a trading point for these people. So
much for the direct advantage to the

But there is another big feature in
it. On account of the evident good
management of this enterprise you
have made it a marked success. Stor'
les of success are more than welcome
everywhere, trade papers are anx-
ious to tell their patrons of the sue
cess of others and the means of at
tanning it-they are extremely anx.
ious that their own friends in other
places should succeed and will do
their best to show them how to do it.
So, for instance, a splendid article re-
garding your town appears in the
Merchants Trade Journal, and won
der whether you have stopped to
think that since November probably
more than fifty thousand merchants
throughout the country have read Of
Valley City.
They know that you are on the
map and that you are awake too. Be-
side this Judging from my own ad-
vertising in this paper) three times
that number Of clerks have also read
about it and have made mental note
of your town. 1t is impossible to es>
innate with any accuracy the good
| this article has done.
But why stop there? Why not Of
! fer similar article to some of the
other trade papers? Not like this one
of course but something along the
same line. There are still '"The Dry
Goods Reporter" "The Iron Age" and
lots of others which have a circula
ton among merchants. These are the
men you want to reach. They have
seen who are going into business
somewhere, or they are looking fol
another location themselves and yor
can never tell what they may de
when they start to think of it,
Of course there is nothing as gooi
as the Journal to reach the class O.
men you want. They have a circula
tion far ahead of any other trade pa
per and the known "squareness" O
Mr.. Pilkington, the editor, is the yer!
backbone of any advertisement tina
appears in that paper.
Then you can't tell how long thu

For instance, altho l havn't advertis

quiries about them. Only this morn
ing l received letter from Ceda

ence of your write-up in the Journa
will last long time.
If I were asked for my advice il
the matter should say to do it owe

An Open Letter.
After receiving the illustrated arti-
Gle on the Valley City ChautauQua, in
the Nov. issue of the Merchants Trade
Journal, wrote personal letter to
several people and firms carrying ad-
vertising in that publication request
ing as a personal favor that they
write me their views as to the value
of such publicity to Valley City.
All the answers received and most
of them have replied-have been ex-
tremely gratifying. The following

timent of all the replies.
Believing that this statement of
opinion would prove of exceptional

Dear Sir-Your letter of Nov. 18th
relative to the article in the Novem-
Der number of the Merchants
Trade Journal was received
some time ago. When your
letter came had not received
my November number and I waited
for it before replying. Someway
they missed me that month and at
last l wrote for copy which only
came a few days ago, and this &C.
counts for the long delay in my re:

l do not know that I am a good
judge Of advertising, Mr.. Karr, but l
have paid considerable attention to it
for several years, especially as it re-
lated to merchants, and after going
over this matter carefully l am glad
to tell you think it is a splendid way
to advertise your community. No
doubt you realize that a good we'll

West, the Germans in Poland, and the
Russians in East Prussia, continue
their offensive operations, but ad
vances have been so slight as to be
almost imperceptible. In the long
run, however, the ground which is be-
ing taken may prove vital; the vari-
GUS armies fighting with an intensity
which has not been exceeded since
the war began.
Center of Interest Shifted
In Poland, the center of interest
has shifted slightly to the south.
Finding a direct road to Warsaw
blocked by Russian reinforcements,
the Germans made an attack from the
southwest, and have reached Skier
niewice, which is some 40 miles from
the Polish capiatl. Thus far they
have failed to pierce the Russian
lines, but have forced Grand Duke
Nicholas to withdraw his forces from

The Russians in Galicia have re-
sumed their offensive against the
Austro-German forces, which have
poured in from the west and across
the Carpathians. Although the allies

battles in the west, they are meeting
with very stubborn resistance, and
military men warn the public tina,
very heavy casualty lists must be ex
ected before any serious impression
can be made on German entrench

COLLECTOR ON
REVENUE Law

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 22.-If any
man in the Dakotas has been piled
with questions during the past 80 days
that man is James Coffey, collector of
internal revenue for the Dakotas.
Even now, although the war tax has
been in effect for three weeks, there is
not mail comes in but what does not
contain letters galore asking whether
or not certain papers and documents
require stamp.
Some of the more frequent queries
are answered herewith for the purpose
of taking off little Of the burden
from the collectors shoulders.
The question is asked many times
daily as to whether or not persons or
firm having bills against a municipali-
ty county or state are required to
place a stamp upon the affidavit &C.
companying the bill. The government
requires no stamp upon aftidavits OF
any character, nor does it require any
stamp on jurat Subscribed and sworn
! to- Another frequent question asked
Is whether or not tax sales certificates
should be stamped The law says that
certificates issued at tax sales or GER
tificates of redemption from tax sale
| do not rennire a stamp,
NotariaI Certificates.
The law requires stamp on the GER
tificate issued by the clerk of courts
, as to the qualifications of notary pub
lie or of justice of the peace.
Any documents, the stamping OF
which would make it necessary that
the state should furnish and aftix the
stamps are held exempt from the
stamp tax.
Returns of birth, certificates OF
death, and certificates of the regis
! trar as to the facts declared concern
: ing birth, marriage and death are none
: of them held to be subject to the stamp
, tax upon certificates, in view Of the
! fact that these certificates are given
pursuant to state laws and for pub
lie purpose.
A marriage certificate to be return
ed to any officer of the state, county
city or town to constitute part of a

A marriage certificate issued by an
