Ensuing Year.
BY GEORGE L. PRICE

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 1.-THE North
Dakota Federation of Commercial
Clubs yesterday afternoon committed
velopment of North Dakota by the en-
couragement of immigration through
county or district bureau plan.
A clause to this effect was inserted
in the set of resolutions adopted in
accordance with a custom common to
annual meetings, and it was the sense
of every commercial executive anc
delegate present that this particular
resolution means something; that /,
thing to work upon and that the
next year will be made busy and
profitable one by carrying out tie
splendid program outlined at this
meeting.
immigration Discussed.
A discussion of immigration, par
ticipated in by Don NJ Bates, assist
ant immigration commissioner Of the
500 Line; l.. J. Bricker, immigration
commissioner for the Northern Paci-
fic, and C. G.. Connolly of Devils Lake,
representing the Lake Region Devel-
0pment association, occupied the af-
ternoOn session. Many interesting
and valuable points in relation to the
immigration game" were brought
out, but the fact of all facts, the one
that stuck was:
''If you wish your message to be
effective, you must carry it to the
farmer, the farmers wife, his son ana
daughter, in their home, and it must
be carried by farmer, or one VITA
practical knowledge of farming, and
one in whom farmers have conf
dence."
This statement was iterated and re-
iterated by Mr.. Bates, by Mr.. Bricker,
by Mr.. Connolly and by others who
joined in the discussion. It was stat
ed as the concrete conviction growing
out of many years of successful immi-
grafton work. "4 ,<'.'it' s
Mr.. Bricker's talk was entertaining,
as we'll as instructive. He emphaslz-
ed many of MS statements with per-
sonal "reminiscences. Outstanding
among his remarks were these:
North Dakota is now attracting
the best class of settlers in the
history of the state.
