Was Compelled

Some merchants speak disparaging-
~ of advertising. They contend that
1t is largely a needless expense and
that it only means so much money
thrown to the newspaper publisher.
This is true unless advertising is in
diligently done. On the other hand,
the merchant who advertises, gets the
business. A conspicuous example of
this was a stand taken by VIM.
Donaldson of the Minneapolis Glass
Block q year or nor ago. The news
papers of Minneapolis had been rails
ing their rates from month to month
as their circulation increased and Mr..
Donaldson thought they were unrea-
sonable and decided to quit newspaper
advertising entirely.
He had by far the handsomest and
largest store in the city. He had also
the most central location, both as to
street car accommodations and the re-
tail district and believed he could be
independent of the newspapers. He
posted big placards over his store,
stating that in the future he would save
the expense of advertising and give it
to his patrons in reduced prices. A
consequent cut was made in all prices,
But from the day the advertising
stopped, trade began to fall off. After
the lapse OF a fortnight, the Glass
Block was losing its grip on the trade
and to get it back was the problem.
Mr.. Donaldson swallowed his pride
and went back to the newspapers and
his trade returned.-Ex.

Burglary at Finley
Farmers Store Robbed of
Some Cash. Many
Notes Taken

The Steele County Farmers
Cooperative Merchantile Co.'S.
store at Finley was entered last
Sunday between midnight and
daybreak by safecrackers, who
succeeded in doing a frst-class
job and getting away with $40 to
$500 in cash and notes to the
amount Of $4,000. It so hap
pened on this particular night
that the bookkeeper, Elmer Arch
er, had taken most Of the curren-
cy, some $500, to his room, which
had it been left in the safe would
have made a good haul. There
is no doubt but it was the work
of experts. The explosion was
not heard and nothing Of the af-
fair was known until nearly noon
Sunday. The robbers made
good their escape by stealing a
team belonging to Merchant
Windness. The team was found
Monday near Portland, but the
buggy and harness has not been
located. It is not at all likely
that the men will ever be caught
as they made good their escape
far ahead of their pursuers.

Jack the pepper

Some unknown creature I'VE
would hardly call him a man)
has been making the rounds a.
mong the residences of Hope
within the last few days and in
speeding the houses after night
fall. At one or two of the houses
he was seen by the occupants,
which in these cases were women
but in the dark it was impossible
to Identify him. At one house
he stood for some time close up
to the window, watching the lone
occupant of the room. At anoth-
er house he was observed by a
neighbor who watched his move
ments for a while and then tele-
phoned. Before anyone could
get out of the house he had dis
appeared. The residents of the
town, including a number of the
women, are becoming greatly
wrought up over the actions of
the miscreant and are loading
revolvers and shotguns in the
hope of catching the culprit on
some of his nocturnal visits. In
case they do it is pretty certain
that there will be a funeral with
mighty few mourners.

Are Warned

Secretary W. c. Macfadden OF tho
North Dakota Bankers association
has just been advised of the latest
swindle in the banking business, and
he is sending out notices to the North
Dakota bankers who belong to the
membership.
A copy of one OF the warnings reads
IS follows:
IA swindler going by the name of
Spicer went to an attorney at one
town and told him he lived on a farm
betweenttwo other towns not far dis
tert and said a farmer near where he
lived owed him s170. He desired the
attorney to notify the farmer to pay
this account at once or suit would be
brought. The attorney being we'll &C.
quainted with the farmer he referred
to, notified him as requested, and by
return mail the following day received
q long reply to his letter and also a
check signed with the farmers name,
drawn on q bank near a town in
which he lived, amounting to $40. The
same day that the attorney received
theletter ind check, the man Spencer
sgain ca1led and the attorney paid
him the full amount of the check, less
his ~ownscharges, and sent the farmer
afreceipt. Asssoon as the farmer re-
ceived the receipt, he informed his
bank that he had issued no such
check and instructed them not to pay
it IT presented. It developes the
swindler or confederates had watched
for the delivery Of the letter from the
attorneysto the farmer and had alb
stracted2it from the farmers rural de-
livery mail box and answered it, and
enclosed the forged check. The swim
dler then took the same train that the
mail went on and thus was able to
call upon the attorney shortly after
the letter was received. The man
Spicer is described as follows: About
i've feet eight inches high, and the
main feature whereby he can be
identified Is that when he talks his
front teeth show and one front tooth
overlaps the other. Forum.

"Prove It'll Prove III"

Edward Stevens, the actor, first de-
cided he was born to go on the stage
when he was a young man in San
Francisco. He tried for several en-
gagements and got none in the drama.
Then he thought he would make a

to the leading variety house and was
shown into the managers Office. The
manager was an old German, very
cross and busy, and with no high
