CAMPAIGN
GROWING
g.~1
New Efforts Extended To-
day by Workers for
Greater Membership
A SPLENDID PROPOSITION
So Says Dale, Telling Boost
ers What They Have to
Offer Fargo People 49,

Faith in yourself, knowledge Of
Your prospect, and faith in the propo-
sition you present are three things
just as essential to your success in
soliciting members in this campaign,
as in selling biscuits, or automobiles"
said A. B. Dale, state Y. M. c. A. sec
retary, in a short address before the
campaign workers at the "Y" auditor
ium last evening.
There is no reason why you should
MT have faith in yourself, no reason
why you shouldn't know your pros
pect, and as for your proposition, you
have the biggest thing of its kind in
the entire world.
"a live, growing brotherhood of
100000 members, leagued for good Of
self and friend, doing a great work at
home and in foreign countries, pro-
viding every form Of healthful recrea-
tion for it's members, is the Y. NJ. c..
A. It is no trouble to get a prospects
name on an application blank, once
you show him what you have"
Mr.. Dale urged that every member
Of the local association consider him
self a committee Of one to get new
each two members would more than
increase the membership to 1900, the
goal of the present campaign, he said
Mr.. Dale's talk was enthusiastically
received.
Workers Behind Schedule.
Saturday and yesterday were two
hard days in the campaign. Many of
the workers, the majority local busi
ness men, have been unable to give
much Of their time during these two
days because Of business pressure,
and as a result the quota for the first
three days is considerably off. Con-
centrated effort, however, will easily
overcome the discrepancy in numbers.
I'VE are at the halfway mark, and
just a little off our stride, but there is
little reason for worry. The three
best days are in sight, and with the
prospects reported, 1t won't take such
a lot of work to finish ahead of our
schedule" said John w. Adams, gen.
eral secretary.
Busy But Ready to Help.
I'm a pretty busy man." said Emil
CHASER, physical director Of the local
association, in response to a call from
the chairman, but I am willing to
help any man in the campaign to close
/ up a prospect. Just bring them into
| the gymnasium, and in less than a
half hour you will have an euthusias-
tic association booster"
Mr.. Dale also offered his services to
any worker wanting help to close his
prospects.
Workers Are Welcome.
Group captains reported that the
workers were meeting with favor from
employers of men in the city, and that
in several instances managers had Of
fered the campaigners freedom of their
establishments in soliciting the en-
ployes.
Today every general, lieutenant and
worker will be reminded by telephone
~ -1I- 1HaIe
ming, and urge each to be on hand
with a report An attendance of fifty
lis asked for each of the remaining
dinners.
W. J. Lane will officiate as chair
man this evening.

CENSUS ACTION
IS POSTPONED

No definite action was taken by the
Fargo Moorhead Ministerial associa-
ton relative to the proposed religious
census of the two towns at the meet
ing of the association held in Trinity
Lutheran church in Moorhead.
The committee, which had been
named to make a report on this pro-
posed census, was not ready to make
a report yesterday and definite action
was postponed until the next session
of the organization. However. it is the
opinion of the ministers that a census
should be taken especially as 1t would
relate to children not in the Sunday
schools of the communities. %.
An address was delivered by Rev.
H. H. Harriss of Williston, a Metho-
dist minister who was in Fargo en-
route from the Jamestown conference
to his home. DR.. Hall was to have
spoken but will deliver his address at
the next meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Harriss has been visiting
at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Frank
S. Hollett of Broadway M. E. church,
Rev. Mr.. Harriss and Rev. Mr. Hollett
being old-time friends. The Williston
pastor leaves this evening for his
home.

FIRST VIEW lhPRESSES
GARDEN OF ALLAH AUDIENCE

The very first view Of The Garden
of Allah, which comes to the Fargo
auditorium tomorrow evening i'm
presses the beholder as being one OF
those spectacles that is best designat-
ed as "the last word" in stage display.
1t will be an impressively opulent ar
ray of scenic effects in which all the
arts of the theatre conjoin to startie,
bewilder and entrance the spectator.
Coming in a day Of motion pictures
this tremendous production of cpl
sodes in obert Hichens' drama will be
welcome relief from the uncertain
shadows Of the screen.

BOY FALLS AS
HE SKINS CAT
IN TREE; HURT
Frank ]. Oliver, s, Struck on
Head and Shoulder After
15-FOOt Fall
SUFFERS A BAD BREAK;
LEFT ARM NEAR SOCKET
Lad Was Picked Up Unconscious
By MOther-Three Doctors
Do Operation.

While attempting to show his boy
companions how to perform a juvenile
trapeze trick called "skin-the-cat" on
the limb of tree, S-year-old Frank ].
Oliver, son of Mrs. Minnie Oliver, yes
terday afternoon fell ID feet to the
ground and was knocked unconscious
when he landed on his head and left
shoulder.
His left shoulder was smashed and
the bone in his upper left arm was
fractured a short distance from the
socket of the shoulder.
Three physicians worked with the
injured boy and set the broken arm
and put the shoulder, which was dis
located, in place. 1t was necessary to
administer an anasthetic to the lad
before the operation could be per-
formed.
The accident occurred at about 2:30
o'clock in the rear of the boys home
at 800 Good Hope street. In company
with his older brother, Lester Oliver,
II years old, and Lee Sutton, II, the
Oliver lad had climbed into the tree.
The boys all were sitting far out on
a limb.
The Oliver home stands on an ele-
waited piece of ground overlooking the
hollow near the Houck crossing on
Good Hope. Immediately behind the
house is small bluff, and the tree on
which the boys were climbing about,
overhangs the bluff, so that although
the boys were but a few feet from
the level of the Oliver yard, there was
a straight drop of about Is feet before
the boy falling out of the tree would
land on the face of the bluff.
Frank Oliver was sitting nearest the
trunk of the tree and he started to
allow his body to swing under the
limb, hanging by his knees and hands.
When his body was hanging down.
ward in that position, he chung with
his hands and disengaged his knees
from the limb.
The bari; of the limb gave way
under his fingers and he began to fall.
He called to his older brother, who
had been sitting beside him. The
brother grabbed for his wrist, but ne
was too late to save the younger boy
from falling. The lad struck on the
side of the bluff with his head anc
shoulder and was knocked senseless
Immediately.
The cries of the other boys sum-
mOned Mrs. Oliver, who FASTENED to
the side of the bluff and carried her
son to the house, where his grand
mther, Mrs. Pearle Horseman, anG
Ellen Gill worked over him to restore
him to consciousness. After the boy
had been revived he told his mother
that his arm and shoulder were the
places that were hurting him. He was
then taken to a doctors office in Haa-
rig. Last night his condition was con-
sidered very serious. The boy is a
pupil in the Lorimier school.
