CONTESTS STARTS
FOR Y. NJ. c. A.
BIG BANQUET OPENING GUN
WHICH WILL SHOOT GRAND
FORKS AND JAMESTOWN OUT
OF THE BUSINESS AND GIVE
ALL HoNoRs TO FARGO.

Fifty members of the Y. M. C. A.
met last evening around the banquet
board in the association building to
get a good start on the campaign that
is going on for new members in
a contest in which Grand Forks has
challenged Fargo and jamestown.
The fifty men represented the diff
ferent departments and classes of the
< who will have charge of the work
during the contest period. While the
battle is on now, the big rally time
is the period between Jan. % and
Feb. 4. On the first date mentioned
the boys must give the result of so
per cent of the work they have done
at that time and this report will be
SEM to the Forks as well as to
Jamestown. Fargo now has a mem
bership of 900 and it is hoped to in
crease that by 800.
In addition to the membership cam
paign there are to be athletic con-
tests between the three cities and
these will also count in the number
total of the points that can be made.
President Emery had charge of the
meeting with the assistance of Sec
rotary Wolf and after the very ex-
cellent dinner that was prepared by
the ladies' auxiliary had been served
and grace by III. j. Kenner. the presi-
dent of the association made a short
talk in which he rehearsed IN a man
ner some Of the things that the ""Y'
had done in this city. He said that
the business men were back Of the
association in every way, that they
took IN interest in it, and he believed
the men present could easily defeat
the two cities In the contest and
particularly Grand Forks. He wished
Fargo all success possible.
Secretary Wolf outlined the plan of
procedure and handed out printed
matter which will be distributed over
the city, together with cards which
will enable the holders to present I'd
prospective members the privileges
of the ~" for a short time.
Every man present was called on
and each and every one expressed
himself as determined to get the most
U of his division possible. Each
head present will urge the members
of his, class or gym team to get busy
at once with a view to beating the
other two cities. 1t was decided to
have a special committee select the
athletic team which Will represent
Fargo in the contests in that line.
The banquet was a very pleasant af-
fair and the boys will all start to
work with a vim.
Al committee will prepare proper
defis which will be sent to the Forks
and jamestown in regard to the chal-
lenge which was issued by the form :
err town and which has been form
ally accepted by the others.

the prevalence of the loan shark evil
in Georgia and the crying need o;

and unfortunate from this species O.
oppression.

who showed in the Fulton superior
that he had paid the loan sharks over
81 coo. Of usurious interest, on an
original loan of $3.50 and that he still
owed the principal
The editorial says in conclusion,
MANY years ago there was a law on
the statute books which provided that
where usury as chargot the entire
debt should be forfeited, and if the
legislature will re-enact this law, and
provide in addition, that the loan
shark must serve a sentence on the
chaineang, this wicked traffic will be
speedily broken up.
