CHARGE ENTERED
/ OF RADIO FORGERY
Recorded Instance Comes to
Light as Result of McMil-
Ian's Arctic Voyage.

What is believed TO be the first in
stance OF radio forgery ever recorded
has come to light as a result of the
arctic voyage of DR.. Donald 5. Mac
MILAN, correspondent of The Star,
whose schooner Bowdoin is now at
her Greenland winter station, carry
ing radio equipment.
A message purporting to have been
sent by Macmillan by radio telephone
was picked up by Philadelphia am
ateur giving details of the voyage.
The explorers wireless equipment,
however. does not include apparatus
for transmitting by telephone. His
only transmitting equipment is con-
structed for telegraph code.
Report Appears in Newspapers.
The purported message, which has
no effect on the amateurs listening
for Macmillan dispatches, was re-
caived by Ralph w. McKelvey. secre-
tary of a Philadelphia trust company
at his country home in the Pocono
mountains. Reports OF 1t were pup-
lished in a Philadelphia newspaper.
The speaker impersonating Mac
MILAN said his ship was hemmed IN
by ice, but that the prospects were
bright and all of the expedition party
were we'll
The message. in which the voice
moduIations were distinct, was in
terrupted by the resumption OF
broadcasting at a station compare
lively near the recipient
The Philadelphia banker got the
message before an authentic radio
dispatch from Macmillan was re-
ceived by j. Barnsoley of Prince
Rupert British Columbia. To the
latter the Bowdoin reported her posi-
tion as ten miles north of Etah and
said all on board were well.
Sends Messages for Reinying.
Other messages for relaying to
destinations in the United States,
were sent by Donald Mix, the mem
ber of the American Radio Relay
League who sailed as the Bowdoin's S
operator last summer.
Mix reported to the British Column
bia station that he was hearing mes
sages from all districts in America
Officials of the Radio Relay League
and other experts believe that within
q short time the possibility of the
Bowdoin's sending clear messages
steadily will he greatly increased by
the lengthening period Of darkness
each day. Darkness aids radio and
the arctic long summer day is now
giving way TO longer nights.

The Sign of Musical Prestige
IN this community
Where you will find it-and avhy

There are two vital questions
every purchaser of a musical
instrument should ask before
coming to a definite decision:
'FWhae Ii the Standing of the
merchant with whom ann
dealing as local institu-
tion?"
'fWhss is the standing of the
manufacturer whose name
the instrument bears as
national institution?"
A satisfactory answer TO both
should be obtained, irrespective
of any other consideration

Music for the home is SO inn

tinues, with farmers who have
signed explaining the plan to
their neighbors who have not.
Leaders expect 80 per cent to be

PUTTING LIFE
INTO BUSINESS
A Good Story on What Per-
sistent Advertising
Will Do.

The following article Is taken
from a talk delivered by Thomas
X Kelly. Minneapolis. at the
North Dakota retail merchants
convention Ia Minot. June 18Th.
Mr.. Kelley Is one ~ the big pub
lcity men In the Northwest and
student OF advertising His
story Is very enlightening and
whether the reader II a merchant
or not Il will be found interest
Ing reading.
Let me illustrate by an exam
pie taken right from North Da-
kota as TO what advertising will
do for a merchant.
1t happened 10 be my good for
tune about a quarter of a cen
fury ago to cultivate the ac-
quaintance of one Of North Da-
kota's finest business men, locat-
ed at Kenmare. North Dakota.
He was conducting a small gen.
eral store meeting his trials dai-
ly with a smile Notwithstanding
the many discouraging features
because of the unsettled district,
poor crops and lack of capital, re-
alizing that there are no short
cuts TO success, and having con-
fidence in the resources of his
district and faith in the people
in his territory regarding their
ability to cultivate the soil along
profitable lines.
He felt that eventually he
would become one Of the leading
merchants of the Northwest
through the publicity route,
namely, advertising.
During the latter part of his
business career and before meet
ing with fatal accident one eve
ming while operating a tractor on
his farm during seeding time, he
had experienced seven consecu-
tive years of crop failure in his
district.
Notwithstanding the scarcity
of money he increased his bust
ness steadily each year during
these seven years of crop fail
ures, through advertising. If he
had not had that indominable
faith in advertising he might per-
haps have met with financial dis
aster, but having the vision to
analyZe the income of the far
mers within seventy-fve to one
hundred miles of Kenmare he
reached it each week with store
advertising put out through the
newspapers and by direct mail,
His store expanded in trade
year by year, and he made one
of the biggest records of any
merchant in the state. This
statement can be verified by al.
most any prominent business
man in North Dakota, and the
merchant in question was none
other than my good friend, Peter
Bertelson, whom | really believe
was one Of the best merchants
that ever conducted a business
in the state of North Dakota. II
he were living today he would
have a department store that
would be superior TO any mer
chandise emporium you now hav,
in the state.
There is no more authentic in

their goods in all parts of the
country.
Today the Northwest sells its
shoes, furs, dry goods, clothing,
farm machinery, and in fact,
merchandise of every description
into every state of the Union.
Advertising has created this
market.
Realize what advertising has
done for the Eastman Kodak Co.
They started business in 1880,
and today are recognized as be-
ing one of the most conspicuous
advertising successes in the
world. You'd naturally think
they were born rich through the
big capital they have at the pres
ent time, but from small be-
ginning and having faith in adj
vertising they have reached their
marked success.
When a firm can sell its Root
Beer at every soda fountain in
America through advertising, it's
time the retail merchants sat up
and took notice. This is exactly
what the Chas f. Hire Company
does, and they started with an
advertising space of a few inches
in a local paper. Yet today they
are one of the biggest advertisers
in the country.
Advertising all good advertis-
ing paints wonderful opportuni-
ties to the public, and draws re-
suits. These pictures are painted
through words rightly chosen
mental pictures that make us
alive to new ideas which would
otherwise remain lost in our
brain. The word artist, truly as
any artist with his Ipaint brush
and easel, paints his woods,
fields, storms. his glorius adven-
lures, and through the mental
pictures his words paint, lead us
into new fields of thought.
This great sales garden that
every merchant has can be cult
waited through advertising. There
are no copyrights or trade marks
for any chosen ones; we all have
the same privilege.
In Minneapolis we have a re-
tail shoe store located outside of
the high rent district established
many years, and which by syste-
matte newspaper advertising sold
last year over $2,OOO,0OO worth
of shoes. Their business has
been erected upon this solid
foundation, and their advertis-
ing today, high as it is in actual
dollars and cents, yet is very
small, for it does not amount to
one-half of one per cent of the
volume of business they enjoy.
1t was not the amount of space
that was purchased in the news
paper that counts, but it is what
is said. It's the solemn duty of
every merchant to patronize his
newspapers. The newspaper
molds public opinion and there
is no better profit bearing mis-
sionary in existence today than
the newspaper.

hand, and you should act as its
left hand. In blending your
thoughts, your ideas, with your
newspapers, your opportunity is
equal to the richest comfort re-
tail merchant can enjoy.
In talking with a friend of
mine, who conducts furniture
store in a small town of only 500
people, he was complaining bit
terly about his improbable store.
| inquired about his advertis-
ing expenditures, and he answer

| gave the impression to this
young furniture dealer that he
alone was the failure not the
newspaper, and upon making a
few inquiries about his store |
found he had five dining room
sets in the store that he would
like very much to move.
| advised him to purchase a
newspaper space fourteen inches
by two columns, twenty-eight
inches at forty cents an inch, and
expend $11.20 to advertise these
dining room sets. The following
is an ad | wrote for him:

formation that can render that
substantiates the power Of good
advertising than this history OF
the Bertelson business at Ken
lmare, North Dakota, during the
personal management of Mr.. Pet
err Bertelson.
Most Of the big firms today
ninety-five per cent Of them
have erected their gigantic bust
ness through advertising, which
was started in a very small way.
The merchant who will adver.
tise consistently, regardless of
the amount of space he may pur-
chase, and who is thoroughly sold
on advertising, is the man who
will achieve remarkable results
II is by consistent, careful plan
ming and good management. not
by the size of the advertising
campaign, that good results show
up proftably. Therefore, the
merchant who has only a small
amount Of money for advertising
available should not conclude
that there is no use for him to
advertise.
There is no better instance that
| can cite than John Wanamaker
who at the end of his first days
business had sold $24.67 worth of
goods, and the following day ex-
tended $24.00 for advertising and
retained the &c for change.
Wanamaker practically pulled
himself up by his boots. He
passed away a short time ago,
leaving an estate of $4,000, 900.
No merchant should be afraid
10 advertise by reason of the
large figures that are quoted as
20 the cost of advertising cam
paigns today. Business is no
different today than it was 25
years ago. I've heard merchants
repeatedly say, What chance
have | got to advertise against
mail order houses, big depart
ment stores, and such institu-
tons" But realize how Sears
Roebuck started spending less
than a SO bill in their first ad-
campaign to sell
watches.
Consider also l.. Waterman
Company, a firm that spends hun
dreds of thousands dollars on ad-
vertising today. and started out
with an appropriation of $62.50.
II is reported that the entire
capital of VIM, Wrigley, the gum
man, when he started was S32.
Only a few years ago Wrigley ex-
pended $500. 900 in one advertis-
ing campaign in New York City
alone.
Repeatedly we read the adver-
Using of The Royal Baking Pow
der Company and their wonder
full success. am informed they
started in small way at Fort
Wayne, Indiana, and that their
first advertising campaign con.
sisted of a very small space in
one of the local papers. Adver-
Using created expansion and f.
nally the firm moved to New
York City.
II was only a few years ago
that some of the big wholesalers
and manufacturers of the North
west were under the impression
that they should confne their
business to just few of the
Northwest states, but they be-
came students in the advertising
profession and the result is that
these same wholesalers and man.

Using have created a demand for

Don't
Dribble
Your
Money
Away
-

Your wish is to become
the owner of something
worth while. Something
that will make you better,
happier and more useful. It
may be a beautiful home, a
good farm, a grand piano, an
automobile, a trip abroad, a
visit to California or some
other thing worthy of attain
ment that you have in mind.
There is no reason why
your wish should not be full
filled; but your dreams must
be followed up with resolve
and action. You must work
with that end in view.
Most people do work, but
only a few attain the desired
goal. Why is that? They
dribble their money away.
They spend nickle here, a
dime there and a quarter or
a dollar elsewhere. When
the week or the month is
out, the last penny is spent.
Sometimes, if we have made
a practice of saying charge
it, it will not even reach
around. We have spent more
than we have earned, and we
are on the down grade. If
we find ourselves there the
only salvation is to put on
the brakes good and hard at
once. 1t will be very diff
cult to climb to the top
again, but it can be done.
Now, it is just as easy to
save money as it is to drib-
bic it away. If we keep our
nickles and dimes together
they make in a very short
time dollars. Just make it
a practice to drop in at the
bank with your loose change,
get a deposit receipt and
store it away; the bank will
do the rest-add your drib-
blings together, pay you in
terest on it, and surprise you
at the end of the year with a
statement of your sum total.
Now, understand, this does
not mean that you should be
a miser. 1t only means that
you should be wise in deny
ing yourself some of the mi
nor and questionable pleas
ures in order to realize some
of the greater things of life.
Young man and young wo-
man, try this manner of saw
ing. You will be pleased
with the result. You will
value yourself a better citi-
zen, and rightly so, and your
fellowmen will esteem you
more.

Mrs. Aurelia Henry Reinhardt.
president of the American Associa-
tion of University Women, and also
president of Mills College, in Cali
fornia, was in Washington last week
and gave a general statement as to
the policy of the organization for the
present season.
when the American Association of
University Women was first organ
ized we found that the biggest prob
lem we had to consider was the prob
lem of getting colleges for women
and places for them in co-educational
institutions. Today. however. that
problem has been set aside and is be-
ing well handled. We are now faced
with the twofold problem of the i'm
tional work with the child in the ele-
mentary school. ard considering the
national and international effects of
college-bred women.
Our organization has gone on
record as supporting the world court
and the league of nations We are
putting forth efforts in lobbying for
the separate educational department
which would be provided by the pas
sage of the Sterling-Towner bill.
We have 10000 women who are
members and who show their interest
to be primarily in the educational
bills and measures. In PSI towns and
cities groups of college women are
velopment of both the elementary
education problem and the matter of
placing the college women in COM
munity and business life
The national organizations next
meeting will be held in Washington
in April. and an international meet
ing Of college women from all over
the world will be held in Christiania
Norway. next summer, beginning July
2s. This will be the third interna-
tional biennial meeting
