SUMMER BAND CONCERTS

The first of a number of summer
concerts to be given by Bookings city
band was given last Friday evening in
the school park. The crowd was fair
considering the uncertain
ment made last week. In the past
these concerts have been well attended
by the local people and have been
quite attractive to residents Of the
nearby towns.
Prof. Carl Christensen is directing
this excellent organization as usual
and their first appearance gave ample
evidence that the old members Of the
band can still play and the new ones
are not lacking in ability.
The next concert will be given Fri
day evening at eight o'clock and the
following program will be rendered:
March Gallant Zouaves. King
Overture Mignon Thomas
Waltz Suite Alpine Sunset. King
My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice..
Saint-Saens

Brookinas Goes to Top Of Inter-County
League

Brookings defeated the much herald
ed Toronto team Wednesday afternoon
at the local park by a score of Z to 2,
and thus went to the top of the league
board over Bruce.
The Toronto pitcher did good work
and would have held the Brookings
boys down had his team given him bet
ter support. Six errors were chalked
up against each team. The local boys
are doing good work and with a little
more head and team work they will,
doubtless, have little difficulty staying
at the top.
Batteries for Toronto were Hovde
and Gamsemel, and for Brookings Oh

Another circum tancr happened the

A FORREST COUPLE
MARRIED IN TEXAS

The plains people had some real ex-
citement one day last week and the
facts as told to the News are about
as follows:
Joe Beaver u well known farmer
who lives near Forrest, went back to
Texas several months ago on visit
While there he met one Joe Hall and
they became friends. Mr.. Hall re-
turned with Mr.. Beaver and his fam
lily to the plain country about six
months ago and took up his abode at
the Beavers home.
II seems that Hall took fancy to
l4-year old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Beaver and actually fell in love
with her and she became smitten on
Hall. When this becGme known, so
the story goes, Mr.. Beaver objected
most seriously and asked Hall to leave
his home, which he did.
On Thursday both Hall and Beavers
were in Melrosc on business and Hall
took this opportunity to see his girl.
He hired car and drove 20 the For
rest school house, arriving there be-
fore school had been called in the
morning on Friday. Miss Beavers
was met by Mr.. Hall and they left
in the car, going to TIE leo, thence TO
Farwell, Texas, where they we're mar
ried.
In the meantime the father of the
bride had returned home and got tho
word Of the elopement. He, too, hireG
car and followed the couple, going
as far as TeXico, thence back to Clo-
Wis where he found the run-aways. He
caused a warrant to he issued for the
arrest of Hall on the charge Of kid
mapping his daughter. and the arrest
was made that night. II is rumored
that Beavers suggested if he would
divorce the girl he would not be pros
ecuted. This Mr. Hall refused to do
and said he now had a wife and would
let the law takes its course. He gave
bond TO the amoun of $500 for ap-
pearance at the next termn Of dis
trict court.
We understand that Mr.. Hall is a
man thirty years old. has money and
lately purchased farm near Forrest,
but will refrain from commenting on
the intent of him at this time. We
have known young girls who married
men twice their age who were happily
united for life, but in most cases it
has been just the opposite, but here's
hoping that everything will end in
the language Of Billy Bryan, peace
at any price"

MIR. HAMILTON BADLY INJURED

Last week the News reported the
accident which happened to G. B. Ham
ilton, as being Of minor Importance
and that he would soon recover. This
week it is necessary to say that after
an examination at the Tucumcari Hos
pital it became known that he sus-
tained fractured hip joint which will
require about three months TO put
Mr.. Hamilton in shape to H"lk. ana
then it is feared he will never fully
recover
This is sad news, not only because
he is badly needed in every public
movement but he has big insurance
business which requires considerable
of his personal attention. The acci-
dent happened when Mr.. Hamilton
stepped out of slowly moving auto,
and at no time was it considered so
serious until the X-ray machine was
put into service.

SAIESMANSHIP

Nearly every merchant considers
himself mastc~ sal, ,man, and is
always talking about how hard il is
20 get the man who can sell the goods,
and it would be impossible to convince
that merchant that the fault lies with
himself and not with the applicants
who are turned down many times
through the petty fault findings Of
the so called boss. Th, word "sales-
ma lship" is not under TODD by many
Of those people VINO usa it the most.
Many OF them think il consists of
selling an article Of merchandise, and
has nothing to do with the handling
Of men, or the different situations
that are always arising in every bus
mess of any consequence.
have heard men who were drawing
down the salary of manager talk
to customer, and thought he was
using this so called craftsmanship,
while the fact of he matter his talk
was offensive, but the type of man
before him vas not educated enough
TO appreciate the fac. that he was
in the position Of luyer, and not
looking for employment?
The finest kind Of salcsmanship that
can be used is "A thorough knowledge

FIELD OF REV. +. J. HOERING

II Ia with feeling Of relief, that
we are able to report that the Rev.
+. J. Hoering OF st. NJ chael's, 1T Tu-
cumcari, has declined recent call to
become a member of the Cathedral
staff Of clergy, in the Diocese of Chi
cago. There was not much hesitation
on Mr.. Hoering's part in this declina-
ton. Any appeal that the call may
have had to personal prediction was
quickly made subseryient TO the con-
scientious conviction, that this Mis-
sionary District, and his devoted peo-
Pile in Tucumcari, needed him. Such
an attitude is, OF course, not extraor-
dinary, on the part Of our missionary
clergy, Instances are frequent. May
orr !aity as we'll as the Bishop feel
grateful that our District has men who
can give these proofs of the reality
Of their conservation and fidelity

DOES ADVERTISING PAY

Many of the retail merchants in the
average town Of 1000 people. are men
who have advanced from the ranks OF
the employee. Their greatest problem
in business is 10 turn their stocks over
as many times year as they can,
and collect the good hard cash for the
same. Location, supply and demand
has something to do with the success
Of many transient stores in large
cities. but il is an entirely different
proposition with the merchant in
small town where everyone knows
each other. Salesmanship Of the best
kind consists of giving the best value
and service that can be bought for
the money. Advertising will bring
the people into your store, but they
must be attended to after they go in.
II you are unable to deliver the goods
then "for heavens sake" don't blame
the newspaper, il the people refuse
TO answer yolr advertising. Value
and good service backed up by adver-
tising are the weapons that have built
our big stores and every other kind Of
business that has ever made any mon
ey for its stockholders. The old ex-
cuse that advertising does not pay is
a confession that you neglected your
opportunity when the trading people
gave you n call. You can buy your
goods as cheap as your competitor,
your store is just as modern, and
everything else being equal, why not
try and study your most successful
con. ,.etitor, and if he is a little more
polite or giving better service then
il is up 20 you.
