CAMPAIGN
BEGINS
MONDAY
Neat Little FolderfoP &c, 900
Skermish Distributed at
Luncheon Held Today

A neat little bright-paged folder de-
scribing the Y. nj. c. A. campaign Tor
$4,000 which win begin next Monday
evening was distributed at the noon
day luncheon Of the captains of the
teams, held at the association build
ing today. The folder is also being
mailed to about 1000 people in the
city from whom gifts may reasonably
be expected. The folder explains
thoroughly the purpose of the cam
paign and just how the money re-
ceived will be divided between the
college and city associations and all
other facts on which information may
be desired.
There was a splendid representation
of the captains at the luncheon.
State Secretary A. B. Dale went over
the entire ground carefully. Many
questions were asked and answered
SO that everything was clearly ex-
planned. - .,.. ........-
The big opening banquet will be held
Monday evening at Sis o'clock at the
association gymnasium at which the
more than zoo workers are expected to
be present. 4t E.4
The new word coined by A. F. Hall,
"Spizerinctum," which means the very
essence of enthusiasm was adopted
and it was evident that this quality
was rapidly being developed. 1t is
sure to appear with all its mysterious
and wonderful power at the banquet
Monday evening. General Hatcher
and General Finch have sworn eter-
nal enmity, that is, eternal as long
as the campaign lasts and will have
their team members lined up in good
trim for the great battle.
The question has been asked as to
how the $4,000 which is the goal of
the campaign will be distributed be-
tween the two associations. OF the
$4,000 it is proposed that $4,000 go
to the agricultural college association
to complete the funds necessary for
the construction of their fine new
building and $4,000. will go to the city
association to clear off the building
debt which has been hanging over the
association for ten years.

One of the rare musical treats in
store for the people of Fargo and Moor
head will be presented at the Garrick
theatre on the evening Of Feb. 23. when
Louis Kreidler, one of the most noted
baritones of the country, and with the
Metropolitan Opera Co. and the Cen
fury Opera CO.. appears under the aus
pices OF the Apollo club.
That Kreidler is one of the best is
proven by the press comments on his
work in every place he has sung, the
critics praising the richness, volume
and especially the range of his voice,
which is pronounced wonderful, while
his technique and his Interpretation are
admirable.

Probably the general public in this

which are favorites.
Musical critics go far when they
label Kreidler's voice as the most per-
