Talk about newspaper advertising,
here is a pointer. The Golden Rule
Store, St. Paul, on Sunday, Sept. 18th,
used ten full columns of the Pioneer
Press. This store was started 80 years
ago with Grit for capital. Today it is
worth millions-all due to newspaper
advertising.

are lost each year, through unwise in
vestments, the purchase of shoddy
goods from irresponsible peddlers and
donations to charities which are UNI
worthy. The average man has not the
time or the means to investigate all OF
these propositions which are put up to
him and as result a very large
amount of money is absolutely wasted
In every community.
All over the country it is known to-
day that North Dakota has harvested
excellent crops and that her people
will have money. AS result this
state will be flooded with all kinds of
solicitors. The get-quick-rich men
will offer stocks and wares, solicitors
and peddlers of all kinds will try to
work all districts of the state and
every kind of scheme will be tried out,
which will promise to "get the money"
for the solicitor.
There is better opportunity for prof
liable investment in North Dakota to-
day than in almost any other section
on earth. This state is growing, she
needs many forms of business enter
prises and our own money should be
invested in our own state.
In many communities, commercial
organizations and Farmers clubs in
vestigate propositions which are pre-
scented to their members and advise
them as to the honesty or those who
seek their money. Almost any COM
munity has in it competent men who
can look into these different solicitor
propositions and report upon them.
Before you invest in any kind Of
proposition presented by transient
strangers of whom you know nothing,
either have his proposition Investigate
ed by your commercial or Farmers or
ganization or by your bankers. Thous-
ands of dollars will be saved to the
community and state if our people will
know that their money is being well
spent and that none of it goes into
the hands of grafters.

MA AND THE MOTOR CAR,


Now just remember I don't need as
sistance from the rear;
If you will just keep still back there
and hold in check your fright
I'll take you where you want to go
and get you back all right.
Remember that my hearin's good and
also I'm not blind
And l can drive this car without
suggestions from behind
Ma promises that she'll keep still,
then off we'll gaily start,
But soon she notices ahead a ped
dler and his cart.
You'd better foot your horn,' says
she, Ito let him know we're
near,
He might turn out" and pa replies:
Just Shrek at him my dear"
And then he adds: "Some day some
guy will make lot of dough
BY putting horns on tonneau seats
for women folks to blow"
A little further on ma says: "He sig
nailed for turn"
And pa says: Did he?" in tone
that's hot enough to burn.
ooh, there's a boy on roller skates, -
ma cries, now do go slow,
I'm sure he doesn't see our car"
And pa says, Il dunno,
think l don't need glasses yet, but
really it may be
That am blind an cannot see
what's right in front of me-"
If pa should speed the car a bit some
rigs to hurry past,
Ma says: "Now do be careful! You
are driving much too fast
An all the time she's pointing out the
dangers Of the street
An keeps him posted on the roads
where street cars he Will meet,
Last night when we got safely home.
VI pa sighed an said: "My dear,
I'm sure we've all enjoyed the drive
you gave us from the rear"

THE REPUBLIC
Thou, too, sail on, 0 Ship of State!
Sail on, o Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all it's fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel,
What Workmen wrought thy ribs of
steel,
Who made each mast, and sail, and
rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors Of thy. hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and
shock,
IT'S of the wave and not the rock;
IT'S but the Tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale;
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with
thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee, ARE all with thee!

Mrs. Ida Maddox, 81 years old,

The difference between success and
failure in a crop of wheat is often de-
termined by the character of the seed
bed. 1t is not always possible to pre-
pare an ideal seed-bed for wheat be-
cause of unfavorable weather condi-
tions. The most Fundamental consid.
Grafton in seed-bed preparations is
that of having the soil we'll settled be-
low and loose at the surface. Early
blowing usually makes this since il
gives the land time to settle.

By Land Now

You can make no better investment
than to buy Western farm land
and do it before the high prices of
and great demand for agricultural
products force a big increase in val
ues. In the Big Horn Basin and in
the North Platte Valley, irrigated
farms are being cut in two and offer
ed for sale on very favorable terms.
All crops there are the heaviest on
record. You can secure a Govern
.ment irrigated farm near Powell,
Wyo., almost as a gift. Ask about
this. The value of this years crop,
on thousands of acres in Nebraska
and Colorado, is equal to the original
cost of the land.
If you are not fixed to buy on easy
terms, take 320-acre Mondell home
stead in Wyoming, for mixed dairy
farming. Look the West over now.
You can ride all day thru miles and
miles of bumper crops and make your
own deduction as to what this con-
dition means to the man who will buy
land in these localities now. Write

Are You Phslling to the Phall
Phestivities proposition as becometh
a booster and live wire?
That travelling fellow, Holmes, is
favoring a subway for footmen under
the Jefferson street railroad crossing.
Says the cost would not be over $500.
His idea is fine, but what do you think
of his arithmetic? He's too low on
cost.
You ought to see Russell Hmmons
out on lark with that cute little
white bob-tailed dog.
VIM. Frazier is back from his visit
in Colorado. He does not tire in
talking of what he saw and enjoyed
out there. He was carrying a big
fine jonathan apple the other day.
But he did not grow 1t in the Golden
State. He grows great quantities of
them in Missouri. And he never has
to spray, either. How does he do it?
If the weather will behave we are
going to have the biggest crowds in
Mexico Phall Phestivities week ever
seen here.
That big road grader the Eight
Mile Road District bought last spring
got lost around here in the mud.
Nobody has seen or heard anything of
it lately.
The Hardin girls and the Military
boys have opened the years program.
They paraded to the several churches
Sunday-and marched in, casting sly
glanees yon and here, the girls at the
boys and the boys at the girls. Why
not, of course? Who wouldn't?
A very little boy has enrolled as a
student at the Military Academy.
That is, his father calls him little.
He is a Missourian and lives in anoth-
er town. The father sent the young
hopeful here by himself and wrote in
structions as to how he expected him
looked after, closing with this line,
"and don't let the large boys run over
my little boy" When the young man
arrived he showed himself IT years
old, weighs 275 pounds and is six and
a half feet tall. Will they run over
him?
Little Miss Nellie ]. McCune, seven
years old, is going to be farmer
girl. She lives with her uncle and
aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Sharp. Miss
Nellie put out planting of pumpkins
this season. Cultivated and looked
after them herself. Lately she has
sold $500 worth Of pumpkins from
the planting. She's a gritty little
thing. Last spring she made trip
from California to Mexico unaccom-
panied. Master Philip Bell, one of
Nellie's little neighbors, also planted
a garden. But they were flowers. He
has sold $3.50 worth of one variety.
Philip also made trip from califor-
mia. Nellie and he have both seen
something of the world.
