several patients in his absence,
begged to be excused.
I Secretary Zweber of sthe live New:
Leipzig Commercial club headed the
delegation which was added at his
hustling little city; several were pick
ed up at Elgin, and Burt contributed
it's quota, with the result that the
special pulled into Mott with more
than 100 boosters aboard.
Notifies Mobilize Quickly.
Owing to the good work of Con-
ductor Hayes in cutting the corners,
the special pulled into Mott an hour
and fifteen minutes ahead of schedule.
Mott had made all preparations to
meet the visitors at 4:25. When word
came from New Leipzig that the train
would arrive at $40, Mott did some
tall hustling, with the result that a
half-hundred automobiles and the
Mott Concert band were on hand
when the train whistled in.
After a concert by Motifs first-class
music aggregation, everyone, includ-
ing the two bands, piled into the
cars, and a ride through the beautiful
residence district, past Motifs splen-
did $4,000 high school, was enjoyed.
The machines came to halt in the
business center of the city, where
the two bands massed in several
greatly enjoyed concert numbers,
rendered under the direction Of Con-
ductor G.. w. COchrane of the Bis
marck Boosters.
That Bismarck Band.
The Bismarck band then broke up
into smaller organizations, each of
which devoted the hour and a half in
tervening before the calling of the
game to serenading the various bust
ness houses. Hank Halverson, Lloyd
Harmon, Earl Peck and George Hum
phreys shone in this feature of the
program, and when they came back
to the assembling point they were
we'll laden with spOils garnered as an
evidence of the appreciation of their
audiences. Good fellowship was made
better by the excellent work and the
geniality of the bandsmen, and every
one was feeling cheerful and we'll &C
quainted when the cars were again
loaded up for the journey to the base
ball park.

Invaluable to Bismarck.
"The Mott trip was invaluable to
Bismarck" declared Secretary Price.
"This is competitive territory, in
which Bismarck must enter against
Aberdeen. Bismarck to date carries
OF at least 80 per cent of the jobbing
and wholesale business Of Mott and
New Leipzig, and this is largely due
to the fact that these towns have
more friendly feeling for their Capital
City than they have for any point
located in South Dakota.
Motifs gaily decorated streets; the
fact that all business was suspended
for the afternoon; the enthusiasm
with which every citizen entered into
the reception of the Bismarck people,
proves that such friendly visits as the
one we made Friday are appreciated.
This jaunt cost the Commercial club
just $200.15, largely because a half
hundred who had expected to make
the trip found at the last moment
they could not go. We had, however,
a truly representative party of 40
business men, in addition to the base
ball team, boosters and band. The
banks, the wholesale interests, the re-
tailers, the distributors and the pro-
LESSONS all made q good showing,
