WILSON'S NEXT JOB

Pretty soon the interest of the ma
ton will center on the question: What
is Woodrow Wilson going to do after
March 4 when he retires?
is he to be the second Sage Of
Princeton, in the classic groves from
which Grover Cleveland addressed his
tountrymen from time to time after
his retirement?
Or, it health is restored to him, will
he. like Taft, accept professorship
IN a college, and go about the country
lecturing to his fellow Amer'ca ns-a
professor-at-large, so to speak?
Obviously, in him there dwells not
the spirit Of adventure that sent Theo-
lore Roosevelt to the African jungles
and later to the track!ess interior of
South America; and still later into
another contest for the presidency.
Rather, more than likely, Wilson
will devote himself to writing, and
from his pen the nation may expect
the most notable contribution to the
history Of the times in which no
statesman played so prominent part
as he.
Only one president returned to pub
lie life, after quitting his office, John
Quincy Adams, retiring from the pres
idency in 1929, returned to Washing
ton in 1881 as a member Of the house
Gf representatives, at the age Of sixty
four. Friends feared this step would
dim the luster Of his great fame, but
his service in congress only added to
his renOWn.

Class Matter at the Postonice Ut

THE ONLY WAY

William II. Rankin, president of one
OF the greatest advertising agencies
in this country and an expert in ev-
cry known form of advertising, ad-
dressed a meeting Of business men
in New Orleans recently, and among
other things he said:
Newspaper advertising helped to
win the war and has come into its
own-very largely, | think, because
of the splendid work. done through
the newspaper advertising pages for
the Red Cross, Liberty loan and every
wartime activity. Nearly every de-
partment in Washington is clamoring
for paid newspaper space. The army
has just completed successful cam
paign, spending over 100000 in
newspapers. And campaign cost
ing even more is being pushed to Sc
cure naval enlistments. Seventy-five
per cent of all money appropriated by
Uncle Sam goes into newspaper adj
vertising."
That certainly ought to be of in
terest to Minot merchants, or anybody,
for that matter, who has something to
sell-isn't it pretty good argument
that newspaper advertising is better
than any other kind? Doesn't it
show that it beats billboard and fence
signs and loud and gaudy stuff stuck
along the highways? Isn't it pretty
good argument that, to get the worth
of your advertising money the biggest
part of tat least three-fourths of
it-must be spent for newspaper ad-
vertising?
Your Uncle Sans experts are the
finest advertising men in the world.
And if they have spent millions in
testing it out and find the newspaper
to be the best advertising medium in
the world, isn't their tip worth some-
thing to you?

PROPER CARE OF YOUNG PIGS
First Thing to d Done 10 to Cut on
Four Sharp, Hard Tvsks-
Never Pull Them.

Soon after pigs are born, the four
sharp. hard tusks. two In the upper
and two in the lower Jaws should be
cut off. Take pair of nippers and
cut the teeth off, but not too near the
gums. Often these tusks cut the sow's
teats, make them sore and she will
not let the pigs suck. Then, also, the
pigs cut themselves with those tusks.
and sometimes stick them through
their tongue. cannot suck, and starve.
They cause sore mouth. They are soft
and easily removed
A pair of sharp scissors will cut
them easily but under no circumstan-
ces should they be pulled out II 1t il
seen that Il pig is getting too fat. 1t is
evidence that 1t is robbing Its mates.
To prevent this. take sharp knife
and cut its rooter in two or three
places, deep enough to make ii sore.
and 1t will stop taking more than its
share.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROFITS
Only About or Per Cent Of Live
Stock Is Purebred and Demand
Steadily Growing.

There are many opportunities for
good profits in the breeding of pure
bred live stock. When 1t is consid-
cred that only about 4 or per cent Of
all our stock is purebred and that
the demand for better stock is steadi-
~ growing Unjust be clear that there
is still room for capable men with H
love for live stock to make breeding
IL profitable business. But the man
who is not prepared either through
training or inclination to devote q
large part Of his time to the care and
management of his stock Is surely
making mistake to engage in the
purebred business.

GREETING THE FARMERS

How do you greet the farmer when
he comes to Minot? Is your greet
ing such that he feels that he is with
us but not of us, or is he made to
feel that he is in his town, among
his people and with his friends?
The making or the marring Of this
town depends greatly upon your at
titude toward the farmer when he
favors us with his visits. He is the
backbone of the community and with
out his aid and encouragement this
would be an unsuccessful place in
which to do business. We ride out
into the country and the farmer ex-
tends the hand of fellowship and bids
US welcome When we leave he in
vites US to come again, and he does
so in sincere and honest manner.
But is our welcome and our leave
taking marked by such sincerity?
We of the town are proud Of the
farmers of this community, and of
their wives and sons and daughters.
They are men and women Of high
order of intelligence, whose integrity
is beyond question and whose thrift
and energy and perseverance is trans
forming the countryside into hive of
industry and wealth. But we fear
chat we of the town are often for
getful of the great duty that we owe
to them for their loyalty and gener-
osity in support of our business enter
prises. So let US constantly seek to
cultivate a spirit still more friendly
and neighborly and open our hearts
that the farmer may lock within. For
we are but one big fsmiIy, with one
common interest, and the welfare of
one is and always will be the welfare
of all.
