TO STIMULATE BUSINESS

Economists are authorities for the
statement that a general 10 percent
increase in business would solve the
problem and start the nation along
the road to a safe and sound prosper
ity -- better prosperity than it has
ever known before.
The Educational Department Of the
Associated Advertising Clubs Of the
World believes that better advertis-
ing, backed up by better selling in
the retail stores, with better UNDER
standing of this advertising on the
part of the consumer would lead to
this better business.
Therefore, they have designated the
week beginning May 9Th as Better
Advertising Week. Newspapers and
other publications around the world
have consented to cooperate by run
ming articles in their columns during
this week, informing the public on
what advertising has done for the
consumer, what Notwithstanding
| means both to the consumer and the
merchant, how better advertising will
produce better business, etc.
! Advertising Clubs throughout the
world will put on special Better Ad-
vertising programs during this week
and the cooperation of such organi-
| cations as Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions,
| Optimists, Exchange, Chambers OF
Commerce, etc., is expected, they like
wise putting on special programs in
their meetings held during this Bet
ter Advertising Week. "
In addition to this, retail merchants
have been urged to put on Golden
Rule or Truth Sales. In these sales
each merchant picks out some one ar
ticle from his stock - preferably a
well-known nationally advertised ar
ticle with an established price = and
put on as a Special during. this sale.
Following out the Golden Rule prin-
ciple in every respect, no two n1er-
chants will put on competing articles
as their Specials.
Thus, an entire community, and in
some cases an entire town, becomes
in reality big department store.
Again following the Golden Rule
principle, instead of the big merchant
taking a page or two of advertising
in the local newspaper to advertise
his part in this sale, cooperative adj
vertising is followed and each mer-
chant, large or small, uses the same
amount of space to feature the Spe-
cial which he is offering during this
week.
In their advertisements merchants
are urged to state what Truth-in- Ad-
yertising means to the consumer and
to the merchant, and to make short
truthful statement about present bust
ness and economic conditions, show
ing the buying public that there is no

REDUCES RATE OF INTEREST

Rates of interest provided in new
bonds to be issued by the state ad,
ministration will be reduced consider
ably from the interest rates of bond
issues sold in the past for industry
purposes. The reduction is made by
the administration in the expectation
that North Dakota bonds will prove
an attractive offering on the market

4 MINUTE MAN
TO SPEAK HERE

While Charles Henry Macintosh,
president Of the Associated Advertis-
ing Clubs of the World, who will
speak in Valley City on Monday, May
18th, will appear this year, before all
the advertising clubs in the United
States and Canada, and will address
many thousands Of business men,
nearly every reader of this paper has
heard him speak before-by proxy.
During the days of war stress,
when you heard Four Minute man
in every moving picture house you
entered, the stirring speeches that
you heard came from the Bulletin Of
the Four Minute Men and Mr.. Mack
intosh, as editor of the bulletin, thus
spoke every day through the mouths
Of $4,000 speakers, in every nook and
Granny Of the United States.
When he appears here, May 18th,
under the auspices of the Town Cri-
ers he will have a special message for
business men who believe that adver-
Using is great modern force in bus
mess and that it is worth while to
try to improve it's appeal.
A recent writer of magazine ar
ticle concerning President Macintosh
said that if he had slogan, it would
be-: II would rather be a finely at
tuned watch spring whose life is but
a year, than forty tons of iron ore".
That, according to members of the
Town Criers Club, expresses in a few
words, an interesting phase of the
character Of this engaging man. It
does, also, express his belief relative
to self-improvement through educa-
ton, and accounts for his tremendous
interest in helping to establish for the
Associated Advertising Clubs an edu-
cation program which promises to be
one of the biggest factors toward bus
mess improvement that has ever been
inaugurated. '....-.s
Members Of the local organization,
in describing the speaker, have COM
mented upon the fact that few men,
at his age, have been able to accom-
plish anything like as much as he.
There is no secret, however, as to how
he has done so much in such short
time. He learned long ago that a
mans accomplishment does not de-
pend so much upon the number of
years he is on job as upon the in
tensity with which he cultivates his
time.
The meeting of the Town Criers
Club will not be for members of that
organization alone, but for other bus
mess executives interested in the bet
ter use of advertising as an effective
business force. ..H. 49,, ...

more real DR.. L. S. Platou has been
endorsed for governor to fight the reg

said to be that the Hellstrum-Platou

their rights at the polls. After it is
all over they will have created lot
of bitterness that should not exist and
instead of strengthening the demo-

Mr.,Cox, who ran for president two
years ago, has been out making
speeches and abusing the Republican
party of course. During one of his
speeches he recently said "that we are
standing where we did two years
ago.. For once Mr.. Cox hit it off
right. He is standing right where he
was two years ago and the way
Harding ran it certainly looked as if
he was standing still. Mr.. Cox is too
much of a knocker to get very far
with the American people.
It is easy to understand why the
Democrats are opposed to the new
Republican tariff law. The Demo-
cratic tariff law put cattle, sheep and
swine, beef, pork, and mutton, on the
free list. The Republican law impos-
es an import duty of from IL cents
to 5 cents per pound-not an exorbi-
tant duty but one sufficient to give
the American farmer some protection
and to compel the foreign producer to
help support this government in re-
turn for the privilege of selling his
products here. This sort of America
First policy is utterly un-Democratic
hence the desire of the Democrats
in Congress to beat the bill.

Congresswoman Alice Robertson, of
Oklahoma, has become peeved at the
women of her district trying to tell
her now to run her job in congress.
Yesterday she declared real "war to
ia finish" on the American League of

|litical organizations which she declar-
led have been trying to tell her what
Ito do in congress. cts war from now
on between the League of Women
Voters and other like organizations
and myself" asserted Alice, the only
woman in Congress. They have been
trying to boss me long enough. Just
because insist upon representing the
people Of the second Oklahoma dis
trict who sent me to congress, instead
Of cliques of women all over the coun-
TRY, they have been hooking me. Now
II propose to strike back whenever
can and as hard as cam. Miss Rob
ertson declared the League Of Women
Voters gave her deliberate snub in
not inviting her to the recent pan
American women congress at Balti-
more and not in arranging meeting
between her and Lady Astor, only
woman sitting in the British parlia-
ment who is now visiting America.
When the women get into politics
they scrap like the men folks, don't
they?

The North Dakota senatorial fight
is mixed up deal to say the least,
yet there seems to be a crystallizing
movement around to unite on McCum-
Der as against Frazier. There has
been a great deal of opposition
against the senior senator and many
voters are yet lukewarm to his candi-
dacy, but the general talk is, that Nc
Cumber has the brains and would be a
far preferable man to Frazier in the
senate and for this reason many vot-
ers who have been against him are
going to the polls to- support him on
June 2Sth in order to defeat Frazier.
The entry into the race of McHarg,
Norton and Lauder, if the latter does
come in, is going to split up the vote
quite a lot but the entry of these
would-be senators is also going to
spur many lukewarm ones to getting
in line for McCumber in order to beat
the league. The Jamestown conven-
ton certainly left things up in the
air, but at that we seem to have a
lot of fellows who are selfish and
thoughtless and they seem to want to
defeat the Independent party in Or
der to satisfy some petty grudge OF
selfish interest. This is no time to
nurse a crouch or grudge but a time
when we should present a united front
to defeat the common enemy.

One Of the measures prepared fol

sion Of the legislature is the Sunset
Homes Bill. This bill has been drawn
~ the Minnesota Commission for the
Aged after an exhaustive survey of
the facilities within the state for TAX
ing care Of men and women. entering
the sunset Of life 1t provides a
sensible means Of afording homes to
the aged in their declining years.
Investigation by. the Commission,
which was appointed by Governor j. A.
A. Burnquist, disclosed that there are
in Minnesota more than l00, 900 per-
sons over IS years old, of whom not
more than / in 20 have means upon
which to live independently. &#t
II The bill carries no compulsory eondi-
lions and is in reality an enabling act.
The Commission found that homes for
the aged in Minnesota hre inadequate
to care for the numbers applying for
admittance. Members of the Commits
sion also took under consideration the
reluctance which old persons feel upon
entering such homes. =
"It seems reasonable to assume, -
the findings Of the Commission read,
"that the practical solution of the
problem of caring for the aged must
provide a sensible means by which
they may feel that they are not accept
ing charity As state We must there4
fore provide for all their needs in such
fashion that they will feel that they
have prepared for their declining years
by their ewn efforts. This is the pre-.
mise upon which this bill is based.'
The bill provides that:
Counties may unite to build Sunset
Homes, the county and state each to
paw one half the cost of maintenance.
The homes will be under the control
of commission composed of the chair
man of the county board, the county
attorney, the probate judge and four
others, two of whom must be women.
All persons more than 70 years to h's
admitted, and those more than IS
years, if unable to maintain themselves

and if they have made their required
payments of $3.50.

As for the servants of Santa Claus,
they had never had such a merry
Christmas before. Their hearts were
80 warm that they did not mind the
frost. They sang over the pleasure Of
giving pleasure and relief. They said
they knew that Santa Claus had to live
up North SO that he could cool off after
his warm interest in the happiness of
others. They addressed him in verses
that must have made him jollier than
ever, calling him:
THE MAGIC MAN
There is a man who lives up north
All clad in robes and furs,
And every year. he sallies forth
AS love his going spurs.
He mitigates the winters cold
That otherwise would freeze,
And keeps himself from growing old
BY tending Christmas trees.
The children for his coming wait,
So do the old folks, too;
Unhappiness goes out the gate
When Santa comes to you.
And their own presents never seemed
so large and good before.
