
no insurance and employ no help
but they are encouraged flnan-
cially to remain here and compete
with our merchants"
Mail order house patrons will
also be watched and an attempt
will be made to discourage them
from spending their money out
side the cities. 1t was pointed aul
that service and satisfaction were
two assets which ought to be con-
sidered by purchasers, and that
these assets are offered as induce
ments by local merchants but not
by mail order concerns.

GREAT PROGRAMS \
FOR CHAUTAUQUA.
Five Lively Days orammed Full
Of Keen Delights for Al
vvho Attend.

It is only little while now un-
til the Chautauqua opens. A pro-
gram Of unusual merit has been
arranged. These have not been
fashioned for any one particular
set of people, but there will be
found much that will please all
legitimate tastes.
There will be fine assortment
of high grade music. Victor's
Italian band. the Mendelssohn
quartet, H. Ruthven Mcdonald,
Dunbar singing orchestra and the
Lilliputian entertainers will fur
nish variety and amusement ga
lore. 1t will be a regular musi-
cal and entertainment festival
from first to last.
Victor's Italian band is made up
of twenty Italian players who
never did anything in their lives
but study music. The result is a
band Of the very first grade that
will be a revelation to most peL-
pie. 1t plays the greatest selec-
tions from the olu masters, but
its responses are generally mod
ern effusions of a very popular
type.
The Dunbar singing orchestra
is a seXtet of lady entertainers
who sing beautifully and double
in brass. Their music is popu-
lar, and they introduce the action
feature that animates and thrills.
The Mendelssohn male quartet, a
snappy and versatile bunch of
musical entertainers; H. Ruthven
Mcdonald, the famous Canadian
baritone, and the Lilliputian en-
tertainers finish out program
of musical excellence that will set
a new pace.
Governor Robert 8 S.1aNessey-,af
South Dakota will deliver an ad-
dress. He is a live wire who has
done things and is qualified to
speak with authority. Chaplain
Lougher, the ''Whirlwind Of
Welsh Oratory," will deliver his
address on a Thousand Million
Men," He travelled 10000 miles
to get the materials for this lee
ture. Albert l.. Blair, the Boston
Journalist will discuss the mod
ern newspaper in its relations to
human life, and George r.. Laird,
the authority on George Wash
ington, will speak of the message
that great life has for the twen-
tieth century.
One of the big features of the
program will be the illustrated
lecture by Hon. Arthur X. Beck,
on the work of the government
life saving service. With beau
tifully colored slides and motion
pictures he will throw upon the
screen real scenes from life in
ocean storms. This lecture is
most thrilling and instructive.
Then there are the Floyds.
Floyd and Mahala, magicians
and prestidigitators of first rank,
have a wonderful program. They
carry thousands of dollars worth
of baggage and have a most fas-
cinating array Of magic tricks
full of mystery. 1t will be one
of the big features of the Chau-
tauqua.
The children are not to be for
gotten. Ample provision will be
made for their entertainment
and instruction. Under the direc
ton of a competent directress the
Seton Indian work will be put on.
Jaunts will be taken. wigwams

PENNSY TO
PAY MEN TWICE
EVERY MONTH

HARRISBURG. Pa, May 19.-Offi-
cial announcement was made yester-
day by the Pennsylvania railroad that
II would comply with the semi-month-
ly pay bill recently approved by Gov
ernor Tener. This bill will take effect
on July 1, and all men employed in
the service of the Pennsylvania rail-
road in this State will receive their
pay twice a month The bills have
already been received upon which the
time of the men will be made out, but
the date upon which the days they
will pay have not yet been set. This
notice was given out at the office of
superintendent McCaleb,
At present it takes the company
six days to pay off the men and the
additional day will mean a period of at
least twenve days to the company to
pay off all the employees. To make out
this pay roll will also mean an in
crease in work and it is expected that
additional help will be needed as 1t
keeps the present force busy making
il up.
The news of this was favorably re-
ceived by the greater majority of the
employees, although some are just as
well satisfied under the old rule of
once a month. The merchants Of the
city expressed satisfaction when an
ncuncemtnt of it was made.
No reports of the change have yet
been received by the officials of the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad.
At first reports we're out that the
company would fall back upon the
constitutional rights of the men, that
is to discharge all the employees and
rehire them back under new contracts
to be paid every thirty or thirty-one
days Two other courses we're also
open-one was to contest the consti-
tutionality of the law. or to adopt this
bill as it stands, the latter having been
complied with.

is an extract from his latest volume,

given by Shaw's old English gentle
man to his son? Note the frankness,
likewise the hypocrisy and SNUG COM

"The laboring mans supply OF

cause he may not be content to drink
in moderation and therefore should

we should keep at our home or the
club such spirituous consolation as
we require, because the terrible ner-
vous strains that the finely consti-

born people are subjected to, require
stimulant or sedative, rather than

Jonesboro, Ark-"I suffered a COM

place. II was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, got bottle Of Cardui. It
did me so much good, l was surprised,
and took some more.
Before took Cardui, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes 1 would

and can do all kinds Of housework.

earth"
In the past fifty years, thousands Of
ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardui.
Such testimony, from earnest women.
surely indicates the great value OF this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar .

IN SOCIETY
By Mary Gwynn Whteman Telephone l42

Die as the rose she gave must die
The path which had been bright be-
fore,
When l had blithely gone to her,
Was dark; the branches bending o'er
Possessed their former grace no
more,
And not a songster was astir.
My heart was broken yesterday
By one who flung a rose to me;
But yesterday is far away.
And all the future is to be!
Another sweetly listened while
l fingered with her TO complain,
And sympathy was in her smile;
The past is yonder many a mile,
My eager heart is whole again.
