TWO TRAINED RAMS
LURE WHOLE BANDS
TO SLAUGHTER PEN

"Mike" and "Jim" are the Judas
Iscariots Of the stockyards and if there
is any reward hereafter for murder
Gus treachery, this pair of goats will
sizzle through all eternity and still be
in debt, says Chicago press dispatch.
The pair Of trained rams, who are
murderers at heart and are petted and
live a life of luxury, seem to enjoy
their hideous calling-that of Turing
unsuspecting and bewildered country
sheep and lambs to the slaughter.
Hogs and cattle may be driven to
the death post, but sheep must be led.
Every time bunch of sheep are to
start for the shackling pen, the Judas
Iscariots are trotted out. They meet
the herd, assure the strangers that
everything is all right and then lead
their victims over the "bridge of
sighs."
As soon as one flock is escorted to
the pens, the official lurers trot back
for another. They are as expert as
the best confidence man that ever met
a country yap and skinned him of all
his belongings. This pair of rams
has led many hundred of thousands of
sheep to death and they apparently
enjoy their gruesome calling.

GOOD PUBLICITY
MADE AUTO SHOW
VERY SUCCESSFUL

Another substantial proof of the
value of advertising as a stimulant to
business and social affairs, has reach
ed the Courier from the Williston COM
mercial club, which organization, in
a recent letter states that the auto
mobile show recently held in that city,
and which was widely advertised in
this and other Montana and North
Dakota newspapers, was tremen-
dous success.
Hundreds of people of western
North Dakota and eastern Montana
filled Williston during Automobile
Show week." writes the secretary
of the Williston commercial club. He
says further that "every hotel in the
city was thronged from cellar to gar
ret, hostelries placed cots in their
parlors and many residents of the city
opened their homes to accommodate
the visitors"
The unusual success of this mid

to give credit where credit is due.
at cannot be disputed that the liber-
al and carefully planned advertising
campaign was what filled Williston
with people during show week." re-
marked one of them.
The commercial club secretary OF
Williston in a letter to the editor OF
the Courier stated that in his opinion,
everybody that visited the show had a
good time, and that they will all well
come a chance to visit the "City of
Opportunity" the very next time a
big public event is held.
eve believed at the outset" he
writes, "that we were going to have
a good show and that the people who
came to see it would get their mon
ey's worth. We obtained the best pro-
gram that was possible to get, and
then we advertised to the limit. The
rest was easy. Our greatest difficult
ty was to accommodate the great
crowd that did come to see the show
What advertising did toward MAX
ing the Williston Automobile Show
a success is being repeated all over
America today. Advertising of
proper sort, backed by bona fide
goods or attractions, is the greatest
force in business today. And, re-
member this, when you buy space in
the newspaper, prepare good copy.
Every newspaper is full of common
place ads. The readers pass over
them. But a good ad gets peoples
attention. Study your advertising
problems, get on the right track and
then go the limit. The only advantage
big business has over you is their
advertising, and you can buy all you
want of that right here at home from
your local editor.

GOOD BOOKS AT
ALL CROSSROADS.
American Library Association
Urges Adoption Of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL,
California, the Pioneer-Other
States Adopting the
Plan.

The American Library Association
in announcing it's Books for Every.
body" movement, which is to be nation
wide in its scope, advises and urges the
extension Of the county library system
as solution of the problem Of supply
,, ing good literature 10 the rural dis
tricts. Its intention is to persist in
advocating the nationwide adoption
of the idea as successfully applied in
California, Ohio and Maryland, until
every one Of the 1894 counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments Of good books are
being made from the central point in
the county to the designated outposts.
California stands out as the highpoiDt
in the successful application of the
idea. OF the So counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system at a trifling cost. This it urges
as part of Its enlarged program which
aims to promote better citizenship
and to combat the social and Industrial
unrest through the teaching of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs Of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside Of
the big cities will be called to the at
tention Of those in a position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of a library
building and the stocking of its Shelves
In many cases the tools already exist
From this central station books will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
tions. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tOllgates, post Of
fees, schoolhouses and private homes.
When one shipment has been circulat-
ed and returned another will be sent
out. Also, in communities Of any size
in the county, branch libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with it's 1000 active librarian mem
bers and it's 40 years Of practical func-
tioning, is in a position to know the
needs Of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge is a force to be
reckOned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of 100000. There will
be no drive or intensive campaign
The money will be raised by the libra
rians, library trustees and friends of
libraries. The movement for better
citizens and a well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"

HOME SERVICE NEWS.

Former service men, holders of Un-
Gle Sans war risk insurance, have
received from the bureau of war risk
insurance, an identification card bear
ing their name and insurance number,
for ready reference, such as they car
ried while in the service, states Di-
rector r. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the
bureau.
This card will enable the men to give
their correct insurance number when
communicating with the bureau of
war risk insurance, and also serves
for identification in case of sickness
or accident.
Many of these cards are being re-
turned to the bureau by former SER
vice men instead of being retained.
The director requests all former SER
vice men who received these identi-
fication cards to keep them.

POPLAR CITIZENS
ARE HEALTHY BUT
HAVE OIL FEVER

With capital stock of 100000
the Poplar Dome Development COM
pany is being perfected by the citizens
and farmers of that vicinity. The plan
is to have as large number of stock
holders as possible, and to that end
the subscription lists have been thrown
open to anyone who cares to become
interested.
DR.. H. G. Harris is promoting the
company, which is to be known as the
Poplar Dome Development company
and he declares he met with success
far beyond his expectations. The lead
ing men of town and prominent farm
ers on the reservation have signed to
take stock. The officers of the COM

LOWER SHOE PRICES
ARE PROMISED SOON

New York, March 23.-Prices of
standard shoes will be reduced this
spring and summer, John j. Slater,
president of the Retail Shoe Dealers
association, announced in communi-
cation to Arthur William, federal food
administrator.
Retailers at recent meeting de-
cided to be content with a smaller
margin of profit, Mr.. Slater said.
Reductions, however, will not ap-
ply to "all kinds of fancy and ultra
fashionable footwear"
The action of the retail shoe deal
ers, Mr.. Williams said, probably pres
saged the beginning of general mar
rowing of profit margins in other
wearing apparel.

"TEACH ME TO FORGET"

| wish to firmly deprecate
A tendency note of late
To stimulate and energize
The region up above my eyes,
To render one alert and keen
Within the corner of the bean
Where facts and fancies used to stray
Are much too keen, alert and gay,
But now are neatly filed away.
And, deprecating, | deplore
The popular mennonite bore,
Apostles who would proselyte
To memory system they indite,
The all-too-human sort of mutt
Who sports sieve-y occiput,
And who behind his simple face
For facts can find no parking space.
And this the burden of my song:
To train the memory is wrong,
Retentive faculties today
For we remember much to we'll
The woes with which our bosoms
swell,
And can't forget, how much we try,
The hurts from which we'd gladly fly
So sages who in countless tones
Devolve your dope for dubious domes
Have you a system that installs
Forgetfulness of monthly bills?
Have you a method simple, sleek.
To make my pesky memory weak?
If so, your course is sold to me,
l do not want a memory.
