Realizing 100 Y Efficiency
From Rent, Wages
and Light Bills

Every merchant will claim that he meets
these requirements.
If he advertises he can better afford sucn
cOncessions-that make for bigger business,
always
Secure in the possession of these impera-
tive requisites, he can convert the waste
energies of his store into multiplied profits.
He can be among the best known merchants
in the city-can attract discriminating men
and women to his store from every section
if, he advertises judicously.
To begin with, he can advertise in the
Press every other day. When his returns
warrant the spending of more money he
can go in every day.
Let him see that his name is printed con-
spicuously at the top or bottom of each ad-
vertisement and then let him present, clearly
and cOncisely, one or two items Of merchan-
disc, each at a price that means value in
addition to style and quality.
The public will respond in paying prOpor-
tions and the rest depends upon his merchan
disc and his store-keeping
Even if he tried he could not easily pre-
vent those who come to him through adver-
tiSing from purchasing other merchandise
than that which he has advertised. He would
be doing advertising an injustice if he did
not make an effort to supply each customer
with everything required.
And then-When the day is dOne--he can
figure his profit on the aggregate sales III
stead of expecting to make all of his money
out of advertised goods. This is the method
em"loved by all big retail advertisers.
It'isn't a question of how can the retail
store-keeper afford to advertise. The real
question is:
HOV Can He A fOrd Not to AdUertise?
4 Especially in Ell Centre, where the Press
! affords introduction to an audience whose
purchasing power and responsiveness ara
unrivaled by that of any other newspaper
n In appreciation of this fact, the keenest,
most successful advertisers of today use
Press space-and thus increase their pat
ronage, add to their prestige and multiply
heir profits
Among Press readers are the customers
'ou already have-aso the customers uou
should hare. "A paying audience and the
Stage is set for yOu-noC w

TRIBUTE TO SCHOOLS.

1t would seem that the great truths of natu :
are released into the keeping of man for his re

self to receive them.
Education is the cornerstone of democracy
Without education democracy cannot endure
The little red schoohouSe" has been the prime
influence in the life of the great republic. 1t was
never more potent in the affairs of mankind than
it is today. 1t is the preparation place for the
blessings of truth. AutOcracy cannot exist IN
the light. Education is the deadly foe of the
Bolshevik, of the |. w. W., of anarchy what
ever its garb or title. A citizenship of the little
red schoohouse has eavened the world and ut
last has led all people to the borderland of free
dom. Even the people of Russia of Austria,
of Turkey, of Bulgaria, of all the desolated and
darkened countries of today install and encour-
age education, so will they measure up or fall
in their strivings for the blessings of liberty.
Religious bigotry cannot live where the little
red schoolhouse is supreme. Who shall say t
has not been the influence of education which
at last is banishing alcohol from the United
States. and in the end will Danish it from the
world? 1t is the foe of effeminacy and the in
spration of red-blOoded manhood 1t dissolves
he mirage of ignorance and prejudice by bring
ing men and women face to face with eternal
ruth.
In twenty years the little red schoolhouse
has transformed the Philippines from the dark
,st of countries to one which is as shining light
o other nations of the earth 1t is the ideal fac
ory of America. The nations of the world just
freed are calling for it.

The attention Of the. public is called
to the rule regarding want ads.
The office cannot afford to make a
book account of these small ads. It
would cost more to employ a man to
collect these bills than the money de-
rived from them would come to-. We
must insist that all want ads. must be
paid for in advance unless the party
phoning them in runs a regular ac-
count at this Office. Last week sew

Summer designed
To Benefit Teachers

The summer term at the State Nor
NAL school will open on Wednesday,
June &c, and close on Tuesday, Au-
gust 6, according to an announcement
made in special bulletin to be re-
leased in few days. These dates have
been arranged to allow for one day of
vacation between the close of the sum
mer session and the state teachers
examination which will be conducted
at the various county seats on the 9th
and 9th of August, according to law.
Those who attend the summer school
may take the teachers examinations
in Barnes county, but the one-day va
cation will give opportunity for those
who desire to do so to return to the
home county. -,
-, eve must have more teachers,
is the call that comes from every
section of the country. The nor
NAL schools are created to serve
the state by supplying well-train-
ed teachers, but they will not be
able to do so unless young men
and young women present them
selves at these schools for train
ing. At this time, those avail
able for teaching can render no
higher service. In every respect
it is a patriotic service, and the
Normal school at Valley City
urges everyone who can at all see
his or her way to do so, to pre-
pare for teaching. Young people
just from the high school will do
we'll to consiler the teaching pre-
fession. Teachers of former days
might profitably return to teach
ing and thus render public SER
vice. Women, whose husbands
are in the battlefields of Europe,
with few weeks training might
become successful and useful
teachers. This summer term Of
fers exceptional opportunity to
all such to get ready for teach
ing.
"The summer session at the State
Normal school is designed to help
teachers now in the field by permitting
them to take subjects leading to the
Normal school diploma, at the same
time offering helpful review for those
who must take teachers examination.
Graduates of elementary courses in
normal schols cannot afford to neg
lect study with view to an advanced
diploma. Under new ruling of the
state board of education, diplomas
from these courses can only be re-
newed once. The state administration
is advancing 1.-THE requirements for
teaching all along the line. The min
imum for teaching in the grades Of
North Dakota will soon be a diploma
from two-year course of good nor
NAL school.
"Students now enrolled may re-
main for the summer term to carry
additional work in which they may be
interested, or to tighten their work
of the regular term. Practically ev-
cry course offered in a regular term
will be offered during the summer.
