FRANCIS TALKED
ON CONTRACTS
TIM FRANCIS TALKED AT N. M,
c. A. CREDIT CLASS ON CON.
TRAcTs-W. w. SMITH NEXT
IMPORTANT POINTS
ARE DISCUSSED.

Last night a goodly number Of BUSH
ness men met in the Y. M. c.. A. to
discuss the making and operation Of
contracts. The discussion was led by
Tim Francis, Of the Merchants
Credit Bureau. A number Of points in
civil law that are frequently misun-
derstood or ~disregarded by business
men were brought out.
One Of the most important
was in determining just what consti-
tutes a valid contract, An offer must
be made and accepted. The law holds
that the man who accepts be
aware of the offer and must accept
it Just as it is made. before It can
stand in court. Thus. If a merchant
offers a commodity at a stipulated
price. the man who buys 1t. to be de-
PENDANT in the court, must know of
the offer and accept it on the stated
terms.
In all cases Of uncertainty the courts
hold that there must be established
this meeting Of the minds" The
contract, to be. valid, must always
provide for some, consideration. 1t
need not necessarily be a just one but
must be stipulated.
All contracts involving real estate,
amounts over $40. accounts running
over a year, and bids must be in writ
ing to be valid. Memorandum, in
voices and letters acknowledging the
transaction are regarded az written
contracts.
In cases where a part of the ON
tract is declared illegal it does not
invaIidate the entire contract but only
such part as is deemed illegal. Certain
executions to the enforcement of con-
,onf- InlH 1NhnSn are Divided into
two general classes, "Act Of God" and
Public Enemy"
Penalties cannot be enforced when
the party is unable to govern the
circumstances preventing the opera
ton of the contract. However the
courts hold that if the delay or
negligence is due to an agent of the
party the regular law or principal and
agent holds and the principal is re-
sponsible. Renewals of any negotiable
paper must be accepted by both
parties. In case of notes or open ac-
counts proceedings may be instituted
after a period of six years. This time
must run from the last payment ON
the note or the last entry on the &C
count. 49,.
On next Tuesday evening w. w.
Smith, of the North Dakota Harness
Co., will lecture on Sources of Credit
Information and be followed by gem
eral discussion Of Credit Methods by
A. II. Dodsley. The attention especial
ly of young business men in Fargo
and Moorhead is directed toward his
work. 1t is al opportunity that comes
to few, to come into as close and
practical touch with problems of
business management as is possible in
the Y. M. c. A. Credit class. Tile
class will continue until June l. and
many new enfollments aye expected.

Three new members of the board of
incorporators were elected at the
meeting yesterday also. They are A,
L. Moody, H. F. Emery and George H
HOLSTER.
Mr.. Moody and Mayor Emery were
eelcted to the board of trustees.
Mr.. Hansel, as acting president,
submitted his report to the board
which showed a fiourishing condition
Of the finances Of the institution since
he has taken hold. The note Of his re-
port was optimism.
OF the 500, 900 asked from the citi-
zens Of Fargo, Mr.. Hansel stated that
$51, 200 had been subscribed. This fact
makes available the use of $4,000 do
mated by the Congregational Educa-
tional society on condition that $780,
900 be. raised for the endowment of
the college right here in Fargo.
More than 500 students are now en-
rolled at the college, and in every way
1t is felt that the institution on the hill
is going to pull through it's financial
difficulties with flying colors.
The friends of Mr.. Hansel will be
glad to hear of his elevation to the
presidency and know that he will be-
come a permanent factor in the com
munity henceforth.
The new president came to Fargo
last fall AFTER an active career in the
work of the Y. M. G. A, with which
organization he holds the record of
building the first association building
west of Chicago, at st. Joseph, Mo-,
with the exception of San Francisco.
He raj one of the leading spirits in
the movement toward the establish
ment of the Y. M. c. A. training school
at Lake Geneva, Wis.
Mr.. Hansel was a resident of Peoria,
ILL.,, and was engaged in the insurance
business at the time he entered the Y.
M. G. A. work. AS an insurance man
he had a large territory which he gave
up to so into the Y. NJ. c. A. field.
President Hansel has always been
an organizer, having been engaged in
numerous business enterprises in his
earlier commercial career and one
time was associated with q company
that had extensive lumber interests in
Canada, all of which he voluntarily
gave up for the good to be accomplish
ed in the Y. M. G. A.
The people of cargo are glad to
have Mr.. and Mrs. Hansel among
them and they hope their life here will
be happy and useful. At present the
president and Mrs. Hansel are at the
Gardner hotel.
