TOWNLEY, LADD AND DOCKAGE
Continuing Reply to Mr.. Putney)
To The Independent:

To The Independent:
During the past year l have discus
sed the subject Of marginal difference
advancement to make up for dockage,
risks and cost with several elevators
in this county, and their answer ran
from "about 1-2 cent to l Ia cents
per bushel." Taking 3/4 of one cent
per bushel as the average and based
upon Mr.. Ladd's figures as to totals,
shows an annual loss to the farmers
Of North Dakota, due to the N.P.L.
dockage laws and Ladd rules of
$4,000.
Again, after finding the total loss
n pounds due to dockage, Mr.. Ladd
said: "And they (farmers) pay the
freight to Minneapolis and back"
That can be proven by twisting Of
facts and hypothecations. But there
is no twisting of facts when l say
that farmers have to pay the thresh
bill and hauling to town Of that value
less dockage. Taking the 80 per cent
10 pay 1895 900 per annum on their
thresh bills, which is dead loss. Mr..
Ladd and Mr.. Townley overlooked
these losses to the farmers. !
Let us pause for meditation. We
farmers have been kicking our heads
off at those who take the screenings
OUT of our grain, yet have said moth
ing against those who put the screen
ings IN our wheat bins. This predi-
cation leads to the proper solution of
the dockage problem, viz: Require
all threshermen to obtain a license for
the following reasons or purposes:
/. To protect good threshing and
reward good work.
2. To discourage poor and waste
full threshing.

Aurland Disqualified for Park Board
Must Appoint New Member ..

Carl Aurland, who was recently
elected member of the Minot Park
Board for five years, states that he is
unable to qualify for the office for
the reason that he is interested in one
Of the recent park contracts. This,
according to the statutes, disqualifies
him from holding the position,
Mr.. Aurland was in Hot Springs,
Ark, the day of the election and had
no. idea that his name would be pre-
scented, or he would have declined to
permit his name to be used for the
above reason.
The park board will select men,
Der of the board to fill the place of
r. H. Emerson, whose term expired,
and it is probable that this will be
done at their meeting next Tuesday.
Such a member will hold the office
until the next park board election a
year hence.

Young Groom Too Excited to Pay
Marriage Fee

A young man accompanied by a
.winsome looking girl entered Judge
Murray's office not long ago and the
couple were granted marriage Il
cense. The Judge was asked to tie
the nuptial knot which he did in i'm
nressive manner and the groom was
informed that the fee was five dollars.
Whether the groom was hard Of hear

fer funds, the Judge was unable to
determine, but he failed to come
across.
"That's all right" the big hearted
Judge said later. II am always will

Judge Murray has married ,thous-

A statement published in sew
eral Arizona publications have
appeared to the effect that Ernest
Hall, a former Wickenburg pub
Usher and miner, will not be a
candidate for reelection. Mr..
Hall two weeks ago was said to
be busy preparing a statement
about his connection with the
Ku Klux Klan and giving the
public an insight into his future
plans. It is probable that any
change in his plans recently an
nounced are due to the recent
sale of rich mining property
near Wenden, in which he and
his brother are interested.

In the west freight is being
moved by the roads as offered,
WHICH is due to the fact that
the railway brotherhoods and
maintenance of way employ
ees are not Ia favor of causing
any untold suffering among
their own workers and the
poorer classes. This may be
summed up as reasons why
all the nations brotherhoods
do not strike together. Their
finances are not in condition
to provoke or maintain a na-
tion-wide strike at this time
and can only come when all
plans for a strike settlement

Business Built Upon Advertising.

Business Built Upon Advertising.
The catalogue houses also spend
thousands upon thousands of dollars
In advertising In the mail order publ
cations which look for their circula-
ton to the people Of the small towns
and the rural districts. Advertising In
some Of these mediums costs as much
as from $40 to $50 for a single inch,
yet the mail order houses find 1t profit
able to pay these high rates. Their
business Is built upon advertising and
II they were denied the use of the
mails for their advertising for single
month their business would be de-
stroyed.
In advertising, the local merchants

can beat the mail order houses at their
own game. This does not mean neces-
sarily. only newspaper advertising. al
though that is the big gun in the bat
terry employed by the successful mer-
chant in his battle for trade. Adver-
tising is big word and 1t covers a big
field. There Is no longer to be found
the man who does not believe In adj
vertising. Every merchant believes In
advertising Of some sort. The placing
OF display In show window is ad-
vertising. The only difference between
that kind Of advertising and advertis-
Ing In newspaper Is that where the
one reaches dozens the other reaches
hundreds. Attractive window displays
are, of course, an important adjunct Of
any retail store. They serve their pur-
pose but this purpose is only to attract
the attention Of those who may be
passing by the store. There are other
forms OF advertising, such as personal
solicitation, but printed matter must
always continue to be the chief reli-
ance OF merchants in attracting Gus
toners to their stores.
Advertising Beoets Confidence.
The buying public has learned that
the store which takes the people into
Its confidence through its advertising
is the one in which 1t may expect to
get the best bargains and the most sat
lsIactory treatment. Itknows that the
store which advertises consistently and
regularly has the best and most up-to-
date stocks because this store sells its
goods more rapidly than the one which
does not advertise and. therefore, In
not forced to carry over old stock from
one season to another. The public
knows that the store which advertises
can place lower prices on its goods be-
cause II turns over its stock oftener
than the store which does not adyer-
tise and therefore does not have its
capital tied Up In slow-moying mer
