through perverted appetite, eating
foods that are lndigestible. the use OF
stimulants, drugs. narcotics, the hui

KEEP THEIR
TOWNS ON MAP
NORTH DAKOTA COMMERCIAL
CLUBS CONTINUE HuSTLING
METHODS 49, IMPROVED RAIL
ROAD SERVICE AND BETTER
FARMING PRINCIPAL PROJECTS.

Solution Of the home trading ques-
ton Is the work taken UP by the Devils
Lake Commercial club. and which it
anticipates carrying through to a sue
cetssful conclusion. AS q means of
placing their campaign before the resi-
dents of Devils Lake, and the lake reg
ion territory adjacent to that city, the
club has established several projects
which will be carried out. The Devils
Lake Commercial club also has taken
up the question of improved railroad
service. seeking to- secure better &C.
conmodations over the Great Northern
both to and from the twin cities,
or Duluth. On plan calls for the
extension Of the run of the Grand
Lake. while another contemplates the
extension Of the Duluth Grand Forks
night service to that city.
Park Rivers club has several ques-
tons for consideration this winter.
One of the first activities will be a
farmers institute. which will be held
early in the season. The feasibility Of
establishing an ornamental lighting
system and a sewer system also, are
being considered. while a movement
for better freight rates is being
pushed.
Northwood, Aneta, MayVille, Hatton,
Neville and other commercial clubs
OH the observation-disclosures line, and
on the Aneta-Devils Lake lines of the
Great Northern are seeking TO i'm
prove their railroad service, being
ments made necessary by the estab-
lishment of service over the New
Rockford line.
The Kenmare Commercial club has
concluded an interesting membership
contest in which the team c%aptained by
P. M. Clark was the victor, with TWEEN
W more members than the team led by
j. M. Robe.
A purse of $50 will be given by the
Northwood Commercial club toward the
maintenance of he state tuberculosis
sanitarium at Dunseith.
Ransom county boys, who made
such splendid snOwings in the corn
contest by the state Better
Farming association, were guests of the
Lisbon Commercial club a the regular
meeting and dinner, and r, S. Adams,
president of the club. took occasion
to heartily congratulate them on their
work, which has placed Ransom
ty on the maj SO deciSiVely. Prizes
also were presented to the lads.
The Aneta Commercial club held a
big banquet last night, marking the
formal opening Of the winters eason
OF work.
ILIhI L LII LloulI Is dltIdSlluS dtLeu
ton because Of its good rail facilities,
which have recently been increased by
the construction of a new road, is in
dicated by the fact that a large num-
Der of inquiries have been received
by the commercial club as to business
opportunities there. The club is taking
advantage of the opportunities at
forded to bring new people, and antici-
pates an increased population.
The Grand Forks COmmprcia1 cluh
anticipates that it will be able to soon
complete the organization Of an asso-
citation for the construction of a curl
ing rink. The enterprise will be placed
under way as soon as the necessary
capital is assured.

ment for the many visitors. Tho only
profit from the enterprise Is such as
comes through advertising and an ex-
ended trade during h week. 1t
speaks volumes for the public spirit
of the business men who each year
encourage the project with their lib
eral financial support.
Mitchell has a commercial club COM
posed of 800 booster business men,
who believe in doing things. Quite re-
Gently the city council set aside $5,-
900 for the clubs use in advertising
the city. Il. J.. Morgans was elected
secretary, and through his able lead
ership deals have already been made
that will greatly enlarge the city's
business activities.
The city Is fortunate in having a
thorough, practical business man for
its mayor. Progressive in all things
and with an indomitable will, Mayor
Hitchcock has done as much or posi-
bly, more, perhaps, for the city's ad-
Vancement than any other one man.
A democrat, he is elected term after
ter INTO succeed himself In a city that
Is overwhelmingly republican. Under
his guiding hand the city's sanitation
is we'll nigh perfect. Streets and al
leys are kept s~crupulously clean, cit
liens are encouraged in the general
scheme of identifying the city. It's
are carefully guarded and
all improvements are constructed in a
substantial manner.
What is the secret of Mitchelps
growth and prosperity? Aside from
her railroad facilities, she enjoys no
peculiar advantages unclaimed by the
numerous surrounding villages. She
has no water power, the country is no
richer in productive soil than other 10
calities enjoy, and Dame Nature has
favored her in no peculiar way. The
only answer to the question is found
in her citizenship. They have worked
hand in hand for the accomplishment
Of q common cause. without friction,
without strife, but with an abiding
faith in their future, they have labored
together in a hearty spirit of Coop
Grafton for its advancement. To them
all honor is due.

farmers with silos. Here, too, is the
home Of the Dakota metal granary.
