TRADE AT HOME"

President Mann, of the North Da-
kota Retail Merchants Association, is
circularizing the members of that or
ganization as follows:
"Dear Brother Merchant
The "Trade at Home" slogan which
the merchants Of the state of North
Dakota are now pushing is a splendid
idea and will do as much to head off
the Mail Order buying as anything I
know Of.
Advertise the fact that you have
goods to sell which are equal to and
better than the goods the Mail Order
Houses advertise and offer for sale.
Do not advertise in a dissultory sort
of spasmodic manner but pound it in
to your prospective customers every
day, every week, and year after year.
To get the best results from adver-
tising you must keep continuously at
it never stop. Quote the facts,
do not give them senseless twaddle,
they get enough Of that now, but
show them, and quote them prices
and stand by those prices backed up
by quality merchandise and the battle
is two-thirds won. The other third,
the principal part of the battle, is
for the merchants themselves to set
the good example, "trade at home" !"
and above all things give the home
newspapers all Of your job work, as
well as the advertising. The main
thing to remember is. to advertise, ad-
vertise, advertise. Facts and figures
Fare the 40 centimetre loads for the
guns to be fired in this game.
Let US become merchants and not
shop-keepers. Let us use modern
business methods and the fight will
be won.".

The Third Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the Third Liber-

April, the anniversary of the declar-
alton Of state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amounts, terms and conditions
of the loan are dependent upon fur
ther legislation and will be announced
as soon as Congress has granted the
necessary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9th of
April as the day to open the cam
paign as the most fitting date to call

ask from the people at home the same
fervent patriotism that actuates our

SERVICE AND
THE LAND PROBLEM
Federal 1etr i Not Avericious
Landlords, m.-. Solve the Hous-
ing Problem In the District Of Co.
lumbia.

"Good Government" is the officis
journal Of the National Civil Servic
Reform League. It is interested pr
marily in civil reform and takes not
IF other questions, only when thei
relation to it's main issue is obvious
So what it has to say Of condition
IN Washington is said, because it
Unavoidable. Here are extracts fror
he January number which add to tn
counts in the indictment against Cor
yress for failure to tax land values j
he District Of Columbia.
It is gratifying to know that
something is being done in an ef-
fort to solve the problem of hous-
ing the thousands of new Gov
eminent employees that drift into
Washington every month. The
lack Of accommodations is retard-
ing the necessary expansion of
some of the departments. 1t is
forcing salaries to ridiculous ex-
tremes. Whether the expedient
of granting $1,000 month to the
District of Columbia Council Of
Defense for it's housing commit
tee is or is not the proper remedy
remains to be seen. Logically, the
problem is Federal one, and
should be handled by the Federal
Government direct. To expect
Washington, the city, to be par
ent to Washington, the capital,
is an absurdity, which can best
be demonstrated by the suppo-
sition that eventually it will be
necessary to erect temporary
structures for the housing Of
Government employees. Would
anybody expect the District to
undertake it?
Another thing you would do
(if you were King) is regulate
the housing of Government en-
ployes in the District Of Colum-
bia. There is ground for the be-
lief that the limit of absorption
has not been reached. There is
some excuse also for reaching
contrary conclusion. There is evil
dence that some Washingtonians
are profteering. There is still
more evidence that almost nobody
knows anything about the pro-
blem at the present time. The
housing of Federal employees at
this time is a Federal problem,
as the League has said. It must
be solved. The Federal Govern
ment is the proper one to solve
it, and the only one that can
solve it.

LIARS BLUFF
The Shafer Record is Offered One
Thousand Dollars for Proof of the
Truth of Its Recent Charges
Against T0wnley.
RECORD A DELIBERATE LIAR.
Cashier Johnson, of the Consumers
Stores, Makes Affidavit That Not
A Single Farmers Note Held by
+ the Company Has Been Sold.

An opportunity to earn $1,000 for
the Red Cross is offered by the farm
ers Of Mckenzie county, North Da-
kota, to certain newspapers that have
made charges questioning the good
faith of the persons behind the Con-
sumers' United Stores Company.
The farmers. Of this county, after
passing resolutions expressing their
confidence in the management Of the
United Stores Company, posted a
check for $1,000 and notified the edi-
tor of the Shafer Record that this
money would be turned over to the
Red Cross the moment that he could
furnish proof of his statement that
$4,000 in farmers store notes had
been sold by Mr.. Townley to the First
National bank of Killdeer for $8,-
OOO." ...
Use Purchasing Power.
The United Stores Company is an
organization by which some of the
farmers. of North Dakota are using
their collective purchasing power to
buy groceries and other goods for
their own use. These goods are to
be distributed by means of stores To-
Gated at convenient points for the
members Of the organization.
Because the United Stores Company
was originated and is being managed
by men connected with the Nonparti-
san league, the newspapers that have
been fighting the league have at
tackled this enterprise, charging lack
Of good faith and downright dishon-
esty on the part of the officers of the
league. This, notwithstanding that
the United Stores Company is an or
ganizations separate and distinct from
the league.
Given Wide Publicity.
These stories, evidently printed for
the purpose of discrediting the league
in other states, were given wide pub
Lefty in Minnesota and other states.
This campaign against the farmers
stores eliminated in an article in the
Shafer Record which made the specific,
charges mentioned above. They were
reprinted in the Grand Forks Her
aid, the Fargo Forum and other pa
pers that had been fighting the league
since its inception and were running
low on material with which to attack
the farmers organization.
The statement was promptly chal-
lenged by farmers of Mckenzie coun-
ty where one Of these stores is To-
Gated. They back their challenge with
the certified check for $1,000. They
recited in their resolutions the worth
mess Of the Red Cross and invited the
offending editor to prove his state
ments and help the war work.
Cashier Denies Report.
The farmers were safe in making
this offer. They had statement from
e. E.. Kurtz, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank of Killdeer, who said that
his bank had bought no notes of the
Consumers United Stores Company,
or Of it's officers or from Mr.. Town
ley. Additional proof was before
them in the form of an affidavit from
w. G. johnson, cashier of the Con-
sumers United Stores Company,
which declared that not single farm
er's note held by the company had
been sold to anyone.
