ADVERTISING IS
URGED IN FIGHT
FRED p. MANN ADDRESSES EN-
THUSIASTIC MEETING AT MIN
NEAPOLIS OF AID FORUM

Fred p. Mann of Devils Lake, N. D.,
retailer, advertiser and believer in a
big and prosperous northwest, last
night stirred the imaginations of
members of the Minneapolis Adver-
tising Forum by his visions of what
can be done in the field of retail mer-
chandising in the northwest through
a campaign of community develop
ment in the small towns and whole
saler-to-consumer advertising as a
means of combating the mail order
business which, Mr.. Mann said, is
annually taking out of the state, Of
North Dakota alone from $4,000, 900
to $12,OOO,0OO.
Mr.. Mann, who is owner Of one of
the most thriving mercantile estab-
lishments in North Dakota, is one of
the originators and promoters of the
Federated Community Development
association of North Dakota, which
is supported by all branches Of busi-
ness in the state and which derives
considerable support from trade or
ganizations in Minneapolis, St. Paul,
and Duluth.

ner of lyceum bureau, sending out
business men of the state as lectur-
ers in company which troupes of
muscial and dramatic artists who ap-
pear with the lecturers in two-day
programs in each town, is attracting
nationwide attention in merchandise
ing circles. Mr.. Mann is at present
speaking widely before trade organ
izations and conventions in various
states and also in Canada, explaining
the workings Of the association and
its ultimate aims.
At the request of Minneapolis ad-
vertising men, Mr.. Mann last night
consented to deliver a talk on his
community development plan before
the Better Business convention of the
Ninth Reserve district, to be held in
Minneapolis March 19 to 26.
Mr.. Mann said that fully 80 per
cent of the small town merchants in
the northwest do not advertise and
that no program of constructive. ad-
vertising direct to the consumer has
yet been undertaken by any manu-
facturer or jobber in the country. He
declared that unless jobbers and man.
ufacturers would get together and de-
velop some plan to assist the small
retail merchants in the disposal of
their goods thru direct-to the-con-
sumer advertising, all small town
merchants in the northwest would be
forced out Of business by the grow
ing encroachments of the mail or
der business.-Minneapolis Tribune.

TALKS
GIVEN At PROGRAMS
TWO SPEAKERS HERE FOR PRO.
GRAMS.-MERCHANTS DO GOOD
BUSINESS

Monday and Tuesday of this week
were community days in Williston
and the programs that were given at
the Armory we're fairly we'll attend
ed. On the first day of the program
Alex Karr of jamestown gave a very
interesting talk on Opportunity and
much good was obtained from his
talk. He dwelt great deal on the
trade at home idea and the co-opera-
tive idea in the community. His talk
was preceded by musical program
by the Victory Girls Quartet.
Music Program Light
The class of music rendered by the
Victory Quartet was of very light
nature, being mostly popular songs
which have long ago grown old to the
people of Williston. The girls play
ed varied collection of musical in
struments and they impressed us very
much as "Jacks of all Trades and
masters of none." In an interview
with Alex karr he stated, "the pro-
grams are going over big through
the state and especially in the small
er towns but in towns and cities the
size of Williston we are having some.
difficulty due to the fact that the peo-
pie in these cities are too metropoli-
tan" We heartily agree with him
on this statement and while the lee
lures with these programs are ex-
cellent they must have, in order to
make success with them, stronger
musical talent for the larger towns,
and cities.
H. NJ. Clark Talks
On Tuesday afternoon and even
ing H. M. Clark, successful hardware
merchant of Lake Field, Minn., gave
very interesting and instructive
talk on what has been accomplished
in his community with a community
club and community house. We
outlined fully the plan followed in
his town in the perfecting of their
organization and what they hoped
would be accomplished elsewhere with.
similar organizations. There was not
a very large crowd at the meeting
on Tuesday evening and we were sor-
ry that more of the merchants of the.
city could not have heard this talk.
Good Business Reported
During the two community days
the Williston stores offered special
bargains in all departments and the
people took advantage of them is.
evident by the fact that the majority
of the merchants reported q very
good business for these days. This
goes to show what little co-opera-
tion along the line of advertising will
do for the local merchants and we
are in hopes that they will continue
the good work they have started.
The next Community Program
comes sometime the first of next
month and it is hoped that more peo-
pie will attend the coming program
and give them their support.

Guilty Huns May
Have To Face Trial

Paris, March 1O.-The preliminary
peace treaty, it was learned today,
probably will include clause re-
quiring Germany to turn over all Off
cials found responsible for war
crimes charged against him. A sug-
gestion has been made, however, that
the Germans themselves will try to
obtain his removal from Holland. If
there is no other. alternative, it is un-
derstood an international Indictment
will be published, branding Wilhelm
as the worlds greatest criminal, his
punishment being limited to this his
torical document.

Good Roads Like This Bring Farmer
 Nearer to City Markets.

What are the things to be considered in locating the road? What grade" should be maintained? How should the road be drained? What are the laws governing highway construction? There are q few questions answered In extension circular 6S dealing with country roads.
 Matters of prime consideration in locating road are: Easy grades, good drainage, exposure to sunshine, elimination of culverts and bridges by avoiding unnecessary creek crossings, directnesS and the number of farms to be served for given length of road Whenever possible to avoid 1t, a good location should not be rejected merely because a certain roadway has been In use for some time. If the location of a used road is bad 1t should be changed if possible. In relocating roads avoid railroad crossings at grades.
 The grade of the road is important for on this depends the weight of the load which can be hauled economically. By grade is meant the rise or fall in feet for each 100 feet in horizontal length of road, usually expressed in percentage. A per cent grade means that the road rises or falls feet each 100 feet along Its center line, It has been calculated that on smooth coun- try road the load that one horse could pull on level would require two on 5 per cent grade, three on 10 per cent grade and four on a 15 per cent grade. Engineers usually figure 6 per cent grade as maximum.
 Road work in Missouri has not been as well managed as other public work. Projects have been toe narrowly Him. tied to localities, resulting in fraa- mentary effort. Skilled locating and supervision of construction have been generally lacking The remedies are; First, q wider cooperation and the adoption of bread schemes of improve rneht. preferably with units no smaller than counties. Second, the absolute elimination of political considerations in the spending of money. Third, se= eBriag good engineering advice in the preparatioa af plans and requiring careful engineering supervision ef ean= struction.

 In addition to this the Y. M c. A. has distributed 1,200 sets of boxing gloves in the Third army and Is co operating with the army officials ia the A. E. F. championship contests.

PAINT PROTECTION
 AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma terials, which may be obtained through the application of paint, constitutes a most vital means of furthcring the con seryatiOn of our natural resources. It is, moreover, the most economical method of sustaining the appearance and general upkeep of any commu- n;ty.
 A structure coated with sheets of h. dia rubber would not be as well protect ed from decay as a structure coated with q good oil paint. This Is due to the fact that sheet of rubber is not so durable or as waterproof as a thin dried film of paint. The latter mate rial when applied dries to a continuous elastic film containing finely divided particles of metallic, wear resisting pigments. A square foot of such q film upon a wooden surface costs less than a penny, yet it will beautify and protect a dollars worth of surface for many years. This is 2 low rate of in- surance,
 Dwellings, barns, eutbuiidings, sheds, posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagnns, implements, windmiflS and other struc- lures, whether of wood, iron or cement, should be preserved, through the use of paint, from rapid decay. High grade paint may be used successfully for All such purposes. Colored paints will be found the most seviceable, the coloring matter ip the paint adding from two t0 three years to the life of the ceatipg.

Good roads promote self-respect in a community. They make possible social intercourse. They bring the benefits of churches and schools with in the reach of all They help to keep the boys on the farm. They cheapen the cost of transportation of farm products to the markets and thus add to the farm profits. They add to the value of farm lands much more than they cost. They mark the degree ol civilization of the rural community. This, in short, is the value of good roads as seen by the extension service of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture.

The congressional report of 1914 placed the economic loss of the United States through poor roads at an an- nual figure of $504,000000 for trans Dortation costs alone. The heavy increase in tonnage since that time probably makes the loss today close to $1.O00,000,OO0.

WEEKS REVIEW

NEW YORK, July 12.-Greater in dustrial and mercantile activity, a sharp advance in call loans to quota tions approximating the years highest rates, the more adverse movement of exchange against London and Paris and the presidents delivery of the peace treaty to the senate, were the outstanding factors of another busy week in the stock market
 Expansion of general trade and fin. ished products was most clearly shown in enlarged bank clearings, the sub stantial gain in thrilled orders re- ported by the United States Steel cor poration and the widespread demand for leading commodities, as indicated by the rise in metals, refined copper being quoted at 21 cents a pound
 Weakness of sterling and francs, the former receding to lowest levels in almost five years, was without effect upon market values, but among inter- national bankers this movement em- phasiZed the need for early completion of the plan to effect Europe's finan- cial rehabilitation.
 The presidents address to the sen ate was made the occasion of a bear attack, but prices rallied easily in the various issues which have been the special objects of speculative atten. tion for the past four months
 From the view point of the investor the most disappointing feature was the further backwardness of high grade rails and the failure of the tond market to reflect more than a moderate mid-year inquiry. This was accounted for in part, however, by new corporate financing, which absorbed much of the floating supply of new capital.
 Latest official advices show a down. ward revision of estimates for some of the principal crops, especially wheat, but the prospective yield, even allowing for additional deterioration, promises to exceed by fully 100, ,OOO 900 bushels the high record of four years ago.
