BULLETIN MAKES ITS BOW.

The Bulletin, the official publication
of the Association Of Commerce, made
its bow this week. The Bulletin has
made hit with the members of the
association and we are glad to note
that it is to appear each month. Sec
rotary Holbein, in his Salutatory,
gives some facts concerning what the
Association is doing. The Independent
considers it of such Importance that
we publish it below:
SALUTATORY.
So much misunderstanding is preva-
lent these days, and especially in COM
mercial club work, that the publication
of The Bulletin seems necessary.
What is the Association of Com
merce doing?
What real good is it accomplishing?
Is there need of an Association Of
Commerce?
These questions are being asked fire.

who, in the hurry and hustle of bust

work that is being done for them by
the Association of Commerce.
1t is true that the newspapers of

achievements but the average mind
will not retain all of them, and give
the Association Of Commerce any
credit, and consequently, when some

Germany's long-expected reply has
been received and while in some ways
lit meets the demand of this govern
ment, it has proved disappointment
in others. Germany sends us a copy
of new order that has been issued to
her submarine commanders, ordering
them not to sink vessels without warn
ing and to give all on board a chance
to escape, unless such vessels at
tempt to escape. This government
had hoped that Germany would stop
her submarine warfare altogether.
Germany made a rather singing reply,
calling attention to the furnishing of
munitions by concerns of the United
States. The Imperial government re-
fers also to England's interference of
trade, stating that it is no greater
crime against humanity to send de-
fenseless women and children to the
bottom of the sea than it is to shut
off Germany's food supply, needed by
her starving women and children. 1t
is believed that if Germany adheres
to her new submarine policy, there
will be no break. This government
may not reply to the note for the
present, awaiting results Of the new
order. This government cannot ques-
ton Germany's good faith unless the
declaration made by that country
should not prove effective. In her re-
ply, Germany states that she is ready
to consider peace terms such as might
be possible for the Imperial govern
ment to accept.

on the insurance companies in an is
sue of the Non-partisan Leader some

the newspapers to pull their chest

proposes to furnish newspapers free
plates and all that they ask the news
papers is to print them, furnish the
print paper free, do the press work,
pay for the ink, etc. The Federation
claims that since statehood, the insur-
ance business in North Dakota has not
shown any profit to the fire COM
panies. The poor things! Had we
been doing business at a loss for so
many years, we'd surely get out and
try some other line. The Independent
always pays we'll for it's insurance
policies and we do not see any reason
why we should give the Insurance Fed
Grafton $25 worth of advertising
gratis.

"OFF THE FIRING LINE"

Minot's "Grand Old Man, Colonel
Alexander Scarlet, has been called
from the firing line by the Grand
Commander of the Universe, to that
land of eternal peace. He fought a
good fight. He lived we'll rounded
out career, filled with generous acts
and kind deeds for those less fortunate
than himself. He braved life's bat
ties with determination Characters
tic of, the Scottish race, and
adversely only made his character
the stronger. He obeyed the
orders of his Grand Commander with
childish faith and he has richly won
his honorable discharge that will give
him eternal rest from all earthly
cares.
Colonel Scarlet won an enviable
place in the hearts of his fellowmen.
He was man Of most distinctive
character, clean living, high minded,
philanthropic gentleman. A noble
man by birth, he could have lived in a
castle in Scotland, yet he preferred the
simple life in America where "a mans
a man for a. that" He was friend
to the dumb animals and his good
work in connection with the humane
society will influence future genera
tions. A friend to those in distress, he
placed his hand so often in his own
pocketbook that he died richer in good
deeds than in worldly possessions. He
"let not his left hand know what his
right hand doeth" for no one will ever
know a thousandth part of his chart
table acts.
Our old friend, the Colonel, is no
longer con the firing line" but he will
ever be remembered as one of our
states greatest citizens. 1t must be
as comforting to his widow as it is to
his friends, that when taps were
sounded and the summons from his
Commander came, he answered, 81 am
going beyond; thank God I am ready"

Every North Dakota merchant
should read attentively and consider
carefully this statement recently
made by Herman Rosenleid, advertis-
ing manager for Sears, Roebuck &
Co., before a meeting of the members
of the American Advertising Club:
"We have bureau whose duty it is
to read each week the country news
papers from all over the country
There is not a paper of any conse-
quence in our trade territory that our
bureau does not get. This bureau
looks over these papers and when we
find town where the merchants are
not advertising in the local papers we
flood that territory with our literature.
1t always results far in excess of the
same effort put forth in territory in
which the local merchants use their
local paper."-Valley City Courier.
