STEERING BUSINESS SHIPS TO SUCCESS

Fred P. Mann is dry goods merchant in Devils
Lake, North Dakota. He sells half million dol
lars worth OF goods every year in town OF five
thousand population. He has built his businsse
from nothing. His capital has been intelligence.
He stands today an inspiration for any small town
merchant who seeks to build paying business on
a sound foundation.
There thousands of merchants who flop along
without any definite aim except an instructive dc
sire to accomplish These are the merchandising
derelicts The ship that reaches port in time f.
win the cargo is that is steered with definite
purpose and along course thoroughly charte,l.
Mr.. Mann frank. says his success is one OF two
things-senshe buyng and vigorous newspaper
advertising. He spends more money in newspaper
advertising than any small merchant in til. United
States nc answer IS he does more business than
any small merchant in the United States
Half the local merchants in small towns see in
advertising nothing but typographical announce
ments. The money they waste in direct by mail
advrtisng is astounding. There is not skilled adj
vertisng man in the whole United States but US
Is direct mail advertising as a supplement to
the newspaper. Without the newspaper the rest
is useless. If fail to learn by the experience OF
others who have succeeded then we fall behind in
the march of progress.

Red Tape Severity

Many people have interested them
selves in the sad case of Sammy Gold
man sixteen year old Russian boy
whose parents are eligible for citizen
ship but who because of his deficient
mentality must be deported himself.
1t is an awful tragedy to those parents
tc go back to the suffering and priva-
tons that they had hoped to escape
III the new world and their request to
60 to Canada is likewise refused. A
bit of heroism is revealed in the story
by the urgent persuasion of the young
sister of Sammy that she be allowed to
accompany her brother and care for
him and let her parents remain in this
country as she feels that she is young
and can stand the return better than
they whose hope and life might be YER
lily crushed out by the cruelty of their
fate.

T. N. T. BARACA CHICKEN

One of the most successful and en-
joyable events the T. n T. Baracas
cf the First Methodist church ever
put over, aside from the erection OF
their class room, a memorial to the
Toys who went with the colors in the
late war, was pulled off Tuesday night
April 18th.
A few weeks ago the young men
entered contest, and were known as
the Blues and the Reds. The under
standing was that the losing side
should give fish fry at Bowen's Mill
TO the Victors and the ladies of the
Philathea class. The contest proved
very beneficial to the class, the Reds
winning. The Blues commenced to
carry out their part of the contract
Tuesday morning and almost at the
last hour it was found the fish could
not be obtained Undaunted they made
raid on the poultry yards and some
frers were purchased and barbecued.
A cold rain commenced in the aft
crnoon again necessitating a change
i'll arrangements. Still determined to
fulfill their promise, rain or no rain
the Blues took possession of the kit
chenette and work room of the ladies
Aid and by 8 o'clock the eatables be-
gan to arrive in boxes, baskets and
cans. The Blues pulled off their coats
and donned wife aprons and in a
few minutes the place resembled bee
hive.
Two long tables were spread with
newspapers, substitute for table linen,
and paper cartons for plates that the
picnic idea might be predominant
Promptly at $50 the guests were
admitted, the ladies first, 50 in all be-
ing present
The following program was carried
oft:

Burr Stokoe, Supt. S. S., made
short address in behalf of Sunday

Classes for their fine cooperation and
commended the young men for their
boosting spirit and good fellowship
and thought they were practicing in
deed the idea of Courtesy Week" BY
Being so thoughtful of their guests of
the evening.
J. {. Williams, captain of the Reds,
led in giving rousing toast to their
hosts, the Blues.
J. Ollie Peterson, captain of the
Blues, lining up his men, who were
serving, responded by bow of their
heads and ct gives us great pleasure
to serve you"
Mrs Burr Stokoe. teacher of the
Philathea class, with few well-chos-
en- words on behalf of the class, thank
cd their hosts for the delightful privi-
icge of being their honored guests, and
assured them when needed, to call up
on them.
Whereupon some Baraca called out
How about washing the Dishes" Up
on leaving the table, Mrs. Stokoe was
requested to take charge of the enter
tanning in the Epworth League room.
While the Blues proceeded to prove
their abaility as dishwashers, for in
less than half all hour they were ready
to join the jolly crowd.

tertainment the class photographer

Banning the Slot Machines

The popularity of this device is on
the wane even as a license paying
concern in the cities. Happily, civic
revenue is getting to be less. valued
in some cities at least than individual
interests of the people particularly
the children who are the ones who lit
orally waste their pennies in these ma
chimes. Were the returns in weight
true or the CONNECTIONS pure still the
plan is opposed to the cultivation OF
thrift as now taught in the schools
with encouragement given for penny
savings, but all too often the automatic
control of these machines gets out of
order and no return is made whatever
and the effect is bad. Columbus had a
license of $50 each from these ma
chimes and is paying back one-half the
Tee to those who surrender their IL
censeS since their recent action to re-
