and then ordered it filed. In other cit

become a charter member. In other
states leagues of municipalities have
proven Ito be very valuable in many
way to city officers and city coun-

be held at Minneapolis, Aug. 81, and
at least one delegate ought to be sent
from Moorhead, one of the officers or
the mayor.
