about the further Indifference to waste
full methods and habits. The print
paper supply is being rapidly depleted
and raw material for making paper
is in great demand. The importation
of cotton rags has practically ceased
and publishers are alarmed at the way
the prices of paper are mounting in
every new quotation. The national
government is taking up the matter of
all kinds of wastage and is advising
the saving of old papers, cotton and
linen rags, for they are becoming
were valuable every day and there is
a ready market for such material. Old
copper, scrap iron and many other
kinds of junk are in demand and many
of our back yards may become sources
of profit by gathering up salable junk
if the Great War lasts much longer.
Here is a chance for some enterpris-
ing boys to make a little ready money
during their spare hours. A market
can be found for many things that are
being kicked around under foot every
day.

Nj. o. HOUSE

Aberdeen News.-A Mobridge mer-
chant doesn't depend upon the local
newspapers to fight the mail order
houses for him by printing edi-
torials teaching the wickedness of
buying away from home, while
the merchant himself, possibly,
sends away for his own printing. The
Mobridge merchant has a better sys-
ten than that. He fights the mail
order houses on their own ground.
Last week in a page advertisement in
the local paper, this Mobridge mer-
chant compared the aprons he sold
with the aprons sold by a mail order
concern. The merchant bought a doz-
en- aprons from the manufacturer he
usually patronizes, for 81 a dozen, or
thirty-three and a third cents apiece.
Then he went through a mail order
catalogue and SEN away for an apron
the mail order concern charged 40
cents for. with 6 cents extra for post
age, which, with a 2 cent stamp made
the aprop cost him 81 cents. Then he
placed n Of the aprons from his 81
lot, and the mail order houses 40 cent
apron, side by side on his counters,
priced them the same, and without tell
ing his patrons that one apron was a
mail order apron and the other an
apron made for him to sell at 40
cents, asked comparisons between the
two aprons.
And forty-three Mobridge women
signed statements saying that in their
opinion the apron kept in stock by the
Mobridge nan was worth from 10 to
S5 cents more than the mail order
apron. The same Mobridge merchant
recently made the same comparison
between $25 worth of groceries at his
store and $25 worth Of mail order
groceries, with the same results.
1t is safe to say there are a lot of
Mobridge people who cannot be en-
ticed by the mail order house cata-
logues now. The Mobridge merchant
has shown them. and isn't afraid to
spend printers ink to do it.

PROVED VALUE OF ADVERTISING

In the April American Magazine is
the story Of a very wealthy man who
made his fortune through an advertis-
ing scheme. In front of a small store
in New York City a crowd was looking
at a novel article exhibited in the win
dow. The advertising man introduced
himself to the proprietor of the store
and said:
you have something here that is
worth a fortune if advertised. | want
to advertise it."
81 don't believe much in advertis-
ing" said the man.
I'll make you a proposition. If
triple the sales of the article in three
months will you give me a half inter
est in the business?"
After an hours talk the other con-
sented. Inside of five days he called
his new partner up on the phone and
begged him to stop as he was sold out
ten times over the capacity of his
plant. The advertising man took a
half interest in the business, rented a
~five-story building, advertised for
workers-and inside Of a month had
increased the output Of the article
forty-fold and extended his field to
other cities.

H CROW'S-NEST

Spring began according to astrono-
mical calculations, on March Goth,
4:47, p. m, Central Time. Whether
the weather will take notice of the
fact remains to be seen.
Kleptomania Is a very convenient
term for use in accounting for certain
moral d~elinquencies that We hear about
from time to time. The fact that a per-
son will take things that do not belong
to them and proceed to hide them is an
evidence that he or she has some idea
Of what is right or wrong and the
tenn cannot always be used as a cloak
to protect n against the operations
Of u laws against such transgressors.
There may be some people who have
this form of disease but it is not as
common as reported. OF late years
it is not being used as a matter of de-
tense as much as in former times.
Courts do not recognize this so-called
disease as a defense against crime
very often.
The warning nations of Europe for
some time have been utilizing the
waste products of former years and
the Central Powers, especially, are
turning everything possible to some
economic use. In this country we
have been revealing in extravaganza
and waste without the least thought
of the morrow. But nov comes some
very reasonable and urgent warnings

Saturday Literary Club Entertain

The hall was decorated with f~estoons

After the guests had dotted their wraps
they were presented with dainty Sham

to by Irish jokes-and surely some
very amusing ones were given. The
following program was much enjoyed:

lief that the people, through the old
built up an evil from which the people
must be delivered for their own saliva
ton.
1t was urged in support Of this poll
teal rescue work that once nomina-
tons had been secured by corrupt
mean the voters lacked the intelli-
gence or the independence to apply
the corrective at the ballot box. Be
lief prevailed that a few bosses of the
principal parties owned the votes Of
party adherents, and that the primary
would act as a solvent to destroy this
tie. 1t was believed that the average
voter dwelt in fear and that he was
able to defend himself only in secret
by the means Of an additional oppor-
tunity to exercise the right of suffrage
in the ~impenetrable shadow of the cur-
tanned booth.
There is an apparent change to the
belief that the dangers were largely
imaginary, or that, being real, the pri-
mary law has failed in its mission of
deliverance. The business of politics
goes on much as before. If there ever
were bosses they still hold the places
of power. There have been only the
changes incidental to death and re-
cruiting in the personnel of prominent
politicians. Taxes are not lower; the
quality of service has not been notice
ably improved, and those who failed
under the caucus and convention to
secure office still groan under the
%grievous burden of disappointment.
There has been a doubling of cleo
ton expenses for state, county and
city, there is more employment at pub
lie expense to cement rings if ever
rings existed. The miracle of purifi-
cation has not been worked; politics
still walks on feet of clay and the tax
payers, when gathered around their
family affairs for their morning and
evening grumbles mention the pri-
mary as a load to be removed.

nouncement that he is a candidate for
County Treasurer. Mr.. Culhane has
served under Mr.. Gullick, in this office,
for. several years and SO far as we
know has made a perfectly competent
deputy. He is certainly very familiar
with the details of the office and his
reputation for honesty and square
dealing in this community will entitle
him to recognition. So far as We have
heard Mr.. Culhane will have no op-
position. In any event 1t will take a
strong man to defeat him.

UNTO MICHAEL THEY SHOULD LISTEN
BY Charles {. Hall

Mike" Culhane is a loDgheaded studous cuss.

7 Club.
His business has made him a rare student of human nature, and
given him a deep insight into those things which make for the success
or failure Of men who sell things and of men who buy things.
In his own business he has been eminenuy successful and as
President of the Brookings Commercial Club he wished o be success
4 fl, for know We he is a Hbernian and has a pride in achievement
Therefore when he assumed the aforementioned office he cast
about to discover the thing that would do the most good for the
city and the doing of which would add to the glory and prestige of
the organization that had so signaly honored him.
And he found that thing.
Iii the lack of concerted effort on the part of merchants to make
Brookings is good if not a better trading point than any other city in
the state.
Therefore he has said to them get together
He knows and know and you know that to have it truthfuly said
that Brookngs is the best trading point within a radius of forty or
more miles would make every business more profitable, make every
foot of property more valuable and make us all better and happier
citizens
Therefore unto Michael you should listen.
