a Success. 4:

prano: Miss Janet Mckay. contralto;

The .Oratorio society. as sit now
exists, has been organized blu a short
time, and though the chorus includes
but a small number OF voices, very sat
isfactory work has been done. under
Mr.. :Nason's baton, as the choral
numbers. presented last night attested.
The ringing ,Hallelujah chorus from
Handel's Messiah" and "InaMoon-
light Fair" a melodius- offering of
Raff'ss were perhaps the most artistic
OF the numbers which the chorus,
alone, gave. Mr.. Enyeart and Mrs.
Sayre with the chorus, gave two effec-
tive numbers during the first halt, of
the program.
Mr.. Twichell proved to be a singer
of more than a little ability. His voice
is of good quality. particularly in the
upper register, and he gave excellent
Interpretations to the songs which he
had chosen These included !"Vision.
Fugitive" from Massenet's "Herodi-
ade." a. clever little Banjo songf"
by Homer and Morning Hymn" by

ceived as was the duet, Cruelty 10y

IAD CLUB met
LAST NIGHT
Interesting Session Held at
Hotel Frederick-Wilder
Spoke.

One of the most interesting meet
| ings of the Grand Forks Ad club was
| held at the Hotel Frederick last e
ing. Following a banquet. a business
meeting was held at which j. H. Pear
son presided.
the evening, gay a highly interesting
talk on Selling to the Farmer"
Classifying methods, he said that the
first was advertising, second is per-
sonal solicitation. city markets was
the third and store service fourth:
For those in the immediate neigh
borhood advertising through the press
is the most successful method, while
for those who are farther away. a
catalogue or personal or circular let
ter will be most effective. Personal ac-
Quaintances are a large factor IN the
making and holding of farm trade
and the merchant should acquafnt
himself with the home life of the
farmer. This can best be lone by at
tending farmers club meetings, pic
MICS, barn dances. raffles or any place
| of amusement where the farmer is to
be found and making him feel that
YOU are interested in his welfare. The
city market should always be ready
to accept the commodities to be mar
keted and to make the farmer feel
! that he is wanted. Store service, Mr..
| Wilder said, was the most important
factor in creating and holding patron
! age, and is brought about by making
the farmer feel that the store is there
for his convenience.
Importance Of Farm Trade.

less value. These are accomplished by
putting up to him, in the most attrac-
tive the goods that he most

or needs is no good unless he sees
them in a manner that will attract
him. Good roads are another import
is of great value. The mail order
houses take every opportunity to ad-
vertise their goods to the farmer and
the way to overcome the mail order
houses is to heat them with their own
weapon, advertising.

spoke on creating fellowship between
farmer and merchant. Leslie Stinson
