NO MORE DULL MONTHS
FOR WIDE AWAKE STORES.
Plenty of Business at All Times For
Those Who Go After 1t.

Under the caption Dull Months Out
of Style" the Kansas City Times says:
"a dull month? Not on your cash
register! Dull months are for dull
people. not for live ones.
eff you were a carpenter and your
saw was dull would you say, 4 can't
work this month-my saw is dull?
mot for one blessed minute!
you'd get up in the morning and
file that saw before breakfast. You'd
put an edge on that saw that would
make it eat it's way through an oak
board like IL ~ten-year-old boy through
a piece of pumpkin pie.
"The live merchant or manufacturer
does exactly the same thing. The min
ute he sees the first faint sign Of ap-
preaching dizziness he sharpens up his
business tools and goes after more
business.
"And he gets it too.
"He uses more advertising and bet
ter advertising. He uses better illus
trations and stronger copy. He plans
new campaigns while his competitors
sleep. He pulls every string. He does
not leave a single stone u%nturned.
''The man who expects trade to be
dull and is willing it should be dull
will have it dull.
''The mar who leans back in his
chair and says. I'll take it easy now,
for this month will be dull anyway
will get just what he's looking for.
"It's all in your mind.
''This prattle about dull seasons is
a mongrel theory, sired by mental
weakness, mothered by Indifference
and nursed by the universal tendency
Of human nature to fight shy Of work.
Suppose there are n or two or
five thousand people gone out of town
on their summer vacations. There are
more visitors than that that come into
town every day.
"There is plenty of business to be
got if you only make up your mind
to go after it. We can have what we
want in this world provided we're not
afraid to work and sweat and adver,
tise.
you can have dull months If you
want them, but you'll be out Of date
IL you do. They're not in style any
more"

In the weekly publication Of the
Pioneer Express certain things seen to
group themselves during the successive
weeks. Sometimes we might call it q
''society edition" sometimes it is political
sometimes accidents gil the pages and
so on. This week it might be called a
''travellers" issue with it's two long letters
from the boundary line on the south
from Max Short, and from the boundary
line on north by one Of the editors.
Naturally some Of these different topics
are Of more interest to one class Of
readers rather than to other classes, but
the newspaper cannot expect to please

In the election of John A. Peters on
Tuesday in Maine as successor to a
former congressional representative who
died, the progressive party, received a
great setback when compared With the
presidential vote. While the democratic
vote varied but little from the vote for
Wilson. about 5000 republicans who
voted for Roosevelt, voted for Mr.. Peters
the regular republican candidate, not
withstanding a progressive candidate
was in the field. There were about
5000 votes cast of which the democratic
and republican candidates received near

OF about 500) while the progressive candi,

Andrew Carnegie is chairman of the
association in this country with Alton
Parker and w. j. Bryan and many
other prominent men as members. That
the monument will be prepossessing
one and that it will be great influence
toward peace in the future, there can be
no doubt, and our citizens feel that it
will be an epoch in the history of the
Red River Valley.
The definite spot where the monument
will be located is yet only conjecture
but the prevailing opinion is that it
should be placed on the west side of the
Red river where the international bound
ary line intersects with the river. This
will place it within two hundred feet of
the main line of the Northern Pacific
and on the direct line of the Meridian
road, the automobile highway between
Galveston, Texas, Winnipeg and the
Canadian Northwest, highway which
will in course of time be second to none
on the American continent.
1t was at this very point where Louis
Reil established his headquarters the
time Of the Red River Rebellion in 1871,
and it was here that Col. Wheaton, then
in charge of Fort Pembina, marched
on the Canadian rebels and followed them
some fifteen miles down the Red river
on Canadian soil, after they had tied up
two American steamers on their way to
Winnipeg with merchandise, where he
met General Wellesley coming with the
Canadian volunteers to take charge Of
of the situation.

On account of the historic past, and
that several transcontinental lines cross

by the joint commission. 1t was here
that the Selkirk settlement first made
their home and it was here that the
Hudson Bay Company first commenced
trading with the Indians nearly three
centuries ago.
Mr.. Scammell also stated that the
English, Canadian and United States
governments were erecting the monu-
ments, and that at the ceremony of the
unveiling there would be leading men
and speakers of the three countries.

The membership committee Of the

Just twenty-eight members. which must
be added to that body before November
10. to round out the quota of 80 set
for the fiscal year. without which there
will be no dinner to the membership
committee by President Droop.
The number was reduced yesterday t.
twenty eight by the approval Of six
candidates by the membership COM
n:ittee. While these do not count Of
ficially until they have been elected
members b. the board of governors, SO
careful has been the membership COM

tee will be held next Wednesday. by
which time it is thought that but a
handful of new members will be needed.
