The esteemed editor of the Swink
Advocate last week took this shot
at 'em. IF firm does not adver-
tise in the Advocate, it does not
want your business" We We're be
ginning to respect and admire the
Advocate editor but we could hard
ly go that far with him-we might
say, however, that the firm who
does not advertise does not deserve
your business but -want-that's
another angle of the question en-
tirely. It's human nature to want
something that you cannot get and
no firm should get business with
out legitimate advertising.

Rev. J. r. Ashley, formerly pas.

of his old home town in Indiana,
recently drew a large congrega-

take notice" when he discOursed
on "The Sin Of Gossip. . The
Monticello, Ind, Evening journal
made the following reference to
his sermon:
The announcement made in the
journal church column Saturday
that Rev. Ashley, pastor Of the
Christian church, would preach a
sermon on Gossip" at the even
ing service Sunday, had the effect
of filling the church to capacity.
But there was disappointment in
the minds Of those who went ex-
pecting the sermon to be "yel-
low" and anticipating the retail
ing Of the latest output from the
gossipers Of Monticello. True, as
announced, "some late gossip was
given as an illustration but it
was impersonal and might fit any
where, being rather the form Of
gossip than the real gossip itself.

scriptural, and ia the quotations
that interlarded the sermon there
was shown 10 be plenty of divine
command against the too preyas
lent sin of gossiping and the con-
demnation therefor
Ii was announced that list Of
the names Of some Of the more
prominent gossipers would be
shown ON a blackboard and a vote
taken to determine the worst one
of the lot As the face of the
blackboard was turned 10 the wall
until the sermon began, there was
naturally considerable speculation
ON the part Of the audience as TO
what names the board would dis
close and whether the preacher
would have the nerve TO thus adj
vertise to the city the names OF
those who have regulations for be-
ing tale bearers. And when he be-
gan his sermon and reversed the
board there was really an almost
inaudible gasp here and there
throughout the audience. There
were those present, il seems, who
were expecting something big 10

gossipers in this and all other
towns were there all right, and
they were not strangers TO the an-

dience to determine which one Of
the list is the worst and the most
harmful. Mr.. Suspicion was vot-
ed cit. with Mrs. Long Tongue a
close second.
Rev Ashley preached a strong
sermon and he made the assertion
that men gossipers are worse than
women gossipers, which seemed TO
have the approval Of the audience

Of heads IN the affirmative. As a

The poultry show at the Armory
this week is attracting good deal
of attention. A visit to the show will
reveal the fact that there are more
high class birds grown in this section
of the state than any one realizes.
You will find poultry of all breeds
grown in this section and many of the
birds are as classy as can be found
in the United States. North Dakota's
climate is particularly favorable to
the growth of strong, healthy birds.
With eggs at 60 cents dozen, as they
have been bringing all winter, and
dressed poultry almost impossible to
get at any price, it is little wonder
that more interest is being taken in
the poultry business right along. Some
immense poultry farms are due to be
built up in this section of the state
during the coming summer.
