A Four Year Policy .
Most organizations meet defeat by
trying to meet the public demand for
progress for an all around modern
equipment and with it a narrow vi
sion OF financial obligation
The associations of the country have
advanced in play life during the last
thirty years from checkers, dominoes,
and ping pong in rented rooms to
buildings equipped with gymnasium,
auxiliary boxing and wrestling rooms,
swimming pools, bowling alleys, bill
lizards, athletic leagues Of base ball,
basket ball. tennis. dinners and or.
chestras.
The Fargo association has today all
this equipment, and this has been ac-
complished by reason of a ogr
sive program running back just four
years.
With 1T all has come an increased
budget calling for more supervision.
The financial program we must now
prepare to face includes caring for
our building mortgage of SIS, 900, the
interest of which is now costing us
$1,080 annually. This with the upkeen
of the building, proposed hot water
heating plant. refilteration plant, en-
larged kitchen, and throwing together
the auditorium and reading room ana
a proposed hand ball court calls for
some foresight, involving possibly n
other four ear program of finances.
The three most commendable finan-
cial accomplishments of the year were
the securing of forty-eight additional
$25 business mems annual subscrip-
tons; the raising OF our Insurance
to a So per cent value basis, and ar
ranging for. the policies to come due
in equal amounts each year. The
business men in charge of this work
certainly merit Il gratitude.
This Years Victory
With over $1,000 additional expense
as against last years, including SAL
aries, increased insurance. N. p. can
collation. and two special large subs
~scriptions and facing the worthk cam
lpaigns of Fargo college and the city
auditorium and carrying a total years
budget Of $~23.2SS.76, to win out was
Indeed a great victory; furthermore,
in the face of opposition we believe
we have more friends for the Fargo
association today than ever before
and the outlook for this coming year
is most gratifying. Over $500 was sub
scribed payable on this coming year,
The balance o. hand after caring for
all expenses was $685..

The Grand.

Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed on the acting of last nights play,
The Girl in Command. at the Grand.
as well as the clever work of the u
thor, Geo. V. Halliday, the stage direc-
tor Of the Grand Theatre Stock Co..
1t is by far one of the best plays
ever presented by the stock COM
pany and holds its own with any OF
the high priced royalty bills which the
company has been playing lately.
The piece, drought, is breezy and
sparkles with clever comedy and the
situation and business are compelling
and real. making the play a melodra-
matte bill far above the average.
Each and every member of the cast
deserves a great deal of praise for the
excellent manner in which they han
died their various roles.

CASEY CLOSES BARBER
SHOP IN HENRY COUNTY

Thomas Casey. secretary of the
state board of BARRIERS examiners,
made an inspection tour TO Cambridge
and CISCO. ILL.,, yesterday. At CISCO he
found that a young MAJ by the name
of Clifford Moline. who was operating
barber shop, had only an appren-
tice card. He talked the matter over
with W. II. Joy. owner of the shop. and
the place was closed. Joy was ignor-
snt of the state rules, which requires
that each apprentice .must work I'M
der a licensed boss barber. The shops
at Cambridge were found TO be in
good condition.
Mr.. Casey will make several other
trips in this vicinity to Investigate
conditions o. the tonsorial parlors.

lately been shipping the crystal at the

With the season so far advanced the
icemen have little hope of starting to
harvest again this season. The
chances of another continued cold
snap at this time of the year are
small. The dealers have much TO be
thankful for. howeve-. as the prospects
for a full ice crop were very slim
about a month ago.

Freckle Face
Now is the Time to Get Rid Of These
Ualy Spots.

DO you know how easy it il to re-
move those ugly spots so that no one
will call you freckle-face?
Simply get an ounce OF othine,
double strength. from your druggist,
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is TO rid yourself OF
freckles and get a beautiful complex
ion. The sun and winds of February
and March have a strong tendency to
bring out freckles, and as a result
more othine is sold in these three
months. Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine. as this is sold under
guarantee OF money back If it fails TO
remove the freckles.-(Adv.)

zee harvesting operations by the
Union Ice & Coal company stopped in
a rather unlocked for manner yester-
day noon, when one of the employees
of the company at work at Moline.
while in an intoxicated condition, it is
alleged by officers of the concern, fell
through holes in the ice no less than
three times and had to be rescued in
each instance. Shortly after these
chilly dips the dipped employe in
formed the other laborers that the ice
was unsafe TO work on and they re-
fused to continue. The foreman ar
gued with them, but 10 no avail. Con-
sequently the company is short about
1,5O0 tons at the Moline houses.
Had they continued operations
through the day the company would
have been through for the season. The
warm weather prevented further work
today and unless cold weather sets in
again the company will be minus the
1,500 tons. However. it has succeeded

AS harvest time approaches q

The Old Fashion Dance given
by the Daughters of Isabella in
the new Knights of Columbus
hall, over Silverman's store, on
Tuesday night last, was largely
attended and withal it presented a
brilliant scene of gracefulness and
beauty. It was intended to be, as
far as dress was concerned, an
ancient costume ball; that is, the
ladies were requested to dress in
costumes such as the great-grand-
mothers were in the good cold
times of long ago." Some of the
costumes were very handsome and
elegant. One lady wore a rich
and costly dress which her great
grand.mo other had worn one hum
dred years ago. 1t was a beauti-
full dress-its colors were seem.
ingly, just as bright and it's tex.
tile just as firm as it was when
her great.grand.mother was
young. The young people were
also requested to also to essay the
ancient dances; but with the ex-
ception of the Virginia reel, which
will never grow old, they did not
try them. The old time graceful
waltz, the cotillion, the quadrille
and the stately minuette, were
seemingly dead dances to them
and with the sprightly two step
did they "chase the glowing hours
away" The ball was a brilliant
social success.
