Here are Some Tips on the Effect Of
Weather on Business.

There is an article in the November
American Magazine which tells how
weather helps or hurts business. The
writer says:
! Seasonable weather is good for almost
every line of business where something
! is sold over a counter. Cold weather
boosts more lines OF trade than hot
weather 1t is an old saying that cold
weather helps everything except the ice
and hammock business. Rain NAV do
harm or good, according to what one has
to sell. And it makes a big difference
in certain lines whether rain comes on
one day or another-whether in the
morning or afternoon. Moreover, the eff
feet on small town store is not the
same as on a city store,
I'm large city, the business of
department store is seriously hurt by
a rain in the forenoon, but rain in the
early afternoon is usually a big help.
Most customers of big city department
store are women. and nearly all of them
live out some distance from the store
at the edge of the city, or in the sub
urbs. If it rains along about eight or
nine o'clock in the morning the woman
who had planned to go shopping that
day is quite likely to change her mind,
even though she did not intend to go
until afternoon The rain not only sug-
gests discomfort in getting about, but
diminishes her desire or immediate need
for certain articles, and drives the shop
ping idea out of her head. On the 9TH
er hand, if it is bright and clear in the
but clouds up about noon for
4 heavy downpour which lasts most OF
the afternoon, it is the best thing that
could happen for the department store,
because shoppers get in, and cannot COM
'ortably get out. They shop all over the
store, buy lunch there, and shop some
more.
"While the rain is thus helping the
department. stores, it may hurt the
mailer shops, because many customers
Who would otherwise look around are
obliged to do their buying all under one
oof."

MANUFACTURE Of PAINT
NEWEST CITY INDUSTRY

Dickinson, Aug. 01.-Deposits of OK.
ide of paint have recently been discov-
cred in the Bad Lands and are now
found in large commercial quantities.
All colors are found, which means
that paint can be manufactured here
at home and it will be just fine paint,
ground in oil, using no chemicals in
any form, thus producing paint that
will last many times longer than the
chemically prepared paints that are
sold on the markets today. These
oxides have been thoroughly tested
out, mill having been put up for that
purpose. These natural mineral
paints far exceed in strength and rich
ness even the most optimistic expec.
tations.
In connection with the paint indus.
try, 1t is the intention of the company
that is being formed to manufacture
these paints, to also put in an oil mill,
thus making the entire product all
home made. Under present .circum-
stances we are paying freight out on
the max seed and freight back on the
oil, which expense can be eliminated
by making the oil at home, besides
providing q home market for our
growers Of hax seed.
This enterprise promises to be not
only Of most importance to the city
of Dickinson and surrounding country
but to the whole state, ~ pure paints

HIGH COST OF LIVING !.
HITS BOARD Of CONTROL

The state board of control is up
against the high cost of living. In
making estimates for clothing and
food, they underestimate the nun.
Der they would have to provide for.
Recently, 5000 bushels Of potatoes
had to be purchased for the insane
hospital at Jamestown at 80 cents to
81 bushel. It has been expected
this institution would produce enough
potatoes, but the potato crop was q
failure. :.
Runs Over $50 Inmates.
At the penitentiary 1t was estimat'
ed that there would be an average oof
$50 inmates. Until recently the num-
Der has been far in excess. In addi'
ton, the increased cost of supplies has
rendered the expense Of running the
institution about 20 per cent more
than was estimated. &c.,.
In 1914 the prisoners were fed for
% cents day, where it costs 30 cents
in 1915. Drugs have increased from
100 to 900 per cent. The cost Of
clothing has also rapidly increased.
Prohibition Laws Help. 81.
Violators of the prohibition laws
boost the number Of inmates. These
men are all short term men from six
months to two years, with most Of
them in for but a year. When dis.
charged each man must be provided
with a suit Of clothes and S bill,
just the same as the man sent up for
long term. t
The severity of last winter required
more coal than was estimated. The
jamestown institution consumed 49,
900 tons.
