Advertising Sold the Wagons.

Souris Messenger: A short
time ago we had an article
headed Does it pay to adver-
tise'' which was taken from
one of our exchanges, and
since that time we have had a
case in our town which goes to
show that it does. A short
time ago Erickson & Olson re-
ceived large stock of wagons
and went to work and adver-
tised the fact in the Messenger.
It was not long until their
stock was exhausted and they
still had a call for more. Thus
we contend that advertising, if
carried on judiciously, will pay
big to the advertiser and the
above case is only one of many
that will substantiate our con-
tentiOns.

The following item in the
Grand Forks Herald has re-
ference to a former editor of
the Courant: Ed Smith, who
will be remembered as former
resident of Grand Forks, while
doing things on the Evening
Press a year or so ago, has
blOssOmed out as an attorney
down at Cakes and appeared
before Judge Allen in land
case in which the petitioners
wanted certain tracts of land
now within the corporate limits
of Cakes dumped outside. The
Judge decided he didn't have

lar favor. He is clean cut and
honest and makes a good
impression everywhere he ap-
pears. He convinces people of
his ability and his earnestness
and creates the impression that
he is safe and sane-and will
make the state good executive.
He has had wide experience
as teacher, editor, lawyer and
legislator. He is peculiarly
qualified for the place to which
he has been nominated and
there is nothing in either his
public or private life at which
any republican voter can object.
The republicans have a good
clean candidate if the
signs of the times mean any
thing-they indicate that G. A.
johnson of Minot will be the
next governor of North DOkota.

he didn't seem pleased. In the

He went to him and shook him

three numbers and season tick
cts will be sold for $3.50. They
can be procured of the secre-
tary, u. X. Carlson at the
Courant office, or at the Botti-

to everyone. The first number

pany comes January II. The
date for the third number-the
Midland Jubilee Singers
not been determined.
There are few men on the
lecture platform who have
made as great success as
Thomas McClary. He has the
humor of an Artemus Ward
combined with the rare oratory
and learning of a Wendell Phil
lips. He has done as much to
make the lecture popular, and
at the same time instructive,
as any man in the lyceum field.
Nature has endowed Mr.. Nc
Clary with face and figure
like that of Lincoln and Emer-
son and Sol. Smith Russell,
and the same power with which
to make an audience laugh or
cry. His ideas are fresh, his
illustrations apt, and his wit
keen.
The Wilbur Starr Concert
company filled 1SO dates the
past winter and has had two
ChautauQua seasons full to run
ming over. Mr. Starr gave up
a large salary as dean of music
department, University of Mis-
scuri, to head this company.
Previous to that time he taught
at Lincoln in Wesleyan univer-
sity, and University of Nebras-
ka. He was with the Castle
Square opera three seasons.
He studied with MereschalChi
and Young, in Chicago; with
Savage, Kraft, Leisegang and
Fichandler, in New York, and
with Webster in London, Eng
land.
The Midland Jubilee Singers
have an enviable reputation.
During the past two years they
filled several hundred winter
engagements and have sung
at twenty or more chautau-
quas each summer.
1t was the orr ginal intention
of the officers to secure speak
er of national reputation as a
fourth number and charge So. 90
for season tickets, but the politi-
cal campaign has made this inn
possible. However, if there is
a surplus on hand from the sale
of tickets at the end of the
year another number will be
provided free of cost to ticket
holders, the money applied on
a course for the following year
or refunded to ticket holders.
We trust our citizens will
respond literally in the pur-
chase of tickets. The course
of entertainment offered is worth
twice the price of the season
tickets.
Holders of season tickets may
