DOES IT PAY?

Very frequently business men Won
der whether or not the money which
they devote to advertising their mer-
chandise really pays them.
Some merchants profess to think
such money is more or less of a chari-
table offering to the local newspaper
Some merchants buy space in their
home newspaper because they know
that the newspaper is valuable as
set to the town.
But some, of course, have long since
been convinced that time and money
carefully invested in store publicity
brings returns many, many fold.
To all merchants, whether they be-
lieve in advertising or not, the results
of recent survey by the Avery Com
pany will be of interest.
This company investigated the ad-
vertising and sales of 304 Of the deal
ers handling its product.
Of these 304 dealers 268 advertised
the product and 36 did not. The deal
ers who used publicity spent S15,058.-
80 for it and their sales tOtaled 81
22,-112 90
The percentage of advertising ex-
pensc on the above sales was lesS
than one per cent.
The 36 non advertisers did a total
business in this commodity of $500
The average annual sales of the 268
advertisers, in the Avery commodity
alone, was $6,422; the average annual
sales of the non advertisers was $208
In other words the advertiser, al
though he spent less than one per
cent of his sales receipts in advertis-
ing, did more than thirty-one times
the business which fell to the non
advertiser.
Could a more convincing argument
in favor of store publicity be offered

82,885 Automobiles.

The official report from Bismarck
shows that there are 82,885 passen-
ger cars and trucks in use in the
state, of which 60 per cent are owned
by the farmers. Three years ago the
automobile license in this state was
raised over three hundred per cent.
It is claimed that the average license
now is over $40 per car. Figure this
up and see what Pembina county has
paid in the last two years in license
and then ask your township authori-
ties how much of this money has been
received back to the township fund
to be spent on roads. Is it any Won
der that we are groaning under the
burden of taxation. Then take the
100000 paid in gasoline taxes which
really comes under the same heading
and we believe any man will wonder
what we are coming to.

j. LaMoure left on<Monday for Bis
narck as delegate to the Republican
state convention which was called to
elect delegates to the national conven-
tion. The attendance at the conven-
tion was large and it seems that the
life injected into the Republican party
in this state means that the neon1e
are trying to rid the party of Social
istic elements that have had control
Of that party, with the assistance of
renegade Democrats the last four
years. It is high time that the party
gets into the hands of people who be-
1ieve in the traditional principles of
Republicanism and not those who
have no interest in the party but the
personal gains they get out of the or
ganization.

Official Paper of Pembina
lie Calls it Tax Now.

In beittleing Attorney General
Langer's speech at Cavalier short
time ago The Townley kept press, the
Cavalier Chronicle, makes the state
ment that the three hundred thous-
and dollars collected from the Stand
ard Oil Company was tax collected
from the people and the attorney gen.
eral tried to show that it was through
his efforts that the company was
made to pay it over to the state.
This is what the Pioneer Express has
been contending all the time, but the
Chronicle has tried to construe it diff
ferently. Now that the editor of that
paper has admitted that the farmers
of North Dakota have been taxed this
three hundred thousand dollars that
were taxed before the Townley gas
cline bill went into effect we would
like to see that learned gentleman add
this amount to the sum of the other
exhorbitant taxes the farmers of the
state are being burdened with this
year and give US the footings. It is
safe to say that a farmer with trac-
tor has paid at least fifty dollars to
this gasoline tax and what has he got
In return?

wheat will be about 174,ooo,oo bush.

wheat will be about 174,000, 900 BUSH
els short.
AS we have no figures on spring
wheat states, we will presume that
it will fall off accordingly or about
"a per cent, but l believe that you
will agree with me that the spring
wheat states will sow 80 per cent
less acreage in 1920 than in 1919, 1
base my opinion upon the fact that
during the Great War we were all
called upon to raise all the wheat
possible and whereas millions of
acres were put into wheat, that will
have to be summerfallowed in 1920,
because the crop wouldn't much more
than pay for the expense, if the
spring acreage will be 80 per cent
less I find that the spring wheat
states will sow about 100000 acres
less and figuring this at the 1919 av-
erage of 9 bushels per acre, the spring
wheat will be about 63,OO0,0OO bush
els short. The wheat production for
the United States will be about 237,-
100000 bushels short, or about 26 per
cent of the 1919 crop.
You will remember that Senate,
Gronna stated week ago that the
European countries are looking upon
US for necessary food.
The winter rye has also fallen off
231s per cent and undoubtedly will
be considerable short,
You will remember that the price
of wheat in January was up to $3.50
per bushel at Minneapolis, and it is
impossible to say how high it will go
before the 1920 crop is harvested, and
with possible shortage of 26 per cent
or more, the 1920 wheat crop may go
up to $4.4O per bushel and with no
guarantee for 1920 the grain gamble,
and grain speculator can have merry
time with the producers wheat and
the consumers food.
Therefore, wouldn't it be to the
best interest of both the producer and
consumer that the United States gov.
ernment set the same guarantee mini.
mum price of S2.26 at Chicago and
also a reasonable maximum price tc
protect the consumer from great high
and unreasonable prices.
If the guarantee is put on again
the farmers will plant less barley and
flax and thereby produce more wheat
and which will tend to bring cheaper
food for the consumer.
Why shouldn't we all boost for a
guarantee price.

mon interest. vnt thew viewpoirts
and detectives differ. Hense. we will
devote The first Of this article to a
brief look at the city and its environ
ments from the tourists point Of
view.
Colorado Springs is about hum
dred miles southeast of Denver in the
southeastern part of Colorado. It
claims about $4,000 resident popu-
lation. It is situated at the foot Of
the Rocky Mountains which extends
about one hundred miles westward,
while east is rolling prairie. The
prairie is we'll settled by prosperous
farmers, but land appears to be about
the same price as in the Red River
Valley. As the rain fall is only from
twelve to fourteen inches irrigation
is used to help the needed moisture,
though some good crops are being
raised in the "dry farming" process.
Although the range Of the Rockies
runs the whole length Of the contin-
ent and then some. and althoueh the
whole length and breadth abounds in
roagnifcart and varied scenery, vet
this. "Pikes Peak REGION" has the
advantage of arv other locality, in

The Cavalier Chronicle announced
last week that their advertising rates
would be raised to 25 cents per inch.
The reason given was that everything
else is going up in price these days.
If any of the other county papers
could have all the legal printing
through special legislation that the
Chronicle has we are sure they
would not grumble agout the high
cost of living. But the law and pow
ers that runs this state politically are
behind the Chronicle and they can do
as they like in small matters Of boost
ing prices as high as they see fit.
The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1920-02-20

many smaller ones, and the sign
"rooms" is placarded on hundreds of
private residences. During the three
summer months rates are high, rough
ly speaking about $40 per room and
upward, to the fashionable "Broad-
moor" at $14 per day. Sanitarium
rates are about $50 per week. It is
therefore evident that people need
money to reside in this city, and
should not come here without means.
The chances for getting light employ
ment for people who are sick are very
precarious.
But the proof of the pudding is in
the eating. There is no doubt that
sihundreds of tuberculosis cases are i'm
proved or permanently arrested" (for
the ravages of tuberculosis are never
again "recovered") in this region an
Enually.
I, Talking with permanent residents,
one is astonished to find what a large
proportion come here originally for
their own or the health of some men,
5ber of the family, and recovering, set
tile down here because they like and
possibly feel greatful to the city. In
some cases return to former homes
causes return of the trouble.
We have become acquainted with
|one rather peculiar case. A patient
from Texas has taken the out door
rest treatment so long and so faith
fully that though the physician and
nurse both declare that his tuberculo-
sis is completely arrested, he still
sticks faithfully to his sun porch bed
all the twenty-four hours, except to
arise and eat three hearty meals. It
looks in his case as though the reme-
|dy has developed into an incurable,
though not fatal disease.
