S.” gignal in the Sentinel this morning? L3 CIXTT T " RUNING UNFRUITFUL TREE! Every one' has noticed that where ‘trees grow in low. damp, rich soil they continue to make vigorous growth for many years without setting or bearing fruit, while the same kind of tree, of the same age, on a poorer and drier soll, has:been bearing crops for years. The fact is that strong growthand heavy fruit bearing cannot occur at the same time. Summer pruning often checks growth and imsures fruit. An old and justifiable saying awmong fruit growers has been. *‘Prune when the trees are dormant to promote ‘woody - -growth. and prune when they are in leaf to check growth - and set fruit buds.” When a tree is growing too vigorously, without bearing, it is well to. prune it back to some extent, grow grass or some other crop around it. fertilize with phosphoric acid and potash, but not with nitrogen. and thus check its growth, but promote its fruiting.—American Cultiva- tor. prohibits ‘the sale of liquor in the entire county. A city might vote solidly against county option, yet if He called us some more names this week, which ought to help some in placing him among the diplomats of our city. Wilson has demonstrated by his editorials that “mud-slinging” is his line of business, rather than seeking to acquire the diplomatic title of state senator. As a publicity agent, F. A, Wilson, publisher of the Bemidji Sentinel, and incidentally candidate for the state senate, sure takes the cake. Strange as it may seem, articles fa- voring the Bemidji senatorship as- pirant, and printed in various news- papers in this section, bear the mark of Wilson econstruection, ‘ and Wwe presume- were published through ““brotherly love.” N T poae——0 “Judging from Wilson’s attitude and his nasty personal attacks on of- ficers of the Pioneer staff, the public can readily see that he is not a fit man to send to the senate,” said a prominent Bemidji business man this morning. “He uses less diplomacy in furthering his own cause than was expected of him.” This is the opinion a great many of our Bemidji citizens have, and this is why more people will vote for L. H. Nord at the fall election. Adopt Lee Plan. The state efficiency and economy commission will recommend to the legislature a proposition William E.; Lee advanced in his keynote speech at Marshall Monday night. Mr. Leey said the governor should be inaug-! urated one month at least before the' legislature meets, so he could get; a majority in the county as a whole should vote for county option, the city would be forced to be “dry.” Tt is this feature that is objected to by many. It compels cities to become “dry” even if the people are solidly opposed.—St. Cloud Times. ¢ —_—— Trouble is always in store for can- didates who have elaborate “plat- forms. There’s always the danger of a plank falling out and some one stubbing his toe, which may bring on a suit for damages. But the most serious feature of a political platform is the fact that some in- quisitive cuss keeps digging and ask- ing questions all the time that are not so easy to answer. Backing a candidate up against a stone wall, firing questions at him he cannot answer makes Jifg unpleasant.— Stillwater Gazette. g ST —— ~ COMMISSION MAN? o “::*“ Which Has Disposed of Your Farm Products ?

To postpone the legislative session would meet with opposition from farmer members, because sitting the full 90 legislative days out would delay ad- Jjournment until after the opening of spring work on the farm.

Two things have tended to change this situation.. Gne of these was a law passed fourteen years ago. Under that law every commission merchant dealing in farm products must ob- tain a license from the railroad and warehouse commission and file with the secretary of state a bond to the state for the benefit of consignors. Abuses connected with grain ship- ments were especially instrumental in bringing about the passing of this law. It was alleged that grain re- ceived in the morning when the price was quoted at, say 70 cents, might go up in price during the day to 71 or 72 cents, but that the commission merchant would sell late at the high- er price but return 2 statement to the local shipper for the earlier figure and pocket the dilference. The new Jaw compelled commission men to in- dicate the exact minute -and hour when grain sales were made. While the law applies to all commission men handling farm products the specific { provision regarding time of sale ap- plies only to grain business. Another factor that has -affected commission business is the coming of the jobber, who cither sends agents into the lecal towns to buy outright or sends out printed quotations to the different localities offering a ! definite price for different kinds of farm produce before certain dates. Other things. being equal, local ship- pers Prefer to sell outright rather than ship on commission and for this reason the jobbing business has tend- ed to displace that of the commission man in the handling of butter, eggs |- Monroe Building roe St., Chicago and poultry, as well as all other kinds of perishable products., The com- mission ‘man still holds the field in the handling of grain and live 8tock.

Cor. Michigan Ave. and [lon=- The demand for both necessities and luxuries will grow just as surely as the American advertiser shows a willingness and a readiness to meet it. Instead of American business suffering because of European War, the signs of the times are that it should increase by leaps and bounds. This year in America alone there has been more building of homes in every city and town than was ever seen before. . Right now—this minute—millions of dollars are ready to be spent for furniture, decoratiom, painting, glass, china, silver and the other things which must be put in new homes. Putting aside the world-wide opportunity for business expansion, the great American public. in itself is going to give the American Adver- tiser a remarkable era of prosperity. Bumper crops—always the foundation of American prosperity— mean more money than ever to distribute right here at home. _. The experienced, successful advertiser—the man who plans ahead and who works his plans is increasing rather than diminishing his efforts. : He is putting on more steam, calmly, wisely, but persistently. i One of our customers reports 35 per cent_increase in August over last year. Another in 25 years’ successful business never had as huge sale in any one month as in August of this year. Both regard newspaper’s as the backbene of their advertising campaigns. Both employ the best paid salesman in their respective lines. Both know a good salesman’s time is too valuable to do any of the work an advertisement can do. : But the great big thought of the moment is that the American Advertiser actually has the only store on the Street of the World.
