The business man who says that ad-
vertising does not pay does not adver-
tise. He is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade reports he hears of
his competitor, who does advertise. He
sits in the back of his store, smokes his
pipe and wonders why he isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
should have trade. He not only let's his
neighbor get that neighbor's share of
the business, but good part of his also.
He sees people whom he thought old
friends of his go into hi5 competitors
store and come out with bundles of
goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them.
Why is this SOP 1t is because his COM
petitor let's the public know in an in
telllgent way through the local papers
what he has to sell and when he has 1t.
The successful advertiser looks after
his advertising space as he does his
clerks, He changes his ads. in such a
way the people are attracted by them.
He feels that to make money he must
be willing to spend some; that there is
strong competition in all lines of busi-
ness, and to get his share of the trade
he must advertise, and to do it in the
most skillful and intelligent way. If he
cannot write advertising matter himself,
he seeks the aid of some one who has
made the writing of advertisements
specialist, who will see that
1t is properly written in a catchy and
displayed way-some one whose duty 1t
is to take off the shoulders of a busy
man all the worry of making up an ad.
No business man attempts to cure his
own sickness, pull his own teeth, make
his own clothes or attend to his own
law cases. He employs specialists for
each of these various services, and
saves money by doing it. 1t is through
its language and arrangement that an
gets its business-bringing
qualities. There must be something to
attract public attention and hold it;
Of interest. something out Of
the ordinary, something that is different
from others of the same line Of bust
ness. To give 1t these peculiar features
experience. and the owner of

of such a specialist for the benefit Of

to take advantage Of his services.

How 1t Work. in Jamestown.

The inequalities and unfairness that re.
suit from prosecutions under the prohib-
tory law, says the jamestown Alert, have
been made harshly apparent al the pres
ent term of the district court OF this
county. Several offenders have been
thrown into prison committed to felons'
cells--for retailing liquors. Others have
escaped the greedy clutches of the vicious
statute in manner spoken of as miracu-
lous, if not wholly inexplicable. The
Justice of these results is naturally de-
MED By nearly every fair-minded person
familiar with the facts in each of the
cases brought for trial. The punishment
by mprsonment--by convict's sen.
'ence-for the selling of beer and liquors
that the public demand and have a right
to procure in open market, under the
constitution Of the United States-is 9
relic of ancient vIndictiveness and GER
tain misconception of the rights of gov
eminent in free republic. The impris-
onment penalty in North Dakota's pro-
hibition law Ia a reversion to the. type of
puritanical notions that regulated the
world settlements $40 years ago, and
at one time divided the English nation
into communities of rabid fanatics, keep
ing civilization in the background for
centuries. North Dakota ought to step
out from under such q shadow.

What to DO With an Estray.

Between Nov. and March 81 you can legally
take up an estray only when the same is tres
passing on your premises. After taking up the
animal you must within fifteen days send So
to county paper, and have it advertised in
three issues. The law says So, but the Record
charges So for a single animal and $3 for more
than one, So being tho limit, whatever may be
the number of estrays published by one person
In one notice. If an owner appears he must
pay back to you the amount spent by you for
advertising. II the animal has brands, describe
the brands by registered letter to the secretary
of state. fthe brand Is recorded with that Off
cial, he will inform you who owns the brand.
You must also, in case there is no brand, or, If
branded, the secretary of state knows nothing
OF It, notify the board of county comm issioners
to appoint an appraiser for the animal. If the
appraised value does not exceed $50, and mo
owner appears, the estray is yours at the end of
year without further action. In case the ami
NAL should be appraised at more than $50, and
the owner does not come, at the end OF year
you must report to Justice, who will set date
and place for selling the animal, and advertise
the same for three weeks in county paper and
out of the proceeds of the sale pay to you your
proper fees and charges. If anything then re.
mains (Which is not likely), the justice. after
taking whack at it himself for his own fee.
pays the balance TO the county treasurer. If the
owner appears within six months nd convinces
the county board of his ownership, the money
is paid over to him and he goes on his way a
sadder but wiser man. If the owner does not
show up within six months, the Doodle passes to
the county school fund, and the only way the
owner can ever get 1t back is by marrying u 10.
cal schoolma'am who has saved her salary.

At Steele the snow was very deep, and
the engine ran short of coal. Gen. Gus.

and went to Fort Lincoln. whence they
sent back three or four sleigh.loads of
coal. Tom, Charley Williams and the

the report of this committee will be pre-
sented. John Leask, Fl. R. Lyon and Z.

After discussing some other incidental

meeting. The bulk OF the sheep interests
in the state were represented by the dele
gates who were present, and all took q
deep interest in the meeting. The associ.

continue to prosper.
In the evening the sheepmen held an.
other (informaD meeting at the Sheridan.
where a variety of subjects were dis
cussed. The question of establishing a
securing plant at this place and securing
the old brewery for that purpose was
discussed, and seemed to meet with favor.
Also, there was discussed the question Of
the clubbing together of small shippers in

1t Pays to Foed wheat to std osk.

An Emmons county farmer in Bislnlrck=
Tribune In a recent issue Of the Fargo Fo-
rum I notice that the editor advises
the farmers of North Dakota to buy wheat
options and then not raise any wheat this
year. and thus, by keeping the amount Of
North Dakota's usual wheat crop out of the
market, wheat would advance and the farm
ers would realize more gain on their margins
than they would on a crop.
don't think North Dakota farmers should
go into the gambling business--just yet. at
least. Besides, believe there are other
ways to overcome the prevailing low prices
of wheat. One way is to put up enough
good, thrifty steers, about the 1st of Novem-
Der, to consume our wheat by about the LIST
of April. Such steers are worth in the fall
21 to cents per pound A good 81 year
old, weighing about l,200 pounds, will
gain about 80 pounds per month, or about
400 pounds during the winter About IS
bushels Of wheat ground with good hay will
make him what is called in the Chicago mar
ket fancy steer. Such steers usually bring
fancy prices, ranging in April from to 7
cents per pound. Counting the gain in
weight at that price, and the difference iu
price sold for over cost of the original weight,
and it will readily be seen that VIC have in
the vicinity of $40 profit on each steer for
IS bushels of wheat, with little hay and
work thrown in.
Another way is to put the wheat into good,
thrifty pigs. A bushel of ground wheat
will make from ten to twelve pounds OF
dressed pork. It should always be fed in
it's dry state, and then give them all the pure
water they will drink. To get best results
the pig should be at all times fat enough for
good meat and slaughtered by the time it is
ten months old. Every farmer should cure
all the pork be raises, which is very easy
matter when understood.
notice from the assessors returns that
there is not half hog apiece in North Da-
kota for its inha bitants. There are thou
sands of dollars sent out of the state every
year for pork, and that at from ten to twelve
cents per, pound. If at any time we get a
surplus Of pork product, large amount can
be disposed of in Montana Thus it will be
seen that it is unwise to sell our wheat at 40
TO- SO cents per bushel. E. G. PACKER.
