the bill or to the community.
In the first place, an ad which runs
from one years end to another with
out change is worthless to any firm
whose business is to sell lumber, OF
hardware, or paint, or cement, or fur
niture or real estate, or any other
materials or things which go into the
building and furnishing of a home.
The Courier Reporter doesn't want
that kind of advertising.
We are strongly in favor of the
home building idea. We want to see
more homes built in Kennewick. We
know there are any number of citi-
zens who would like to own their
homes. But telling them in full
the cooperation of the business men
stop paying rent and own their own
homes isn't going to help finance their
home building desires. If there is a
possibility of getting any homes built
in Kennewick, let's not work on the
fellow who wants to build but can't,
but on the fellow who has the money
and might be induced to finance a
home building proposition. Whenev-
er we are able to come out with full
page ad and tell the renter that thru
the cooperation of the business men
a plan has been worked out whereby
he can build or buy home and pay
for it on an easy payment plan, no
further arguments will be needed to
induce him to own his own home.
This paper would call that construc-
tive, worthwhile advertising.
Another thing, just how much SELL
ing power would "home building" ad
have run next January with a foot of
snow on the ground and the mercury
below zero? These ads were to start
now and run until next May.
These are some of the reasons why

WE MAY BE WRONG

IN the last issue of The Dope Sheet
= Price & Lincoln call attention to
the fact that the advertisements in
serted in The Courier Reporter each
week, while intended primarily to in
crease the business of the advertisers,
are Of no small value to those who
read them.
This statement is of more than
passing interest for the reason that
it comes from Mr.. Price, who, this
paper believes, is entitled to speak
authoritatively on the question of adj
vertising. Mr.. Price is making his
advertising pay-not only his firm,
but those who read it and Indirectly
the community in general. This
should be the true mission of all adj
vertising and it must be the mission
of all successful advertising for to be
successful it must pay those who buy
as wei1 as those who sell.
Advertising is not luxury, an ex-
travagance nor waste. In a recent
article on advertising, Roger w. Bah
son says that constructive advertising
is the most economical and effective
method of craftsmanship ever devised.
He says that surveys and investiga-
lions show that advertising, instead of
adding to, actually lowers the cost of
goods to the consumer. In other words
the slogan ut pays to ADVERTISE" has
dual significance. 1t pays the con-
sumner as well as the producer.
The editor of the Courier-Reporter
believes this. If he did not he would
seek some other method of making his
bread and butter than operating an
advertising medium. He doesn't be-
lieve that all advertising pays. AS a
matter of fact he is of the opinion
that many thousands of dollars are
wasted on advertising, but not on the
kind Babson calls constructive adver-
Using. He further believes that it
is as much the duty of a newspaper,
such as The Courier-Reporter, to adj
wise its advertisers against the vast
ing of their dollars on worthless adj
vertising as it is to induce them to
spend their dollars for constructive
advertising.
But do newspapers ever do this !?
The Courier-Reporter tries to. Only
this week it turned down an offer
OF IL full pages of advertising at it's
regular rates for the reason that it
could not see results in it for the adj
vertisers.
The offer was made by an advertis-
ing firm which is putting on a home
building campaign. Their proposition
was to sell to the business men the
IL pages at rate which would not
only net this paper its regular rate
but pay them for their services. The
ads were to run one each month for
twelve months. The top half of the
page was to be cut setting forth
reasons why the aim of every resi-
dent should be to own his own home.
This was to be changed each month.
The lower half was to be devoted to
the advertisements of the contribut-
ing business firms These ads were
to run without change during the year.
From a dollars and cents stand
point the proposition meant easy
money to The Courier Reporter. 1t
meant full page ad each month at
practically no cost for composition.
This paper turned the proposition
down because it could not see in it

LICENSES
DENIED TWO
Attorney-General Says Licen'
sees Must Obey the Law

Applications for state licenses have
been denied Mrs. Pearl Hoffman,
operating soft drink and cigar
stand at 2O2 Front street, Fargo, and
S. Steinman, operating pool hall
and soft drink business at 210 Front
street, Fargo, by Attorney General
George Shafer. The persons denied
applications may appeal to the courts.
The Attorney General denied the
licenses in each case on the ground
that liquor had been seized in them,
that SteinmaH had pleaded guilty to
such an offense and had been found
guilty of other violations of the law
and that Ben Hoffman, husband OF
Mrs. Hoffman, had pleaded guilty to
violating the liquor laws.
The findings, conclusions and or
der denying application for license
was issued by Mr.. Shafer upon the
record Of evidence taken before
deputy who held hearings at Fargo
It is to be the policy of the Attor-
ney- General to conduct such hearings
when there appears doubt as to
whether license to conduct business
licensed should be granted, and to
decide upon the evidence.

James Milloy, of Minot, A. of
c., Reports Discussions
With Business Men
GOOD IN NORTHWEST

Business interests in western North
Dakota generally are we'll satisfied
with conditions, James Milloy, secre-
tary of the Minot Association OF
Commerce, said in Bismarck today.
There is, however, he added, too
much calamity bowling" in the east
ern part of the state, which Injuries
the entire state.
Mr.. Milloy was in Bismarck today,
returning from Dickinson on bus
mess. He said he talked with two
business men in Dickinson and Man.
dan who said business conditions
were good, but expressed surprise.
"There is no need to be surprised" !"
Mr.. Milloy said. "They ought to be
surprised if they are not good. There
is too much stability to this western
country. One cannot figure on the
basis Of conditions in 1890 and 1875
when there were few homesteads
scattered over the prairies.
"The Southwest corner of the state
is in good shape, not booming, and
crops generally are fair, somewhat
spotted. There is no danger of going
back to the times in 1917 and 1918
when things really were bad. The
Ignite industry brings probably a
million dollars a year in Burleigh
county alone. Interests in the section
are more diversified than ever be-
fore.
"Bank clearings show an increase,
and so do postal receipts. So why
argue about conditions? Facts are
facts"
With regard to the northwestern
part of the state he said that the
Minot section this year is in equally
as good shape as last year, perhaps
better. There is good crop from
Donnybrook west, almost as good as
last year, the biggest crop in man,
years. The crop ia spotted but on the
whole good, he added.
Many farmers have had a difficult
time, he said, but in discussing bus.
mess conditions the whole field must
be surveyed, and it gives good ground
for optimism. he added.
