Take popular- standard articles such as Lisk’s Enamel Ware, Omo Dress Shields, Rumford’s Baking Powder, Liquid Veneer, Bissell’s Carpet Sweepers and Fairy Soap. The cost of the raw material has gone up, wages have increased, but the price of these articles today is practically thesameasit was ten years ago. Andyouaregettingmore quali- ty, stronger and improved goods that do the work better than ever before. Ten years ago Welch’s paid $15.00 per ton for grapes. Last year they paid $30.00. The price of a bottle of Welch's has not changed. One of the reasons for this is the increased sales made possible through magazine ad- vertising. With the careful censorship of Advertisers’ claims and the elimination of fakers, confidence has grown in the people who have bought heavily of nationally ad- vertised goods and been satisfied.

Remembering the well known love of a baseball magnate for the sound of dollars dropping into the till, this may sound unreasonable, but nothing is reasonable in sizing up the Western league for the coming season. When it comes to trjals and tribulations, Job had a bed of primroses as com- pared with the Western league. All he had was boils. The Western, of which Tip O’Neill is the head, with offices on Charles Comiskey’s bear skin rugs in Chicago, is shy of money in spots. These spots are mostly in Kansas, hence the sug- gestion of free baseball. It is con- tended that the Western league will - |start its schedule with all flags fly- ing, but at the present time teams in the league have about four or five players and a bat boy signed up. Ev- erybody is waiting to grab the cast- offs from the AA and major leagues and few managers have much of an idea what their team will look like when it takes the field. ) But getting back to free baseball— an attempt was made this winter to transfer - the Topeka franchise to Colorado Springs. Miles of- newspa- per space was taken up negotiating the deal, but it fell through. John Savage, new owner at Topeka, then announced that the team would start as per schedule but in the mean- time made a proposition to the Com- mercial club of his town, he agreed that if they would undertake to sell $5,000 worth of tickets good.for any game during the season, he would guarantee that the club would play out its schedule. Buck Ebright, president of the Wichita club, made a similar but more radical proposition to the business organizations of liis towns. Conditions in the two Kan- sas towns are much the same, name- 1y, those who happen to go to a ball game get lonesome up there in:the stands all alone. Ebright suggested | Wichita guarantee the team’s expen- |ses by subscription. Then, he said, he would throw the gates cpen and admit the public free to the games. That is the answer of free baseball in Kansas. Wichita may have it. FARMERS TELL MERCHANTS (Continued 'from Page 1.) and am sure that the feeling in hoth city and country is mueh better. To make Bemidji a city of 25,000 it will be necessary to build up the country around you as well as that part with- in your walls. You have too many merchants for we farmers to sup- port. If you specialized more as you encourage the farmers to do, I be- lieve conditions would be improved. It has always been hard for the farm- er to get cash. “And it has been just this that has forced the farmer to spend his money-| where he could make the dollar buy most. This has driven him to the mail order house as much as any- thing else. Get-him a cash market, make him satisfied and keep him so, is the way to win him. This is be- ing brought about rapidly, I believe.” Should Buy at Home. Mr. Ritchie intimated that if a farmer could save $50 a year by trading with a mail order house and he could spend that $50 on his farm, it would be better for the community and himself, than to spend the money at the home town merchant. -In the discussion that followed it was brought out that both the farmer and the merchants would be money ahead if the farmer spent the extra $50 with the home merchant, because it will have increased the value of his land more than the $50 saved. By trading at home it will keep the money at home, help the growth of the city, and in this way benefit the farmer, because it is infinitely better to own a farm near a big city than a little one. The farmers attending the meet- ing were: Axel Peterson, Kelliher; C. Heines, Nary; H. R. Gillette, Nary; A. P. Ritchie, Bemidji; C. F. Schroed- er, Bemidji; Iver Ungstad, Frohn; Daniel Gray, “Bemidji; Lars Rustad, Foy, and G. J. Wermster, Kelliher. TRUCE OBSERVED IN TRENCHES CHRISTMAS DAY (Continuea from Page I1.) shoe formation while the lieutenant snapped his‘camera: “If I don’t have a chance to send you the proofs before the war is over, T shall see that you get them after- wards,” he said and he took our ad- dresses. 3 At last the bodies were buried. The hour of truce had passed. But the men did not go back to the trenches. . Not Their Fault. In groups about that once terrible Lstrip of no-man’s land, the Germans and the legionaries sat talking or playing cards, exchanging tobacco and cigarettes and joking and laugh- ing. 5 “Don’t blame us,” was the burden of the Germans*talk. AN RO R wives and children and we're just the same kind of men that you are, We're damned fools and so is_every- body who is fighting.” And our talk ran about the same. It was not until the sun began to go down. that we returned 'to the trenches. 2 “We are to have a band in our trenches tonight, and we want you to hear it,” said the Germans as they bade us good bye and we shook hands that might slay ‘us on the morrow. The Band Arrives. At night there was a sudden blast of music that thrilled us. A little German band had crept into the Ger- man trenches and announced itself with a grand chord. Then came the unexpected ‘strains of the ‘“Margeil- laise:;” . The Frenchmen went almost frantic with delight. Then came our turn when the band played “It’s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary.” George Ullard, our negro cook, who came from Galveston, got out a mouth organ and almost bursted his lungs playing “Die Wacht am Rhein.” The yell in the German trenches was a thousand times more eloquent than the burst of cheering that came when George concluded. There was no shooting all night until 6 in the morning, when the sounds of rifle shots came from far down in the trenches. Nadem had been the first to. feel the holiday spirit of Christmas, but on this day after Christmas, he failed to sense the grimness of war that had fallen over the trenches during the night. Early in the morning he jumped out of the trenches and be- gan waving his hands again. John Street, an American, who had been an evangelist in St. Louis, jumped out with him and began to shout a morning greeting to a German he had made friends with the day be- fore. There was suddenly a rattle of rifle fire and Street fell dead with a bullet through his head.
