Slater, Minnesota Dairy and Food Commissioner, is send- ing out a circular on the queston of the foreign mail order houses that should be read by every local merchant in Minnesota and published in every local news- paper. Mr. Slater’s remedy for the mail order house competition is advertising and he talks like a man who knows the subject. The Pioneer believes the follow- ing extract-from the circular is worthy a place in its columns: St. Paul, Minn., Mar., 23, ’06, This department has - been giving considerable attention to groceries shipped into the state by mail order houses. We have been trying to place before the consumers the fact that many of these goods are illegal under our pure food laws and that this de- partment has no jurisdiction over such shipments. We cannot punish such violators and thus protect the consumers, as wa are able to do when the goods are sold inside the state. It follows as a matter of course, that this department desires to see goods only purchased through local dealers, so that all consumers will receive the protection af- forded by a strict enforcement of our pure food laws. The country merchant must do his duty if he desires to compete with the catalogue house. He must beat him with his own weapon—adyertising. He, too, must have special prices on certain articles if he wishes to hold the home trade. Grocers and country merchants who think they are so located that they cannot advertise success- fully should study the subject of advertising. There is probably Shepps 40¢ Cocoanut, only, a Ib Arm & Hammer Soda, 4 for A 25¢ can Baking Powder for A 12 1-2¢ prune, 3 pounds for sold for 10¢ a pound, sell the box any other place, flat cost.

There are few. country merchants in remote localities . who have | mastered advertising so success- fully that mail order competition does not bother them. This idea that you have lived so longin a town that everybody knows you and you don’t need to advertise is a mistake. This very in- difference to advertising, in- difference to doing business the way business is done in this day and age; is what has enabled -the mail order houses to grow from mere nothing to great concerns. The merchant who can con- vince the people of his section and keep them convinced that his store is the best place to buy this and that article will not lose trade tothe mail order house. Of course, he cannot afford to get out'a catalogue as thick-asa bible but hg can keep an adver- tisementsin his local papers and see that it is changed every week, thus keeping new bargains con- tinually before the public. He should also have a mailing list and send out a circular letter at least once a month. Nothing is more discouraging than beginning an advertising campaign. Results are almost invariably slow at first. It takes pluck—you must keep at it and master it. The mail order houses get trade because they go fishing for it—and you, Mr. Country Merchant can get it too. Will you go fishing for it? Don’t leok upon your country newspaper as an object of charity. There is nota single country newspaper in the state, with a general local circulation which is not able to give full value for ‘money receiyed. The country papers can belp you solve this question if you will give them the chancé. EDWARD K. SLATER, Commissioner. ————— Served Banquet. (Contributed.) Last night at the Methodist church the Blues, who lost in the contest with the Reds, gave the latter a banquet which was unique in _every particular. Three booths, artistically decor- ated. contained the eatables of the evening. The people passed from booth to booth and were served in a most dainty, but liberal manner. Prof. Ritchie acted as toastmaster and did this ina way most admirable. The speakers were very apt ard showed much thought. The prc- gram which was given the fore- part of the evening, consisted cf readings and vocal apd instru- mental music. This young peoples’ society has taken great strides. Over 600 pergons have attended the deyotional meet- ings in 12 Sundays, and although the contest is over, 68 were pres- ent last Sunday evening.

Occur Between Striking Miners and Canadian Police. Lethbridge, Can., April 7.—Serious disturbances have occurred between the striking coal miners and the po- lice. Late in the evening a wrangle occurreéd between nonunion and union men. The mounted police attempted to restore order. They arrested one man, but were immediately surround- ed by 300 sympathizers, including wo- men and children. A hand-to-hand en- counter raged in which sticks and stones were used. The prisoner was taken from the police and one of the latter was seriously injured by a stone. Later in the night the house of a nonunion miner was dynamited. The house was completely wrecked, but no one was seriously hurt. About an hour later an explosion occurred at another house, but little ‘damage was done. About 1 o'clock in the morning the second house was discovered on fire and the police found the premises saturated with coal oil. Everything is now quiet, but the feeling is very bitter and the police have sent for reinforcements. TUSKEGEE’S SILVER JUBILEE. Concluding Day Marked by Several Notable Addresses. Tuskegee, Ala., April 7.—The third and concluding day of Tuskegee’s “silver jubilee” was marked by sev- eral ‘notable addresses, concluding with one by Andrew Carnegie. The morning session was marked by a spirited discussion between Presi- dent Cyrus Northrop of the University of Minuesota and William Lloyd Gar- rison. The former speaker in com- menting on the work at Tuskegee ex- pressed his interest in the education of all the people of the South. He expressed the opinion that the enfranchisement of the mass of the negro race at the close of the Civil war was a colossal blunder. Sharp issue was taken by Mr. Garrison in a dramatic ten-minute address. At the night session the principal speakers were Andrew Carnegie and Bishop Charles B. Galloway of the Southern Methodist church. Mr. Carnegie spoke on “The Educa- tion of the Negro, a National Inter- est.” The very closest attention was pmd the famous finaucier. S A s 4 Will Die of His Injuries. St. Joseph, Mo., April 7.—Simon Stern, charity superintendent, was as- saulted by a man to whom he had re- fused assistance and will die of his injuries.
