church under the direction OF the

very finest aggregations Of musicians
in the city and never was this choir
more th"roly enjoyed.

E. Howard, J. II. Cotton, Otto Ellison

the Business and Professional
Women's club at the Normal.
Nearly 200 business and profess
sional men attended the Civic dinner
at the Association of Commerce rooms
Tuesday evening. The dinner was
served by the ladies of the First Lu
theran church. Music was furnished
by the Union Ragadores. Carl E.
Danielson presided. Mr.. Danielson
gave carefully thot out address, re-
viewing the part that the Association
of Commerce has played in the de-
velopment of Minot and the entire
community during the past year,
making plea for the continued sup
port of that institution. The Asso-
citation is free from debt with some
money in the bank. Minot has re-
ceived much favorable advertising
thru securing the new Trinity Hospi-
tai, which with st. Joseph's hospital
gives our city two first class hospi-
tails. The Association of Commerce
has been back of the movement.
The 100000 more" settlers cam
paien has brot some resultsA This
campaign has ccmented Minot TO the
other northwestern communities. The
other towns have come to realize that
the bigger Minot becomes, the better
for the other communities on account
of improved markets. The potato
warehouse has been established and
farmers are assured cash for their
product. Good potatoes are now in
demand at $1.00 a bushel. Altho
thousands of dollars worth Of pota-
toes were left in the ground, many
growers will stay in the business.
They have learned considerable this
year and will do even better next year:
The Association has backed the Ward
County Fair. Mr.. Danielson stated
that the budget for the coming year
calls for $500 traffic expense, which
should result in a big saving on
freight rates for our merchants. Mr..
Danielson urges Community House
or Y. M. C. A. for our boys and says
our girls should not be overlooked.
