WHY DO THEY DO ITe

The Herald often wondered why it is that
stranger come into Sauk Centre with some no.
city advertising plan and find willing victims to ia
for his scheme but it appears that Sauk Centre bu
mess men not the only ones who hand the
money to strangers for advertising of little {
no value. August Erickson, of the Springfield AZ
vance, had heart to heart talk with his merchant
on this subject last week and this is what Angus
said:
A Word to Businessmen
This is going to be straight talk. It is go
ing to be the truth, and it's the truth that hurts.
A stranger can step into business house and
pick the pockets of businessman while he
looks and consents to being held up. local
man will follow with legitimate proposition and
wall of suspicion arises between them Why
is this? We wish we knew.
Ten days ago three young men dropped into
Lanesboro and collected $25 for ads % cards
to be put up in hotel rooms at a local hotel. The
cards cost them So, but the order not left
with the local printer and who knows if it ever
will be executed? In the Lanesboro paper where
we read this, advertising of local business houses
almost entirely lacking. We can't see how
the paper pay expenses. Lanesboro is a
good town and has good paper, but there is
something wrong with the merchants, who will
give good money to strangers for advertising
of little value and withhold patronage from
their local newspaper that offers them 1000 cir
cuaton among the people whose patronage is
needed to keep Lanesboro from bankruptcy.
Here's another from the Wells Mirror. In one
hour two strangers collected $4500 from nine
businessmen for ads on hotel cards that cost
just $3.50 to print, leaving them net profit of
$3.50 for one hours work. That much money
thrown away.
Here's another from the st. Peter Herald. Two
smooth talking strangers breezed into town,
lined up with unsuspecting pastor and car
red off $53 for three hours polite pocket picking.
They sold ads card that brought them $62
and the cards cost just SO to print.
What is the matter with small town business
men? If the Advance-Press charged local busi-
nessmen $62 for advertising costing SO to pro-
duce, would be (and should be- branded as
robbers and would be out of business.
But with strangers, that's different.
Years ago wise said, mo man is with
out honor in his own country" It is just
true today. A stranger can get by with any
thing short of murder. But the man who lives
in town and boosts for the town and pays
taxes in the town and contributes to all worthy
causes in the town sometimes has hard time
making living in legitimate line of business.
These not exaggerated cases. They all ap-
peared in the home town papers of Lanesboro,
Wells and st. Peter within the past few weeks.
And all three towns poor advertising towns
as far as local newspapers are concerned.

modify, is being fostered by the
farm board in the hope that they,
too, will put themselves in posi-
ton to take full advantage of the
provisions of the agricultural mar
keting act.
The Farmers National Grain
Corporation is organized on a
strictly cooperative basis which
will make use-to the greatest ex-
tent possible-of all existing farm
crowned grain marketing facili-
ties. The organization will have
adequate capital and if given the
support of existing farmer-owned
grain marketing associations will
handle annually a volume consid-
erably in excess of 5O0,00,0O0 BUSH
els of all grains General and ac-
tive management of the corpora
ton will be in the hands of gen.
eral manager who, the bylaws pro-
vide shall be a person acceptable
to the said federal farm board"
This corporation provides a me-
dunn through which the federal
farm board may make loans to CO.
operative grain marketing assccia-
tions, both for current marketing
purposes and for the requirement
of physical facilities. Such an or
ganization, if properly managed
and properly supported by the
farmer-owned grain marketing as
sociations should not only reduce
local and terminal marketing costs
and eliminate much waste in mar
keting, but also should exert
strong influence toward greater
price stabilization.

LAND ENOUGH NOW

Opposition to the further expenditure of govern
ment funds land reclamation projects at present
voiced by the Commissioners of Agriculture of
the Southern states at their recent conference held
in Memphis
These commissioners also petitoned Congress
and passed resolutions urging the defeat of the $15,
100000 reclamation appropriation bill now pending.
The argument is made that there is necessity
for bringing more land under cultivation at great
expense when millions of have been abandoned
during the past 25 years. largely because it has been
found improbable to cultivate them.
AS a better means of utilizing these waste lands
it is recommended that they be reforested, thus
within few years be made to produce timber which
would be of benefit to the and to the public
Congress has only recently authorized appropria-
tions amounting to $5O0,O00,O00 to aid in marketing
surplus crops. 1t would absurd to appropriate
other millions to bring land into cultivation
and make greater the surplus of farm products.
It would appear that the millennium is near at

following day, sunday, it seemed

Monday, was busy day for the
church people here. The Cambridge

met for an all day meeting, includ-
ing a night session, and the visitors
were to be fed from the fat that can
be scraped from this part of the
land. We were not privileged to be
present, except a short time at the
day sessions, but it was our obser-
vation that it was well worth while
The first part of the night session
was young peoples program. The
orchestra, the Huff sisters, (daugh~
ters of Rev. Huff with the mother
presiding at the piano, sang a beau
tiful duet; solo by Miss McMullen
of Oakland; some excellent talent
from Cambridge, altogether made it
interesting. This was followed by
Rev. Dean of Belle Valley, who occu-
pied the pulpit and held the atten-

useful and characteristic way OF
preaching. Two of the high lights
at the day meeting remained for
