Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have
a friend who is very peculiar. She
is a musician and so she thinks she
has a right to lay her bad temper
to temperament. Her mother died
about two years ago and since that
time she has travelled quite a bit.
She has one sister but she and her
sister can't get along together two
hours. A year ago she came here
and stayed two weeks at our house.
/ am a working girl and work hard
to make a living for myself and
my mother. Mother has a pension.
but even so we don't find it very
easy to get along. This friend
end of the two weeks and while she
was with US she was very unreason-
able to mother and me. She put
her clothes in the wash for mother
to do, she came down to breakfast
after the breakfast dishes were
done, and she did everything one
could think of that was annoying
to mother.
Mother thought it was wrong for
me to work hard all day and have
to support q girl of my wv age
just as able to work as | was and
so she told my friend she would
have to pay board if she stayed
| with US much longer. She explain
ed that we were not in a position
to have a guest for a long stay
After a week my friend went some
where else, but she did not leave
one cent to cover the expense she
had been to US. She talked about
US terribly after she left and there
is no one in town who hasn't heard
how mother and l treated he.
Now she has come back and she
Is very unhappy. Her mother LEFT
her some money. but through a BAG
investment that has been lost. She
is really penniless and has no work
She wants to come and live with
US, but she said nothing about pay
ing. Any way we do not wait hel
because she is too selfish to have
in the home.
J Don't you think her sister ought
to take care of her instead of mere

friends who have already been the
butt of her unkind tongue?
MARIE.
Indeed her sister is the one to
help her. Do not sacrifice .-ur
mother for a friend who has al
ready shown her lack of gratitude.
People with extremely selfish ma
lures need knocks and hardships to
teach them that others have their
rights in the world too.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young man twenty-six years old.
For several months / could not find
work and I had to borrow money
in order to live. Now / have a
position which does not pay much.
but / have been promised more
money as soon as / become accus-
toned to the work. I have started
in a business which is entirely new
to me.
A while ago / met the most won
derful girl in the world. / loved
her almost at first sight and I am
sure she liked me too. She had
a way of overlooking the fact that
/ didn't have work. We were to-
gether quite a bit and she never
made me feel that she wanted me
to take her places and spend money.
I called on her and we went walk
ing and while / was with her ! felt
like a man with a future and not
like a hopeless failure without even
a job.
Her mother has just died and she
is left an orphan. Her poor little
heart is broken and it makes me
sick to see her so alone. Do you
think / have any right to ask heI
to become engaged? Marriage
would be impossible at present. but
| would like to mean as m. CHI to
her as possible. FRED.
At this time of sorrow it will
mean a great deal to the girl to
become engaged to the man she
loves, and / think she loves you
from what you have said il your
letter. Even if you cannot marry
she will feel that she belongs to
some one and it will do much "a
relieve her feeling of aloneness.

SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT
PRAISES ADVERTISING
F. P. Mann of Devils Lake
Accounts for Decline of
Smaller Stores
(By United Press)

Minot, N. D., Sept 14-The av.
eragc retailer does not know how
to advertise. Seventy five per cent
of them do not believe in it.
These are the reasons in the opin.
ion of F.. P. Mann of Devils Lake
nationally known biggest small
town merchant in the United
States, for the rapid decline of the
smaller retail stores Of the Nation
Mr.. Mann, former president of
the North Dakota retail dealers
urged the Eight district of the AS
sociated Advertising clubs in con
vention here to launch a campaign
in advertising.
Present conditions demand that
the sensational be injected into, the
advertisement in order to catch the
eye of the buying public, Mr.. Manr
declared. Mr.. Mann attributes his
big success of his Devils Lake store
to his consistent advertising. How
ever he says:
1T is my experience in Mann's
department store that it is necessary
to depart many times from the
methods Of advertising laid down
by a great many so called adver
Using experts"
This trend toward the sensations
al and heretofore condemned com
parative price ads is noted by Mr.
Mann in the displays of the big
merchandising institutions of the
country, such as "Thomas of Min
neapolis, Rothschld Of Chicago anc
Back of Cleveland"
Leading advertisers have strongly
opposed the comparative price meth,
cd, commonly used by mail order
houses, and Mr.. Mann is still I'M
convinced as to it's effectiveness.
1T is a great question in my mind
whether or not the confidence OF
the buying public has not been de-
stroycd in all advertising by these
methods" Manufacturers, jobbers,
and local newspapers should assist
the merchant in proper advertising

HOLDS LARGE AUDIENCE
Outlines Duties of American
Club Women in Bringing
About Needed Changes

Now delving into the gravest of
national and international problems,
now moving her audience to laugh
ter with the interjection, of some
humorous anecdote, Mrs. T. G. Win
ter, president of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs, speaking to
an audience which packed the
Armory to capacity, made an ard
ent appeal for the humanization Of
the government, the abolition Of
traffic in liquor and narcotics, and q
firmer control of immigration.

Wednesday evening program, u

vocal selection of welcome was sung.
"Women are coming into power
just when democracy is beginning
to show it's weaknesses or failures.
What we need now is straight, clear
thinking about our own conduct and
that of the government. The fund
amentals of government were aptly
expressed by the statesman who said
that the state is the mutual under
standing Of friends, yet if this be
true how will 11O,OO0,OOO people in
our land still be able to retain de-
mOcracy. -.
These were the speakers opening
remarks. She then turned her at
tention to the structure Of each
government unit, and the welding
together of the smaller units into
county, state and federal government
and brought her argument right to
the homes in the audience, stating
that the individuals are the smallest
units, and that each succeeding unit
is only as strong as it's weakest link
Each Of the smaller orders of gov
eminent, the speaker claimed, is at
tempting to cast some of its financial
burden onto the national government
For short period the limitation of
the government by the constitution,
the threatened breach of integrity

deplorable situation in the divorce
