From 20 to 80 committeeman and
delegates from the North Dakota
Federation of Commercial Clubs and

ton will assemble at the Commercial
club rooms at 10 O'clock this fore
noon, for the purpose Of discussing le.

ceived from the Joint committee
which has, had under consideration

tural and industrial resources.
While there has been no intima-
ton OF the committees findings, it
is regarded probable by those who
have given the matter consideration
that the report on the Chicago Her
aid plan will be unfavorable. This
opinion is based upon the fact that
the undertaking, as outlined at the
Fargo convention of the Federated
Commercial clubs, is too general to
meet North Dakota's needs. II. the
state We're in a position to spend $780,.
900, or more, on a campaign for new

posal, and since the amounts which
will, he available must be applied
