PUSHING FOR BUSINESS.

In a keen comparison of the necessity for the retail store pro
prietor to push for business through the medium Of newspaper
just as the wholesale businessman finds it necessary
to send out statesmen to sell his goods, Public Opinion, of Bismarck
says:
Every scientifically organized business lays aside a certain
proportion of it's funds to promote sales. The moment it quits
aggressive effort to extend it's trade, that moment it begins to
suffer. For a time it can run along on momentum. That is
not long in these days of rapid changes.
It is the business of a sales department not merely to stand
in a receptive attitude waiting for customers to come along
and buy. It is it's business to scour it's possible territory for
new business and to keep up a continual hunt for new custom
ers.
If no correctly organized wholesale business expects to get
along without sales promotion work, it does not seem likely
that the retail business can win out without the same effort.
Newspaper advertising is the retail stores sales promotion
department. BY all the anaogies of business, by all the ex-
perience of successful business men, it needs to be pushed with
vipor if a business is to grow or even hold it's own.

HAVE YOU SIGNED THE PLEDGE.

Every housewife in North Dakota should be willing (and put
forth a special effort to secure a pledge card if necessarily to sign
the pledge to abide by the governments food conservation pro-
gram. It costs nothing to pledge yourself and entails no obligation
other than that you will do all in your power to help conserve the
food supply of the nation by abiding by the few simple rules.
Uncle Sam wants to know that you are willing to do your part
and the very act of signing the card will serve to impress upon
your min the simple conditions of the pledge. Signing the pledge
does not mean that either you or your family will have to undergo
and ~hardships as a result of your pledge, but it does mean that you
are one of the thousands who are now taking an active interest,"
IN the conservation of food and that you are willing to 40 your DIT
to help out at this critical period of the nations history:
If you haven't already signed one of the pledge cards, get one
today, sign and mail it. If you havnt a card and no friend near
YOU has an extra one which you can secure, the Courant will be
pleased to send you one or more upon receipt of your request.

THE NEWS.

Once again the kept press in the Twin Cities have given an ex-
ample of how hard put they are to find material for use against
the Nonpartisan League. The most recent instance is the manner
in which they distorted the report of State Bank Examiner Wat
es' warning to banks against the practice of some bankers in re-
fusing to honor checks, drawn by farmers with money in the
bank and made payable to the League or other organizations for
membership fees.
In the letter written by Examiner Waters, no statement was
made which could properly be construed to mean that ne desired
to direct bankers to honor checks where the drawers had no funds
on checking account, or whose funds were all on deposit in the
pose that anyone with money in a bank on long time, interest bear
ing certificates would give a check for say $500 without sufic-
lent funds on checking account to insure it's payment; but, even
so, no statement in Examiner Waters letter can by any stretch
of imagination be properly construed to mean that he intended to
request or force banks to honor checks where the drawers there
of did not have funds on checking account to cover the amount.
This did not, however, prevent some some OF the antl-league
daiies in the Twin Cities from reading into Mr.. Waters, letter
things he did not say and then proceeding to criticise MI. Waters
for the statements they, but not Mr.. Waters, made. =.
At first thot it might seem that such a distorted report could
have little effect other than to make the papers which published
it the laughing stock of the northwest (where the true facts are
known), but when it remembered that these Twin City paper re-
ports are sent broadcast throughout the eastern states and pub
lsfed in eastern papers as authentic news, it can be seen what the
motive is behind this distortion of the facts. 1t is upon such a bas-
consumers meeting held recently in st. Paul and it is upon re-
ports of this character, and not the actual facts, that the noisy
Teddy is now basing his attacks upon the League.
If this state is in truth being injured in the East it Is as a re-
suit of this class of alleged news reports and not anything that
the Nonpartsan League, it's officers or members have said or
done.
1t is reported that a plot to kidnap Fords heir has been dis
covered. Maybe, tho, this is Just another one OF those Ford Jokes.

The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-11-08

State Bank Examiner J. E. Waters has found it necessary to
issue a letter to the bankers of the state, warning those OF them
who have been guilty of refusing payment on checks made pay
able to the Nonpartisan League, and drawn by persons, having
money in the bank to meet them, that his department will not toll
crate such conduct. This action by the State Bank Examiner r
was made necessary by the apparent conspiracy on the part OF
certain bankers to obstruct the operations of the League by retus-
ing payment on checks drawn by farmers in payment Tor mem
bership fees.
That some such action as that taken by Bank Examiner Wat
es was necessary, is evidenced by the fact that League organizers
in various parts OF the state have been greatly handicapped IN
their work and League headquarters put to a great deal OF unnec-
essary trouble and expense by the delay in some instances, and
the absolute refusal in others, of certain bankers to pay checks
drawn in favor of the League.
This is just another instance of the numerous petty schemes
of the anti-League, ant-farmer crowd to harass this great move
ment. No one knows better than the anti-League bankers that
a movement of this kind cannot live without funds and, failing
in their efforts to persuade the farmers of the state not to join the
League, they hit upon this new scheme. They figured that if they
could get by" with this plan to refuse payment OF League men,
bership checks that they could make it impossible for the organ
ization to continue in existance. Fortunately, however, this state
has a bank examiner who will not stand for law violation, and
who stands ready to make an, example of the first banker who
disregards his warning. Not all bankers of the state, and in
some sections only a few, have been guilty Of this offence against
good banking practice, but those of them who are and who contin-
ue to violate the law in their desire to injure the League deserve
all that is coming to them.
