same period of 1888 This reduction of %
per cent was not accidental. Efforts of the
highway patrol safety organizations, mag
azines, newspapers and others in spreading
the safety gospel are no doubt largely re-
spOnsible.
oNE-THIRD OF MINNEsOTA's farm
income is derived from dairying. That
statement alone indicates the Importance of
munity which depends almost entirely upon
agriculture for its income. Greater use OF
butter, ice cream, milk, cream, cheese and
other dairy products not only means better
health but bigger income with which to
enjoy that health.
FEW VOTES IN CONGRESS WE'RE
watched more closely than that on the Town
send plan which is regarded as political
dynamite akin to bonus vote Minnesota's
delegation was badly split on the subject,
the record showing five congressman approx
ing and four opposing. Republicans Andre
Alexander was f'paired for" while Farmer
Labor's lone member, Buckler, cast the fifth
vote for the doctor. Opposed to the meas
ure were our own congressman, Andersen,
and two other Republicans, Mas and Young
dahl and Elmer Ryan, Democrat, of the sec
ond district.
CHE ADVERTISES CONSTANTLY,
yet his prices are consistently lower than l
pay at stores less aggressive in sales promo
tion." Many buyer has puzzled over this
! fact, proved over and over by actual cases.
Question is, who pays for the advertis-
ing? Secret of the paradox that merchant
seems to spend more, yet sells for less and
still prospers more than non-advertising
competitors is accurately answered in this
paragraph from an article in Printers Ink:
The effect of advertising on prices is dou-
BILE barreled. Advertising swells demand, and
that swells production and that reduces the
cost of production. Again, advertising steps
up turnover and produces thereby low sell
ing costs. These combined processes result
in savings by mass production and mass sell
ing. Advertised products cost less to produce 3
and less to sell. y
BEST READING IN DAILY NEWS
papers during May concerned the efforts of
England to bring Russia around to her way
OF thinking on the subject of protective al
llances. England wants more than she is
willing to give. Russia isn't signing until
two and two make four on both sides of the
mutual agreement ledger.
Famed for her trained diplomats, Bri-
tain has always managed to get Americas
shirt in diplomatic dealings. Her buyer be-
ware" policy has given her the long end of
many bargain, although at times-ike
promising Palestine to both the Arabs and
JeWs-there has been kickback
England wasn't much concerned about
Russia until Hitler and Mussolini outbuffed
her consistently for several months and got
the upper hand. Now England and France
need potent ally, Russia or the United
States, preferably both. We hope America
can take as good care of herself in diplomatic
circles as Russia is doing.
THE AMERICAN INDIAN PICTURED
neither as scalping savage" nor as men,
Der OF dying race "at the end of the tra'
but as a vital human being passing through
the transitions required by the invasion of an
overwhelming foreign civilization; this is the
portrayal of Indian life in the murals of May
nard Dixon, Just put on view in the Indian Of
flee section of the new department of interior
building. Mr.. Dixon, old friend and
Staunch advocate of the Indian, was chosen
from large field of aspirants for the difficult
and exacting task-etc. ETC. for three type
written pages.
The above is "story'' sent out to news
papers by the United States department of
the interior. Interesting, yes, but we ques-
tlon II 1t serves any useful purpose in the
functions of government if one paper
IN 800 has space for mention of interior
murals, to say nothing of devoting column
OF type to them. To us it is fair examine
OF the frills an unbalanced budget would
cause any business firm to do nicely without.
ANOTHER OF THOSE sWHO'S WHO
fellows was around this week, wanting to
buy $50 worth of Gazette space which he
would sell to the merchants for 1885. A real
salesman, he would have made SO worth of
space bring $3.50 in half the places he call
ed =. and he had pretty good argument:
Those who don't use your space anyway
will be the first to buy; if they don't buy
this the first notwithstanding man that
comes along will get their money and you
won't get cent of it,
Probably we're silly, but we didn't take
his money and he won't be selling in Red
