LAST NIGHT AT ANNUAL BAN
QUIET SERVED AT FARGO CON-
MERClAL CLUB.

The annual banquet and meeting
of the Town Criers' club was held last
night at the Commercial club rooms
and the members present enjoyed one
OF he most enthusiastic and best ses-
SlOnS Of the year. After the supper
hour a business meeting was held
which was followed by addresses Of
local advertising men.
The following men were elected to
head the destinies Of the live adver-
Using club for the coming year:

Treasurer, A. NJ. Colby.
Commercial club. representatives,
Chairman c%ensoring committee, F.
Board Of governors, w, L. Day. A,
w. MCNair, r. E. Cole.
The main tall Of the evening was
given by DR.. Trimble of the A. c., a
member of the club. He spoke
on a general boosting campaign for
Fargo, the commercial club and the To-
cal manufacturers. His idea was
along the line of making the fair
grounds a permanent exposition place
for all goods made in the city, where
visitors could be taken at any time
and shown our products.
DR.. Trimble thought it a good prop-
OsitiOn to make the fair grounds a
general civic center and to establish a
permanent home there for the Fargo
M~OOrhead ball team, where there is
plenty of room and where home runs
would not be SO numerous.

Brown Of Harvard will be seen at
the Grand theatre over in Fargo,
Thursday night, in his true colors and
ne will be surrounded by scenery and
appointments which will be simply
captivating-sure because Ralph Tor
son and the seniors Of the Moorhead
high school say so.
Editor Richards Of the Moorhead
News is enjoying a visit from his niece,
Miss Elizabeth Richards of Seattle,
Wash, for a brief season.
The Civic club of Moorhead was in

Mrs. W. r. Tillotson.
tombstone Wagner, W. A. Robertson,
Frank McGill and William D. Titus
formed an auto party who spent Sat
urday and Sunday at Oak Lodge on
Lake Ida, about five miles east of
Pelican Rapids. They report fine
weather and a good time and returned
with a big string Of fish,.
-Four bids were submitted for the re-
modelling of the Moorhead National
Bank building; two from Fargo and
two from Moorhead. The bid of W. H.
Merritt, $12,193, Of Moorhead, was &C

beasts is certainly remarkable.

beasts is certainly remarkable.
Crowding his way among them,
armed with only a small whip, he pro-
ceeds to put the animals through a
score Of difficult poses and pyramids;
mounts one of the largest on a high
pedestal and then ~straddles the snarl-
ing animals back; feeds another raw
meat from his naked lips; places his
head in anOther's mouth; arranges the
entire, lot in a great pile on the floor
and lies on the topmost one. The
spectacle is thrilling to an extreme.
The act ends with the lions doing a
free-for~all hurdle race around the
arena.
Should anyone attending the show
not care to witness the many thrilling
wild animal acts they can turn their
attention to the features in which large
troups of dogs. monkeys, beautiful
horses and ponies and many other do
mestic animals are shown. Beautiful
prancing high-school horses do the late
popular dances, marches and poses.
Arabian and Shetland ponies assemble
in brilliant military drills. Fifty dogs
and monkeys do a line Of tricks, aero
battles, high jumping and diving.
Rocky mountain goats give exhibitions
of their deXterous climbing proclivi-
ties. Also, one of the most marvellous
acts known to dumb animal training
is the sea-lion group; these animals
performing feats never before shown.
Then there's the laughing section, q
comedy aggregation in the hands of a
dozen rib-tickling clowns and fifty
comedy elephants, bears, dogs, nom
keys. ponies, mules, etc. Every phase
of trained animal entertainment is pro-
vided by the Barnes circus.
A glittering mile-long parade is pre-
to the public at 1920. Per
fOrmanCes will be given in Fargo at
and 8 p. M, on Saturday, June 6.

Envious of JIMMY,

Philadelphia Telegraph: Congress-
man James r. McDermott of Illinois
smiled the other night when the con-
v~ersation at a social session turned to
great accomplishments. He said he
was reminded Of the envy Of little
Willie Smith.
Little Willie rambIed into the house
early one evening and, sinking into
an easy chair, heaved a great soulful
sigh. Naturally his mother questioned
him.
II jes' WISH" answered the young
ster. signing again, that I was Jimmy
why, wilne!" wonderfully ex-
claimed the mother. ''Why do you
wish that? Jimmy has none Of the
nice things that you have. Neither is
he so large, o so strong, and be-
sides"
That's all right, mamma" inter-
jected Willie, but I jes' wish I was
Jimmy, all the same"
"And then there is your bicycle"
continued mother, land your sled, and
you don't have to go out in the cold
work like Jimmy does"
That's all right" with yet another
sigh, 'but Jimmy can wiggle his ears"

Bass Season is Opened.

Devotees of the rod and line have
been passing around among their
friends the first capture of black bass.
Some of the fish weigh as high as
three pounds.
The black bass is the gamiest and
most priced by the angler of these
waters, and are found among the
MOSES and cover Of rushes, and
are taken only under favorable con-
~ditions, such as a cloudy and slightly
windy day, causing a ripple on the
water which protects the fisherman
from approach. Frogs are gener-.
ally used as bait, and with a good
casting outfit they can be landed
many yards away. the fisherman di-
recting the east to some favorite spot
or pool, and if Mr.. Bass is there the
fight is on.
Casting for bass is glorious sport,
and the exercise in the open air
makes a mar "chesty" especially af-
ter a days outing he has a full

A class of thirty eight received their
diplomas from Pres. J. H. Worst at the
agricultural college this morning. The
ceremonies attending the commence
ment were impressive, and a large
crowd witnessed the event, and heard
the speakers who addressed the gradu-
ates.
DR.. Guild Speaker.
DR.. L. T. Guild was the commence
ment speaker. His address was on
The Fire Called Eternal, the fire that
is ever borne before the hosts on q
silver altar.
Urged Democracy.
DR.. Guild emphasized the value of
toll, and urged the graduates not to
fear to soil their hands in honest work.
He urged democracy, and the altruism
which prompts a true fellowship with
all mankind. He spoke of the invisi-
BILE impetus behind every great move
ment in the worlds progress, the
something which led the Pilgrim
Fathers to embark on a perilous voy-
age and to seek a new land across the
seas, the something which carries
pioneers in every land and in every
movement through the hardships and
griefs which attend their task.
High Ideals.
This thing which carries them on
ward to the end is the power of high
ideals, this is the fire called enternal.
DR.. Guild spoke most highly of DR..
Beede's production of Sitting Bull and
Custer, in his reference to the pioneers.
When a man lowers his ideals his
confusion begins, said the speaker.
In conclusion he spoke Of the saying
which has gone down in history that
the Battle of Waterloo was won on the
cricket and football fields of England.
The motto Of the cricket field is play
up and play the game" and this the
speaker left as the parting word to
the graduates, play up and play the
Professional March.
The commencement exercises began
with the professional march, which

led by the band, which was followed
in order by the undergraduates, the

class the faculty and President Worst,

the guests Of honor. The band played
during the march and rendered an
