Be HONEST IN
ALL ADVERTISING
MASSACHUSETTS THE FIRST
STATE IN THE UNION TO EN-
ACT A LAW THAT REQUIRES
MERCHANTS TO SPEAK TRUTH
ABOUT GOODS THEY SELL.

Many papers in different parts Of
union have decided to start a. cam
paign for honest advertising and the
state of Massachusetts is the first
state in the union to enact a law that
will compel merchants to speak the
truth in their announcements to the
customers. The law in that state pro
vides against misleading statements
in any ad regarding the quality, the
quantity, method of cost of produc-
ton, cost to the advertiser, former
prices, reasons for present prices, or
manner of purchase. The penalty for
the violation of the law in any of these
particulars is a fine of from $40 TO
$500.
Many of the papers of that state
have commented favorably upon the
operation of the law and a number of
cities have taken local measures to
assist in the enforcement of 1t. II ad-
vertisers were to obey strictly the
letter and spirit of this law and had
the confidence of the great buying
could cut down their advertising ex-
pense at least a half. and accomplish
the same advertising result.
Those who believe in. advertising
as a force that should not be abused
are now agitating for a. similar law
national in its scope. The RESPONSE
bility in every law should rest upon
the advertiser and not Upon the pub
Usher or medium. The plan to ex-
clude from the mails u newspaper pr
magazine accepting a misleading ad-
vertisement would mean the punish
ing the innocent for the sins Of the
guilty; for all the advertisements in
cry given publication would not lie
misleading

A LANDMARKS TROUBLE
Jack Lang, Now Selling Autos, Can
Throw OFF His Early Days Of
Selling Farms.

Jack Lang, who used to be one of
the best known landmen in this sec
ton, but who is now in the automobile
business cannot throw off the yoke
that bound him to the land business
and every once in a while he slips a
cog. He and another automobile man
were discussing business a night or
two ago, when Jack remarked:
"Why, just think of it, my dear sir.
last month our sales averaged a a
every two minutes Of each working
day. There never was anything like
it."
The other fellow was somewhat
abashed. but he arose equal to the oc-
casion and said:
Il would like to offer my comment
on the statement by Mr.. Lang that
there's M Of his cars sold every two
minutes in each working day, Am I
right, Mr.. Lang, in ST stating the mat
ter?", .. .--nH s..-
And Mr.. Lang arose and said: You
certainly are"
We'll, l don't think that shows any
thing like great craftsmanship" the
other fellow said and Jack asked why.
"Oh, 1t merely shows you must have
been doing business where there We're
no other statesmen and no other cars"
and now the two don't speak. but each
has beer sending out scouts TO see
what the other has been doing and
Jack leads the list.

LEFTFIELDER c.
A.. WETTERSTROh
ANOTHER OF JOHN McGRANN's
FINEST FOR THE FARGO coUN-
CIL's CELEBRATED NINE THAT
Is EXPECTED TO STRIKE TER
RoR TO ALL OPPONENTS.

Manager McGrann of the baseball
the Fargo council of the United Com
mercial Travellers, was talking a
night or two ago about his team that
will represent Fargo at h grand
baseball tournament that will take
place at Crookston, Mimi, next June
at the grand council meeting and he
was patting himself on the back with
great Vigor as he addressed several Of
the admiring citizens.
"Lemme tell you something" said
he as he extended his arm and his
long fore finger. Il have n fielder
who won't take a back seat from any
of them. You see the cry has gone
forth to swat the flies and / want
to tell you that c. A. Wetterstrom
is just the Teller on my team who can
turn that trick and there won't be
a fly sail over his particular garden
in the left field that won't come down
at his bidding. While C. A. is rather
under size so far as extension Is con-
cerned, let me tell you that so far as
expansion is concerned there are none
of the boys ahead of him any, for
he is just about as broad as he is
long. When a fly is seen in his neigh
borhood he shows the agility of a
great big grasshopper and he goes in
to the air like a ~skyrocket with the
result that the budding hopes of the
hatsmen go aglimmering. He sells
groceries on the road and he is just
as lively at that rs he is at playing
ball. He has started in to practice
and the way he goes at it makes his
boarding house mistress, be it wife or
mother or just a plain boarding house
keeper, think he does too much eXer-
cising, for ne eats like a horse.
Now, 1 don't want to crow, con-
tinued Mr.. McGrann, and I don't
intend to say a word derogatory about
any of the other teams, but just at
this time l am so confident that Fargo
will be so far ahead that I will have
to call my boys off just to keep the
other fellers in the game. We will
beat the whole bunch. l have the
best team that ever went out of Far
go to g. grand council gathering and
/ want to tell you in strict confidence
l will also have a big bunch of root
ers along who will make the Welkin
ring, whatever that is. I don't be-
lieve in Boosting or Dragging, but the
above are my sentiments. George
Glade continues to train and he is
getting longer and lankier every day.

WITH THE
The AUTOMOBILE
CROOKSTON TRIP
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE INVITA-
TON COMMITTEE Is VERY
MUCH PLEASED WITH THE RE-
sPoNsES THAT ARE BEING
MADE FOR THE COUNCIL TOUR.

Milton Bishop is very much pleased
over the outlook for the automobile
trip to Crookston to the grand coun-
Gil meeting next June. A large num-
Der of invitations have been sent out
and the chairman of the invitation
committee is delighted with the re-
sponses that have been made, for all
appear to be heartily in favor of such
In ~outpouring from this city as will
make the people up in the north sit
up and take notice when Fargo coun-
ell and friends enter the city.
The committee has received word
from many Of the cities and towns in
this vicinity signifying an intention to
make the trip and it would not be at
all surprising If there would be fully
200 machines in line. 1t is q delight
full trip, the roads are in great condi-
ton and if the weather is what it
should be 1t will be one of the best
kind Of outings that the council and
friends could possibly take. Crooks
toms automobile club has taken notice
of the visitation, so has the Fargo
Commercial club and automobile club
and they are enthusiastic over the
prospects. The auto committee hasn't
got rightly started, but it will be in a
very few days. The Fargo Commercial
clubs executive committee at a meet
ing on Monday last decided to author
lie the secretary of the club to order a
large number of banners which will
bear the words Fargo Commercial
club. The Fargo council of the u. C.
T. will have banners which will show
that the train is composed Of members
and friends Of the council and the
train will be well decorated on the
road going and coming. In addition
to being the means of giving the
members of 65 the very best kind of a
time, it will also enable them to as
sist in advertising Fargo clear from
here to Crookston. 1t is hoped that
| every member of the local council will
boost for the trip right along, for it
is a United Commercial Travellers
project.

Knights of the Grip

There will be no meeting of the Far
go council of the u. C. r. before the
first Saturday. night of the coming
month when it is expected that the
business connected with the automo-
bile trip to Crookston, Mimi, will be
taken up M generally discussed.
Everything connected with the trip is
moving along nicely and everybody is
pleased with the outlook.
William A. Hagen, of the LorilIaro
Tobacco Co., who Sundays at the
Gardner, has been out in the state the
present week, but arrived home this
afternoon to spend Sunday with his
friends. He says that business is ex-
ceedingly good.
Thomas e. Dunn, secretary Of s.
council, feels pleased to announce that
the most of the brethren have paid ur
their dues and assessment and every.
thing is in good shape. 1t all depends
on whether your dues are paid as to
whether you get benefits in case of ac-
cident.
That a tremendous enthusiasm is
being manifested by Minot business
men in the new u. G.. r. home there
was shown by the rapid sale Of tick
cts IOF Tie STdHu Ddll given at the at
mory last night. The proceeds from
the ball will be used for the prelim-
mary arrangements for the new home
and realizing that the project should
have a good start the merchants are
supporting the enterprise most Iiber-
ally. The proposition of building a
home for the exclusive use OF the
members of the United Commercial
Travellers has taken like wildfire.
1t is stated that several of the com
mercial travellers from as far away as
Dickinson will join the Fargo auto
procession to Crookston, and that some
of them are even thinking of making
the entire trip by machine.
Already several of the travellers who
reside in Fargo are looking with long
ing eyes Detroitwards for the time
when their cottages will be ready to
open. Quite a number of the knights
of the grip who are stopping at the
Waldorf own their own summer cot
tages and they make good uses 81

Ernest r. Orchard of the cashiers

or Co., used to be a fine singer, but
| since being i'm the Union office and in
haling the gas, ETC., he has just about
given up trying to sing only on rare
occasions and then only for his W
amusement.
A night or two ago he was seated
in the Orpheum thcatre and was lis
tening intently to the sweet song Miss
Dare was singing. Behind him sat
two young women, one of whom was
singing in unison with Miss Dare, al
though it was u"nbeknown to her,
1t was annoying and Mr.. Orchard
| who is the beau ideal Of poiiteness
turned about in his seat and said in
his usual urbane manner
MY lear madam, IL you insist upon
| singing, l win endeaVOr TO secure a
place on the stage as soon as he pro-
fessional singer has ceased l can
only listen to one of you and prefer to
hear Miss Dare"
The young woman turned up her
nose until 1t was sticking out straight
and then she said:
Mister, you're no gentleman"
And Ernest without cracking a smile
said:
