Advice to the Lovelorn
d Reatrice FaIrfaE.)


Try Another Plan.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am a young man 10 years old and
deeply in love with girl one year my
junior who works in the same place
as I do
take her home every evening and
also take her out two or three times
a week I have told hen of my love
and that I want to marry per within
three years. She is aware Of the splen-
did chance to make good in the place
of business.
have given her a diamond friend
ship ring which she accepted with the
proposition that she viii some day be
mine.
But when we are bidding each other
good night and in each others arms,
she frankly admits that she does not
love me as yet, but that she is trying
real hard to. she damits that she likes
me a good deal.
Can love be accomplished by trying
or should it come naturally ID. F.
Love is not a matter of human will,
and no amount of trying can force
ones affections to grow.
But I am of the opinion that she
loves you and doesn't know it. Did
you ever suggest TO her that you are
fond of some other girl? The fear Of
losing you may awaken her to the
realization of how dearsyou are to her.

Dear Miss Fairfax.
am 19 and am in love with a girl
of II. We used to communicate very
often. but for the last few weeks I
did not receive any letter from her, al
though I wrote her two in the mean
time. 1 know nothing can prevent her
writing. Do you think she cares for
me? J. b
1t is wonderful how many men ask
that question of me. do YOU think
she cares for me2" When it is a ques-
tion that should be so easy to ask the
girl
This girl may not write because she
loves and wants her silence to bring
her that tardy avoweL or she may
not write because she does not love
and thinks the correspondence useless.
The only way TO know is TO ask her

REPORTS ON CONVENTION
HELD IN DICKINSON

The Twin City Commercial Bulletin
gives a full report of the Retail Mer-
chants Convention at Dickinson, illus
trated by several of their own pictures
and four views of Dickinson. the prop
erty of the Dickinson PRESS.
The report dives the sayings and
the doines Of the convention in detail
and is practical and helpful.
H. F. Schroeder. treasurer of the asso-
citation, is given prominence in the
report of several discussions and has a
fine picture with the newly elected
officers.
The article says of Dickinson:
Dickinson and its people are surely
real hosts. Entertainment of great
variety was provided from 9 o'clock
Tuesday morning until the last of the
delegates departed Thursday evening""
John N. Jackson of Lanpher Skinner
& Co., St. Paul, said:
This is a good long way to come to
say how.d0-you-do to almost anybody,
but I am particularly pleased to travel
all this distance to meet with you
merchants of North Dakota. The first
time l visited Dickinson was about 20
years ago. when this section was known
only as a frontier country. inhabited
entirely by cattle men, for in those
days practically the only industry of
this territory was that of raising cattle
and great herds roamed over these vast
prairies. Money a free out here then
and nearly everybody was known as a
good fellow. Orders that manufacturers
and wholesalers of the Twin Cities
were getting were big ones such as
are only received from frontier districts.
1t was from this volume of business
secured from the frontier that the then
infant jobbing industries of the Twin
Cities made their most. money. At
that time competition among towns
and between yourselves was not as keen
as it is today and the ranchman was
compelled to drive from a few miles to
fifty, seventy-ive, a hundred miles OF
more to get supplies. When they
bought they naturally bought in large
quantities.
But things have changed-the big
cattle herds have gone; the country has
been cut up into small tracts and is
now rapidly settling with farmers, all
of which has brought about a great
increase in your population. These
small farms after all ere by far the
best for the retailer, for it is in thit
way that any country becomes settled
and more thickly populated. This
means development it mean many
small but healthy towns and much
better opportunities. As a manu-.
xfacturer and wholesaler I am glad I live
and do business in the West, because
believe my future and all arouni
chances for success much. areater her.
