flee and it is hoped that all will be

for the meeting on this occasion and
1t is imperative that all be present.
1t is likely that what is done at the
meeting of Fargo Council u. C. r. will
be talked over at the meeting to-
morrow. According to different mem
bers of the committee everything IS
moving along nicely and there is every
reason for believing that Fargo will
send a very large delegation to the
Minnesota city by way of the autos.

emit things than any other form of
energy. 1t is the best disciplined
energy because it moves in an orderly
fashion and with lightning-like a p-
idity.
DR.. Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, pres
ident Of the Croker Wheeler Co.. has
said that the difference in the motion
of those two first cousins, heat and
electricity, is the difference between
a panic striker mob in a fire and the
fire drill in a public school by means
Of which a building is emptied Of
hundreds of students in less than five
minutes. DIR. Wheeler is responsible,
too for the expression: ELECTRICITY
is the tabloid of energy" 1t is as easy
to handle, he says, as extract OF beef.
Just add hot water n serve in the
first s. Just turn a switch and
be served in the second. 1t Is the
only form Of energy that can be stor-
ed in practical quantity and used
when wanted. Heat, for instance, is
rapidly dissipated. You can't get
horsepower without starting an engine
or a horse, but o a keep kilo-
watts in a storage battery by con-
verting them into chemical energy
and hold them in a glass jar for a
long period of time with little de-
terioration. Why is the public, which
spends $500, 00O, 900 a year, directly
and indirectly, on electric machinery
and a like amoun on current, so de-
vastatingly ignorant of the most
simple fundamental facts in regard
to It? ~-

city and they take the trouble on each
and every occasion to give Fargo a
boost. 1t is easy If everybody would
bear in mind all the time the slogan
of Fargo goods for Fargo people, to
boost the manufacturers of the city
and the wonder to me'is that it wasn't
tried long ago.
1.-THE merchants and manufacturers
are all feeling the campaign and it is
the average man who keeps house in
to the habit of calling for goods made
at home and it gets him into the idea
of helping his neighbors and thus
helping himself. 1t is the right kind
of a spirit to show.
81 was talking to of the travel
ing men who ives in Fargo a few
days ago and he told me that he had
personally heard several travelling
men, men who did not live in Fargo,
advising merchants to buy Fargo
made goods when they wanted any
thing in the line that was being talk
ed about. He said that he heard one
man telling a retail dealer that there
was nothing under the sun that would
SO help the entire state of North Da-
kota as a campaign like this, which
would make every man feel that every
other man was willing to help him
along in the game of life and bust
ness.
Fargo, I am told, has between 700
and 500 travelling men who actually
make this city their headquarters,
quite an army to send out over the
state boosting and nearly all of them
are doing it all the time. 1t speaks
well for a city when the travelling
men who live in it are all proclaiming
it's virtues and the good quality of
it's goods wherever they go. 1t shows
that they have confidence in their
town; that they want to see it go
ahead, and that they are willing to
say a good word in the right direc-
ton.
81 see that the Fargo council of the
travellers is making arrangements to
go to Crookston to the grand council
meeting June next in style and 1 hope
that we will, before that time,
secure something that they can take
along with them for distribution that
will be some advertisement for the
city. They should be encouraged in
their scheme for making the trip to
the Minnesota city in automobiles and
we will do all we can to help the auto
train along"

TRAVELLERS ALL
BOOST FOR FARGO
SECRETARY HARDY OF THE CON-
MERcIAL CLUB HAS BEEN
HEARING OF SOME OF THE
GOOD WORK THAT is DONE BY
MEMBERS OF 65 AND OTHERS.

The travelling men who run out of
Fargo are thoroughly in earnest in re-
gard to Fargo goods for Fargo
people," said Secretary Hardy to The
Forum.
Il have been hearing very good re-
Forts concerning the knights of the
grip as they go to and fro over the
state. They advise the merchants
everywhere to patronize Fargo made
goods when needing anything in the
line that is made in this city. If
some one wants goods that are not
made in Fargo and are made some
where else in the state, they are adj
vised to take them in preference to
articles made outside of North Da-
kota.
81 am told that even the commercial
men who travel for houses outside of
the state advise the merchants to buy
North Dakota goods when they (the
salesmen) cannot supply what is
wanted. Fargo travelling men and
by that is meant those who live in
the city are very loyal to their home

couple and these are now in the hands
or the committee, which hopes to dis
pose of a large number of them. Each
additional lady will cost so cents for

on that occasion will be an elaborate

Cold Slaw Dill Pickles
Roast Turkey with Dressing
Cranberry Jelly
Beet and Egg Salad
Mashed Potatoes
Hot Cross Rolls
Parker House Rolls
Vienna Rolls
Ice Cream
Assorted Cakes M~acaroons
Coffee
The committee of arrangements will
leave nothing undone towards giving
the guests at the reception the very
best kind of a time. The knights of
Columbus hall has been engaged and
he best music in the city will be en-
gagged.

THE MYSTERY OF kILoWATTI

Electrical News Bureau: What is
there about a kilowatt that so mysti-
fies the average citizen, OF about a
kiIowatt-hour that reduces him to a
state of incoherence? The gas meter
has long been an object of suspicion,
but in spite of its innate d~epravity
men assume to understand 1t and oc-
c~asionaIIy dispute It's verdicts. But a
wattmeter! How often have you heard
one of the hundreds of thousands OF
users of electric current casually tell
another how much each kiloWatt-hour
is costing him? He knows in New
York that a cubic foot of gas costs
him so cents. He knows how much
a week he pays his maid. But he
doesn't know how much ar hour he
lis paying that other servant-electric-
ity, and he doesn't. know how he can
check up the question, whether he Is
getting what he pays for. At best he
knows that his electric bills are about
so much a month.
Electricity has often been called the
universal servant. 1T lis more than
that. 1t is the tabloid Of energy. 1t
is the most refined and condensed
form OF energy, and therefore is
available to be applied to more differ
