TIME TO ADVERTISE.

Those North Dakota counties like
Trail, Walsh and Pembina, which
have lost population during the last
decade, should get busy and advertise
The loss was small in all three, Penn
bina being the heaviest. AS a matter
of fact neither Grand Forks nor Cass
counties have anything to crow over
While the counties show an increase
in total population 1t is less than the
cities Of Fargo and Grand Forks have
made. There is no doubt about the
loss to the counties had the population
of the largest cities in each remained
stationary.
There Is just one way to get popula-
ton these days. That is to advertise
for it. North Dakota has advertised
during the last ten years-and it paid.
Every county, every town in the state
must advertise-to keep in the line of
growth and development
The Red river valley is the richest
agricultural region in the northwest
under proper methods of cultivation.
Every one Of the six counties could
easily accommodate ten times the
present agricultural population. Why
not try to make it at least twice as
much?
AdgStising has doomed other sec
tons OF this state. 1t has added $780,
900 people to Texas in ten years.
Idaho, California, Washington and 9TH
err states have taken advantage of the
opportunity.
The duty Of the people OF the Red
river valley is plain. They must
awaken to their own wealth and pos
sibilities-and proclaim this richness
to the world.
