it became evident that States are not
completing organization of their dis

Only 81 States have reported their or

To Draft Two-thirds of One Per cent.
A so-called revised census estimate
for the entire country compiled on
the basis of the draft registration will
be made for determining apportion-
ments. Each city, county or State
must furnish two thirds of one per
cent of it's population, according to
the new estimates which were made
for the purpose of equalizing the draft
rather than to represent accurate pop
ulation totals. A city with twenty
five thousand population would be re-
CURED to give 166 mep. These ap-
portionments would be subject to
slight allowances for alien enemies,
for men who have volunteered and
for other causes.
The population estimates, far from
attempting to show actual population

"FAIR AND WARMER

Avery Hopwood's newest laugh pro-
ducer, Fair and Warmer" whose
fame has run ahead of it to every
quarter of the country, following it's
spectacular success at the Eltinge
theater,@New York, for one year, will
be presented by Selwyn & Company
at the Fargo Auditorium on Thursday
evening.
This captivating farce hit the bulls
eye with such promptness and such
unmistakable precision, that the
capacity business" which was to dis
tinguish it's long New York engage
ment began Immediately on it's first
night. There was never a et-down
thereafter, so that New Yorkers began
to use it as their principal amusement
center, and to take their guests from
out ut-of-town straight from their trains
to Fair and Warmer" The result
was an almost unparalleled wholesale
public approval, resulting in a demand
for the farce from all the cities of
the country. This classic in it's field
will be presented here with an ex-
cellent cast of farceurs.

In connection with the meeting Of
the association the annual exposition
will be staged in the Fargo auditor
ium, and almost every space has al
ready been reserved.
Secretary Lathrop, setting forth the
objects of the association, said in a
to the members:
Why hold convention? Be-
cause we all have problems; old
ones unsolved, and new ones
coming to the front every year.
Roughly speaking our problems
come under these three heads:
"First-Efficient business meth
DDS on our own part. and failure
to work in harmony with each
other.
''Second-Lack OF complete co.
operation between the manufac-
turers and dealers, which might
eliminate some things Of no adj
vantage to either and help to re-
duce the cost of distribution.
"Third-Failure to work in har-
mony with our customers and pos
sibIy failure to realize that per-
manent success is only attained
by making our business an asset to
the community we serve.
In short. it is a lack or co-op-

another; with the manufacturer,
and with the farmer"

THE GARRICK

Never before has little Edna Mayo
had a play more suited to her talents
than in The Return OF Eve, her latest
feature showing at the Garrick today
and tomorrow.
1t tells a story of an old experiment
on the part OF a millionaire who places
two children in the wilderness in the
care of an aged tutor. There they
grow up unspoiled by modern society
attaining the age of 10 years they are
taken from their Eden and plunged
into the gay whirl of modern society
With conditions as they find them
they become disgusted and return to
their Eden

THE ISIS

Mabel Taliaferro is truly herself as
Prue Mason. The Sunbeam, in the film
of that name, the story of which was
written by Shannon Fife, and the
scenario by June Mathis, shown at the
Isis today and tomorrow. The picture
is one that appeals directly and holds
ones undivided attention throughout.
1t has a sympathetic vein which will
appeal to most lovers of the drama
and the manner in which The Sun
beam eventually wins over the stern
old Stephen Rutherford cannot fail to
satisfy even the most fastidious
along these lines.

a photoplay that deals in novel way
with this universal day dream" of
suddenly acquired, unexpected and
unearned wealth. This is the basis of
Sudden Riches, which will be shown
at the Princess theatre today and to-
morrow with Robert Warwick, Clara
Whipple and Gerda Holmes in the

Sunday Labor Improbable

No matter whether you have religious opin-
ions the subject or not the fact is that Sunday
labor in the industries is Improbable. Nature
has intended one day of rest. One day out of
Iseven seems to be the natural sequence of rest
and labor.
The church-goer believes that one day out of
seven should be devoted to the contemplation of
the spiritual. He finds on this day not only sur
cease from labor but also the aesthetic satisfying
Of his religious cravings
The matter-of- fact man uses the day for rec
reation and rest. He figures that his physical
system requires relaxation and ease.
The foolish man works on Sunday as if it were
day for labor. He has not learned that effic-
iiency demands a certain amount of change let
ting down of routine, getting out of the har-
ness.
If a man changes from his regular vocation
to some hobby in which he is interested or to
some work that is congenial because he cannot in
duge in it every day, he will derive full benefit
of the change. Of course, this cannot be classed
as labor. In reality it is relaxation of the high
est and most profitable kind
The most powerful proof against Sunday
work in the industries is the recent report of the
British committee which investigated the health
of munitions workers. The United States De-
partment of Labor summarizes the data thus:
From perusal of these memoranda it ap-
pears that Sunday labor, in the opinion of the
committee, is not profitable and that continuous
work sis profound mistake" and does not lead
to increased output; that system of shifts, al
though impracticable in some cases, is to be pre-
ferred to overtime, since the latter taxes the
strength of workers too severely, results in loss
of time because of exhaustion and sickness, and
curtails unduly the period of rest; that night
work should be discouraged, that output cannot
be maintained at the highest level for any con-
siderable period if the conditions are such as to
lead to excessive fatigue and to deterioration in
the health of the worker with recommendation
that hours should not exceed Sc per week for
men engaged in very heavy labor, or 60 for men
engaged in moderately heavy labor, while Ga
should be a maximum

Think AbOnt This
Genius is the fakulty ov doing think well
that nobody thot could be dun at awl.-Josh Bill
lings.
Why Cities Fail?

Cities fail not because they are poor, not be-
cause they lack keen-minded men, not because
they need more population.
Many of them fail because they do not use the
brains of the whole community. They lag be-
hind because there is no harmonious action be-
hind projects They fall behind their neighbors
because of sefishness, personal greed and indi-
vidual avarice in their citizenship. They are
stagnant because they are not organized for ac-
ton and service. They lack community drill and
disciple, community effort and service.
A Commercial Club is the finest medium ever
invented to promote community service. 1t
brings together the representatives of all inter-
ests for consideration of all their needs and for
the application of remedy that will benefit ev
cry one in the community.
A Commercial Club is not the Servant of
particular class. It's scope embraces the whole
community. A Commercial Club that is true to
it's basic principles could be called Community
Club We want to keep the idea of SERVICE
TO ALL, TO EVERY MAN AND WOMAN, TO
EVERY INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS, IN
VIEW WHEN WE THING OF A COMMERCIAL
CLUB.
A big drive for new members in the re-consti-
tuted and rejuvenated Commercial Club of this
city is now being conducted. t
The local club should contain not few hun
bred but few thousand members. In it every
citizen ought to see an opportunity to improve
himself, his neighbor and his city.
new viewpoint and new ideals characterize
the club now.
Confronting it's president are momentous
questions. He needs the advice, counsel and
heart to-heart cooperation of every citizen.
