Cooperative Thrift
and Surface Car
Advertising
The KEEN retail merchants will
be the first to recognize that many
things cannot be done "as usual during
war time
Many savings in store methods,
many changes in service policies, all for
the benefit of the ultimate consumer,
will have to be effected. To bring these
policies about it will be necessary for
the merchants to work together and to
take the public into their confidence.
If each merchant tries to carry out
the above policies through his usual ad-
vertlslng in a separate way, there is sure
to be waste and lack of unity.
Only by combining their efforts and
by using an advertising medium that
lends itself to persistent twenty-four
hours day cooperative merchandising
can the maximum of results be secured.
The surface car-cards of New York
is such medium and has the added ad
vantage of reaching more women per
day at the least cost per thousand and
OF delivering the final message to everv
shopper before she gets off the car and
goes into the store to make her purchase.
Wehave an experienced staff of mer-
chandlslng experts whose knowledee
is at the disposal of retail merchants

In the HubbaM County Journal,
published at Park Rapids, issue of
Januaryy3, appears a story of the ar
rest of James Gray, who represents
himself as a travelling evangelist, for
alleged seditious utterances while
calling at home.
According to the article, the lady
at whose home Gray called, has a son
about to join the colors and Gray,
so it is alleged, advised her not to
allow her son to enlist, stating that
Germany. had practically won the
war and that 1--WE would better off
if Germany did win'' Fl
The lady imm ediately notified the
chairman of the Public Safety COM
mission and Gray's arrest soon fol-
lowed
Gray is quite we'll known to many
in Bemidji. He has made frequent
visits here, but few seem to know
just what his. real business was. 1t
is said he is of Scotch descent.

writing to the Presbyterian Sunday
school from France, expresses him.
self as follows:
"The box of goodies from the Sum
day school was received and to say I
was pleased to be so remembered ex-
presses it mildly. The fruit cake
was especially fine. We always di-
vide up the contents of our gift
packages in our squad and this one
lasted over night. All the articles
arrived in good condition.
"There are a number of Bemidji
lads in our company. This makes
it fine as we can get nearer home
in talk at least. In our cutting gang
there are two from Minnesota and
two from Wisconsin and we have
great arguments about the advan-
tages of the two states.
"We can hear cathedral chimes
before dawn each morning but Of
course there are no churches for the
most of us to attend. 1t is a great
satisfaction to us to know that we
are doing our bit to make the world
a better place to live in. Give my re-
CARDS to all the members of the
church.

POST OFFICE WINDOWS
OPEN DURING NOON

For long time there has been
heard a great deal of grumbling and
criticism over the closing of the post
office windows during the noon hour
when the rush of patrons has always
been heavy, and Postmaster Richie
is going to try to remedy this by
keeping the windows open, chang
ing the noon hour for the employees
to another schedule.
Noon is the. only time employees
and many others have during the day
to transact business at the postoffice
and with the windows closed 1t has
been decidedly inconvenient.
The government allows its en-
ployes the eight-hour day and stip-
ulates that the hours must be work.

period.
