MAKE RETORTS
HAVE A LITTLE TILT AT A.
MEETING OF THE FARGO couN-
Cit MUCH TO THE ENJOYMENT
or THE MEMBERS AND THE
SENIOR couNclLoR Willis.

Once in a great while the meetings
of the Fargo council of the United
Commercial Travellers are enlivened by
some passages at arms between Senior
Councillor Bishop and Tom Dunn, the
aged but dlminuitive secretary of the
organization, and they provoke laugh
ter, for the two are like brothers when
it comes down TO the fine points.
At the last meeting the senior coun-
selor remarked that he kind of thought
the secretary should collect more Of
the dues or assessments from the boys,
w~hereupon Mr.. Dunn at once retorted
that he was no highway robber and he
didn't propose to go after the delin-
quent members with a gun. and he
said some other sarcastic things that
made the hairs on the head OF Mr..
Bishop begin to curl and he relieved
his mind in a few well chosen but
highly explosive words.
Secretary Dunn didn't say a word
for as much as one minute after the
presiding officer had concluded and
then he slowly arose and asked and re-
ceived permission to reply.
Il just want to say said Mr.. Dunn
with a flourish of his arms, that when
Dish was a little boy he remarked
that he'd eat his shirt il what he was
telling wasn't the truth and ever since
that time right up to this minute he
has been chewing the rag" and the
senior councillor never uttered a grunt.

The annual ball and reception of
the Fargo council No. 65 of the Unit
cd Commercial Travellers which vas
announced for the evening Of Jan. so
has been postponed and viii not be
held until the first Friday night aft
err Easter Sunday.
The postponement was caused by
the fact that Columbus hail is engag
er for almost every night until the
lenten season begins. and the mem-
hers OF S. were fearful thai the
dances were crowding in too rapidly
TO permit OF their having the sue
cessfm reception that they expect.
The senior Counselor. III. Bishop.
has appointed the following commit
tee which viii have charge of ali of
the arrangements for the ball: David
Dinan, chairman and Charles Blakes-
lee w. ID. Hatch and "A. T. Wright.
1t is stated that every u. C. IT., his
wife, sister and daughter or sweet
heart is expected to be present at
this ball. for the date is SO far ahead
that it can be kept in mind, SO that
nothing else need interfere.

TOO MUCH SHOW FOR BUSINESS.
rs THE coMPLAINT-FARMERs
HELD THE BOARDS FOR THE
PAST WEEK AND LABOR BACKS
OUT OF LlMELlGHT.

This has been a very quiet week in
the labor circles Of Fargo, but there
has been much else going on in the
city that interests the average work.
man as well as other citizens,
The one little piece of news in la
Dor circles is that OF the appointment
of r. w. Drummond to tine position
Of doofkeeper at the state capitol. due
to the activities OF the representa-
tiyes from this district on the strength
of the endorsement that Mr.. Drum
mond had received here from the
unions.
Mr.. Drummond Is a pressman whose
eyesight is failing and the position
will be a good one for him and one in
which he will make good.
But IL labor circles have been quiet
not so other activities in the city. The
Tri-State Grain Growers have been
holding their annual convention, a
corn show. poultry show, kennel show,
home manufacturers display and
many other meetings have been held

of the best men in the state. Presi-
dent Worst of the A. O., speaking to
the grain growers advised smaller
farms and more diversified farming
and called attention to the shortcom-
ings of transient laborers. The labor
question is indeed an important one
IN this great state and the farmers
are certainly entitled to some meas
ures that will secure the needed men
in the state for harvesting and thresh-
ing.
This year the farmers suffered Sc
verely from lack Of help and OF help
leaving the state when most needed
with the result that many thousands
Of acres were left unthreshed in the
fields.
The farmers could do well for them
selves by getting in touch with union
labor. Owing to the lurid headlines
in the daily press the farming element
has received an erroneous impression
of union labor men. The facts are
that the interests Of the farmer and
the union labor men run in the same
direction and certain easur viii

between the two will settle many
vexed questions.
