NORTH DAKOTA RAINS HELPED GRAIN GREATLY General Improvement Noted in Western Part of State During Week TO START THRESHING RYE Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 1—We have made special inquiries regarding the labor situation and find that while harvest: help is scarce in places, there is ‘no actual suffering. and apparently the crops: will’ be~harveted in’ good shape. The help. of townspeople. and government assistance are producing good results. ‘During the past week there have been some severe hail storms, es- pecially in North Dakota. that have done: considerable damage. The re- cent. rains throughout the territory while late, have benefited the late oats, barley and flax in the dry sec- tion- of North Dakota. Minnesota In the northern quarter of the state harvesting: of coarse grains is general, but little wheat has been-cut. -n the cenitralfahd southern sections harvest- ing of barley;*oats and rye ‘is about. completed, while one-half of the wheat When thirsty drink— |!

Little threshing ~has been done. ‘Bluestem wheat, in southern} Minnesota has been somewhat affect: | ed by black rust and too much; forcing | \ weather, but other varieties are in | ‘better condition. The estimates ot |. yields in the southern half of the state | rindicate from fifteen to eighttem bush- | els of wheat per acre, barley, thirty | bushels; oats, forty bushels. Flax shows a promising condition with few exceptions in the northern half of the ; state. Corn is developing very rap-! idly. South Dakota. The general istuation is very satis- factory. Black rust has probably done slight damage. Harvesting of coarse grains is almost completed and a few cars of new barley have béen shippea. Samples of new wheat which have} been received show considerable var- iation in quality. In some localities it; is of the Soft variety, while in others | it is hard and flinty. The fine ond tion of corn and flax is: still main- tained. \ North Dakota. There has been a decided improve- ment in the western half of the state due to the fine rains the past week. These will help the. filling” of early | grain and develop the late sown. This ; section, however, is so very spottedand uneven that the outcome is:uncertain. Flax shows a great improvement also Hin this section. In the eastern half of the state while spotted, the general conditions indicate a crop: above the average, but not a hn anticipated. Considerable rye ‘and rbarley have been harvested: and th~eshing~ will start within ten days. Little wheat Was been cut.

With the compiler of the mail order catalog, ’tis all in the day’s work. With the man who says it to your face, it means something, for he knows that if he doesn’t make good you’ll come back, and he-knows that if he does make good’ you’re most likely -to come back, and ’tis the lat- ter contingency that he’s counting’ on. For the man who does business with you, face to face, has to rely upon come back or- ders. and he.needs your good will, because you’re his advertiser and his mail order cata- log. If you go home and say: “By yimminy that coulter I got from. Jones is all right, all right,” then your neighbor thinks of Jones.” the next, time he comes to town, figuring on a bit of an electric washer for the missus. But if you say: “Be dad, that Jones feller, now, ain’t he the skinner,” Jones knows he can never expect to repair the damage that’s done him, and bein’'as Jones is in business here for life, he isn’t likely to give you a chance to say bad things of him if he can help it. That’s.the whole idea of trading at home. , You see the article, you see the man who stands behind it; you know, most likely the next time you come to town you'll see him again, and he knows it too. ’Tis an easy thing to make long distance conversation and to sit beside a mahogany’ top desk, drawing on a 25-cent perfecto and dictate pretty prom- < ises. .’Tis another thing quite to sit right here under the gun and stare a man in the eye and make promises and know by all that’s holy that you've got to make good those promises. - One hates like thunder tq sell a neighbor a blind horse, for he knows that sooner. or later Mr. Naybur will get hep. ’Tis quite another matter to* pass off a ‘bad one on a BUSINESS TRAINI TS MIGHTY COMFORTABLE TO LOOK YOUR MAN IN band of roving horse traders who probably give you worse than they get. The home _btisiness man ts in the same position that you are when: a neighbor comes to you and wants a gentle, lady-broke driver for the family. You are not liable to sell him a skit- tish bag of bones, that’s going to kick: the “whole family: into kingdom come, for, liké as not, you have an idea that Mr. Naybur may want a horse again some time, and a fair profit on two good horses usually is bigger and more satisfactory generally than an unfair profit on one bad one. When a man’s selling merchandise as a business, the! first thing he does or seeks to do is to build up good will and a reputa- tion for honesty and fair-dealing. The man who accomplishes these results stays in bus- iness.. That is why the men whose busi- ness is advertised in these columns are here; that’s why they were here last year, and yéar before last. With some of them your grandaddy traded when he came out here in a prairie schooner; with some of their grand- children you’ grandchildren will be trading a long time hence. A square deal with the home merchant is a@ mere matter of ordinary business good sense. He knows that, even were he so in- clined—and we’re proud to believe that we haven’t any of that brand in business in Bis- marck—he couldn’t hook’ you today and ex- pect to catch your neighbor tomorrow. And when he says. “bring it back if it isn’t satis- factory,” he means that, for he can much better afford to take a loss on you than to have you dissatisfied. The biggest capital the average merchant has is his gocd will. Without good will, with- out a reputation for playing fair and doing business on the square, without a belief on the part of his community that he’s honest adn sincere and a man who wants to see his, neighbors do well, the goods on his shelf wouldn’t be worth to him #5 cents on the dol- lar on the purchase price. Think it over, and see if it isn’t, pretty sdund gospel.
