THE POWER OF ADVERTISING.

For years. motorists have been Ted to believe that an
eastern lubrcating oil for automobe engines better
than lubricating oil produced in the West
Thousands of barrels Of Pennsylvania ubrcating oils
sold in the West not because the public knows any
tween western and an eastern OIL but because automobile
drivers have been told and have read for years that the
eastern oil furnishes better fabrication.
AS eastern Oh costs more qe TO Inc dact rhat mas to be
ers think they are getting better product
Western oil companies are among the largest in the
world Their crude oil is the other crude oil and
should produce ubrcang oils Of the highest quality but
quality alone in less product will not quickly
offset years of advertising Of old product with which
consumers have become familiar.
Wesemers however, should be interested in developing
industries in this territory and should investigate thor
oughy western products not only oil but other commodi
ties which be produced here rather than shipping them
for 5000 miles.-EXchange

CORN EXHIBIT WEEK
ALL COMMUNITIES

Corn growers of Roosevelt county
should not forget Corn Exhibit Week
at which time they can bring their
exhibits to their town committees and
they will be given a chance to com
pete at the district Corn Show which
will be held at Wolf Point, Novem-
Der 12th-13th- and 18th, where the
best will be selected for the larger
show and sent to the larger eastern
cities to show what we can do with
corn and other seed even a year like
this one.
Take Exhibits To Your Town.
The idea Of having this week desig-
mated is to make it easier for the
farmers to get their exhibits to the
show as all that will be necessary
is that they be brought to their own
town where a committee will take
charge of them. With the wide at
tention- from outsiders on this show
and the extreme keen interest by the
other counties in the northern corn
show district, Roosevelt county will
need an exhibit from every corn and
approved seed grower in its territory.
Southsiders Invited.
Farmers who live south of the
river who make Roosevelt county
towns their trading center are in
cluded in the Northern Montana Corn
Show district and they are also cord
tally invited to exhibit and get the
most possible good out of the Corn
Show.
Another reason for having this
method of gathering exhibits is that
they have to be in by 1900 noon the
first day of the corn show in order
to get them properly entered and
placed and that being the case they
will have to be in before most farm
ers are ready to attend the show Ex-
hibit week will fix it so most Roose-
cit county farmers, who desire to
exhibit, will not have to send them !
in by mail or express.
Premium lists will be out within
the next week and farmers should
eonsult this in making their selec-
lions, and enter in as many classes
and lots as possible-Dan B. Noble,
County Agent.

Undoubtedly something should be done to restore
to jury system the dignity and honor intended for
it. Evasion of jury service should be the exception in
stead of the rule But it is hardly likely that college
course is wanted to bring this about
