CREAMERY At HETTlNGER
HAS TO CLOSE DOWN

Adams County Record: 1t appears
that the city creamery interests are
making a desperate effort to put the
creameries at Bowman, Lennon and
Hettinger out of business and that steps
must be taken at once to keep the cream
at home if these local creameries are to
be continued. The manager of the Het-
tineer creamery has given us the follow
ing article in regard to the matter:
lowing to lack of patronage the
creameries at Lennon. Hettineer and
Bowman have about decided 10 close
down. This condition is due to the ex-
cessive prices paid in this territory by
the allied creamery interests IN the
Twin Cities. commonly known as Cen
tralizers. Covering vast amount of
territory as they do. they are able by
paying the lowest price the farmer will
accept for butter fat where they have no
competition to pay exorbitant prices in
localities where there is competition.
What will happen after forcing the
smaller creameries out of business is
very evident. There are many among
our farmers who have experienced this
before and who do not need to see these
results proved to know that we are stat
ing plain facts.
The successful handling of creamery
in this country is far different propo-
sition than it is in the older dairy
states. The same methods do not apply
different market must be developed
and these things are not all done at

PAUL LEB0 MARRIED
REELECTED TO OFFICE

Paul Lebo, the popular clerk of court
of Billings county, was married here
last Saturday to Miss Catherine Paaen.

wedding ceremony and they returned
to Medora on the midnight train.
Mrs. Lebo was formerly of Wadena,
Mimi, but came to Medora about
eight months ago where she has been
with her sister. Mrs. Fred Naureth.
She has won many friends during her
stay there and Mr.. Le5o is being show
cred with congratulations on winning
her for his bride.
Mr.. Lebo is we'll and favorabIy known
in his own county as we'll as IN Stark.
He was born on the famous Custer Trail
ranch, about four miles from Medora
and has held office in Billings county
as clerk of court for the past four years
and is again elected without opposition
to another term. He has made good as
servant of the people and everybody
has good word for Paul. He is also a
musician and the Medora orchestra of
which he is the leader would be hard to
beat in this part of the state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lebo are domiciled in
the nice new home which Mr.. Lebo has
recently erected and furnished for his
bride and they are busy receiving the
best wishes of everybody in Medora.

PERIShED IN
SNOW STORM
School Teacher North of Bel6eld
Frozen to Death in Storm
of October 18th. Rela-
tives in Michigan.

Miss Hattie Bedford. a school teacher
in the districtaboM seven miles north
of Belfield, was lost in the snow storm
of October 2Sth. and several days later
her lifeless body was found in frozen
heap. This is..one of the saddest events
that has ever occurred in this part of
the state, happening as it did so early
in the season and in such strange
manner.
Miss Bedford had left the school house
where she was teaching, at the regular
time and started to walk to her boarding
house at Mr.. Norton 8. about two and
a half miles away. 1t will be remem-
bered that snow. had fallen all that day,
accompanied by quite high wind and
apparently the young lady miscalculated
directions and wandered around in the
binding snow until she became ex-
hausted and probably sat down to rest
when she was overcome with the cold
and perished.
She had been talking of changing her
boarding place. and the Norton family.
with whom she had been staying. were
not alarmed when she did not return.
They thought she had gone to another
place. When she failed to be at her
duties at the school house. the other
people of the neighborhood supposed she
was ill and it was whole week before
her absence was discovered and search
was made. The body was found about
half a mile south of the Dick Roean
home and taken to Belfeld in charge of
Undertaken Bishop.
Miss Bedford's folks in Michigan
have been notified of her death and the
body was being held for an answer. The
PRESS does not know how long she has
been teaching there or how long she has
been in the state. So far as we know
this is the first death of this kind in
this part of the state and it casts a
feeling of horror over everyone and is
terrible warning for country teachers
or others not to leave place of refuge
for the open prairie in one of these
storms. 1t was probably the fret time
in the history of the state that so much
snow fell so early in the season.
Much sympathy is extended to the
relatives of the young lady who met
death in such q tragic manner.

PROFESSIONAL men
SHOULD ADVERTISE
BY VIM. c. FREEMAN.

/ have always been an arden adyc-
cate OF advertising for professional
men-lawyers, physicians and den
tists-and have never been able to un-
derstand the Ethics" which permit
the seeking of free publicity in the
news columns, but condemn the open
and abovs-board business-seekinR ad-
Vertisement.
l firmly believe that well-written,
forceful advertisements In daily news
papers will build a profitable practice
for the reputable physician, dentist
or lawyer-just as 1t builds a profit
able business for the merchant and
manufacturer.
That is why l was glad to see in
the New York Herald recently an in
terview with DR.. r. Lincoln Graham,
in which the doctor puts himself on
record in favor Of advertising.
DR.. Graham observes all the forms
prescribed by the ruling bodies of the
medical profession in New York, but
he is free in his criticism of the atti-
tude he, with others, is compelled to
assume thereby.
He says very plainly that many
New York physicians OF unquestioned
professional standing practice self-ex-
plotting methods not so commendable
as advertising.
He further states that II the profes-
sional ban against advertising were
raised, 1t would add millions annually
to the incomes OF physicians gener-
ally. 1t would also tighten the bur
den upon free clinics and dispensaries,
and enable specialists to reduce their
present necessarily prohibttfve fees to
proportions the general public could
pay.
There is no doubt that the greater
proportion OF the reputable medical
men Of the country will welcome the
time when they will be free to adver-
tise without impairing their profes-
sional standing.
And that time is gradually drawing
nearer, for professional men all over
the country are beginning to realize
the value of advertising, and 1t won't
be long before their united demands
will compel the medical associations
to recognize this fact and to raise the
ban against advertising.

Sampllnu and Real Advertising

The manufacturers Of food prod
uct whose advertising methods ar de-
scribed in a recent issue of Printers
Ink are said to be great believers in
sampling. The reason for their faith
are rather peculiar. They set aside
certain arbitrary sum for distrib-
uting samples in a given locality. If
the resultant increase in sales In that
locality is equal to the expenditure for
sampling, the sampling is regarded as
successful advertising!
There are dozen methods by which
almost any concern can advertise its
wares and recoup the advertising ex-
penditure. But the object of most
business men-either manufacturers
OF retailers-is to make their advertis-
ing pay for itself and produce the larg-
est possible surplus for the advertiser.
Really successful advertising Is the
kind that brings the greatest results
to wit, and particularly for the ex-
ploitation Of food product for which
there should be demand In every
home, daily newspaper advertising.
We do not condemn sampling. But
the result of sampling, compared with
the results of an intelligently-plann
newspaper campaign, are a joke
