FOURTH ANNUAL CORN
SHOW nov. 4, 5 AND 6

November 4th, 5th and 9Th will
mark the date of the Fourth An
nual Northern Montana Corn and
Seed Show at Glasgow, an institu-
ton which has done a great deal to
further diversified farming and sum-
mer titled wheat farming in North
ern Montana. Last year Roosevelt
county was the host of this show
and made a very creditable show
ing for a year that was
lively poor in corn production.
Each County's Share
To make a Corn Show it is neces-
sary for each county to do it's share
in the way of exhibits and expenses
and to provide these exhibits each
farmer must contribute literally or
the show will be a failure. Select
exhibits increases the farmers in
terest in raising quality crops be-
sides advertising the quality Of
crops that he can raise. Roosevelt
county this year is going to make
a special effort to get more exhibits
to the Northern Montana Corn Show
than e before and it needs the
support of every farmer interested
in its development.

mercial Importance of the communi-
ty?
Mr.. II. r. Ennis, of Kansas Civ.
IN his address before the convention
of the National Association of Real
Estate Boards at Detroit, stressed
the practical value to the property
owners OF a city in identifying the
community.
The residential districts of our
cities and towns are the most beauti-
fnl IN the world. he pointed out, but
our business districts are downright
ugly. And this is why.
We erect beautiful new buildings
alongside dilapidated old structures
with dirty windows, floors Uttered
with trash, and general unwhole-
some atmosphere. We see unattrac-
tive bill boards scarcely hiding more
unattractive vacant lots filled with
rubbish.
Clean up these places and YOU
profit. is his advice If you are
trying to rent vacant business To-
cation. above all clean it up, finish
the interior and exterior. and put it
in such shape that it will make a
good impression on a prospective
tenant.
If your property adjoins an unat-
tractive lot. the value of your build
ing is automatically reduced by the
poor appearance of its immediate
neighborhood. So exercise all the
influence YOU can to have the old
eyesore removed.
What a fine appearance Charles
Town would present-what an ex-
eellent impression it would make on
every visitor if every old building
were well cleaned kept in repair,
and properly decorated. But It is
no more than the cheapest kind Of
good advertising.
