IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE

Some time this month, up in Dunn
county, thirty miles from a railroad
track, a hustling ranchman and far.
mer will hitch up his team of horses
ito a brand new mower Of the ,mostap-
proved make and proceed to gather
F.. his seasons crop of native and tame
hay. This hay.making will be but
one of the many details Of the ranch
man and farmers occupations, for he
has other plentiful crops to harvest,
live stock to look after and all the
many details of a progressive up-to-
date husbandman to attend to.
The point in this apparently very
ordinary proceeding that makes it
different from the thousands Of sim
liar operations being carried on all
over the state at this season OF the
year, is that the brand new mowers Of
most approved make cost this man
nothing but the freight from Bis
marck to his farm and the trouble
necessary to gather up a few samples
Of grain and other aricultural pro-
duce and send them down to Bis.
marck where they were exhibited and
won, among other premiums, the
mower referred to, which vas award
led as one Of the prizes at the Second
North Dakota Industrial Exposition
held in the Capital City during Octo.
Der of 1912. He was a man of pro-
gressive ideas, keenly alive to the
possibilities of the rich soil of his
county and possessed of that admira'
BILE initiative which prompted him to
ilet all the world know how much OF
substantial wealth and variety of ag-
ricultural produce could be secured
from Dame Nature with REASONABLE,
intelligent effort. sagEasf
! He told his story, not in words so
much, as the actual product S them
selves, concrete examples, labelled
with day and date, which the most
skeptical could mot gainsay nor the
' pessimist refute. He has placed the
name of Dunn county on the map and
demonstrated beyond cavil the vast
/ store of agricultural and other wealth
that lies beneath her broad praries.
The story has gone forth. Thou.
sands of visitors to the Exposition
referred to now know definitely that
an area, once thought to be only fit
ed for the grazing of a few scattered
herds of live stock, is actually as fine
a farming section of the Northwest
as can be found anywhere. The eyes
of the farmer, investor, banker and
merchant are directed Dunn-ward
with a knowledge of the county's po-
tentlalities burned indelibly into their
memories.
What Dunn county has done other
counties have done. What Dunn
county has done other counties can
do; and by the same means, for the
holding of the Third State Industrial
Exposition next October Is now an as
sured fact and the opportunity for a
similar exploitation of your county's
townships or city's resources, under
| even more favorable circumstances
than in the past, is offered to every
one who has the courage OF his %
victions and the initiative to get busy.
