II License liz Voted Out.

Wilkin County Gazette CBrecken-
rldge): The question Of the removal OF
the saloons and brewery agencies to a
point just east. of the incorporation,
provided license is voted out, has caus-
cd quite a lot of interest and talk in
the city this week. Som seem to
think that It would a a tendency to
build up the east end Of Jul city more
rapidly then at. present n would be
a good thing, as it would, undoubtedly,
cause the street car company to extend
it's line and give the east end street
car service as well as the other parts
of our city. On the other hand most
Of our business men do not care to see
present conditions disturbed as they
annot foresee the results Of such a
radical change.
We have heard that if licenses are
voted out, at least two Of the build
ings now occupied for saloons will be
used for drug stores. and as there have
been a number of people here during
the late fall and early winter In quest
Of locations for other ines of business,
all vacant rooms would undoubtedly be
taken within a very short time. OF
course this would depend upon the
good business that we have enjoyed
during the past year, all remaining in
the city.

FREE METHODIST
GEN. CONFERENCE
FARGO WILL MAKE BID FOR
QuADRENNIAL CON ENcE
OF FREE METHODIST CHURCH
OF NORTH AMERICA IN JUNE
,1915.-WiLL BRING HUNDREDS.

Fargo will make an effort to land
the next general conference of the
Free Methodist church of North Am
erica, which is a quadrennial event
and will be held the neXt time in June,
1915.
The matter was presented to the
notice Of the executive committee of
the Fargo Commercial club at its ses-
sion this noon at which it was decided
to issue the executive board of the
Free Methodist church an invitation
to. consider Fargo for the place of
meeting of the next general quadren-
NAL conference.
Should the flickertail metropolis
land this convention it will bring to
this city between $50 and 300 delegates
from the ministry and laity of the
church from forty annual conferences
in all parts of the United States and
Canada.
The educational, publication, mis-
sionary and foreign interests Of the
church will all be matters of delibera-
ton at this conference. A daily news
paper will be issued by the confer
ence while it is in session.
At the present time Chicago and
Seattle are the only two cities after
the conference. Chicago was where
the last conference was held in 1911.
Prior to this time, the Free Methodists
have never met in the west but always
in Chicago and eastern cities. An eff
fort is now being made to have some
western city considered.
On account of the San Francisco ex-
position it is the belief that a west
ern city will be selected and for his
reason Fargo stands a good chance to
ecure the conference.
Rev. o. E. McCracken of Glad It'd
ings church today appeared before the
executive committee to answer any
questions relative to this gathering
and the proper procedure in obtain
ing the conference for Fargo.

The exigencies of the figure gave no
space for answer, and presently, after
certain labyrinthine evolutions, Shir-
ley's eyes were gazing into his again.
How adorable you look" he whis-
pered, as he bowed over her hand.
How does it feel to be a queen?"
"This little head was never made to
wear a crown" she laughed. Queens
should be regal. Miss Fargo would

The music swept the rest away, but

gave her that made her heart throb
wildly as she glided on.

smiling at her and clapping their
hands. From the other end of the
stand she saw Nancy Chalmers throw
ing her a kiss. and beside her a tall
pale girl In champagne-color staring
through jeweled lorgnette.
She was conscious all at once that
the flanneled rider was very close
that his pike-point, with its
big red blossom, was stretching up to
her.
With the rose in her hand she curt
sled to him, while the blurred throng
cheered itself hoarse, and the band
struck up You Great Big Beautiful
Doll" with extraordinary rapture, to
the tune of which the noise finally sub.
sided to battery Of hilarious con-
gratulations which left her flushed and
a little breathless. Nancy Chalmers
and Betty Page had burst upon her
like petticoated whirlwinds and pres
emily, when the crowd had lessened,
the judge came to introduce his visi-
tor.

stand, where stood q willowy tan fig-
ure, one hand beckoning to the con-
course below, where Valiant stood. the
center of shifting group. round which
the white bulldog. mad with recovered
liberty, tore In eccentric circles.
As they looked. she called softly.

Shirley saw him start and face
about, then come quickly toward her,
amazement and welcome in his eyes.
AS Shirley turned away a little later
with the major. that whispering voice
seemed to sound in her oars-"John!
John!" There smote her suddenly the
thought that when he had chosen her
his Queen of Beauty. he had not seen
the otAer-had not known she was
there.
A few moments before the day had
been golden; she went home through
landscape that somehow seemed to
have lost its brightest glow.
