dering the delightful, rolicking song,
entitled "Merrily l Roam," she re-
sponded to the persistent encore with
Somewhere Voice is Calling" Miss
Martha Sebby was her accompanist.
Late rim the program Miss Stramrud
sang a Gypsy song, completely cap
tivating the banqueters as they re-
called her by singing eff Knew You
and You Knew Me" in most inimitable
manner. The selections by the or
chestra, as was the singing by the
quartette, were most heartily enjoy
ed and the appreciation of the assem-
blage was voiced in heartiest manner.
The postmaster, at the conclusion
of the entertainment features, ex-
planned the purpose of the gathering
as one where all could meet with mu-
tual good will and confer one with
the other, common purpose actual
ing their motives as well as their
aims. Each one present was called
upon for remarks, the majority Of
those responding, expressed their ex-
perience in business way, frequent
" illustrating their remarks with a
trite saying or witty story. The gen
eral tenor of the dealers remarks
was to the effect that they were I'M
able to secure enough cars and that
their stock Of parts was useless to
them as there was no demand for
parts.

MS ideas are so practical, so pertinent

his ideas are so practical, so pertinent
to the trade generally, that his round
ly turned periods were lost sight of
in consequence Of the simple, homely
phraseology in which they were
couched. Interspersed thruout his
talk on autos, finance, tires and the
trade were humorous references and
trite sayings that kept his auditors in
a delightful state of expectancy every
moment of the time consumed by his
speech. Mr.. Templeton is particu-
larry shrewd, observant businessman
and not man in the room but felt the
aptness of his every remark. We
give few of the ideas he brot out:
clean quarters, not simply clean but
neat; goods well displayed and proper
ly advertised; the advantage derived
from an accurate system Of account
ing; systematizing the various depart
ments of your business; prompt reply
to correspondence; avoid mistakes, yet
mistakes are sure to occur,
cur, can empty vessel never slops
over" never "knock" the other fell
lows products, you might better be
boosting your own, knocking creates
suspicion. Mr.. Templeton related a
conversation which he recently had
with Major General Moses, just re-
turned from the Mexican border, in
which the Major General stated that
the Dodge Brothers car would have
been the only car used on the border
if the government could have secured
q sufficient supply of them. AS Mr..
Templeton concluded his remarks,

annual BANQUET
Eighty Guests Enjoy One of the Most
Pleasant Affairs of its Kind
Minot Has Known.

The McKinney-F'uller Motor Co.,
whose head offices are in this city,
with branch establishments at Grand
Forks, Williston and Glasgow, Mont,
gave banquet Friday evening, at the
Leland, their guests being the various
dealers handling the Dodge Brothers
car in this territory and number of
distinguished guests, A. c. Templeton,
district representative of the Dodge
Brothers Motor Co. of Detroit, Mich,
his assistant, Mr.. Hupp, Secretary of
the Minot Association of Commerce,
Will E. Holbein; II. j. Halvorson,
president of the First International
bank,
The tables were beautifully decor
ated with candles and white carna-
tions, and the menu left nothing to be
desired so far as the wants of the in
ner man are concerned. AS he was
seated, each guest found at his plate
a handsomely bound booklet, entitled
"Good WILL" the embellishments and
lettering being gold and blue. This
little volume will be treasured by the
recipients, as it contains many
sparkling gems of literary merit. Be
side the booklets were Autographed
catalogues, copied from pen and ink
sketches of the various designs of
Dodge Brothers cars, and an oxydized
silver watch fob, the latter accompan-
led by big fat Roi-Tan was present
ed with the compliments of the Kel-
ley-Springfield Tire Co. Last but not
least, in point of artistic setting were
the menu cards, handsome specimens
of the typographer's art, which by
the way were the production of a local
print shop. This card was so original
in conception that we herewith repro
duce it for the benefit of our readers,
who may profit from the suggestions
it will afford; particularly is this true

Bucnos Aires is to Argentina what Paris is to France-the center of tn; national industries. thought and cuI turc. Commerce. journalism. politics. the drama. music. literature. art and social life are intensely focused there. The brilliant activity of the greatest city of the southern hemisphere the fourth city of the Americas after New York, Chicago and Philadelphia draws the Argentines to it as flame attracts moths. and one-fifth of the population of the country struggles there in fever ish competition for pleasure and gain.

City 10 Self Conscious.

The city life is conscious of itself, the small town life is not. asserts Seymour Deeming in the Atlantic. An army of fairly competent minds is busy interpreting the life of the city to it. self, and this so thoroughly that not a teamster or ribbon counter clerk of the urban lot but has his spokesman in the public prints and partakes somewhere of the typical. And the sales person who has once seen sales people elevat- ed to the rank of printed or acted com edy or tragedy is conscious of new sense of personal consequence whic h years of obscurity are powerless wholly to erase. To have had ones social set ting touched by the wand of art is to have shaken hands with a celebrity i; life is never afterward quite the same drab commonplace.

 If you die before you are eighty-five years old you come to an untimely end" Earl Barnes of New York, an exponent of longevity and defer of Dr. Osler, made large audience sit up and take notice when he made this statement recently.
 "Thirty-fve per cent of the worlds greatest work has been done in the agc decade between sixty and seventy years, 21 per cent between seventy and eighty, and 6 per cent above eighty"
 Mir. Barnes cited a score of political. scientific, philosophical, commercial and military leaders who are just be- ginning tbeir work at sixty years.
 "The man who does one thing con- tinuously is old at forty" he said. "But get out and study. travel and broaden your horizon. If you are wO- man, don't put your broom in the same corner every day. Hide 1t. Break up your routine or you are lost.

 GO THROUGH POCKETS

HOW SOAP WORKS.
k Cleans eecauss It Emuisifiss the Oil
 That Holds the c'rt.

FIoios tUu 's
 Why does soap take out the dirt? The answer to thls question has been argued many times by chemists. and as cleanliness is necessary and enor, nous quantities of soap have to be used it is well that we should know how soap does its work.
 It is fat or oil that especially makes things dirty. If only we can melt or get rid of the oil on hands or clothes we soon can make them clean. and the real use of soap is that 1t disposes of oil. It does this in at least two ways. Most soaps have in them a great deal of alkali. This alkali dissoives the oil.
 But soap takes the dirt from things in another way. as we know when we use soaps that have no alkali in them at all. It has the power of breaking ull oil into n number of tiny little drops, with all the dirt that the oil has col lected.
 A collection of tiny drops of oil held in some other fluid is called an emul- sion. Water alone will not form an emulsion of any oil, because oil and water will not mix. That is the reason why we cannot get clean with water alone. But when water has soap dis. solved in it it is able to make an emul- sion of the oil on anything we are washing and so make it clean.-EX- change.
