IT PAYS
LET THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT
YOU HAVE TO SELL-AD.
VERTISE YOUR GOODS.

The man who tries to do business
without advertising is overlooking a
bet. Sure, the people know you are
in business. They also know that
Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Mont
gomery, Ward & Co. are in business
at Chicago. And they also know that
these firms are flooding the mails with
advertising that wouldn't be worth
two shakes of a lambs tail if the
home merchant used the best adver-
Using medium in the world-the local
newspaper, and told the buyer what
he had to sell.
+ AS long as the merchants let these
mail order firms rnonopolize the ad-
vertising privileges, just so long will
the mail order firms get the business
that the merchant should have.
Business doesn't come begging a
merchant to take it. It is just the
other way round. And in the next
few years this fact is going to become
very much in evidence to the man
who 'lets George do -it."-Star
Gazette Moose Lake.
A real live firm has taken pos
session of the merchandising field
at Two Harbors and the results are
noticeable. This firm has a full
page in every issue of the Journal
in which they state things to the
buying public and are getting the
business. Where before that, every
citizen of that cityweekly, sometimes
daily possessed himself Of a pass
and nickel and went to Duluth to
do trading, the money is now in a
large measure spent with the home
advertising merchant and the benefit
to the city is being keenly felt. To
counterfeit the effects of the mail
order house advertising, we noticed
page ad in the Journal week ago
which explains itself and reads: "Fill
out your order for Sears, Roebuck &
Co., Montgomery Ward & Co., or any
other mail order house which you
choose. Together with your check
or money order bring it to US. We
will guarantee to fill your order and
save you freight and drayage. We
will not charge you one cent more
and give you the privilege of exam
ming your goods before you pay for
them. We will deliver the goods
without any cost. Think this over
and let it sink in. Are we not justly
entitled to your business? Our cred
it department welcomes you as usual.
Does Sears, Roebuck's?"

mocker of all the worthy

cried, Lets pave the village,
and make Our streets as slick as
wax," | said, THAT'S but a form
of pillage, scheme to raise the

plans of local boosters, and
found in blocking them much
bliss, and crowed like fifty
seven roosters, when schemes
progressive went amiss. l
found myself SO doggone lonely
it broke my heart and made me
sad; l said, I'D give my wad if
only l had some friends in this

my palace, save when some
gents. of sterling worth came
round and asked, in seeming
malice, what / would take to
jump the earth. "This town

my callers said, upon a day,
until our skilled, urbane NOR
tician has come and carted you

and to obtain them I ceased to
knock and learned to boost; it
was the proper way to gain
them, and now they flock around
my roost. l put away my little
hammer, it hangs, all dusty, on
the wall; and when the village
boosters clamor, my voice is
loudest of them all.

PETW0RTH ASKS ANNEX
OF IL ROOMS TO SCHOOL
Citizens Association Receives
Eleven New Members, Raising
Membership to $50.

A twelve-room addition to the pres
emit Petworth School building was
asked in a resolution adopted by
the Fetworth Citizens Association at
its meeting last night. most of the

cussion of the needs of the public
school in that neighborhood.
In 1915 and 1917 Congress made

enough for such an addition at the
present prices of labor and materials.

man of the schools committee. read
a history of the Petworth schools
and steps that had been taken TO i'm
prove them. More than 100 Petworth
pupils are now attending the Park
View school because of lack of ac-
commodations in Petworth.
After some discussion action on
resolutions relating to the direct
election of members of the school
hoard and to the need for anti-profi-
teering legislation in the District of
Columbia was postponed until the
June meeting, Eleven new members
We're received, making a total mem

NO Beer, No Work Strike
Decision Due Tonight

Reports on the likelihood of "No
Beer, No Work. strike in New York
City by several hundred thousand
members of trade unions, will prob
ably be made at the meeting tonight
of the Central Federated Union which
sent out the referendum.
The unions were given two weeks IN
which to register their disapproval of
the prohibition amendment by voting
for general strike and the names of
those unions which have decided upon
action will be made known.
Since the first outburst of displcas-
ure in union ranks over the amend
ment, Ernest Bohm, secretary of the
Central Federated Union, announced
that legislation permitting the manu-
facture and sale of beer and light
wines would dispose of labor's objcc
| tons.
As such legislation has been pro
posed at Albany there is good pros
pect, in the opinion of local labor lead
crs, tina even if a general strike i.
voted for. it may not be necessary fol
| the men to go out.
The original "No Beer, No Work
strike proposal provided for a com
plete cessation of work on the part o
union members until bone dry probib
ton was so modified as to permit tn
manufacture and sale of light wine
