With Miss Garbutt.

A complete surprise to Mr.. Rogers
on last evening was the birthday par
ty given in his honor by Miss Eula
Garbutt at her home on Broadway.
Mr.. Rogers, being a gentleman and
not at all averse to having birthdays,
had mentioned the fact that he was
expecting one this week and Miss Gar
butt, having an engagement with him
for the evening, decided to surprise
him with party.
And she did.
The situation at last dawned upon
him when several couples came in
and each one offered congratulations
and expressed their good wishes for
many other birthdays. At $3.50 the
guests were invited to the dining
room. Place cards were limericks,
composed on each guest by the host
ess and illustrated.
The laughter and good will it oc-
casioned among the guests put them
in a very merry humor for supper,
which was served in four courses, pre-
pared in part on the chatting dish, on
which Miss Garbutt excels in cook
ing.
The guests for the evening were
Misses Myrtle Frame, Hallette Fraley
Sadie Hail.; Messrs. John Freeman,
Prather, Harreld and Rogers.

win Do His Own
Irrigation on Farm
Work WIN Not be Entirely Com
plsted This Year But a Fair
Trial Can be Given

A, T. Atkinson has filed a water
right on Painted Woods Lake and
is arranging to convert the water
On SW4 Sec. II, Twp. 143, Range
81. He has contracted with Jake
Beaureau to have this quarter OF
land plowed up this spring and
the ditch from the lake to Mr..
Atkmson's land is now under con-
struction. A 10 horse power
gasoline engine will be installed
for pumping purposes and Mr.
Atkinson has hopes of getting
some use of the water for this
years crop. In these parts this
venture is somewhat in the nature
of an experiment and many people
owning land along the Mis-
souri, river will watch this under
taking with much interest. Should
the venture prove success and
become practical many similar
projects will be undertaken along
the river. Some are considering
the advisability of pumping the
water from the river and divertine
it on adjacent lands and others are
advocating the we'll system which
is general in the parts of Washing
ton. We look for considerable
development along this line dur
ing the next few years and i
would seem entirely practical tt
work out a number Of small pro-
positions to cover from so to 2OC
acres each.

Advertising

Bottineau Courant: The other
day we made the statement to a
business man that advertising is
the life bleod of trade" and he re-
piled "that is chestnut" but
when pinned down he admitted
that what he meant was that it was
a fact that required no proof, an
axiom of business, something
proven beyond a doubt There is
no possibility of argument against
the value of advertising. Given
goods of merit, a dealer who is
ambitious, careful, truthful and
honest and add careful advertising
in medium that reaches his ter
ritory and the only result possible
is increased sales.
Dealers very often assume that
those who come regularly to their
places of business know a good
deal about the articles of stock
they carry and this is true except
that the dealer assumes too much.
There are many valuable and in
teresting things that can truthfully
be told that will help to create a
demand for the goods. For in
stance, there is now running in
this paper an advertisement of
formaldehyde, a drug in very COM
mon use in all agricultural COM
munities. This ad gives some in
formation regarding various uses
of formaldehyde and since it's
publication last week three per-
sons have told the editor that they
had learned from the ad a new use
of formaldehyde and the know
ledge had solved a difficulty. One
woman found it just what she
wanted to renovate a cupboard.
We mention this just as an IL
lustratiop. The same truth applies
to hundred other articles in com.
mon use.
Advertising is by no means a
donation to the printer. It is the
greatest force there is in
successful business. True, it is
the printers stock in trade, and he
cannot succeed unless he sells it,
but he gives value for every cent
he askes for it and then throws in
q lot for good measure.
Advertising not only benefits
the user, but boosts his town.
Every good thing that can truth
fully be said of a business enter
prise builds up the reputation Of
the town and helps every citizen.
Anyone who can read at all can
mention at moments notice q
dozen articles that are known In
every hamlet in the United States
just because they have been care
fully, persistantly and wisely adj
vertised. Advertising has built
big business. Let it build yours.
Let the. force that made the name
"Boyal Baking Powder" worth
moro than q : million dollars q
letter boost your business
