We are glad to know that Charlie
Meacham resumed the publication OF
the Hopkinsville Kentuckian, sus-
pended last year on account of short
age of help. It is one of the oldest
publications in West Kentucky, and
its absence from our exchange list
has been much regretted. And we re-
joice that the old man is coming
back.-Calloway Times.

FALCONER RETURNS FROM
LAND OF THE CREOLE
independents Advertising Manager
Back From New Orleans COnven-
tiCn Brim Full of New Ad-
yertising Ideas

James r. Falconer, advertising
manager of the Ward County indie
pendent, returned this afternoon from
New Orleans, where he attended the
convention of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World, as one of
the representatives from the Minot
Town Criers Club.
Mr.. Falconer spent five days study
ing the latest advertising methods
and returned full of enthusiasm and
some brand new ideas which he is
expected to work out for the good of
all concerned.
He returns more convinced than
ever Of the value of advertising and
especially newspaper publicity. A
complete report Of his journey will
appear in our next issue.
Mr.. Falconer is glad to be back in
Minot. The weather was unmerci-
lessly hot in the south and the man
without Panama hat and Palm
Beach suit suffered. One from the
north visiting the south at this time
of the year, needs private refriger-
ating plant in his hip pocket, Mr..
Falconer AYERS.
New Orleans is a great convention
city, thirteen big conventions being
scheduled for the month of October.
The south is prosperous but nowhere
did he find buster little city than
our own.
II had heard great deal about the
beautiful Creole women of New Or
leans" he said, ''and l induced nat
i've of that city to point out a few
of their more beautiful specimens for
me. l had expected from reports
to see graceful women, but they are
all positively fat and not at all as
advertised. IN this respect, New Or
leans does not adhere strictly to
truthful advertising.
Mr.. Falconer visited with his wife's
sister, Mrs. Kennedy at Crowley, La,
in the heart of the rice district. Crow
ley is city of 1000 inhabitants, and
is the county seat of Acadia Parish,
the scene of many of the incidents
described in Longfellow's poem, Evan
geline. Thousands of acres Of rice
are raised in that vicinity. The rice
crop is unusually good this year, aver
aging about twenty bags PEI acre,
netting the planters in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 per acre. Mr.. Falconer

this year were S375.O0.00.
Mr.. Falconer visited the Jennin~s
oil field and saw them pumping the

picked cotton and enjoyed trip thru
the sugar cane fields. He. visited cot
ton gins and saw them ginning cot

est. Talcum powder, which is i'm
ported, is used in polishing the rice.
This powder which they call tale
costs them SAP per ton.
Mr.. Falconer met Charles Brewer
in New Orleans, who sends his re-
spects to his many North Dakota
friends. Mr. Brewer for nearly a
quarter Of a century was connected
with the Fargo Forum, in charge of
