The tender of the gift was accom-
panied by personal expressions OF

for years, and among whom he has
grown, if not from bOyhoOd. at least
from youth, to manhood nd VINO

personal qualities as well as to value
him for the capacity which he has
shown in the performance of the
business duties which have deVolV-
ed upon him.
"All who have known Mr.. Black
regret his departure from the city
and from the work OF The Herald al
though they realize that his removal
To Fargo. to be associated with his
father. N. B. Black, in the work OF
The Forum, was the natural thing, TO
be expected, and mantfestly adVan-
taReous to him both from the stand
point of personal and family relations
and from that of business opportunl-
tv. His friends in Grand Forks wish
for him and his family uninterrupted
haDpiness and success.

FARGO, FEB. Il

Lincoln's birthday Is going to be
celebrated in Fargo this year as
| never before, If the plans of the

n. \. Johnson, e. S. Elliott and John
q. Hogan. The greatest interest in
the project was shown and il is
hoped all these who work with brain
or hands will lend their earnest CO.
operation to the celebration.
Every labor. fraternal and pa
triotiC organization in the city will
be invited to aid in making the
meeting the great patriotic rally
il is designed to be. The plan as
bulllueu tIuDOuleS DIX CnluTGH ,

SPECIAL RATES
FOR ARMY men

Special subscription rates will be
given by The Forum to men and wo-
men in the service of the Unitaa States
fighting forces. whether at home or
abroad.
The frequent repetition Of the
phrase please send me a copy Of
The Forum, or I'VE certainly miss
The Forum, in letters received from
soldiers in the camps and in France
has resulted in the decision to cut
the usual subscription rates in two.
The Forum will share the expense
with those relatives or friends who
want to send the daily paper to the
men in the army. Any subscription
for any member Of Uncle Sans
fighting forces, man or wom-
an, on land or sea. in America or in
France, will hereafter be taken at just
one-half the regular rate. The
rates for those in the service,
therefore, are $3.50 for a year
ly subscription; $1.25 for six months;
and So cents for three months. The
postage, when the paper is sent to
foreign countries, will have to be
added to the subscription price. The
extra postage is 2 cents for each
copy of the paper.

Bryan Downey, the Columbus well
terweight, seems to have stepped well
ahead in the past year and to have
won place of importance among the
best of the class. His victory ovdr
Ted Lewis helped him to this perhaps
more than anything else, but Downey
has developed a Wallop that has the
respect of all who meet him. Not a
particularly clever boxer and yet he
is fast enough to take advantage of
most all the openings that appear.
Also he has developed a clever de-
Tense. Few fighters have stepped out
in front within so short a space of
time as young Downey.

John Foster, secretary Of the N. Y.
Giants. has a collection of baseball
pictures in his Office that are said to
be unsurpassed by any other Of the
sort i'm the country. Among many
other pictures of rare interest to the
lever Of the game are photographs
OF all the worlds series in which
the Giants have had'part. The photo
graphs show interesting contrasts in
the size Of the crowds at the big
games of different seasons and there
Is seen a great difference Of course in
the worlds series of 1908, when the
Giants played the Athletics, and the
most recent one.

Rare Bargains

It isn't necessary for Ted to get

Printers ink beats that all to pieces,
especially when you have bargains

all standard weight goods, is a treat

done every day.-Adv.

Continuing, the report states:
1.-THE powerful united drive by the

ment by two-thirds of each house has,
on grounds of patriotism and of ex-
pediency, been held in check. Your
Committee has not assented to the
view that consideration of our amend
ment is untimely in principle when

earnestly contended that the Ameri-

racy and as a wise measure Of war
preparedness.
But while in theory the nation

questions absorb its attention. Wash

devoted themselves periodically and
unselfishly to the service of their
country and to the winning Of the war.
and have made in this connection a
record of achievement of which the
