Advertising is a worthy, seri-
Gus, and dignified art. 1t is the
normal self-expression of any
business which depends upon
public patronage for its success.
1t is the characterization of
business.
Consequently all squeaking
impudence, all shrieking
self-laudation, anything that is
vulgar, loud, and offensive is not
only poor advertising, but tends
to lower and destroy advertising
as an established art. useful to
the general commons.
There are two theories: One
is that advertisements should be
intruded into places where they
are not looked for. and thus
chock people into attention; the
other is that an advertisement is
a kind Of reading matter that is
interesting in itself, that people
like to read it, and that it should
appear as 4 rule in those places
where it is expected,
The first theory brings adver-
tising into disrepute: the second
makes of it a reputable business.
1t is impudent advertising

NEGOTIATING FOR
LOCAL TELEPHONE
Proposition Put up to North.
western Telephone Co. for
Exchange in AskOv.

Askov is more anxious than
ever before to have local tele-
phone exchange installed this
year and has therefor COM
menced negotiations with the
Northwestern Telephone Co. F.
f. Lister of Duluth. representa-
tive of the Duluth district Of
that company, which embraces
Askov, was here Tuesday to look
over the field and ascertain the
number Of phones which would
be installed.
The people Of this community
have been anxious to have .
local exchange here the past sew
eral years. but somehow it seems
to have repeatedly fallen thru.
Two years ago the Tri-State Tel
ephone Co. promised to put in
an exchange If 100 phones were
promised within . radius of five
miles. This. number was easily
met, there being at that time
about 125 who signed up. But
then came the war and every
thing going into the makeup of
a telephone system went way up
in price and the Tri-State was
obliged to give it UP.
In going over the situation
with local men. Tuesday, Mr.. Lis
ter found that there would Be
approximately 100 phones with
in a radius of one mile. which
is something unusual for a small
village of this size. 1t was esti-
mated that there would be 40
business phones. Within the s.
mile limit there should easily be
$50 phones now.
| L. c. Petersen, Carl Miller and
III. Petersen called at the head
quarters Of the company in Min
neapolis last Friday and put the
proposition before them, but.
they were instructed that an
Askov exchange would come un-
der the supervision Of the Du-
Iluth district, hence Mr.. Listers
|call here Tuesday. At the head
quarters in Minneapolis they.
appeared to be rather reluctant
about installing country ex-
changes, arguing that many of
their small town exchanges are
now a losing proposition and
that they would like to sell them
lif they could. However the ar
Igument was put up that Askov
has one OF the most compact set
elements in northern Minnesota.
lbeing mostly all small farms
with many settlers on small
area. In fact the first mile RAJ
dius is almost like a village. Up
lon investigation Mr.. Lister found
this to be true. and as above
stated there would be approxi-i
mately 100 phones within the \
imilc limit if the exchange was
Installed. He further added that.
the proposition looked favorable
to him and that he surely would
not throw any cold water on It.
| All telephones being under gov
lernment supervision now. the
final word is with the post-ofice
department at Washington.
/ II an exchange is put in here
this year it should be completed
lby the first Of September il or
der to take care of the fall rush
Of produce shipping. This ii

farmers will derive most benefit

paper. 1t amounts to the same
as having Mr.. Jones. at a dinner
party at the country club, con-
verse in a loud tone of the
superiority of the underwear he
sells over that offered in Smiths
store. 1t is not pleasant. and in
cidentally it does no good.
Billboards along the street or
the country highway are samples
of impudent advertising. They
destroy the beauty of the city
and of the countryside. 1t is
painful for people who are out
for rest and enjoyment and have
an inalienable right not to be
solicited in their hour of recrea-
ton. 1t is a lowering of the
standing of business, which is
honorable to any man. 1t is like
a peddler crying his wares at
church, or woman who would
pass out cards of her husbands S
drug store at the Presidents re-
ception.
The whole display of flamboy-
ant electricity on the Great
White Way is vulgar. 1t goes on
lin unabated rivalry till the
street is light as day with ap-
Ipeals to use this kind of tires
and thread and corsets, or that
kind Of beer and baked beans.
| 1t all goes to help along that
Ilibelous opinion that Americans
are money-mad and ready to
smirch their city's beauty with
their struggle for trade.
Probably each advertiser com.
mits this crime because the
others do, and if all were pro.
Inhibited all would be glad, and all
would make quite as much
money in the end.
1 The public is a gentle, long
suffering animal, and against the
eagerness of statesmen has little
|protection. But there is NO
doubt that a cry of relief would
go up from the bedeviled mil
lions if the City and State would
abolish the billboard and compel
advertisers to put their signs in
certain places reserved for them.
Advertisements in that space
lin magazines and newspapers re-
served for them are not unpleas-
ant to read. are sought and en-
ioyed by readers, and come much
nearer achieving their purpose
than those thrust upon the
notice of people who are trying
to eat, to take ride. to read a
story, or to say their prayers.

Feeding and Cows.

A. j. Mcclure.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1919-02-06

farmers present worked out
very satisfactory rations that
will make their common stock
produce from 20 to 40 per cent
more than they are doing. In
one community wild hay was the
most abundant feed available, so
their ration used this as a basis.
But they included enough roots
and oats and barley so that with
a little oil meal they would have
the following for the average
COW:
For 23O days, per day-18 lbs.
wild hay, 20 lbs. roots, II lbs.
barley, II lbs. oats, ID. oil meal.
This is a lot better than most
of their cows are getting, is all
produced on their farms except
oil meal, and by multiplying
this out by the number of cows
in. their herd they get the total
needed next fall. Then it is
simple to divide by their aver
age yield per acre to determine
how many acres Of each they
should plant this spring.
Lots of Pine County cows will
consume more than this. some
farms produce silage instead Of
roots ard some have clover hay.
So a little more grain and better
hay will fit those requirements
and better cows.
However, it is very necessary
to do this planning before spring
seeding. At these community
schools the county agent will
help any group of farmers who
send in for help. Several are al
ready scheduled in Royalton and
Chengwatana and the southern
part of the county.
