ADVISES HIGHER
NEWSPAPER RATES

AN increase in subscription and

all concerned" said ]. B. Powell, in
structor in advertising at the Univer-

Press Association convention in Kan

Higher rates are necessary TO main

their tendency to eliminate from our
advertising columns adventures with
q little capital, who, unknown to the
publisher. seek to exploit q~uestiona-
bic merchandise by newspaper adver-
Using. More faith would thus be

A meeting of the automobile parade
committee for the Fall Festivities
was held at the Ringo Hotel Wednes-
day evening. 1t was planned to have
the parade form on East Love street
instead Of south of the railroad, as
was first suggested, in order to avoid
crossing the track with so many ma
chimes. The automobile owners of
Mexico and surrounding country which
will include all the visitors in Mexico
on Thursday afternoon, Oct. IL, will
tlke part in the parade whether their
cars are decorated or not. 1t was de-
cided to use such things as flags,
streamers, banners, paper flowers,
'colored paper, autumn leaves, vines,
sunflowers or other foliage. The dec
Grated autos will lead the procession,
and the route will be directed by off
GERS of the day. 1t is expected that
this procession will outnumber any
former parade of any kind ever given
in Mexico, and automobiles will join
the procession from the cross streets
leading into Love street, as directed
by those in charge of the pageant.
The judges will be named entirely
from out-of-town guests, and the COM
mitteemen may therefore decorate au-
to5 and compete for the prizes.
There is also twelve other prizes to
b. given for the decorated and undec-
GRATED cars, and each owner or driver
entering the pageant will be given a
ticket with a number on it. Persons
desiring to compete for the prizes Of
fered for the best decorated machines
will please inform, either by phone or
otherwise, any member Of the commit
tee, which is composed Of the follow
ing well known ladies: Mrs. Charles
Carpenter, Chairman; Mrs. George

Fargo to Beach. Scenic attractions
increase after Bismarck is reached
For hours the route runs through a
rich farming country and by towns
each one OF which has its interesting
features.
While considerable work must be
done to place the roads in first-class
condition, it is surprising the few
points there are along the route that
give any trouble to motorists. Bur
leigh, Morton, Stark, Billings and
Golden Valley counties are doing all
in their power to put the Red Trall
route in tirst-class shape.
The towns along the route in North
Dakota are prepared to care for the
motorists. Each town has its we'll

to make a motor tour successful.

Increased traffic between Dickinson
and points west Of Medora should be
an additional impetus to hasten a
bridge over the Missouri river at Els
marck. The two counties are neglect
ing a golden opportunity in not or
ganizing at once an association to put
this venture through.
Governor Hanna in his address al
Medora Monday, made an earnest plea
for bridge at this point. 1t is one
thing lacking to make the Red Trai
q complete success.
The first Sociability Tour over the
Red Trail is going to create more and

of the additional traffic over this
beautiful motor route. The travel will

tain-head of evily, meets the virtuous
Delano, who does not conceal the fact
that he is unimpressed by her charms

contest begins. 1t is contest be.
