ADVERTISING THE STATE.
Commissioner 0ilbreath Has Effective
Plan TO Interest fasteners.

The department of agri-
culture and labor has recently
adopted unique method of
attracting the notice of the
country at large to the many
opportunities for procuring a
home or employment in this
state, and also to the splendid
field offered for investment to
persons of means and looking
for more enlarged sphere of
operation. This has been ac-
complished by, the insertion of
brief, pithily worded ADVERTISE
ments in New York Phila-
de]pllia, Cleveland, Chicago,
Peoria, Sioux City and other
leading papers in their respec-
tive localities, inviting the pub
lies attention to this state and
offering the departments aid
in placing the wants of those
answering the advertisements
before the people of North Da-
kota. The number of answers
received up to the present time
has been very satisfactory and
these in turn have been briefly
summarized and tabulated by
Commissioner Gilbreath and
sent to all the commercial clubs
in the state, and there is every
reason to believe that by this
means many highly desirable
merchants, mechanics and
farmers will be induced to
make their future homes with
us.
The secretary of the Com
mercial Club of Bottineau re-
ceives these lists of answers
from Commissioner Gilbreath
regularly and they are on file
at the Courant office. Anyone
interested may call and look
them oyer at them any time.

paid for the arrest and con-
viction of any one found inter
fering with our telephone

Make Your Ad Interesting.

To no other branch" of his
business does the village mer-
chant give less attention than
to his advertising, while as a
matter of fact, no other part of
his business requires more at
tention, says the Anti Mail
Order Journal.
The people who read the
local country papers read them
more thoroughly than those
who read the metropolitan
papers. They read the adver-
tisement of John Smithers,
dealer in dry goods, furniture,
etc. But that is not all. 1t is
dull reading and makes no i'm
preston upon the mind of the
reader.
There is nothing new or sem
sational, not thrill of emotion,
in hundred pages of it, so it
is passed by almost unnoticed.
The reader may want some
thing in the dry goods or fur
niture line, but there is nothing g
in the cold, unwelcome sort of
general invitation ad. to make
him feel that John Smithers is
the man he wants to buy from.
In another paper or maya
zine he reads Henry Jones' ad-
vertisement. 1t is. carefully
studied, we'll worded plain, too,
but it states that Henry Jones
is making a specially of a
certain line of dry goods or
furniture; that he is offering
an especial bargain in certain
lines. The price is given. It
is attractive. The ad. is an in
vitation to call or write. It is
filled with warmth of feeling,
sounds genuine and appeals to
the reader. Henry Jones gets
the readers trade.
Too many village merchants
look upon their local news
paper advertising as a sort of
tribute they are obliged to give
the local editor and not as an
investment made for profit, and
the copy they furnish for such
advertisement generally bears
out this proposition.
No greater error was ever
made by them. Properly. writ
ten, with force. spirit and in
terest in every line of his ad-
vertisement, the village mer-
chant will find his business can
be largely increased and the
mail order monopoly most woe
fully affected.
Nothing in fact, will conduce
so effectively toward putting
an end to the mail order evil as
the publication of good, attrac-
tive advertisements in the
home paper.
We cannot too strongly urge
upon all merchants who wish
to do a good business. who
wish to destroy the mail order
monopoly and who sincerely
desire to improve their home
towns the importance of max
ing their advertisements read
able, interesting and attractive.

Christianity is now becoming pop

Should we ever allow ourselves to

Paul be apt to emphasize concerning
the kingdom of God?"
Verse 24.-Would those who be-
lieved Paul's testimony, be the relig-

sin, and his moral nature is deadened

is it law of God that sin deadens

Residents of this city will easily
recall the debut of Carl Temple, who
came here from the San Juan coun-
try two or three months ago, and
chose to advertise himself first as
the champion wrestler of the San
Juan, then as champion of the state,
and later of the Middle West. He
might have yet made 1t champion of
the world, but his career here came
to an abrupt close through lack of
public interest in his physical culture
poses. He couldn't pay before he
left, and felt it utterly impossible to
stay and pay. Many are yet grieving
over their losses, which range from
S1.50 to $40, but they are not alone
in their grief, it seems. judging from
reports coming from Leadville and
Grand Junction. Temple was recent
ly arrested in Leadville on advice
from officers at the Mesa county
metropolis, who had warrants charg-
ing him with forgery. Demo-

l.. d. Dawson, charged with em-
bezzlement of the public funds while
acting in the capacity of deputy
county treasurer, entered a plea of
not guilty in Justice Kennedy's tri-
bunal a few days ago and waived a
preliminary hearing. In default OF
bail in the sum of $1,000, he was re
manded to the county Jail to await
trial before Judge Champion of the
district court some time during the
present term. Dawson's peculations
while in the county treasurer's office
will probably not exceed $500 OF
$500, which is secured by property
belonging to the defendant and now
in the possession of his bondsmen.

After all is said and done we will
nave TO come around to the proposi-
tion sooner or later that oar irrigated
lands are too valuable for wheat
growing. Still under present condi-
lions they pay better at growing
wheat than at raising four per cent
cattle or even hogs at an average of
SIX cents. Actual practice is a good
basis upon which to form theories
and we are demonstrating a whole
lot of things about the progress of
agriculture right here in Colorado by
growing a few staple crops that the
people must have. This wheat busi-
ness howeevr, looms up like a ghost
In fog. The east is worn out. the

gated country will find something
