ATTRACTING TRADE TO THE TOWN The town that would grow and prosper must bear well in mind one important fact—it must put forth a determined and united effort to secure and hold the friendship and patronage of the farming interests of the sur- rounding community. Occasionally we find a town which, by reason of manufacturing in- terests and other causes, is partially independent of neighborhood sup- port, but such towns are the exception and not the rule. The logical way to secure and hold the loyal support of the sur- rounding country is by extending a similar loyalty and by putting into practice a real community of interests. The town that sees only the money to be gotten out of the farmers is due to wake up some morning and find that the farmer trade has been switched to some other point. ‘What we must learn is that the trade of any eection of country will go, first, to the center that makes the best bid; and second, to the place that puts forth an effort to make conditions pleasant for the traders. There are many ways in which a town can attract trade, and they are all combined under one general requisite—that we make conditions profit- able, pleasant and comfortable for our customers. Every town of any pretensions should have a place set apart as an assembly room, where customers from out of town can congregate and find shelter from the weather and warmth and comfort in winter. In fact, two such rooms should be provided, one for women and the other for men, and should be fitted with modern conveniences. If the town is not able to maintain two such rooms, by all means give preference to the women, as the men can more easily shift for themselves. It is also a good plan to have these rooms supplied with newspapers and other periodicals, and many towns are even installing respectable libraries in their rest rooms. But right at this point is where the plan fails in some towns. The writer has in mind a town which has a splendid rest room, fitted up at con- siderable expense. But instead of being made a sanctuary for visitors who come in from the country and really need the conveniences it affords, it is turned into a meeting and loafing place for all the idle boys and girls of the town, and out of town people are not made to feel that welcome which should be theirs. This objectionable feature could be eliminated, however, through an iron clad rule against professional loafers of the town. Another matter that should claim our attention is to see that every visitor is provided shelter for his team. True, the car has displaced the horse to some extent, but the latter is still largely in evidence in the coun- try districts, and the average man would as soon suffer discomforts him- self as to neglect his horse. Some towns have abandoned the old hitching racks and have enacted commodious public sheds and barns capable of sheltering almost any number of animals. And they find that it pays large dividends. ' The main consideration is that we should regard every visitor as a guest and provide for his or her comfort while with us. ‘We must make each one feel that he or she is not only welcome, but that their company is desired and appreciated as well as their business. Such an effort, systematically put forth and sustained, will create a feeling of cordiality and friendship that will link the entire communify together in indissolute bonds, and a true community of interests will be maintained. In order that one may not bear more than his pro rata share of the expense of such an undertaking, the expenditures of erection and mainten- ance should be made largely from the town funds, and the custodians should be appointed and paid by the local authorities. Such evidences of thoughtfulness and consideration are bringing rich returns to other towns. Why not to Bemidji? “Eggs shaved two cents,” says an exchange. Gosh! We always thought those storage companies kept them until they grew beards, and now we have the proof. No, Julia, we have never known a trust yet that could be trusted. Senor General Don Victoriano Carranza has been duly and pompously elected president of Mexico, but darned if we know which one of ’em he claims. ‘We note, however, that our brethren of the press are consistently mum on the subject of civilization. So are we, for we never lament over a dead dog. Congress proposes to dam the Mississippi at a cost of $40,000,000. We’ll agree to dam it and congress both for half the sum. _——————————— One ot the chiet cold storage prod- ucts of Italy is mulberry leaves, on which to feed the silkworms.

Feeling For Death. For a week the self appointed guide to the blind on their daily walks bad noticed that the two men who were her special charges felt carefully of the wall on either side of the door of the asylum when passing in and out Since she was there to lead them that precaution seemed unnecessary, and she finally asked their reason for it. “I am looking for crape on the door,” one old man told her. “They don’t like to let us know here in the asylum when any one dies for fear of making us feel bad, but they put crape on the door, and by feeling for it when we pass in and out we can find out for ourselves when one of us has goue.”’— New York Globe.

Most mothers ““Gramy” Chamberhia know that a cough medicine, while palatable, should contain no drug injurious to the child. The great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is ex- plained by the fact that it contains no opium or narcotic of any kind, and at the same time is so pleasant and agreeable to the taste that children like Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy For this reason alone it is a favorite with the mothers of young children.” '-E‘IlllllllIIIIIIIlllllIlIIIllIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BEMIDJI HORSE MARKET We Buy and Sell Horses, Harnesses and Vehicles.
