Harnwell retired ‘from the presidency of the Commercial club Tuesday night, af- ter his term of one year, he prepared a resume of the year’s activities, al- though it did not go into detail and much of the actual work was not ;ouched upon. However, the resume gives one an excellent idea of the line of work of the organization the past year. The repofts was as fol- lows: T The promotion of war garden ac- tivities and the campaign to bring under cultivation idle acres in this seetion of the county. The securing of the Jefferson High- way route through this city. The assistance rendered “our rep- resentative in ‘the legislature in se- curing an appropriation for our state normal_school. The ‘entertainment of the Outing ‘magazine touring party and’ the promise it holds forth of publicity for ‘the city as a summer resort. The securing of the annual con- vention of the Northern Minnesota State Sunday School association, ‘“which ‘convenes in June and will bring at least one thousand non-resi- * dent delegates to this city. The recognition given our summer visitors . in ‘the writing of personal letters, expressing the appreciation of - the: city in having entertained them at our various resorts and the replies received that may be used in publicity work. The effort’ to secure @& star route encircling Lake Bemidji which should add to the attractiveness of summer residence on the shores of Liake Bemidji and afford an oppor- tunity to our business men to secure in conmnection with the same a deliv- ery system around the lake. It will also afford passenger service around the lake. The location of the Short Turn Tractor plant in Bemidji and the prospects held forth of its develop- ment into a strong industrial factor: in the development of the city. The. courtesies extended through the club to visitors to our city. The holding of the Wool Growers’ convention which has secured for us publicity throughout the country. . The holding of a conference je- tiveen the officials of the Northwest- ern Telephone Co. and the rural tele- phone companies centering at our local exchange, and the prospect of improved service and an extension of service. - The formation of a farm bureau organization, making it possible for us to secure a county farm agent gol‘t)h a federal appropriation of §1,- The holding of a farmers’ potato and poultry show and the free din- ner given the farmers. The attention given to war activit- ies has occupied the time of the club to a great extent. The Liberty Loan drives, the Y. M. C. A..drive, and the Red Cross Christmas drive for membership have been furthered by the club. Special courtesy has been shown those- in the service.
