PLATFORM MEETING
At FIRST N. {.

"EHr.
There wasn't a large crowd present
at the platform meeting held last
night at the newly enlarged and re-
modelled M. u. church, but what it
lacked in numbers it more than made
UP in enthusiasm. So much was GO
ing on in the city that it interfered
with the attendance.
The evening was the second in the
week of entertainment, at the church
in honor of the opening and the att
tendance vas fairly good, in the neigh
borhood of 500 being present.
DIR. j. M. Walters. pastor of the
congregation, presided and there was
a song service which was enjoyed.
The speakers of the evening were
John H. Worst, president of the agri-
cultural college, DIR. @. G.. Creegan,
president of Fargo college, and Bishop
Luccock of Helena, Mont.
Education In a religious way was
the theme of the most of the speak
ers and the two heads of the colleges
each talked on the Relation of Church
and Young Men and Women Who
Come to Fargo to Attend Educational
Institutions.
that It was the duty of the churches
and the people in general to make the
young students of both sexes feel
more at home in the city and to assist
them in every way possible. 1t was
also urged to make the church a
pleasant place for them to visit.
Bishop Luccock closed the period
Of speech making and he talked OF
the work in the northwest. making a
very interesting talk.
Following the addresses the visitors
were shown about the church. ON
next Friday evening there will be a
banquet in the church which will
more than likely be largely attended.

VIEWING The
WINNING BIRDS

The state poultry show is the rem
devious of many of the visiting farm-
ers. a large number of them accom-
panied By their wives or daughters.
1t is interesting to hear them dis
cussing whether Wyandottes, Orping-
tons, the different varieties OF Ply
mouth Rocks, Hamburgs, Buttercups
or Rhode Island Reds would be the
most profitable to buy for the Inn
provement of their flocks i home.
Today was the second day of the
show and the attendance was well UP
to the average and many were on
hand early.
This years showing in the White
Wyandotte class is the biggest in the
history Of the state association and
the nineteen annual shows which
have been held under It's auspices.
Another feature which is gratifying
to the association officials Is that a
large portion of the out-of-town ex-
hibitors are in attendance at the
show.
This year Mrs. Mitchell OF Crooks
ton, a prominent breeder in northern
Minnesota, is represented by attrac-
tive pens of White Orpingtons and s..
S. Hamburgs. She is the winner of
the two association medals for the
best birds in their respective classes,
the competition for memgbers only.
Mrs. Mitchell is one of the regular
exhibitors in the North Dakota show
and one of the more enthusiastic
members of the state association.
The placing Of the awards before
the opening Of the show is generally
approved by experienced visitors to
the show and it is easy to see that
being able to view and compare the
winning birds has done much in slim
ulating interest among the rank and
file Of the visitors.
That the exhibitors in the Fargo
show do not confine themselves to
local spheres is shown by a perusal OF
the list of awards made at the show
now in progress in Minneapolis, theil
names are prominent among the win
ners in the Minnesota state show
Mrs. John Wolfe of Grand Forks fol
Rose Comb White Leghorns; G. G
Dibley & Sons Of Wolverton for the

famous, and others.

WATCH men
ON CARPET

Washington, Jan. 14.-Aluminum
steel watch movements and machine
tools were discussed. by witnesses to-
day at the tariff hearings before the
ways and means committee. The
Waltham Watch Co, alleged to be in
the so called watch trust, was subject
ed to a scrutiny of It's financial af-
fairs. e. c.. Fitch of Waltham, Mass,
testified that the company could man
ufacture watch dials cheaper than he
could buy them abroad. He said the
Waltham company was originally cap
italized at $4,000, 900, that it reorganiz-
ed with a. capitalization of $4,000, 900.
The tangible assets are 100000 with
the patents and good will worth nearly
$500, 900.
The witness told of the former ex-
istence of a selling agency that handled
the Waltham products. He said he
was one of three partners in the sell
ing agency, each of whom received
$500 0 annual salary.
The witness said he had a list or
approved jobbers'' to whom the
watches were sold. Fitch admitted the
Elgin. Waltham, Crescent and keystone
watch companies constituted an in
dustry Known as the big four" but
added there were other sources of sup
ply.

III TIMATUM
To TURKEY
BY ALLIES

London, Jan. ia decision to break
up the peace conference simultaneous
ly with the presentation to the Turkish
government Of note Of European pow
ers was reached today by the confer
ence of peace delegations OF the Bal
kan allies. AT the same time 1t was
decided to instruct the commanders Of
the armed forces of the allies In the
field to terminate the armistice which
has been in operation since Dec. 8.
The resolution of the representa-
.tiyes of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro
and Servia will be communicated to
the porte in a formal note.
Since Dec. 3, the hostilities between
Bulgaria and Servia n one side and
Turkey on the other, have entirely
ceased. Greece, which did not sign
the armistice protocol, has continued
fighting against Turkey, both on land
and sea, with varying success.
Montenegro, also, which was nomin-
ally a part to the armfstice, has been
engaged in the interim in many eve
skirmishes with the troops forming the
garrison of the Turkish fortress of
Scutari, which shows no sign of yield
ing. 1T is believed the Ottoman troops
there. most of whom form a part of the
regular army, are fairly well provided
with food and ammunition, as Scutari
was always a great center of the grain
trade and contains large arsenal.
The threatening note of the allies to
Turkey is to be worded in such a way
that 1t will become effective only In
the event of the Ottoman governments
refusing compliance, with the advice
given to it by the ambassadors of the
European powers. The members of the
Balkan league are Of the opinion that
the note drafted by the European
diplomats is so diluted that it requires
an admixture, of yitalizing tonic and
this they think will be supplied by
their threat to continue hostilities,
The latest adyices received by the
Turkish delegates show the Ottoman
grand council has not met yet at Con-
stantinople and that probably 1t will
not meet. 1t is understood that Kia-
mil. Pasha. the grand wiser, will in all
probability resign. Should the situa-
ton develop in such a way the grand
council will be called together. The
opinion is expressed that Turkey will
reject the advice Of European powers
and hostilities will be resumed.
The allies representatives declare
that 100000 of their troops ~concentrat-
ed around the fortress of Adrianople
and along the T~chatalja lines and they
are ready to face all events. General
Boyovitch, the Servian hero, of Mon
astir asserts within two days Adrian
ople can be captured.

EntertaIned Rible Class.

Miss Cilly, teacher OF the young
woman's Bible class of the Congrega-
tional church, was hostess for the
members, last night, at the home of
Mrs. e. L. Lowe, $40 Seventh street
south. A splendid programme was ar
ranged for the entertainment of the
guests and part of the amenities took
the form of doing everything back
ward. A great deal of merriment was
created during the sharp, short and
decisive backward" spelling match
but despite the handicaps a number
of the ladies proved themselves adopts
in the accurate arrangement of letters
contained in the words given by the
prompter. Walking backwards down
stairs was discovered to be a great
deal more difficult than some of the
brave ones thought it to be. The
winners of the several events were
presented with choice carnation bios
sons. There was a service of refresh
ments which We're discussed amid
merry chatting and the telling. OF
stories. The evening was made one
of rare pleasure and will not soon be
forgotten by, the participants.

ANOERS AN ECONOMY

The regular meeting of the Com
mons club occurred last night at the
commercial club rooms. Nearly thirty
members sat down to a s O'Clock din
ner, and afterwards listened to a
most instructive talk by City Eng.
Frank Anders upon Economy in NUM-
cipal Government.
He treated his subject in a straight
forward manner calling attention to
the fact that nearly 81, 100000 of Far
COS money had been expended upon
his approval during the past two and
a half years, and this without a single
check upon him. He discussed the
matter of municipal contracts, espec-
tally those relating to paving, water
and sewers, and showed c~oncIusively
that there was need of watchfulness
on the part of citizens at all times.
He especially pleaded for co-opera-
ton on the part of taxpayers, and a
livelier support of city officers ia the
performance OF their duties.
Following this address there was a
spirited discussion on the points made
by Mr.. Anders. The committee on
municipal finance and legislation was
authorized to make an investigation
of its own into certain conditions and
report at the next meeting of the
club, when the topic viii be discussed
further. Considerable routine business
was disposed of by the club and a
rising vote Of appreciation and con-
hdence was given to Mr.. Anders.
