ont travel like a trunk.

DON'T travel like trunk.
Some men do. Just check them
selves through from one town to an
other by means of a railroad ticket
and see nothing They keep their eyes
closed and their ears closed. Such in
formation as they have Is forced upon
them.
The power of observation is some
thing to be trained and developed. You
may learn more from contact with
people than it is possible for you to
learn from all the books in the Car
negie library.
Travel pays. 1t broadens the mind,
quickens the intellect and increases
the store of information.
You should travel for the good of
Richmond, and the city will be the
gamer; that is, if you don't travel like
a trunk
Certainly, I know you can't spare
the time from your business to go
rushing off to Chicago New York or
SanF'rancisco two or three times a
year. But you can travel, and to great
advantage, without going far fr~
home.
How much time have you given to
the thought of Trade Excursions? Not
much. Well, let me tell you that you
are missing great opportunity.
Personal contact with the prospec-
tive customer is the secret of sales
manship. You can not hope to do
much business if you wait for Gus
toners to come in and demand the
right to purchase goods.
! You know that villages and towns
and small cities are scattered all
around here-all practically tributary
to Richmond.
How much do you know about the
people who live in those places? What
do you know about their ways and
habits of life?
You should get acquainted with
them Find out what they want and
get it for them.
A little more than a decade ago we
drove the Spaniards out of Cuba, and
opened up what should have been
great trade territory for our manu-
facturers and wholesalers.
Did we take advantage of the op-
portunity we had created for our
selves?
We did NOT.
We acted just as all of the mer-
chants and business men of Richmond
are acting toward those who should
buy here.
We did not study the Cuban mark
ct. We sent no trade excursions to
Cuba We made no attempt to find out
what the Cubans had been accus-
toned to and what they wanted.
We said to Cuba: Here are our
goods. They are good goods. They

Germany is a more careful mer-
chant. Germany sent trade excursions
to Cuba, and left experts there to
study the territory and the people. Ger
the Cubans wanted.
The result is that Germany took the
Cuban trade away from us. By the
same token Germany is preparing to
take the trade of South America to
itself just as soon as the Panama
Canal-built with our money and
brains-is opened.
We are making a national blunder.
but that is no reason why you should
repeat the blunder right here at home
This city wants the trade that by
right belongs to it. The men who are
trying to build up the commercial or
ganiZation want you to come in and
help them plan trade excursions They
want all of you business men to get
out where you will have to touch ell
bows and where you will find that your
interests are Identical.
Don't be afraid of competition
There will be more business than you
and your competitors can do if you
go after it.
Trade excursions have already
proven their worth as business getters.
Not long ago Detroit merchants char
tered a steamship and went visiting,
profiting largely as a result.
Chicago made a trade visit in Min
neapolis to the benefit of both cities

NeSter farm Markets
Hogs at Top Price
!. A. BOOTH RETURNS WITH
GOOD FAT STOCK STORY
CATTLE BRINGS $3.50

A. a. Eooca r-zanager of the Mes
ter Farm returned from Chicago this
morning where he has been with a
couple of cars of fat stock He is
feeling fine over his hogs which came
within Is cents of topping the Chicago
market for that day bringing 1925
and the best sold on that day sold for
$9.40. These hogs were fattened on
feed raised on the farm and had no
extra care. Their rations were ground
feed. The cattle were also fattened
on the Nester farm and on feed rails
ed here. More attention is being Civ
en- now to stock on this magnificent
estate and Mr.. Booth is authority for
the statement that this will be come
a stock farm in the near future. He
thinks that there is no reason why
we cannot compete with any state in
the union in raising hogs and cattle
it farmers will only give the same at
tention to that branch of farming that
they do in the socalled stock states
There was also sold this spring from
the farm about a dozen head of
horses at an average Of about 5000.
This was stock raised on the farm
and represents surplus stock.

AUTO TAX FUND Insufficient
FOR THE AUTO TAG EXPENSES
Secretary Tom Hall Gives Statement Of
ReCeiptS and Observation-Disclosures
Must Walt for Their Allotment.

Some of the counties are Wondering,
why they have not as yet received
any money from the automobile tax
fund. The fact is that there is no
money for distribution as yet and
probably will not be for time more
The cost Of the tags have to be paid
out of the fund created by the sale of
the tags and as there were 10000 of
them ordered by former Secretary of
State P. D. Norton to be delivered
before the first of February and be
paid for at that time there was not
enough money on hand and has not
been enough taken in to pay for them.
Secretary of State Thomas Hall
said when asked about the condition
OF the fund owing the arrangement
for the payment for the tags, it has
been impossible for me to make any
distribution Of the funds to the vari-
ous counties, as the registration to
date has been very light and we
have not been able as yet, to clean
up this account, but as soon as this
is done, I hope to begin without de-
lay, the remittances Of the amounts
due to the various counties of the

MISSOURI RIVER RISING FAST

Mandan Cut Off From East by high Water---
Tracks Are Flooded and Some Schedules
Are Cancelled Temporarily.

bismarck, April S.-All Northern
Pacific passenger trains are being
stopped and turned at Bismarck, as the
west approach to the big Northern
Pacific bridge over the Missouri river
is under water for distance of a
mile and half. No trains have been
run into Mandan from the east since
late yesterday and it will probably be
Wednesday before traffic is resumed.
On the north branch there are three
small bridges out and all trains have
been annulled and on the Bismarck
Mott extension trains will run only
from Mott to the first station south of
Mandan until the water goes down.
The railroad company moved about
900 laborers and several engines to
Bismarck when there were signs of
high water to have them ready to get
the track in shape when the water
does down.
The government station shows in
Bismarck water eighteen feet above
high but there is no danger here, as
the city is above the river.
Residents of the low-lying sections
Of Mandan, who moved out a week
ago, have not yet been allowed to re.

Good Roads Plan Of
fered by Local Man
WOULD RAISE SUM SUFFICIENT
TO PUT ROADS ADJACENT~1o
CITY IN GOOD CONDITION..

Believing that one of the vital needs
of Valley City is good roads within a
short distance of town, c. J. Lee has
suggested a plan whereby he believes
the roads may be wonderfully i'm,
proved over the deplorable condition
which now exists, and thereby much
increase the trade from other towns
in the county.
Mr.. Lees plan is to raise fund
of money by public subscription
which is to be placed IN the hands
|of good road engineer, and proper
ly expended for road Improvement,
within three miles of Valley City.
In every direction out of town the
roads are poor, until several miles
out, when well graded and cared for
roads are reached. This condition
has driven to the smaller towns OF
the county, many buyers who would
otherwise come to this city to trade,
and the welfare of the city has suf-
fered greatly thereby.
To start the ball rolling, Mr.. Lee
proposes that twenty business men OF
the city guarantee $4,000 to start the
work. He says he will be one of the
men to subscribe 500 for this pur-
pose, his only restriction being that
the money shall be Immediately plac-
ed in the hands of an expert in good
road work, and properly expended.
Other business men of the city who
have been seen today regarding the
proposition express their hearty co.
operation in such a plan, and have
pledged their support to its promo.

will be called in few days to Lrgan:
