COMMERCIAL Club
R.,W. M'CREERY AND D. w. NORRIS
EXPLAIN DETAILS OF PLAN
AT HIGH SCHOOL.
ST. MARY's SCHOOL TO
TAKE UP SAME SCHEME
Rev. }. J. Fitzpatrick Commends New
Movement-Two Hundred Boys Stay
to Hear Talks-Actual Organization
Meeting Scheduled Soon-Boys In
terested in Plan.

! Two hundred high school boys heard
! r. w. McCreery and D. w. Norris ex-
plain in detail the plans for the Junior
Commercial Club of Marshalltown
which has for is purpose the beautify
ing of the parks and Fairgrounds OF
the city, and instilling in the boys a
sense of civic pride and responsibility.
Rev. ]. ]. Fitzpatrick was also present,
and spoke briefly. Rev. Father FitZ-
| patrick commended the idea and said
: he proposed to take up the same plan
at st. Marys Institute.
Superintendent Palmer told of how
the plan had worked out successfully
; in Chicago and Elgin, ILL.,: Grand
| Rapids. Mich: Cleveland and Cincin-
natl. O.. and Iowa Falls.
Norris Urges Civic knowledge.
In telling the boys the advantages
OF the plan as proposed by the Mar
shalltown Club. Mr.. Norris said that
this was an opportunity to be found
only once in a lifetime. Boys at this
age should be given chance to learn
something about civic and municipal
government, and this was an invalu-
able opportunity, according to the
speaker. Many business men of today
know practically nothing about city
government, and as a result their
cities suffer, not only in a financial
way, but also in the lack Of proper
Identification. 1t is for this purpose
that the Junior Marshalltown Club has
been organized. to give the boys a
chance to learn the rudiments of park
and playground work, by beginning at
the bottom, so that when they are
citizens themselves they will know how
TO keep up the appearance of the place
in which they live. Mr.. Norris urged
the boys to take part in this movement
and said that the few hours of work
they would have to put in during the
year would be more than repaid by the
results.
Stay in Marshalitown.
That Marshalltown wanted to keep
as many Of the boys as possible and
have them for, her citizens when they
grew up, was the principal idea Of MI.
McCreery's address. He emphasized
the idea of service and told the boys
that he hoped they would all stay in
Marshalltown, or at least come back
! 4 they went away to school. Nj. Nc
| Creery stated that he believed Mar
shalltown was about the best place in
which to live Of any town in the coun-
| try. Born in a small town. and having
lived in large city as Wen, the speaker
| declared he was satisfied that city
\ of this size was the best place to
settle down in. and he urged the boys
to boost for their own town and be
citizens Of worth as soon as they were
/ able.
i The parks and Fairgrounds COM
! mittee of the Marshalltown Club will
meet this evening to discuss further
plans for the starting OF the work in
the, junior club. Officers will be elected
among the boys at a later date. to be
set by the school authorities.

DAKOTA'S 1914
CROP WORTH SHAPES, 900

The department of agriculture at
Washington has issued its bulletin of
crop value estimates. This publica-
tion shows that North Dakota's 1914
crops amounted to $144,293,000. In
1913 their value was $105,356, 900,
thus showing gain of 81 per cent.
In spite of her comparative low den
sity of population, North Dakota
stands twelfth in value of crops in
the entire United States. The aver
age value of North Dakota's crops
for the past five years has been
$123, ,44S,000, therefore the 1914
crop shows a gain of the fve-year
period of nearly II per cent.

Bismarck, March 12-Letters re-
ceived at the state capitol yesterday
indicate that a few political malcon-
tents at jamestown are planning to at
tempt referendum of several import
ant measures introduced at the last
session among which are the regents
bill, immigration act, bill legalizing
acts of emergency commission, meas
ure placing state capitol under the
board of control and several others
which have been fathered by the Han
ma administration.
Voters of the state are being warn
ed not to sign any petition until they
are thoroughly apprised of what they
are doing. The political medicine max.
ers are busy attempting to undo the
work of the legislature.
It is strongly intimated that Gov.
Hanna will call an extra session if
any attempt is made to suspend the
board of regents bill, the immigration
act or any measure which is known
the majority of the people desired en-
acted.
Much of the agitation grows out Of
the Jamestown asylum fight. The
confirmation of the board of controI

it's members by the legislature have
aroused the Jamestown malcontents to
greater action.

NoRTHMEN REUNION JUNE "a
WILL BE "A GREAT EVENT

Milton, N. D., March 1.-THE date
for the annual Mortimer reunion in
Milton has been set for Midsummer
day, June "a, and the biggest enter
tainment in the history. Of the count,
is being planned The line of enter
tainment is as yet only partially de-
cided, but the program will in all
probability contain a monster cantata
and musicale, taken part in by forty
or fifty people.
A meeting will be called within a
few days and at that time committees
on arrangements and program will un
doubtedly be appointed. Present plans
are for reunion that will eclipse that
of last year in every respect, and the
time selected for holding the reunion
is admitted to be the most ideal of the
year.
The Mortimer reunion, which is the
only organization of the kind in the
state, is an annual event, and the citl.
zens of Milton and vicinity act as
hosts for the occasion. Nothing will
be left undone that will in any way
tend to make the big annual gather
ing a success. Several notables OF
state will be asked to attend and
take some part or other.
In addition to the evening program,
a baseball and shooting tournament
will undoubtedly be arranged for the
day. Races and other sports will also
be featured.
