The Fifth Annual Summer Meeting
of the Red River Valley Development
Association and the Red River Valley
Live Stock Breeders Association held
at Warren on June 20 and q, was the
best and most successful in the history
OF these organizations. While the at
tendance on the opening day was not
as large as was expected. the attend
ance on the second day made up for
this deficiency with interest Warren
was in gala attire to receive visitors
Stores and private residences were be-
decked with flags and streamers in the
national colOrs and large banner
strung across the street at the Great
Northern tracks extended the city's
welcome to all cor1ers in these words:
warren Bids You WelcOme." Never,
we believe, has our city appeared to
better advantage and many compli.
mentary remarks were heard in regard
to the enterprise and prOgressiveness
of our citizens. The meeting, surely,
was big advertisement for Warren.
But the success of the big summer
meeting was not owing to the efforts
of Warren alone, but to the good work
of the officers Of both associations,
who had put in some very strenuous
time for weeks to make the necessary
arrangements. Great credit is due,
especially, to s. NJ. Sivertson, of Crook
ston, President of the Development AS
ISOLATION, and to F.. A. Green. of Ste
phen, and R. c. Mathwig, Of Warren,
Vice Presidents, also to- c. L.. Spauld-
ing. of Warren, of hthe Live Stock
Breeders Association, for their untir-
ing efforts. All the programs were
splendid. The addresses delivered by
truly big men from Canada and the
United States were instructive and in
spring to all who heard them. And.
the patriotic parade on. Friday was a
feature that much better than
words expressed and exempl16ed the
agricultural and Industrial progress Of
the Red River Valley and the patrio-
tism and loyalty Of the people,
The first day Thursday was de-
voted to the meeting of the Red River
Valley Live Stock Breeders Associa-
ton. In the morning an auto tour was
