InaersoIi on Life and Death.

Life is q narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks Of two eterni-

the heights. We cry aloud and the
only answer is the echo of our wailing
cry. From the voiceless lips Of the
unreplying dead there comes no word;

The average businessman extends
too much credit. We all lose too much
money every year thru bad accounts.
The man who is able to pay and does
pay, necessarily has to help pay the
merchant for those bad debts, other

in every town, deadbeats who have q
systematic way of living off the mer-
chants the year round. They pay
cash for a month or so, establish a

beat the merchant. When they can
buy no more merchandise at that
place without paying up, they start in
with some other merchant and soon
get him. Businessmen everywhere
are growing more careful of their
credits. Business organizations en-

During the next five years, wonder
full strides will be made in getting the
producer and consumer closer togeth-
er. This is bound to come, it is as in
evitable as the tide. The middleman
will not necessarily be eliminated, but
his business will undergo gradual
reorganization accordingly. No doubt,
this will have quite an effect on GER
tain lines Of business in the smaller
towns, but the larger cities, such as
Minot, are bound to keep on growing
steadily. In many of the smaller
towns, the merchants of today are en-
tering other lines of business, many
of them becoming producers by till
ing the soil. The up-to-date merchant
will never need to fear the effects Of
the mail order houses, for in time he
will give the mail order business Ger
tain amount of attention as many
stores of Minot are doing right now.
Then again, there are always those
shoppers who will never buy until they
can see just what they are getting,
besides local merchants can and do
compete successfully with the mail
order houses Of the east. Many of the
farmers are banding together to buy
in larger quantities, thus securing
lower prices for their commodities.
The local merchant can bid for this
business and in practically all in
stances get it if given chance, for
knowing that the business is to be
strictly cash, he can afford to sell on
a low margin.

Two farmers not long since were
discussing their home paper. One Of
them thought It had too many adver-
tisements in Il. The other replied:
"In my opinion the advertisements are
far from being the least valuable part
of it. look them over carefully and
save at least five times the cost of
the paper each week through the ad-
vantages I get from them" Said the
other: IT believe you are right
know that they pay me well and rath-
er think it is not good taste to find
fault with the advertisements after
all" These men have the right idea
of the matter. It pays any man with
a family to take good local paper
for the sake Of the advertisements If
nothing more. And if business men
fail to give farmers advertisements to
read in the local paper, they are blind
to their own interests to say the least.
