Chambers Hitting
Horses in N. Oak.

Fargo, N. D. - Infection of CLAN
ders. among horses near New Rock
ford, Eddy county, is reported by
veterinarians who have been testing
suspected cases in the locality during
the past week. Indications are that
the spread Of the infection has been
checked by quarantines, and that the
disease will be stamped out in accord
arce with state laws and regulations.
Good sanitary conditions on farms,
and check on mingling of horses are
the best preventions Of the contagion,
according to veterinarians. Serious
cases usually show discharges at the
nostrils, although this condition may
be due to other reasons. Following the
passage of state glanders laws several
years ago, the number Of cases in the
state has steadily decreased. Indemni-
ties are paid to farmers whose infect
ed horses are condemned.

Editorial

Why do merchants adver-
tise? It is not that they do not
realize that every one in their
community knows them and
what their lines of goods are.
It is not that they are not
aware that their friends know
they are doing business. That
has nothing to do with it. 'rhe
fact that a man or woman has
opened store for the sale Of
certain lines of goods does MT
mean that they will be success
full. Every one in the commun-
ity may be aware of the fact,
and they are also aware that
there are others in tine same
lines of business advertising
creates business. 1t creates a
demand for the a:vhandlse
the merchant has upon his
shelves. A person may walk in
to his store a dozen times and
come out without inquiring
for the various articles that
could be had for the asking.
The merchant knows that to be
fact, and that is why he ad-
vertises in his local paper. He
knows that the paper goes in
to practically every home in
the community, and he knows
that by advertising his goods in
the paper the people read that
they will go to the store to
buy what they see advertised.
The advertisement was a sug-
gestion. It created a demand,
and the farmer and the labor
er, the banker and the profes-
sional man were notified that
there were bargains awaiting
them at the store of the ad-
vertising merchant. That is the
secret of the success of the ad-
vertising business man.

of the case until later date. M. J.
Cowley, city auditor and clerk of the
board, declared Commissioner Hook
ing had specific charges to file against
Mr.. Maxson.
Licenses Not Demanded
Inquiry revealed the fact that the
city has permitted operation of the
employment Offices here for about
three years without license, prior to
which time, according to Auditor Cow
ley, Mr.. Maxson had city authority
to operate. It was also pointed out
that since early in the war draymen
had not been called upon to pay licen-
SC fees which city ordinance de-
mands of $500 for each team.
Maxson's Record Good
It is said large number Of COM

"The Boy Scouts band Of Devils
Lake received great applause, parti-
cularly the vocal soprano solos by
Master Kelly of Aneta, N. D. This
young artist, barely in his teens, has
already won a name for himself in
such centers as New York Boston
and Atlantic City. The band itself was
organized just two years ago by body
of public-spirited citizens at an initial
expense Of $4,000.

= Winnipeg Press.
II think the Boy Scout band of De-
,yils Lake, N. D., for boys of their
age, playing musical instruments, can
play better than the average man. I
have travelled considerably in my
forty-one years and have been over
the world considerably and have heard
all numbers of bands of all descrip-
tions and when run on to the Boy
Scout band of Devils Lake, was over
jcyed to hear little fellows playing as
they did. think in later years, they
will be finished musicians. No doubt, if
Mr.. Sousa could hear this band he
would congratulate the director of this
famous band. wish to congratulate
the boys on their success and wish
them the brilliant future which know
lies before them.
