Why Will the country merchant al
low goods TO occupy valuable shelf ant
counter space in his store, when tn,
proper use of printers ink would move
them into his customers hands, make
room for fresh stock and give him
cas- with which to buy more goods?
The publisher of the country news
paper, where this condition exists,
should jump intothe ring with both
feet and say to the storekeepers in his
town: Gentlemen, you are not buying
enough advertising space in your
home town paper. Mail order houses
are selling goods right under your
nose to customers who should be
yours. City department stores take
half page in your paper, drawing
to the big town from a ter
ritory you are in many respects better
able TO serve. Get busy now with
some copy, order few timely cuts
illustrating articles listed for special
sales or goods that will attract notice
because of their utility, low price or
novelty. Beat the mail order house at
their own game"
Thus the weekly paper in addition
10 its usefulness as a chronicler of
news, becomes a real help to the bust
ness man of the community and one
hat he will be quick to appreciate as
soon as the increased sales prove the
wisdom of his new venture into the
ocal advertising field.

ROBBINS MAKES
Hit. AS STARTER

The first harness events at the
Interstate fair Tuesday proved a big
success due in a great part to the
work OF the official starter, w. c.
Robbins, one of the best track men
in the country.
Lovers OF the "hawses" and there
are many OF them in North Dakota
and Minnesota recognized Robbins
at once when he took his position in
the judges stand shortly before 2
o'clock yesterday. He was the some
Robbins seen here in 1915 and 1915.
Devotees Of speed at the Fargo
expositions have never found any
fault with any Of his decisions, and
despite the stringent rules
which the drivers are forced to abide
by not one argument has arisen over
the getaway which is itself some
unusual.
One warning to a driver who fails
to recognize the position OF the pole,
appears to be ali that is necessary,
lessening the scoring and putting
snap and excitement into the events.
Mr.. Robbins is officiating at the
races this week for the third year
and his work this season, according
to the compliments from the fans
yesterday, is even better than the
record he established for himself at
the two previous fairs. II is very
probable that the North Dakota
State fair management will always
book the services of Mr.. Robbins IL
they can be procured.
