While both of these are more or less true, advertising is nothing but the giving of business news with the purpose of creating a new want or suppyling an exist- It is readily seen that there is no limit to the accomplishment of good advertising, as there is no limit to the wants alread created or that might be created. The merchant is a dead one who does not realize that there are starving millions awaiting for him to satisfy their want or create for them new wants. create new wants and satisfy existing wants is no new thing, as the Egyptians used handbills and posters made The advertising idea originated Some present day merchants haven't got the idea ‘With present day opportunities to advertise there is no limit to what one may accomplish in business lines. The local merchant may easily double his local business. He has through the local paper a wonderfully cheap way to gain publicity. There is no newspaper read like the local paper, especially by the women, and the women do over ninety per cent of the trading. This advertising idea to Printing was invented less thirty centuries Copyright 1912 by Geo. E. Patterson. MISS EDDY COOKS EGGS. Served Them in Four Different Ways at the Demonstration.

The demonstration yesterday Was the third of the series which Miss| Eddy is giving and the fourth will be given in about two weeks. The original plan was to give but four demonstrations but if the interest shown on the first three is shown on the fourth it is probable that the series Wwill be extended and other kinds of food discussed.

A BUSINESS TALK Socialists Say Meeting Tomorrow a 8 p-m. Will Not Be For Elec- . tion Issues. RINGDAL AND DAN LAWLER _ Will Speak in City Hall Oct. 28—~ Are Opposing Nelson and Eberhart Barnstorming politicians are be= ginning to make regular trips to Bes midji and from now until electiom time, the city will be the center of the poiltical activity of this part eof the state. Republican candidates are touring the state in a special traim and will go to Crookston but it hag not yet been decided whether or mot they will come here. In the city hall last evening, Rev. David Morgan, candidate for goverm- or on the Socialist ticket addressed about 200 people. There were many ladies in the audience. Rev. Morgan outlined his platform and stated the principles on which the Socialist campaign is being based. Tomorrow evening at 8 p. m., J. S. Ingalls, candidate for congress- man at large against James Mana~ han, Carl Buell and W. G. Calder~ wood, will make an address to the business men of Bemidji. The Social~ ists of Bemidji who are bringing him here state that politics will be lef& out of the discussion and that it wil} be a business talk only. “He will prove to you,” said Dr. Larson this morning”, that the man who has less than $100,000 now will have much less at the end of tem vears than he has now. This is a business talk for business men and every wide-awake man in Bemidji should hear Ingalls Sunday night. Polities will play no part in the speech.” The Socialist speakers will be fol- lowed on Monday evening by P. M. Ringdal, Dan W. Lawler and other Democratic speakers who will arrive in the city on Monday afternoon. Mr. Ringdal is a Crookston man who is a candidate for governor to op- pose Collins, Eberhart and Rev. David Morgan. Ringdal developed surprising strength in the primaries and believes he has more than fair chance to win. Dan W. Lawler, former mayor of St. Paul is on the ticket to oppose Senator Nelson. Mr. Lawler is said to be a fiery speaker of the old fashe joned spellbinder style and it is sai@ that he will “warn things up” at the meeting. Mr. Lawler is making much of Senator Nelson's record and believes that it is time a Democrat went to the senate. All of the Demo~ crats of the state appear unusually confident this year owing to the Do~ pularity of Woodrow Wilson and the split in the Republican ranks.
