4 ‘ SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1922 COMMERCE GLUB NAMES B, B. COX ITS PRESIDENT Board of Directors Hold Meeting) to Reorganize for the En- suing Year New directors of the Commercial club, at a meeting held yesterday at ternoon, elected officers as follows: President—E. B. Cox. Vice president—R. W. Lumry. Treasurer—J. C. Anderson. Roy Logan, ;who had been chosen director, announced he was unable to give the time required for day meetings, and W. E. Perry was elected in his stead. President Cox made the following statement: “The recently elected board of di- rectors of the Commercial club met and organized yesterday afternoon. No member of the present beard has ever been an officer of the club in the past, and for this reason it has been suggested that the president makp a statement of the aims and desires of the board. “It is too early to give a detailed outline of the program intended for the coming year, but the board feels that as the period of business depres- sion is beginning to disappear into the past. the Bismarck Commercial club can again look forward to a year filled with activities and accomplish- ments of a substantial nature. “The board and its officers realize fully their inexperience in:Commercial club affairs, but feel that. the ‘club membership knowing this when. the annual election was held must have intended to individually and collect- ively give not only of their past ex- perience but also ‘their whole-hearted support to the new board and its of- ficers. This is the assumption upon which the present officers are going to proceed. We confidently call upon each and every business man. afd citizen of the city of Bismarck and Burleigh county, members and non- members of the club alike, to forget all past differences, if thete Rave been any, and ardently get behind the or- ganization in order that 1922 may see many new activities well started and plans of the past fully and satisfac- torily matured. “The new board will welcome sug- gestions from any member of the club or any citizen of the city or county, as well as suggestions from other or- ganizations; and in carrying out its plans, we fully expect the whole- hearted support of.every loyal and progressive citizen of the commun- ity.” music, Mr. L.

United Christian Missionary Society here to- day. Dr. Shelton escaped froma brigand camp in China in January, 1920, after having heen kidnapped and held for |ransom for 60. days. Dr. Shelton has. been noted for] years as the missionary who had pen-| ;etrated the-greatest distance into the jinterior of China and the mission sta- tion at Batang was frequently refer- red to us the one “on the roof. of the world.” , The station has been in, operation for about fourteen years and at one | time had a staff of eight workers, Dr. Shelton being accompanied at that time by his wife and two daughters while two of the children of Dr. Charles Hardy and wife were born there. Bandits have infested the country. throughout all of the years the mission station has been in operation but two or three years''ago they became very aggressive and Dr. Shelton, his wife and daughters were captured. The ; women wele allowed to proceed to a village, but Dr. Shelton was held a captive on the demand of ransom. It was thought by. his friends that he was dead, but finally a reporter for the Chicago Tribune penetrated the interior, located his captors and se cured his release. Dr. Shelton hath borne such privation at this time, that the was’ compelled to come to the United States to rest and recuperate and had bu recently returned to his station. Batang is so far into the interior of China that the trip took from five to six months, the last 900 miles of the journey being on horseback.
