A. Dah- len, chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements for the af- fair, at the weekly luncheon meeting of the club Monday. The party, which will take the place of the regular luncheon next Monday, will begin at 6:30 o'clock. Principal speaker at the meeting Monday was Herb Roberts, Bismarck, who spoke on the topic “Preview- Philosophy of Abundance.”’ Roberts discussed the economic system of the world today and concluded that the two great evils now existing, which must be removed for the common betterment of all society, are the in- centive to profit and the fear of pov- | erty. He said that in the present economic setup of abundant goods and services, profits cannot exist, since they naturally depend upon the scarcity of articles offered for sale.
