HE War of the Chesaneake.

The war of 1912 sometimes is called
the war of the Chesapeake. Several
years before war was declared she
was on a practice cruise across the At
lantic. She was challenged by Brit
ish ship of war and ordered to give up
TOUR men who had deserted from the
British navy. Captain Barron, her
commander, refused. The British YES
sci opened fire, killing and wounding a
number of Americans. After an inef-
fectual defense the Chesapeake struck
her colors to the Briton and delivered
up the men wanted Three Of these were
American citizens who had been i'm
pressed into the British service. It
was such Infamous acts as these on the
part Of Great Britain that caused the
war of 1912.

the legality of the organization of
the county board.
The act under which Koochich-
ing county was created and the
application therefore named board
of five, county commissioners, the
name of each member being con-
tanned in the application.
Among the names in the appli-
cation is that of Mr.. Bowman, who,
before the creation of the county,
removed from with in the territory
of the county and failed to qualify,
leaving the board with but four CON-
'missioners.
There is no way or law which
gives the remaining members author
ity to appoint an additional member
and, as these members are selected
as board of county commissioners
at large, there is no chance for the
calling of a special election by the
chairman Of the town boards TO fill
this vacancy.
The hearing of this order will be
held before Judge McClenahan at
Rrainerd on the 18th of this month.
This proceeding will no doubt be
a long drawn out affair and delay
the building Of the Koochiching
county court house for some time.

ADVERTISING CHAT.

1t can not be said too often that
one advertisement does not make a
successful campaign, anymore than it
is possible for the prOverbial lone
swallow" to make summer"
Even experienced advertisers are
prone to look forward with pleasur-
able anticipation to the results Of
some one pet" ad, although they
know that it is the continuous ham
mering away which really counts.
Like the water which wears away
stone, the ceaseless appeal to the
public wears away their armour Of in
difference and gives place to lively
demand for an advertised commodity,
finally resulting in a steady string Of
inquiries or orders.
There have been only few ads
written which were SO clever. 50
petinenU, 50 apt and 50 timely that
tangible results could be traced to one
ad alone. Purity, quality, quantity
and prices summarize the arguments
in favor of every good ad that was
ever written.
The influence Of an unbroken line
Of good ads, extending over several
years of time, is distinct selling
power. Continuity is the dynamic
forces which directs and controls that
power which is inherent in publicity
backed by discerning intelligent and
an appreciative knowledge Of human
nature.

THE SHOW
WINDOW DISPLAY


Too many merchants lose sight of
the advertising space wasted by them
n not keeping a nice display of sea-
sonable goods IN their windows.
They give every detail of their bust
ness personal attention, except the
window. This is a mistake, no matter
if your store is located in the most out
Of the way place, or even on the cOun-
try crossroads, the sight Of neat ar
ray Of goods in a clean window will
attract the eye of every paSser-by. 1t
is suggestion and often leads TO the
purchase of goods that would other
wise be uncalled for.
Much depends on the character of
the display and whether your goods
are seasonable. No use making dis
play of over-coatS, gloves and caps in
early spring, or of lawns and straw
goods in the fall, but keep in season,
and remember that the life of window
display is not long.
You get tired of seeing goods lay
around from week to week. Just so
does the passer-by get tired and loose
interest in looking at the same display
of dust covered, fly specked goods
from week to week.
Make an impression. Let people
think you are selling goods so fast that
you need what you have on display to
supply the demand and therefore, put
something new in your window often.
Mr.. Merchant Try this plan for a
while and see what the results will be.
Don't forget that window display adj
vertising is so much space you can use
that costs you nothing but little
labor.
