Decorah's prominent and we'll known
young business men, Mr.. Donald
Haugen to Miss Alma Anderson, a

years ago when she held a position
of trained nurse at the DEBORAH hos
pital. The groom is one of Decorah's
very best young men and is as
ISOLATED with his father, X. /. Hau-
gen, in the management of the Big
Daylight Store. He is young man
who counts his friends on every
hand. The groom's father went to

ance at the wedding today. The

row, and they have scores of friends
here who extend most sincere felici-

A second card received stated the

Miss Gardner has a sister living in
Deadwood, hence they picked that
city as their destination. The girls
had been telling of their plans, but
it seems that everybody, including
their relatives, took it as a joke.
Just how much ''hoofing it" they will
do on the journey probably depends
upon how many free auto rides they

Their College band and others. They
gave their first concert Wednesday
evening at Riverside Park, playing
to a large crowd.
The first session opened Thursday
afternoon in the auditorium in the
State Normal. Rev. n. NJ. Ylvisaker,
of Minneapolis, the secretary in his
report showed that great strides had
been made in the organization of the
League, since the convention at Red
Wing in 1919. The meetings were
all very well attended and everyone
who attended couldn't help but be
inspired by listening to the speakers.
The people of Lacrosse are to be
complimented highly on the way
they make everybody feel at home.
On Saturday cars were furnished
the delegates and visitors for an
outing to Gale College, about 10
mile drive, but on account of rain
were forced 70 return to Lacrosse
before the concert by the Luther
College band could be given.
The conventions of the circuit and
district leagues have the last three
years assembled thousands of young
people and desAxua- te--ha,- counted

ADVERTISING PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Boom in Retail Trade Awaits
Only Little Thought on Part
Of The Merchant.

Government figures prove beyond
dispute that business revival is mark
ed-but by business revival is meant
manufacturing and production. Re-
tail trade has not yet caught up.
Close analysis of this situation dis
closes that the retailers have Jagged
because they have failed TO put into
the minds of the people feeling of
confidence that prices have reached
the bottom and that better times are
at hand. 1t is amazing how few re-
tail merchants in the smaller towns
realize the value of educational adj
vertising. They are so close to the
picture they fail to see its perspec-
tive. They look for the immediate
dollar and in grasping at the sha-
dow they miss the substance. The
value of advertising is cumulative.
Indeed, that is its greatest worth.
Eastman has actually advertised the
word camera out of the dictionary
and advertised the trademarked name
Kodak into the dictionary.
The day of misleading advertising
has passed. The public has come
to see advertising in the hight of
News, and it is news. The mer-
chant who advertises tells his story
frankly to the public, knowing he
will be checked up and courying
Investigation OF his statements and
prices. The advertisement of today
is not the subject of suspicion. 1t
is the ferchant who is afraid to.
tell his Story over his signature that
the public regards with doubt, and
properly SO.
The boom in retail trade awaits
only little thought on the part of
the merchant, plus the fundamental
knowledge that advertising is an in
