Don’t speak about it in the hear- ing of agricultural students, but the farmers in Missouri are advertising for help. Japan will learn in time that the United States allows all kinds of people to talk, provided they pay their hall rent. There is a college to teach men how to wait on table. It ought to clude special instruction on how to avoid taking tips. It isn’t any wonder that so many poor ads are put out by small dealers, the proprietors of many ordinary stores give the advertise- ment so little thought and care. They wait until the last date and then hustle their copy to the news- paper. If the proprietor isn’t in- terested in advertising, why wouldn’t it be a good scheme to put it in the hands of a good clerk? Surely in most every store there is one clerk with a pretty good education and a knowledge of what appeals to people. The clerk will take more interest in his work, will do just as much, and will earn a great deal more for the store if such con- fidence is placed in him. Isthe cause of higher prices to be found on the gold-side, or on the good-side of the price ratio? asks E. Laurence Laughlin, Professor of Political Economy, University of Chicago, in a symposium in THE DELINEATOR for April. In the ten years, 1896—1905 new gold has been produced to the value of §,2,- 899,604,500, or about 33 per -cent of the total amount produced from 1493 to 1895 ($8,799,482,080.) But at least $700,000.000 of silver has been replaced by gold in the currencies of the world. Hence the proportion of new supply is reduced to about 25 per cent of the existing stock in 1895. In my judgment that 25 per cent has been consumsd in the arts, or been absorbed by countries needing an increased amount of gold in recent years, and shows in the larger bank reserves. If so, the new demand has about equaled the new supply, and no fall in the value of gold can be assigned to its great new production, A studyof tables of wholesale prices in Europe and the United States shows no serious change in the level of prices. Moreover, if, T T ——— gold be said to be the cause, on the|elsewhere in the Northland. Mrs. J. M.

The Grand Prize. The Grand Prize of the Bemidji Pioneer's Mammoth Contest for the ladies of the Northland is -a $450 Style 16, Mahogany Kimball Piano one of the finest, most scientific con- structed instruments money can buy. Every one appreciates, at the close of a strenous day, the rest that comes from enjoying good music, such as your mood may dictate. Perhaps all alone ' enjoy- ing some familiar song or hymn of your childhood, or that brings backto you the days goneby, andyour sweet. heart, and all that is near and dear to you. Or surrounded by your your friends or neighbors, delight them with a dreamy Nocturne from Chopin or charm them with the matchless majesty of Leiszt or possibly a snatch from the latest Opera. Thats why the Pioneer chose the Kimball, because its metal mechan- ism, scientifically constructed is so easy to operate as to yield to your every mood, enabling you to produce music just as you want to enjoy it. This beautiful tuned instrument is on display in the show window of Bisiar and Murphy where it will remain til the end of the Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Contest when it will be turned over to the lady receiving the second highest number of votes in the contest. District prize. The District Prize of the Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest for the ladie’s of the Northland is a $100 Blue White Diamond Ring. One of the finest stones of its size and weight that has ever been set in a ring in the City of Bemidji. There is nothing that is treasured so by the ladies as a beautiful blue white diamond as it is generally regarded as almost a Sacred treasure through the Association that are as a rule connected with it. They recall happenings and events of former years, scenes of other days ’till their inteiunsic value is far greater than the real. This beautiful ring is on display in Mr. G. T. Baker’s window and can be seen and examined by any who may call. Here it will remain til the close of the Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Coutest for the Ladies of the Northland when it will be awarded to the lady re- ceiving the highest number of votes in District B after the Capitol and Grand Prizes have been awarded.
