CHEAPER CLOTHES, MAYBE

Lawrence, Mass, Aug. 20.-William M. Wood, president of the American Woolen Mills company, is quoted as saying that mems clothing for the spring of 1921 would be cheaper but that the price of wool will not be low CT. Just where the saving is to come in he did not explain; lower wages would be the ideal factor in the minds of some mill owners judging from past performances.

GOOD
ADVERTISING
INDIRECT RESULTS.

Besides having number of direct
results upon the success of a business,
good advertising has also an indirect
influence that is interesting to note.
One of these results Is the creation
of reputation. which Ia turn produces
confidence. The good advertiser be-
comes known wherever his printed
messages go and he acquires a repu-
tation not merely as an advertiser but
as a persistent worker for business.
, And then In time the steady, regular,
periodical appearances of his adver-
tisements create a sense Of perma-
nence and stability and a desire on, the
part of the reader to become more
closely associated with the advertiser.
The continuous appeals to the reader
to "come in and see this'' or 'come In
and try that" soon meet responses and
gradually the reader forms the habit
of going to Mr. Good Advertisers place
of business because he knows there
is always something Of interest there,
BY and by he goes there for the fill.
ing of all his needs In that line and
good advertising has made another
convert.

culture was rapidly deteriorating,
the number of farmers engaged in
filling the soil was decreasing, the
number of acres actually under cul-

Wants His Right, Not a Favor.
After an exhaustive study Of the
needs Of the country and after an
other exhaustive study of the credit
system Of European countries, con-
gress decided to adequately finance
agriculture as great underlying in
dustry essential to the life Of the
nation. Congress did not contem-
,-plate any petty remedies. 1t did not
contemplate charity for the small
farmers. It did not contemplate spe-
clal privilege for the big farmers. But
congress did contemplate establishing
a practical system of rural credits by
which the farmer would be. enabled to
secure as right-not as favOr-ade-
quate funds unreasonable rates. And
congress did this, assuming that the
general welfare demanded that we
look to the future and make provision
for continued food supply for the
nation.
Keeping Country Boy on Farm.
'"The intent Of congress in passing
the federal farm loan act was not to
bring the city boy back to the country,
as some seem to think, because the
congress, having in its membership a
gOodly number of men who sprang
from the farm, was fully aware that 1t
was folly to expect the city man to
succeed in the country. Rather II was
the intent Of congress to keep the
country boy on the farm by making
farming sufficiently profitable to be at
tractlve to an ambitious man Of brains,
energy and vision. mention this be-
cause some people seem to feel
that the millennium will come the
moment we can get the city boy headed
for the farm. Farmers. however, know
better They know that the success
ful. efficient farmer must be made
from the countrT-ralsed boy. And all
know that there will be enough farm
era when farming is made profitable
and country life is made attractive.
Neither can be accomplished unless
adequate farm credit can be had all
thr time anl on reasonable terms"

Why Farmers Need Money.

Cup to the time of the passage of the
farm loan act, the system of farm cred
its in operation in this country was ex-
ceedingly cumbersome. 1t was so cum
berSOme that It could not furnish the
kind Of service the farmer required, at
any price. That is, 1t could not furnish
loans on the long term amortization
plan. Also the entire field of farm
credits was without anything more
than the most primitive (and therefore
fttile) regulation as to rates of inter-

FORMER d.. GIRL
PURCHASES OWN
FLYING MACHINE
Miss Vallie Thorson, Formerly
of This City, Now of Mime
apollo, Has Purchased An
Airplane, and Intends To
Some Day Be The Leading
Girls Flyer in the Northwest

Perhaps one of the most interesting
items of news that has reached the
city of Devils Lake for some time, is
the item concerning Miss Vallie Thor
son, age "a, native citizen of Devils
Lake, who Minnesota claims as n Of
cts own" girls. Miss Vallie, accord
ing to the Minneapolis Sunday Journal
has purchased an aeroplane, and it
goes ON to say that she is the first
girl in the Northwest to own her own
plane. Miss Thorson was rejected
from the aviation department of the
army and decided that if Uncle Sam
would not let her fly for him, she
would fly for herself.
Vallie believes that women can e.
quail men in "stunts" and exhibition
flying, and points to work they have
excelled in where strength is not one
of the chief requirements. She hopes
to be the leading girl flyer in the
Northwest some day.
Miss Thorson is the daughter of
Mrs. Nellie Ihorson, formerly of this
city, having resided for some time on
Third street. In 1912, Miss Thorson
left here for Minneapolis, where she
accepted a position in the General ell
ectrical company assuming complete
charge of the electrical and gas range
department.
It is the hope of her many Devils
Lake friends that Miss Thorson will
make an aerial trip to Devils Lake
and demonstrate some of those aerial
stunts that she believes women can
surpass men in doing.
