Merchants who advertise only in
out-of-town newspapers, or by circu.
lars that do not bear the imprint of
the home paper, are aiding very ma.
terially in driving trade of all kinds
away from hime, their own included.
If home merchants set the example
of going away from home to spend
their money, many other people will
thereby be encouraged to do the same.

The Trl-State Grain
Growers Convention
president J. H. Worst.)

The time has come, in my opinion,
when a change should be made in the
organization of the Tri-State Grain and
Stock Growers Association. The con-
vention has by its own action segre-
gated portions Of time for different
propaganda: for instance, one half day
is devoted to horticulture, one-half day
to the American Society of Equity, one
day to live stock, and one day to Con-
servation. This leaves only one day
and a couple of evenings for the Tri-
State Convention proper, which in
cludes opening exercises, appointment
and report of committees, etc.
It would seem more appropriate and
less confusing to open in the ordinary
way and conduct the first days work
as heretofore; then have the different
associations, such as horticulture, live
stock, Society of Equity, ETC., hold sec
tional meetings forenoons, where they
can attend to business matters, cleo
ton of officers, and other affairs that
pertain directly to their special lines
of work, each association to secure a
suitable hall for its meetings. After
moons and evenings should be devoted
to regular Tri-State Convention work,
in which all these associations would be
given an opportunity to participate in
the general program.
l wish the members of the associa-
ton would think the matter over and
be prepared to take such action as will
be for the best interests of the Tri-
State Convention. This Is important,
inasmuch as the Tri-State Grain Grow
ers' Convention has become great in
stitution and affords splendid oppor-
tunity annually for farmers of the
Northwest to get together and not only
become better acquainted with each
other, but discuss the many interests
involved in Northwestern development.
The matter will come before the forth
coming convention for consideration.
