BELIEVED CITY ATTRACTION
WILL SOON WEAR OFF
(By United Press.

st. Paul March 15.--United States
employment service officials believe
the attraction Of "city life" for re-
turned soldiers and sailors who, bS-
fore the war, were farmers will wear
off shortly.
During the winter months few men
from the service applied for or &C.
cepted farm work. With the prospect
OF an early spring interest in farm
work is "picking up" officials said.
It Is believed scores Of men. service
men, who sought city Jobs upon their
return will 20 to the country where
hundreds OF offers await them.
Just now, however, there still are
more than two score applications on
file from farmers who are willing to
pay good money and house an ex-
perienced farm hand and his family.

HEARS ADVERTISING
TALK BY MANAGER

The students Of the Business Coli

by E. H. Denu, business MANAGER Of
the Bemidji Pioneer, on the subject
Of "Advertis1ng," Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Denu is an exceptionally pleasing
speaker and he presented his subject
forcefully.
Advertising" says Mr.. Denu, "is
not merely inserting a notice in your
local paper. 1t is telling the story Of
your business to the public in an in
teresting and instructive manner.
A display in publication does not
always constitute advertising. It
must be well written and it must be
supplemented by the tone 'of your
business. Courteous, tactful and ef-
ficient employees add much to the
good advertising Of an institution"
