WITHERSPOON SPEAKS
Extend Trade Territory BY
Advertising Bismarck He
Tells Audience

"The only way to extend your
trade territory is to advertise, since
people believe what they read," said
W. r. Witherspoon of st. Paul in an
address at the annual dinner meet
ing Of the Bismarck Association of
Commerce, held at the Grand Pacific
hotel Monday evening. !. Advertise
Bismarck" was the theme running
through Mr.. Witherspoon's address,
the subject of which was "Coopera-
tion and Community Development" )"
Trade extension is the real large
problem confronting Bismarck, the
speaker said. He urged merchants
to describe their merchandise fully
in their advertising, and to see that
their clerks were we'll informed con-
cerning the merchandise which they
are selling, so that they can give the
customer all the information pos
sible about it.
There are two types Of towns and
one type of community and each is
easily distinguished from the other,
said Mr.. Withcrspoon. "The first
type of town is that which has no
organization Of any kind, and con-
second type Of town is that where a
few citizens spasmodically get the
idea that they want to do some
thing so they organize a chamber
of commerce, collect dues, rent some
rooms, put in few card tables and
then sit down and play rummy the
balance Of the year. Such a town il
satisfied in itself and makes no ad
sancement.
"Thc ono type of community j!
nat where the community spirit il
% big and broad that the men ant
s1omen look forward, 90 years ant
Ian for their children"
Compliments Bismarck
CHASING Bismarck as that type o.
ommunity, the speaker compliment
d the city highly for it's clean ant
ap-to-the-minute appearance. its fin
paved streets, its large business
houses and its beautiful residences
The experience Of st. Paul fev
5ears ago in getting the various or
ganizations together to work for tn
common good was cited by Mr.
Witherspoon, who said that cooper
alton is nothing more than working
together for the common good"
The speaker urged the Association
Of Commerce to get behind the pro
ject Of establishing a playground TO
children. saying that il the childrel
are kept busy and off the streets
much Of the so-called "depravtiy 0
youth" will be done away with. IL
also suggested that the women o

TEAMWORK IS

Chicago. Nov. 30 -GP)-Arricul-

teamwork among agricultural organ
izations and Of liberal state and ma
tional associations. Jewel Mays Of
Jefferson City, Mo-, president of the
National Association of Commission

dress today.
Since the end Of l9l8-especially
since l920-thc farming business
has been through the burning cmbers
of world laid waste by war, the
only business in the United States
that built food factories without
cost-plus or other guaranty against
the aftermaths of peacetime," he
said.
"The post war shrinkage of land
and livestock has bankruptcd it's
hundreds Of thousands. Land values
are still at low cbb, but whispering
of better promise. In my opinion it
is goodly time to invest in well
located, low priced rural real estate. :"
Concerted Effort Needed
Farming, "a business which natural
ly tends to develop individmniism
lacks teamwork more than any
other, he said, in stressing the need
for concerted efforts.
He spoke Of the "ever-presenl
menacing dangers Of agricultural or
CARNATIONS taking sides in partisan
politics." but observed that the farm

COOPERATION NOT CURE.AIL
FOR PROBLEMS OF THE FARMER

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-LP)-Cooperativc
organization in farm marketing is a
great step forward but it is not a
cure-all for the farmers problems,
Chris L. Christensen, chief of the new
federal division of cooperative market
ing, told q joint session of state
marketing officials and the national
association Of commissioners, secre-
taries and departments Of agriculture
today.
Organization in itself does not
solve the marketing problem but
simply creates machinery to do SO,
and its success, he said, depends
largely on how intelligently it is ap-
piled and directed.
Cooperation in marketing, he
pointed out, goes even further into
the agricultural situation, in that it
must be recognized AZ a medium for
better farm production as we'll as
marketing.
Cooperative organization has now
developed as indicated by an Increase
in aggregate volume Of business, from
POoOpOVVtVVV III AOAO W &6p4VO,VVO,UVV
In 1925, to the point where, he said,
arises problems Of management, mer-
chandising and finance demanding the
assistance Of scientific research.
Research IL Government Activity
This research now becomes directly
government activity, Mr.. Christensen
outlined. through the marketing act
passed by the last congress.
The congressional act he saw as
significant in another phase, as in
dicating the governments present
policy toward the farmers coopera-
tive movement, and 1T is made clear
that ct the present time at least, the
governments relationship and activi-
ties shall consist Of research, educa-
tion and service, and that the federal
government shall not exercise any
supervisory or regulatory powers over
farmers cooperative organizations.
At present. Mr.. Chrictensen said

tory and present marketing opera
tions for various groups Of products

the association through E. H. L. Yes
perman Of the Poster Advertising
company.
Originated in Denmark
North Dakota, in common. with
every other state in the Union, is now
conducting its nineteenth annual sale
of Christmas seals. The idea Of using
the penny sticker to help tubercuqar
children was first conceived by Einar
Hoelboell, postal clerk in Denmark.
The seals were first sold in the
United States in 1907 under the aus
pices Of the Red Cross. The funds
derived from the sale built the first
tuberculosis sanitarium in Delaware.
This sale was sponsored by Miss
Emily Bissell Of Wilmington, Della
ware, who was influenced by an ar
ticle written by Jacob Reiss IN the
"Outlook." In 1919 the Anti -Tuber-
culosis Association took over the sale
Of the seals and since that time the
cross Of the Red Cross hes been re-
placed by the double barred cross Of
the association.
The seals were first sold in North
Dakota In 1909 by the newly organix-

More Sinister Campaign
This became known today. Ac-

This under-surface campaign is

Of private detectives, as was the

Witnesses Intimidated
Witnesses are being questioned and
some OF them have been intimidated.
One of the leading spirits in the
under-cover work Of the defense is
private detective whose brother was

years ago.
At the time of the charges against
the brother, the present Hall de-

In the under-cover work being
done, special emphasis is being
laid on efforts to undermine the
value OF Mrs. Jane Gibson's story
that Mrs. Hall and Carpenter and

The work OF the Publicity Bureau
Is largely anonymous.

CYCLONE
BY JOHN PAGE

MEXICO CITY, Sept. o.
With all lines Of communica-
tion paralyzed and only
ominous silence from q hum
dred square miles Of territory
in Vera Cruz Statey laid waste
by the tropical hurricane
which swept over the region
yesterday, the outside world
today could only guess at the
extent of the damage and the
loss Of life in the isolated
region.
Swept by Tidal Wave
Fragmentary wireless reports
received here from Vera Cruz City
stated the hurricane was accom-
panied by a tidal wave. The
principal parts Of the city were
reported under five feet of water,
which was still rising.
Fifty smaller centers Of popu-
lation, including Cordoba and Ja-
lapa, were struck by the fury Of
the storm, and dozens Of the
smaller villages were virtually
wiped off the map.
Four Steamers Wrecked
Four steamers in Vera Cruz har-
Dor were reported sunk and their
crews lost. Although government
officials say 1t Is impossible at
present to accurately estimate the
extent Of the storm damage and
the loss OF life, it IL feared that
hundreds have persisted.
Efforts by the American embassy
to communicate with the American
consulate in Vera Crus and ascer.
tain whether any American lives
were lost have been unsuccessful.
