North Dakota Merchants
Should Advertise.

Every dollar that can be kept
at home should find it's place
here in North Dakota. North
Dakota dollars should be spent
in North Dakota and we should
all help in keeping our money
within the state.
No particular class of indivi
duals is to blame for spending
money outside the state. All
must do their part. Merchants
cannot expect to have patronage
unless they deserve it and make
known the fact that they do.
Every North Dakota merchant
should see that he is buying his
goods right, that he is buying
goods of value and that he is
selling them at fair prices. When
he is serving his community
we'll, then he must tell his pros
pective customers what he has.
He must ask for their business.
In modern business, advertis-
ing is absolutely necessary. The
day when a merchant can do
business by keeping a stock and
waiting for trade is past. North
Dakota merchants are competing
with the best business organiza.
tons of the age, and they must
adopt up-to-date methods and
meet this competition if they
will succeed. Good service, good
goods, right prices are first
necessary, then letting the PEG
pie know about them is next.
The home merchant can have the
advantage always. He is dealing
with personal acquaintances,
With his friends. He has loca
patriotism behind him. he is close
and can show his goods. II

The Prayer Meeting.

To one who has been accus.
toned to attend church prayer
meetings, it seems strange that
here in Hope, where there are
two or three churches, no mid
week prayer service is held.
People come closer together in
prayer than in any other rela
tionship in the world. Christ
makes special mention of the
prayers of two or three gathered
together in His name, or of two
who agree as touching anything
that they shall ask. There is no
such fellowship, mutual under
standing and sympathy between
church members who never kneel
together in prayer as between
those who do. The church or
family without prayer service
lacks the fullness of the greatest
uniting power given by God or
known to man.
Is it right to withhold from the
church of today that which has
had much to do in keeping aglow
the religious fires of the past?
Has the lodge or club given us
anything in the place of the
church prayer meeting which
compares favorably with it?

JILTED GIRL GETS EVEN ON
 GOOD FRIDAY
Plight of Mother and Baby in Ludlow Street Jail Moves Symathy of Jailors
Special from United Press. }

New York, April 5-A little, meanly clad Italian woman, hugging close her 13 months old baby, today sobbed prayers to the Blessed Virgin to re- Easter Sunday in Ludlow street debt ors' jail. The little woman was Mrs. Innocenza Perrota Parlegrecco, and she was the first woman prisoner Lud- low street jail has seen for years. The revenge of a tilted girl, Fannie Ludlow street with her baby in her arms. The Sammarco girl was en- gagged to be married and she declared Mrs. Parlegrecco robbed her of her in tended husband by circulating stories about her. She sued for islander and obtained $1,o0o Judgment by default.
 .n1 sa. s'is M so1psa nsyst the saa ;ny nny oned woman today. Blessed Maria! She has sent me here on the Good Friday. Will they keep me here on Easter?''
 Even the keepers of Ludlow street jail were touched by the mothers inn prisonment and they called the sam marco girl to the jail to attempt to persuade her to waive the judgment, but with flashing black eyes the girl, attired in costly Easter finery, insist ed on her revenge
 Mot for a million dollars do I let her go," she exclaimed. 'I don't care about Good Friday. don't care about Easter. don't care how much she cries. She robbed me of the man who was going to marry me-"
 The jailer allowed the little prisoner to take her baby to jail with her, but in the tenement home of the Parle- ereccos there were left three more children, the oldest 16. The woman's husband walked the streets today in a vain effort to secure someone to supply the bond that would restore the wife and mother to the family for Easter
 Meantime the little woman rocked her baby in her arms in Ludlow street jail and crooned her Good Friday prayers.
