With the success Of the Fargo Ar
mory-Auditorium campaign already a
practical certainty, the tremendous
importance to the city Of the new
structure is evidenced by the charac-
ter and size of the conventions area-
dy promised the city. The new Ar
mory- Auditorium, largely, will make it
possible to hold these conventions in
Fargo.
Twelve thousand Norwegians most
ly from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and MOnta-
ma, but many of them from all of the
states in the union, will meet in Fargo
next summer. The meetings will last
for a period of six weeks, from June
to July IS Not all of them will be
here at once, but there will be an av-
erage of 1900 visitors in the city for
the six weeks.
The visitors will come to Fargo to
attend the meeting of Norwegian lags.
A lag is society of people who
come from a certain section of No:-
way. The number of persons from
each lag who will attend the meetings
in Fargo will vary with the lag from
300 to 1900. Several lags will hold
meetings simultaneously, each meet
ing to last three days. Fifteen lags
have accepted Fargos invitation to
convene here next summer. The ses-
sions will be held in the then newly
completed and furnished Fargo Ar
mory Auditorium, which will house
the visitors comfortably and well
The Morse society of Fargo is large
ly responsible for getting the lags to
choose Fargo as meeting place. Dur
ing the sessions of the societies in
MINNEAPOLIS May II of this year, Peter
Myrvold, editor Of The Fran, extend
ed an invitation to them on behalf Of
the Morse society and the Fargo city
commissioners to come to Fargo. Fif-
teen lags accepted. There are thirty
three Norwegian lags in the United
States. Many of them have left the
decision as to their next place of
meeting with an executive committee
whose decision will be reached later.
In the event that more yiuP. PIudd iva
to come to Fargo, the citys Norwegian
visitors will number well over the ex-
pected 10000.
The lags which, according to J. G.
Halland, president Of the Morse socie-
to come to Fargo, the city's Norwegian
meet in the new Armory Auditorium

MAKING
TOO MUCH
WHISKY

Louisville, KY, July 11.-More than
half the distillers Of Kentucky, accord
ing to information made public here,
have agreed to join a movement to re-
duce their 1914 output 100000 gal
Ions on account Of large stocks and
production during the last five
years. The Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
distillers are also said to be taking
like steps.
The distillers point out that the de-
creased demand is not responsible for
the proposed curtailment. They say
statistics show the consumption OF
whiskey has increased from 20,000,0OO
gallons to 35, 100000 gallons in the last
four years, but that in the same time
the production had jumped from 20,-
0CO, 900 to 46,0O0000 gallons.
"The idea" said one prominent dis
tiller, lis to let the demand catch up
with the production"

the presidency or vice presidency fail
ed of adoption, according to an Off

A motion passed, however, demand
ing that the first chief, as president ad

A list of names was suggested to
Carranza from which if he saw fit, the
provisional cabinet of consulting COM

This followed a fight in which Villa

military leader, including Carranza,
from presidential possibilities.
The plan of Guadeloupe, under which
the present revolution has been oper-
ating, was amended at the conference
so as to prevent any military leader
