TONS . ‘CAN DO IN HIS GHI’S COMMENCEMENT ORATOR LIVING EXAMPLE OF WHAT BOY “OLD HOME TOWN” The pages of romance are filled with the stories of boys\who left their old home town and went to the cities and Made good there; or who followed, Greeley’s advice, and went west. We have also asa popular ‘character of fiction the\boy who left his old home town in disgrace and came back, just in_time to lift the family mortgage. Tonight ‘Bismarck has as its com- encement orator for the: graduating xercises of the Class of 1919 of the capital city high a man who is a liv- Ing example of a boy who’ settled down in his old home town and made good there. He is Curtis M. Johnson, born in Rush City, Minn., a graduate of the Rush City high school; today president of the First National Bank of. Rush’ City, in which post he: suc- ceeded his father upon the latter's death two weeks ago, and a man whose pep and punch have won hin fame throughout the ninth federal re serve district, Enthusiasm His Watchword. All ar’ agreed that if a thing’s worth! doing. at all, it’s worth doing well. Curtis M. Johnson goes a step fur- ther and. has builded his life on the theory, that if a thing's worth doing | at all {t’s worth doing enthusiastically. Mr. Curtis’ particular line is hardware, a commodity in which there isn't a whole Jot of romance or sentiment, but the hardware game played the way, Mr. Johnson has played it, “is| Something else again,’ as our old friend Mawruss would put it. j Mr... Johnson played ‘the game in Such a@ Way’as to win the presidency of the National Retail Implement, Dealers’ association, and to become a member of the state fair ‘board of Minnesota, for which he handles the automobile and implement section of the’ annual state exposition. And, as he went along, he talked now and then before associations of fellow dealers, ‘and finally the editors of Northern Minnesota heard of him and { last annual convention at Wadena, and there A. R, Rogers of St. Paul, chair- man of the Ninth district war loan ors ganization, ‘heard him. His Pep Contagious. Everyone was a trifle afraid of the Victory loan at that time, The war Was over. One heard more of old General Apathy than of Generals Foch ond Pershing. Rogers was preparing to frame up his war loan organization for the Ninth district, and he felt that it must be better than any of its four predecessors. When he heard John- Son, he said: “There's the man I want to put pep into the Victory Joan drive.” And, Rogers like, he immediately went after his objective, and, Mr, Jolnson as> promptly aécepted the Job. ‘That job was to put enthusiasm in- to the men who were to put millions jof bonds into the pockets of Ninth dis- trict patriots. He was sent about to + larger centers in Minnesota, Wis- consin and North and South Dakota to talk to the leaders, His job was to in- spire them with some of: his own en- chusieent and ‘pep and‘punch, and he did it, At Fargo the Bismarck and Burleigh county Victory loan workers heard him last winter. They came home filled with marvel for-the talk that. he had given them. ‘Théir fears and doubts had dissolved. There was no question about the Victory loan going over, “and wasn’t that fellow Johnson a wonder!" And that’s how it chances that Bis- marck tonight has an ‘opportunity to hear Curtis M. Johnson of Rush City. Minn., deliver the-commencement ad- ss at the ‘municipal auditorium. Mr. Johnson is a graduate of Ham- line university. “I can’t talks-that’s the reason 1 get my crowds with me,” he said to day. But Bismarck / knows better, which is one reason why the big audi- invited him, to talk to them at their daiwrrrnrr~r- torium will be fille dthis evening.
