Spasmodic Advertising

The man who seeks business
today must of necessity be con-
sistent in his methods of secur-
ing it; his advertising must con-
form to his general store meth
cd and one Of the prime essen
tials is that he shall advertise
with regularity that his patrons
may understand his advertising
to be intended for their conven-
fence as we'll as his own profit.
One of the first principals Of
advertising is that it suggest &C.
ton and no merchant wants
spasmodic action on the part of
his patrons. He does not want
to maintain a large sales force
for the sake of one days bust
ness; nor does he wish to main
tain a force too small to proper
ly conduct his business. That
advertising plan which maintains
the equation between the two
problems is the only proper
method Of advertising a business.
Steady advertising is the only
insurance of steady business,
and by the same token spasmod-
ic advertising cannot be expect
ed to maintain a leval volume
of business. The advertisement
of today that takes up the thread
of yesterdays story and con-
tinues it on to other days, is the
advertising that most surely
spells profitable returns.-Fargo

REVETMENT WORK
WORTH WATCHING

Revetment work is something
new in this vicinity and those
who are doing the job have few
hours that their work is not be-
ing watched. The government
boat, U. S. Mandan is fitted out
with a big pump and! water is
through a large hose,
the force of the water carries
the bank into the river. In this
way the bank is being washed
away and the earth prepared for
the revetment work.
Some rocks and brush are al
ready on hand but much more
will be needed before the work
is completed.
About 1900 feet has been clear
ed of brush and the work will
progress rapidly as soon rs more
help is secured.
$4,000 will be spent on this
work and most of this money
will go ito the men who haul the
rocks and brush needed and hel
with the revetment work. Thresh-
ing will be over early this year
and many men with their teams
can get work here.

THREE MEN BANG
AT SAME BIRD

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 10
A chicken Of the prairie variety,
was scared to death bright. and
early yesterday as a result of
one Of the most interesting ex-
periments ever attempted in
this section of the state.
Joe Brown, N. D. Black and
Peter Morgan were out long be.
fore sunrise yesterday in search
Of the elusive chicks. They tran
ed over fields, through dales and
across hills till shortly before
the hour Of $3.50.
"There!" cred Joe Brown.
Instantly all were attention.
Three guns were raised to as
many shoulders. With one &C
cord three shells were fired
then three more followed, while
Joe Brown sent a third shell just
for luck.
The bird fell to the ground
Three hunters came rushing or
it, each anxious to claim the hon.
0rs.
They examined the bird. There
wasn't a mark on it.
Mr.. chicken had been scared to
death.

Men Suggested for Offices
Continued from page ~

we would like to send Simon
Jahr, of Wilton, to represent us
as either senator or representa-
tive. He would make an ideal
legislator.
l do not care to make up a
slate or propose a set of men for
office. The field is an open one
and anyone who cares to can
run, but [ feel that the taxpayer
should wake up and take an in
terest in politics and do a little
proposing themselves. If We do
a little adgitating and let them
know that we are alive we will
sure get some results out of it.
The Leader has always been good
about giving matters Of this
kind publicity and l think the
press of the county generally hel
the good work along. There are
lots of good men in the county
who will gladly take the offices
that we have to give and who
will take a pride in the position
and do what is right by the tax
payers. A quiet time Of the year
is now coming on and the people
should make it a point to discuss
and talk over proposed candi-
and single out the wolves
and see if they cannot get good
men in office.

the greater part OF a day to

good work was done out this
way this summer, why can't it
be extended a little more out
this way. If Washburn intends to
hold the trade from this locality
some better roads will have to be
made, for a ferry could be put

Negroes had furnished no
possible motive for the deed.
SO far as as anyone knows
they were quiet and orderly,
as country people of their
class usually are. They work
ed and played and loafed, Just
like other country Negroes.
Now, the Negro is about
the only dependable tiller of
the soil in these parts. Com
petition for existence is not
keen enough to force many
white people into the harder
work.
The Negro is also useful as
a distributor Of money. About
all he gets goes through his
fingers.
Commercially, then. he is a
very valuable asset. 1t is not
good business to kill them.
When the Negro enters in
to the contest with the white
man he is already at disad :
vantage. and therefore the
truly brave white man never
seeks a quarrel with Negroes
He knows that the Negro is
at a disadvantage, and he
does not desire to take ad-
vantage Of him.
Furthermore, the white man
of courage can most always
control the Negro without
being compelled to resort to
violence.-The Commercial

cernIng CoIored Inventors

Mr.. Henry E. Baker, an ex-
pert examiner in the Office Of
the United States Patent
Office, has been detailed by
the government to obtain IN
formation concerning patents
to colored inventors, in com
pliance with a request from
the Emancipation Proclama
ton Commission of the state
of Pennsylvania, authorized
by the Legislature ofthat state
to prepare an exhibi. show
ing the progress of the color
ed people of the United
States among the fifty years
following the Emancipation
Proclamation in 1868. The
exhibit is to be held in Phila-
delphia, Pa, in September OF
this year.
A general letter has been
sent out, signed by r. b.
Moore. commissioners OF pat
ents, asking the aid Of the
citizens, newspapers. and
everybody in possession OF
the facts. to send to the Pat
ent Office, in a franked envel-
ope, the names of any colored
Inventors they may know, to-
gether with the date of the
grant, title Of invention and
patent number. so that a list
absolutely correct can be pre-
pared for the Philadelphia
exhibit. The filed out blanks
will be turned over to MIR.
Baker for tabulation as rapid
" as they come into the Pat
ent Office. Mr.. Baker is in
receipt of a large number al
ready. but it is his belief that
many no,re patents have been
issued to colored inventors
than appear in the records he
has thus far obtained, and it
is his desire that any persons
who know of other grants
shall feel free to write him at
once, giving him the data re
quired. \
AS a refutation of those
who have contendcd that "the
Negro has never invented
anything except lies" it is
important that full and
complete exhibit of the
Negro's practical inventive
genius be made at the Phila-
