report for the executive committee in

continuation of the publication as a
means OF keeping the members of the
association in touch with each other

to their desks. The Bulletin is pub

port extended the thanks OF the asso-
ciation TO the citizens OF Fargo for
their hospitality; to the commercial
club for the use of the rooms and the
banquet last night; to the armory as
sociation for the privilege of viewing
the new auditorium and armory and of
holding one meeting in 1t: to the Mas
onic bodies for the use of the Masonic
temple for the dance last night and to
the Orpheum and Princess theatres for
the entertainment furnished to the as
sociation members and the ladies'.
Largest Winter Meeting Yet.
The adjournment to the largest and
what the members express themselves
as being the best winter meeting that
has been held in the history of the as.
sociation, came to an end shortly be-
fore l o'clock this afternoon.
BY evening a greater portion of the
visitors will have started for their
homes.
The Banquet Last Night.
If there is anything that the editors
like to get that thing is a square
meal. The result was that none OF
them were disappointed at the ban
quet last night held in the dining
rooms of the commercial club and
supplied by the Pirie company.
When the visitors sat down to the
nicely decorated tables and picked
up the menu, the first thing they did
was to unconsciously take out their
pencils and begin to write "wf' along
the margin. Even one old timer, who
has had much experience, has been
great in reading job proofs, opened
his mouth to shout for the compost
tor. ]. z. Hardy, secretary of the
commercial club, who was toastmas-
ter, went so far as to say that wher
he was in the printing business he
| turned out better jobs than the menu
For the benefit of the laity it car
be said that the menu was set III
from about a dozen different fonts o
type. of various series and faces o.
course the average citizen knows
| what that means. Anyway here i!

characteristics of the composition can
