-as Dinner This Week

With much Gathering of typewri.,
ers and scratching of pens, the
forces are, mobilizing for the active
drive of the Commercial Club. A
small staff of stenographers is kept
busy all day long, compiling lists,
correcting names and addresses,
phoning workers and in dozen diff
ferent ways, building up the piece of
machinery that is going to make it
possible for Bismarck to posses a
real Hive modern Commercial Club.
Campaign Headquarters in the
First Guaranty Bank Building, is
the scene Of much hustle and hustle,
and the place is a regular hive of
activity. A mailing list with thou
sand names on it, calls for a consi-
derable amount of addressing of en-
velopes, sorting Of printed matter,
folding of literature, inserting and
sealing. In spite Of the rush though,
and the appearance of confusion,
every detail of office technique is
completed exactly on schedule time,
and with the minimum of effort and
worry.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, the American
City Bureau representative here, is
a great believer in the value of
charts for explanatory purposes ana
it is worth a visit to headquarters to
study the campaign details in gra-
phic form. NJ
The Campaign Calendar
One large chart, termed the
Campaign Calendar" is covered with
multicolored slips. Each different
color indicates a mailing, that must
go out or a piece Of literature that
must be taken to the printer, or o
meeting of one of the many commit
tees or letter to be written and so
on. Every detail of the campaign
is mapped out in Advance, and the
meetings and talks and office rou.-
inc of the drive, fit into each other
like the cogs in an intricate piece Of
machinery.
Another chart is entitled "Com!
mittee Organizations On this
acrd are listed all the dozens OF COM
mittees, the names of the members,
their addresses and phone numbers,
and the duties Of each committee.
It is a concise yet complete record
of the part each and every man Of
Bismarck is taking in the building
of the new organization. Still an
other chart is called "Team Organ
ization." On it, at the head, is print
ed the name Of the Colonel Of Teams,
C. r. Simpson. Under his name is
P. r. Fields, the lieutenant colonel
of teams. Then, in four vertical
columns beneath this, are tabulated
the four divisions, the majors name
at the head, the four team captains
following. A glance shows how
each captain has progressed in 'fill-
ing up his team with workers, it
tells, the division and team that any
individual is working in, his business
and phone number, and district OF
the city that the team has to cover
Other charts on the walls of cam
paign headquarters show the teams
organizations of drives in other
cities, photographs of the workers
in other campaigns, charts explain
Ing how dollar is spent in the
building of city and another tell
ing of the opportunity that women
have Of playing an important part IN
civic affairs ...

cards mailed out with the invita-

to headquarters at once. Reserva-
tions will be made only in the order
that these are received. Many peo-
pie we're disappointed in not being
able to secure seats to hear DR.. r.

last Thursday night. DR.. Frank
Jaynes, who is the principal sneaker
FOR the Civic Dinner. is considered

as an orator and needless to say,
everybody who heard DR.. Bready /;
