A. J. McGUIRE Superintendent of State Experimental Station {Grand Rapids PROMINENT MEN ADDRESS MEETING (Continued from first page). nesota. I want to see the hundreds of thousands of acres of rich agricul- tural lands in Northern populated by a thrifty and intelli- gent class of farmers; I want to see the many acres of wild land in Cen- tral Minnesota developed into pros- perous farms, and I want to see the highly developed farms of Southern Minnesota } Minnesota receive a substantial raise in value, such as they deserve and I am asking the co-operation of all the people of the state in doing this work. 1 want you all to know the State Board of Immigration is in hearty sympathy with the people of North- ern Minnesota, who are struggling to develop your lands. I am in a posi- tion to say, that the department stands ready and willing to co-op- erate with all of your development association, Commercial Clubs, etc. and to assist in every way possible. If at any time there is any way I can consistently use the machinery of my department to help Northern Minne- sota, call on me and I will meet yon more than half way. 3 I came up here today, hoping that T could be useful in some way and might be able to offer some sugges- tions.that would be of assistance to you. 1 did not have avery clear idea of the purpose of this meeting, but knew that some kind of a move was to be made to form an organization in Beltrami County and assisting the farmers in clearing lands and buying more stock. To carry out suc- ‘cessfully a_project like this, it re- quires money. Acting upon the advice of one of your club members, I, yes- terday interviewed some Twin City Bankers to see what they would be willing to do in' case there was not sufficient local capital to carry this out. I find the Twin City Bankers are very friendly to Northern Minnesota and will assist in every way possible. However, they agree that this is a matter that must be handlcd either by your local banks or a properly organized Loan & Trust Co. However, they seem to think that |to handle this through the local bank is the better plan. Mr. Jos. W. Chap- man of the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis, tells me that hundreds of cities and. villages all {over the country have been success- fully developed and built.up by or- ganizing “Loan and Building” as- sociations. He points out the Yact that through these Loan and Building associations the town or city is not only helped, but the people in them are provided with means to get’a home, who otherwise could never save up enough to build a home, Mr, Chapman says that this Building and Loan association plan has been suc- 'cessful with city people but the far- mers have never attempted an or- ganization of this kind. He believes it possible for the farmers of North- ern Minnesota to organize on the Building and Loan plan and thus se- cure much needed credit. I believe Mr. Chapman’s plan is a good one and I suggest that before this meet- ing adjourns a committee be appoint- ed to see what can be done along this line. “The plan i§ to form a corpora- tion.” said Mr. Mackenzie. “with a capital stock of $20,000 or more in a Canning Season Is On You will need Fruit Jars, Jelly Tumblers, Fruit Jar Covers, Rubber Rings and Sealing Wax.

While it is true beyond all question themselves and their homes, still there is a certain amount of trading done by men. if the merchant writes an ad designed principally for men there are some points to bear in mind. The fluence men through ads, than women. ‘Women like detail in ads while men are not given to spending much time over ads and all advertising to men should be to the point and be as free from detail as Proper illustrations and headlines are of im- luieasurable value in- securing the attention of men. This is seen in the best clothing advertising. In this character of advertising the artists are working overtime preparing illustrations that will attract present clothing advertising is among the best. The only serious objection to this class of advertising is place and people. The ad writer in New York can- not hope to prepare stock ads that will compete suc- .cessfully with ads prepared by a local ad writer, The local man knows his stock, his people and ‘is bound to put more individuality into his ad. Many of these sotck ads are very handsome from an artis- tic standpoint but miserable failures from the standpoint of business getting. Men, when once attracted to ads, are convinced by an honest, straight-forward statement of the goods giving prices, all in the most concise yet bulk of the trading, for their business affairs and and more than ordinarily ifficult to attract and in- hey read the papers. At hing ads are prepared in and do not fit the time, is an ad writing expert. 1913 by George E. Patterson _— county like Beltrami.

The corpora- tion will not expect to make a pro- fit, but those who invest their money will expect it to be a sort of revolv- ing fund, which will benefit the com- munity by stimulating its develop- ment. Other speakers on the program were W. P. Dyer and J. J. Opsahl who gave 'nteresting heart to heart talks and displayed many important facts and figures. MULHALL TELLS OF SEEING TAFT Lobbyist Says President Approved N. A. M. Work.—Drawing To A Close TESTIMONY NEARING END House Investigators Expected To Go After Star Witness Much Stronger ‘Washington, July 26.—Martin M. Mulhall’s story of his lobbying activi- tles for the National Association of Manufacturers, as unfolded before the senate lobby committee, is to be al- lowed to stand practically without cross questioning from Democratic members of the committee. Benators Nelson and Cummins, who began a severe questioning of the witness upon many of his statements, probably will continue to demand more detailed statements upon his letters, but the Demooratic members, Senators Overman, Reed and Walsh, expect to let the Mulhall story stand upon the evidence presented. Mulhall will go before the house lobby committee early next week and it is empected that there he will be subjected to & riged examination as to the charges contained in his mass of correspondence that members of the house were his close associates in political campaign work and in ef- —_—— wrote General Manager Bird of the Manufacturers’ asseciation of a con- _Ii*l*#ii##iif*ii# MALCOLM, x AR B E EERE TSRS 2 Rassmus Orheim was ~-down to Thief River Falls after a new mower last Friday.

Taylor of East Liverpool and H. M. Hanna were not enthusiastic friends of his. “He was greatly pleased with the work I told him had been done in Massachusetts and other states and advised me to inform our people to do everything we possibly could to keep in ‘touch with congress so that Wwe might be able to help in close congressional districts.” LK KR R HONOR FOUNDER OF THE ASTOR FORTUNE. - Berlin, July 26.—The mem- ory of John Jacob Astor, founder of the great Astor for- tune, is being honored in Wal- dorf, near Heidelburg.
