The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-03-17

F. w. Heidel has been mentioned to
us as being a worthy man to place on
the park board. That's the way we
feel about it, too. Mr.. Heidel is right
on this park buying proposition, be-
Geves in identifying the city and at
the same time in spending the people
money in conservative manner WIN, ,
out getting foolish about it. He would
be right, we think, and then couldnt
he be classed as representative cltl-
zen.
Gentlemen of the Administration
BOARD of the State of North Dakota:
Don't YOU think it would be something
worth while if you would spend some
Of that $4,000 that you are now
throwing away in an advertising pro-
paganda for political purposes If you
would use it for paying to deserving
ex-service men in the way OF bonus
This would be doing real service to
the state and to the soldier boys.
Think this over if you can put politics
out of your mind long enough to 90 so.
The Bank of North Dakota officials
with brazen effrontery are still send-
ing out page ads. of propaganda TELL
ing of the wonders of this institution.
The latest page ad. says that the bank
is as solid as the rick of Gibraltar IL
is. It has frozen up the funds of the
people so solid that it will take gen
erations to thaw them out. The ad-
ministration board is spending thous-
ands OF dollars every week in this KIND
of business that is an absolute waste
of money and which is nothing more
than political dope to fool the people
with an endeavor to have them pull
the bunch out of the mud by their
boot straps.
Save 10 per cent of your income
That's thrift. Spend 80 per cent for
the necessities, comforts, pleasures
and Improvement Of your condition.
That's what keeps the wheels OF busl-
ness and industry turning and insures
to YOU a full pay envelope from winch
YOU can save and spend in a natural,
normal, needful way. Over IS per
cent Of Americas adult population
are wage earners. If you don't buy:
they don't work. If you stop buying
production halts Cessation Of buying
chokes unto death the Prosperity OF
merchant and wage Garner. There is
no sound reason why America should
not be prosperous. And it's all up to
you. Buy now.
The more the recall election is talk
ed over by the people the more the
sentiment grows against holding any
such election. 1t is the majority opin-
ion that it would be far better to
let the bunch new in power stew IN
their Juice the remainder of the term
for which they are elected than to
turn them out if they could be turned
out and inherit a mess that those who
are elected in their place could not
get from under. When that conven--
ton meets. at Devils Lake at the end
of this month to thresh these prob
lens out, we hope they will vote the
down. If the bunch IN
power can stand it for eighteen
months longer surely we can-we have
had to stand it for four or five years
now, anyway.
Do you know why the devastated
countries of Central Europe are in
such dire distress? Because there is
no production, no work. and no money
with which to buy from the producing
nations. America is prosperous be-
cause our money is good. Do you
want to change that condition? You
nearly did so last fall, when you stop |
ped buying and wage earners immedl-
ately began to experience the effects in
unemployment. But, thank goodness
you've seen the error Of your ways !,
and you saw them quickly. December
and January commercial reports
showed a resumption of buying, and
already 35 per cent of the unemploy-
ed have been returned to work and !,
wages have not lowered to any appre-
ciable extent. Keep America prosper
ous and keep buying. It's your duty
to your country, to your employer, to
and to your family. It's the ,
,nly way to protect your pay envelope !

he retail buyir- done in this country
comes from the wage earners. and not !
rom the wealthy? The wage earners
ire for the most part those who de-
pend upon the weekly pay envelope to
supply their week-to-week, needs. If
his class stops buying the pay en-
velope also stops functioning, because
when there is no consumption of COM
nodities there is likewise no need for
Mills, miners, manufacturing organ
cations and mercantile houses must
etrench by cutting down wages
working half time or closing down en-
rely. Buying is the only thing that
an keep the wheels Of business turn
ng. Buying depends upon the money
pent by wage earners, and the pay +
nvelop depends upon the buying they
o-tfie 8 per5 cent Of the country's
ommodities which they consume and
roduce. Buy now and keep buying.
