tising campaign was arranged to sell
this product, This project was large
ly based on the nutritive and tonic
properties of this product, showing
the quantity of iron contained by
raisins.
Again the consumption of this pro-
duet was greatly stimulated, so that
this country had to buy largely of
Italian raisins to supply the demand.
Instances like these show how the
desires of the public can be influenced
by solicitation. The producers of ma
ny products and the dealers who dis
tribute them, do not half realize what
sales could be made if their merchan-
disc was properly pushed. Truthful
advertising setting forth the real and
substantial reasons why it is desirable
TO make use of some article will al
ways convince reasonable people and
tend to divert them from spending
money for foolish whims not based on
rational grounds.

STIMULUS OF ADVERTISING

One of the finest examples of what
advertising can do for business is
found in the raisin industry. This
business back in 1913 was in a very
discouraging condition. The growers
held a meeting to see what could be
done to revive the industry. They de-
cided to try advertising, but only 500
could he raised for that purpose, but
this was enough to give them a start.
The effect of this publicity was to
interest many bakers in making raisin
bread. The advertising produced such
good results that the growers kept in
creasing it until they created the habit
of using raisin bread and made it an
important food product all over the
country. This could never have been
done but for generous publicity. II
created a wholly new and tremendous
ly large market for raisins.
In the dull year of 1921, for various
reasons the raisin industry had slow

THINK MISSING MAN SLAIN

County Highway Superintendent F..
]. Terpin was down the line last Mon
day and reports considerable excite
ment in the vicinity of Fairfax and
Spencer, on account Of supposed
murder, which it is presumed took
place there last Sunday or Sunday
night. He said there were several
hundred people out last Monday
searching for the missing man. A
dispatch under Norfolk, Neb., date
line in the Wednesday Sioux City
Journal gives the following account
of the affair:
Walter r. Simmons, arrested here
after he had abandoned bloodstained
automobile near Fairfax, S. D., pur-
chased new suit Of clothing, leaving
a bloodstained suit in the store at
Fairfax and taken the train to Nor
folk, was taken back to Spencer and
Fairfax this afternoon to explain the
disappearance of Frank Paul, Of
Spencer, Neb., owner of the abandd-
oned ear.
Simmons admitted to the police
here, according to Chief of Police
Pilger, that he had driven Paul's car
to Fairfax Monday morning and that
he had employed Paul Sunday eve
ming to drive him into the country,
where he said he had deal on with
some bootleggers. He said Paul left
with one of the bootleggers. He and
another bootlegger, he said, took
Paul s car and were to meet Paul and
his companion at Fort Randall He
said they failed to appear and he and
his companion "split the money"
and separated, Simmons driving the
car to Fairfax and leaving it there.
He said he did not know how the blood
came to be on the car, though he had
noticed it Monday morning. Posses
at Spencer are hunting for some trace
of Paul, the theory being that he was
murdered and his body thrown into
be Missouri river.
Latcr-It is reported that the body
Iof Paul was found some time Tues

without saying something about Mel
lette county and the chance it offers
| for those who want to build real
homes for themselves, what a wonder
full advertisement it would be for us,
and such a campaign, consistently
followed for year or two, would
eventually bring big results and we
would have more farms and farmers,
md living conditions tions xvdea flo
more neighbors, and living condi-
tions and our social life would be
greatly improved.
The Minot Association of Commerce
of Minot, n. D., some time ago
launched such an organization. The
movement up there is known as the
100000 More Neighbors,' and to
date they have organized 80 local
units and have raised $4,000 for i'm
migration purposes. Their goal this
year is so units and $4,000. A ten-
year program is planned and they ex-
pect to raise 100000 a year to carry
on the work. 1t appears to us that
such a campaign cannot help but
bring big results. 1t is something
along Ids line that we need here in
Mellette county, and we would IKE
to see some such effort made. Here
is mighty good creed for such an
organization:
| believe: That the soil of Mel
lette county is wonderfully productive
and that diversified farming pays
we'll That it is land of promise for
the grower of alfalfa, corn, small
grains, dairy and poultry farming,
and pork production That pure-bred
stock anG grains are the means OF

Mellette county is land of homes,
superior schools and fine churches,
GOOD roads and many natural re-
sources.

vcrsations J will hold religiousy to
my faith in Mellette county. That
I will never speak i'll of my state or

hat this is one of the best farming
districts in America, and I will help
make it the home of many more happy
and contented people, That 1 will not

county but what will have in said

tages to be gained by living in Mel

PUT UP WINTER EGGS
WHILE PRICE Is Low

The fact that the price curve
sweeps lowest for market eggs in
April and May offers the hint to the
housewife to, provide now for tie
winter supply of this most wholesome
food.
The use of water glass in preserving
eggs has generally proved satisfact-
Dry and this method has practically
displaced most of the others, accord
ing to G. l.. Stevenson, professor of
poultry husbandry at State college.
If the eggs are fresh, clean, sound
sholed and infertile and are properly
preserved, they will keep well for
year or more and will compare very
favorably with new laid ones.
Dirty, washed or fertile eggs are
more apt to develop taints and rots
and result in losses which are often
charged to the method of preserving.
All that is needed for the operation
is q fve-gallon Jar, some boiled, cooled
water, and quart Of the water glass.
Mix the water glass with ten quarts
of the water, stir thoroughly and pour
over the eggs. A jar of the size indi-
Gated will accommodate fifteen to six
teen dozen eggs. The liquid should
stand an inch or more over the eggs
and the jar should be covered tight
ly and kept in cool, dark, dry cellar
where the temperature holds around
60 degrees. If the eggs are not all
available at one time the solution
may be made up and the eggs added
from time to time.

NUMBER 16.
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT

Every time a notorious criminal
goes to Jail lot of mushy mushies
begin to coddle him.
Excuses are sought, maudLn senti-
ment is created, and in the end the
culprit is often turned loose by a
yellow or purchased jury.
That is one reason why the country
is debauched with crime. If we can't
keep the criminals in Jail, why not
substitute the mushy mushies and cor
rupt Jurors
That, at least, would be some con-
ISOLATION.

A farmer can work ten hours day
on a piece of land and make bare
living. Another farmer can work
eight hours a day on the same land
and bank a good profit each year.
There is n reason.
The successful man studies condi-
tions and analyzes suggestions and
makes improvements as rapidly as it
is possible for him to do so. His re-
turns are in proportion to the activity
of his brain.
The other man is slow to change.
He doesn't take any stock in new
tangled notions" What was good
enough for his father is good enough
for him. And that s all he gets.
When put to practical use brains
become a valuable asset, When mere
~ carried around in a skull they are
little better than burden.

BAKERS PROFIT IS

OF bread, the Joint commission on
agriculture Inquiry said In a re-
port published today. offers q
striking example Of what happens
TO the farmers product In the way
OF costs and profits before 1t
reaches the family table
About 50 cents out OF each dol
lar the consumer pays for bread.
the report said, is absorbed In cost
OF manufacture. The farmers get
only ass cents In the local market
for the wheat needed to produce
It. A survey showed that the
average cost Of getting the wheat
ready for the baking stage was 81
cents. while the average cost of
It into bread was
1915 cents.
"A considerable factor in the
bakers cost OF distribution,
which averages lars cents Of the
consumers dollar, is the service
element" said the report
"0ur inquiry does not indicate
that the baker has exaeted an
undue profit in taking the So
cents from the consumsrs' dollar,
for manufacturing bread and dis
tributing Il to ths retailer"
