his administration the number OF
clubs in North Dakota has been con-

Ing the nomination, Minnesota has
taken the lead from North Dakota by
one club, having 81 now to the 80 with
which North Dakota long led the dis

established six new clubs last year,
North Dakota established 19. South
Dakota sticks at seven clubs. the
number 1t has had for several years.
AS to Bismarck, it Is third In the
international new club contest. with
Minot first in the number OF new
clubs sponsored, and Columbus, Ohio,
second. It is planned to put Bismarck
in the lead before going to Minot, and
one of the first new clubs to be
formed probably will be one at Steele.
