not 10 be confined to our agricultural
products. Our deposits il lignite coal
and the suitable clay for brick and pot
terry are going to mean something in
the future. Perhaps somebody will find
the right way to use the coal in order to
get out of it what we should.
Sometimes we speak about the women
going to join the Commercial Club. 1t
would be good idea. After all, per-
haps. back of all the attainments of
the men. there is; woman in the home
who runs things Here the Governor
told story Of a minister in small
town. He was receiving very small
salary and was finally offered much
better place and substantial raise in
his salary. While he was considering
the matter neighbor stepped in to see
whether or not he intended to accept
the offer. He knocked and the minis
ter's boy came to the door. On being
asked if,his father intended to accept
the position and move. the boy said:
Father is upstairs praying for eHi-
dance in the matter; but mother is in
the next room packing up. so I gzess
we will move. . We may be like che
minister. praying for guidance. and
perhaps, after all tits our wives and
sweethearts that direct our movements.
I am surprised that you all don't be-
long to the commercial club. There are
but few business men in Fargo who do
not belong to our commercial club. Every
body ought to join; it isn't compe-
tition but cooperation that builds up
community and a city. Every man in
Dickinson should get behind the presi@
dent and secretary OF the club. When
you get every man, and incidentally
every woman. back of the Dickinson
commercial CLUB. it will be success.
Dickinson needs more railroads. 1
talked with man today who said that
another railroad would be a detriment
to Dickinson. He stated that small
towns would spring up around and take
the business from Dickinson. That
man was mistaken. Look at Fargo we
do not get much Grain there. the small
towns around us get it. but we get the
money. fhe people come to Fargo to
Fepend their money and we would eather
have it. than grain. The theory is al
ways the same. The large places are
held up more or less by the smaller ones
iastead of hindered. TwentyrHailroads
would make business much better. t0ne
railroad doesn't make for a town. If
the men of Dickinson can get their new
Fraikoad project into an actual success
they will bave helped the1town very
materially.
Men have done we'll in North Dakota.
1T hasn't used any of US very sba4ly.
Our: piCneers were men without much
money but they had good health and
good. habits :, these they profited by and
stuck by North Dakota and she has been
kind to her citizens. We shonld all Do
