SECOND BAND CONCERT
DRAWS CROWD TO PARK
Red Cross Girls Mingled Among Park
Visitors DispOsinE of Flowers
For That Organization.

Little children played the teeter-
totters until the board creaked like
the joints in The Tin Soldier; Red
Cross girls mingled in the crowd dis
posing of flowers for the benefit of
that organization; swings were in
motion all day, and many canoes
dotted the Red river Sunday at Island
park.
Several hundred PEOPLE gathered in
Island park Sunday afternoon to enjoy
the second concert of the season given
by Professor Harry NJ. Rudd's band.
Many escaped the heat of the day by
going to the park early with their
lunches. The concert pleased and each
number was literally applauded.
Down near the boat-house, the river
was specked with canoes, sun-shades
ranging from fans and straw hats to
big black umbrellas. Scores of bath
ers also enjoyed the day.
Three band concerts will be given
during July and two during August.
The same band which played in the
park Sunday will also be heard at the
Interstate fair during the week of
July 20 to 2S, inclusive.

CLEARINGS HOLD
UP DESPITE THE
WAR CONDITIONS
Only Slightly Less in Six
Months Than For Same
Period Last Year

Fargo bank clearings for the first
six months in 1917, ending July /,
were $37,457,252.3S, a decrease of So
5s2,21O.2s, when combared to the total
for the first six months in 1916, &C
cording to figures taken from the
books of the Fargo Clearing House
association.
The total for the first six months
in 1915 was $41,049, 462.66.
The decrease Is due to several con-
ditions, Fargo bankers said today,
more particularly being the fact that
the 1915 grain crop was far below
that of 1915, while the first weeks Of
the war also had an effect in retard-
ing business.
Now On the Increase.
Clearings for the months of May and
June, however, in the majority of
cases, show an increase over those
for the corresponding period in 1915,
and with the healthy business con-
ditions now prevailing, bankers are
confident that clearings for the last
six months of 1917 will more than
Offset the decrease of the first six
months, and place the 1917 total con-
siderably above that OF 1916.
