is nearly if not quite all connected
with the order and Grand Master Car
mody appointed the committees such
as credentials, to audit reports and 10
other routine work, and these COM
mitteeS will report late this afternoon
or this morning. The executive conf
mittee held a meeting during this noon
hour at the Waldorf hotel, where the
board had dinner together. Much Of
the business that is to be transacted
is being done by the committees and
several Of the rooms in the temple
have been put into use for this pur-
pose. The greater number of the
grand lodge officers mentioned in the
report of this paper yesterday are
present and taking an active part in
the deliberations.
The Social This Evening.
At 8 o'clock this evening the annual
social meeting for the members Of the
A. o. u. w. and the ladies' order, The
Degree of Honor, together with local
members and their ladies will meet in
the assembly hall, and they will listen
to an address of welcome on the part
of the city by President Emery of the
commission and another address of
welcome by J, P. Hardy, representing
the commercial club. Then will fol-
low an address by Supreme Master
Workman NarVluS and several
others. Following this will come dane
ing and it is hoped that there will be
q large number of local members and
their ladies on hand, for it is hoped
to make this very pleasant affair.
In all there are nearly 200 members
attending the grand lodge of the A.
o. U. w. and they appear to be very
much pleased with all the arrange
ments. Each one of the thirteen lodges
in Montana is represented and it is
stated that there is every reason for
believing that there will be some new
lodges organized in that state in the
near future.
Prominent State Members.
Among those who are attending the
meeting as a delegate is r. A. Nestos
Of Minot, states attorney of Ward
county, and he is one Of the best post
ed men in attendance at the grand
lodge meeting. He is one of the
prominent men of the state and has
aided The Forum reporter to a con-
siderable extent in reporting the do
ings Of the meeting. Mr.. Nestos is a.
member of the Sons of Norway and
during the big convention that was
held here some time ago he was ask
ed to furnish the newspapers with the
very excellent reports which were
given.

MOVING
PICTURES
OF FARGO
Fargo theatrical Co. Has Made
the Arrangements
Two Big Parades VIII Be Pre-
served on Films
These Pictures Will Be Shown
All Over the Couatry

Fargo is to be properly pictured dur
ing the home coming of the Masonic
fraterniE.
George Fowler, president of the
Fargo Theatrical Co, managing the
Orpheum and the Grand theatres, has
entered into a contract with the
Lakmme Film Co, for coninp here for,
the purpose of taking moving films of
the Shriners' great parade on Friday,
June 6. during the home coming period
Of Masonic week, as well as to take
1000 foot reel of the parade that will
be given the next day, June z, in COM
memoration of the twentieth anniver-
sary of the great fire of June Z, 1888,
which almost destroyed the city.
These two pictures will be shown all
over the country, for they will be sent
out by the film company of Chicago
Minneapolis, Des Moines, and Omaha,
and will pass. through each of the hun
dreds of theatres that are furnished
with pictures by the company.
The cost of this great work will be
just $500 and this expense is being
paid by the Fargo Theatrical Co., for
the benefit of Fargo.
1t is hoped that all will take part in
the two parades, and especially in the
one of Saturday, June Z, for the pic
lures are expected to advertise Fargo
as nothing else has ever done. 1t is
hoped that the floats and the different
orders that will take place In these
parades will be In their finest.
1t Is stated that the Shriner's parade
which will take place on Friday eve
ming will also be worth taking, for the
imperial potentate will be here with
his aides and it is hoped to make this
one that will be sure to please. There
will be further announcements made
of the matter.

Washington, May 20.--With the an
swer of the United States of protest in
hand, it is now UP to the Japanese for
eign Office to take the next step in the
negotiations over the California alien
land act.
1t is expected the Forthcoming re-
joinder to Secretary Bryan will be
strongly argumentative and calculative
to result in the conduct of the future
negotiations on a strictly legal basis.
AS 1t is now understood. the state
department is looking to the Japanese
government or some of the Japanese
citizens to test the new law by re-
course to United States courts. II, may
be in the drawing of another issue
that the japanese are believed to be
reluctant to begin such movements.
1t is expected several days will elapse
before the Japanese rejoinder is receiv-
ed, in view of the fact that ten days
were taken for the preparation and the
delivering of the American reply to
the original protest.

1t charges the property owners just
what the men must be paid, with pos

There is not enough work at the city

a crew of men busy all the time but
by being able to keep them busy on
private grounds part of the time, the
park board is able to keep together a
crew of thoroughly competent men,.
who understand this work. t-~
The great interest that is being TAX
en- in beautifying private grounds all
over the city this spring, has been the
subject Of great deal Of comment. 1t
is another matter on which Fargo can
pride itself. Never before has there
been SO much work done, and money
expended on private grounds, lawns,
driveways and boulevards, and most
Of this is due to the splendid efforts
Of the park board. 1t is fully as i'm

kept up and instead of being matter

have been the means of calling atten-,
tion to the excellent work that the
board Is doing in an incidental way in
beautifying the city. aside from its
work in making the parks of the city
beautiful.
The anonymous letters stated that
the park board was grating, by fur
nislling city employees to work on pri-
vate lawns and grounds.
IL those who wrote these letters at
tacking the board hoped to get the
members of the board into trouble,
they will be very much disappointed,
as exactly the reverse will be true.
The board is deserving of a great deal
Of praise for the interest it is TAX
Ing in beautifying the city as a whole,
and the methods 1t has taken to
bring about this greatly to be desired
end.
1t is a fact that the park board is

to beautify their property, with COM

Bismarck, N. D., May 20.-In line
with Governor Hanna's policy Of CIV

strong, safe and well managed banks,
by seeking to prevent the establish
ment of a large number of banks
where there is no need for them, and
where the business will not justify
their establishment, the state banking
board adopted resolutions endorsing
that policy.
The adoption of this resolution pre-
cludes the possibility of establishment
in such small towns where the busi-
ness will not warrant their existance
but which are opened merely for the
purpose of securing O. foothold in ad-
vance of the period when the COM
munity has attained its full growth.
This resoluti ion of the banking board
calls for an investigation of the
locality of the applications hereafter
to determine whether or not there is
need of. a banking institution there.
Another resolution adopted by the
board authorizes the state examiner
to call upon every institution, trust
company or savings bank and to

Prize for Composition.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl. between the ages of 10 and 10
who writes the best composition, not
to exceed 800 words, on the repair
and maintenance of earth roads, is to
be awarded by Logan Waller Page,
director, office Of public roads, Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
Washington, D. G. All compositions
must be submitted to Mr.. Page before
May Is, 1913, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions can be graded. The COM
positions may be based on knowledge
gained from books or other sources,
but no quotations should be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public road situation
of the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief
that ignorance on the subject of re-
pair and maintenance of roads is as
much the cause of their bad condition
as any other one factor. 1t is expect
ed that the competition will bring
about better understanding of the

The city of Anderson is making an
effort to enforce the speed ordinance
as to automobiles 1t should be done
in every town. The ordinace should
be founded in reason, and then it
should be enforced. And it should be
enforced without fear or favor. The
Newberry speed ordinance is six miles
the hour and of course is an absur-
dity. The ordinance should refer to
motorcycles as we'll as automobiles.
The stop ordinance at the crossing of
Main and Caldwell streets includes mo-
torcycles, but they seem to be a law
unto themselves or else the city au-
thorities do not know the law or they
are making an exception in favor of
the motorcycle.

Rei0re the Recorder.

Recorder Jno w. Earhardt fined
Travis Hart $40 on Saturday morning,
which he paid, for refusing to stay
out of the Newberry Cotton mill after
being forbidden entrance there. An
interesting story is back of this. Hart
had married a young lady who was
working at Oakland. Life was not
smooth with them and she left going
to the Newberry mill. There he still
pursued her. and was so insistent and
persistent that after couple or more
times in disregarding the orders to
stay out, he was taken before Recorder
Earhardt with the above result.
