propriate and inspiring patriotic SER

and defenders.
In regard to the wal Mr.. Gallagher

GRABBED HERE
Local Police Apprehend Men
Believed to be Wanted by
Minneapolis Chief.

Shortly before midnight last night,
local police officials apprehended Carl
o. Gessler and George A. Slagle, be-
lieved to be wanted by the Mime
apolis police on a charge of stealing
an automobile.
Minneapolis police notified Chief J.
w. Lowe Saturday that two men, be-
lieved to be those wanted for the theft
of a car were headed towards this
city. Late Sunday night Gessler and
Slagle attempted to trade a big Buick
machine to a Crookston man, at the
Read garage. Employees of the Read
company notified the police and the
approximations were made. '
One of the men confessed to Chief
Lowe this morning that they had
stolen the machine from the corner Of
Ninth avenue south and Lake street,
Minneapolis, last Tuesday, but inves-
tigation revealed the fact that the car
numbers were different. 1t Is now be-
lieved that the machine held here is
another theft, and the two men will
be detained, pending the receipt of
further information from the Minne-
apolis authorities.

istrants to Delay Filing
Claims.

County Auditor Hans Anderson,
clerk Of the Grand Forks county TX
emption board, has not received ex-
emption blanks from the government

4! Mr.. Anderson stated this forming
that he has been besieged with claims
during the past week, and that many
Of those who believe that they
should be exempted, have no excuses
other than some trivial cause which
will be considered as immaterial.
The county clerk also warns those
who will make aff1davits before a no.
tary that they have dependent rela-
tives, to be careful not to perjure
themselves, as each claim will be
thoroughly Investigated and those who
have failed to tell the truth, will be
subject to severe punishment.
"All I can say now" said MI. And

trants alike, whether he be poor or
rich man. and we demand that the
truth and nothing but the truth be
brought before this board for con-

|. W. W. LABOR
PLAN GIVEN UP
BY T0WNLEY
His Scheme Did not Take
Well With Farmers of
the State.

Fargo, July 16.-Because the farm
ers Of the eastern part Of the state
opposed A. c. Townley's scheme to
import I. w. w. farm hands, the Nom
partisan league has abandoned the
scheme, according to an announce
ment made at headquarters.
The scheme was abandoned with
out submitting it to a referendum as
had been promised, after farmers at
a meeting in Devils Lake had failed
to sanction the plan to make an
agreement as to wages and hours with
I. w. w. farm laborers. Meetings at
Minot and Bismarck voted in favor
of the plan, but the Valley City and
Devils Lake gatherings were strenu-
ously opposed to any such contract.

Mr.. Townley in a lengthy statement

1.-The Leagues chief reason for
dropping the plan to work out an
agreement between the organized
farm laborers and the farmers is that
the League members are divided on
the subject. The farmers in the west
ern part Of the state, as shown by our
meetings at Bismarck and Minot, are
anxious for the plan. to go through.
They believe a working agreement
with the A. W. U. would prevent labor
disputes this fall and furnish the

NO LONGER THE CASE OF HANDING GOODS
OVER THE COUNTER.

There is just as much or more business in
Price at this time as there was before we entered
the war or this city became bone dry" The
first temporary shocks are being lived down, so
10 speak, and good business" is the slogan. But
there is fly in the ointment. Price business
men have noticed of late that the buying public
is of an inquisitive mind such as never before
existed. Quality and prices are carefully in
quired into comparisons are made, and the man
on the selling end must be able to be an efficient
salesman.
It is no longer a case Of merely handing goods
over the counter. IL costs more TO live and buy
ors want TO make every dollar do full duty. Mer-
chants-those in Price included-can no longer
be only storekeepers. They must be business
men as well. And successful business-big and
little-believes in the shortest road from seller
TO buyer Advertising is this road. II awakes
desire. creates demand. and thus sells goods.
Ask any banker and he will say that the mer
chant who Is consistent advertiser in the local
papers naturally will gain more confidence at
the bank than the one who hides his business
candle behind bushel Banks know from ex-
perience that the live merchant nine times out
of ten L. u good advertiser" The use of print.
ers' ink makes him live merchant.
Advertising not only creates confidence and
sells goods, II also makes regulations. Mention
the great successful merchandising firms and
you might add that they are good advertisers.
It's this that built the basis of their reputation.
Good regulations in Price and vicinity can be
built up the same way.
The firm in Price that Is consistent adver-
tiser is gaining a consistent reputation. News
paper publicity pays locally as well as elsewhere.
The Sun Is one means Of spreading publicity.
National advertisers are patronizing It's columns
with results, else The Sun would not be used as
