It relates the accomplishments of the organization during the past year; it points the way for th: future. What the new organ on has done in one year, with the loyal support of a larger membership, can be doubled in the next year. Tangible results already have been secured. But it is very evident from a careful reading of the report that one of the greatest accomplishments of the organization into the field of civic endeavor. The A. of C. has put severa] hundred people into active service for the good of the city; ultimately it can put three times the number of people into the civic harness. The program of the Association of Commerce was made by the membership. While the organization work was still in progress a membership meeting was called in the high school. The members were divided into groups. They dis- cussed possible planks in a program for the first year and by the simple process of a majority vote the major program was developed. This program included a social registration bureau. Good progress has been made toward a community chest, which means not only efficiency but economy in necessary charitable work. There was an insistent demand for a Juve- x ning scores of boys and girls to be band s insured a band for many years. By a program of financing which touched perhaps more lightly upon the people than any similar program ever attempted for a ic enterprise, the Association has a Juvenile Band with a competent leader, and has laid the foundation for an adult organization. Cities which expect to grow, or cities which have grown without direction, realize the need of citv zoning. The Association plans to direct Bismarck’s growth along the right lines, and by doing so make a more beautiful and a more useful city. The tourist camp, the reorganization of the cow testing circuit, the convention, pastal service and other similar activities which were not a part of the program outlined by the membership at the beginning of the year, have been suc- cessful. Indeed, it is but fairness to say that the organiza- tion has greatly éxceeded the expectations of its membership. The accomplishments have been made possible only through a recrudescence of civic spirit in Bismarck and wise leadership. Credit is due A. F. Bradley, the executive officer of the Association, for his individual efforts and for his skill- ful directing of the activities of the various branches of the organization. There are many in the city who have in the past lamented the lack of civic pride and energy in Bismarck ; there are those outside the city who have declared that factionalism would prevent Bismarck from reaching her proper place in the sun. The criticism no longer holds good. And if the citizens of the city will support the Association of Commerce during the next few years as they have in the last year, the criticism cannot be repeated. JOINING HANDS Leather makers have banded together and are conduct- ing a big advertising campaign with the slogan: “Nothing takes the place of leather.” These ads are signed, not by any individual firm, but by the national organization of leather tanners. Tanners used to fight each other to get as big a share as| possible of the business available. Now, confronted by a rapidly increasing use of leather substitutes, they find it | wise to band together, bury the ax, and unite against the common enemy—substitutes. , _ This leather campaign is typical of a decided change that is taking place in advertising and general salesmanship. For instance, you see an ad, put out by cement makers united, insisting that concrete is the ideal building material. You turn a page and find a similar claim for wood. Another page, and the same plea ‘is advanced in behalf of brick. These ads are signed by groups of manufacturers, or by organizations that include a whole trade or industry. Many other commodities are being advertised the same way — California oranges, raisins and even public utilities like electricity This new era in advertising is partly due to a united effort, in a given industry, to combat competition from the product of a separate and distinct industry — brick versus wood, for instance. Again, manufacturers and other producers are beginning 1o-see that, by united advertising, they can create a much larger demand for their common product, with the result that there’ll be more businéss to divide among themselves. On the simple principle that two pies go further among four boys than one pie. .. / HOT-DOG CONTEST Fifty-three “hot-dogs” were.eaten by John Huine in a contest.

I never eat, I never drink to keep in proper trim. And yet in nine times out of ten, I'm filled up to the brim.” “Dear! Dear!" declared the Wise Man to Nick. “I never heard such a hard riddle in my life. I just know I can’t guess I might try jump- ing into a bramble bush or two and shake up my wits a bit. Do you know?” Nick shook his head. “No, I don’t! I think it’s hard, too.” Humpty Dumpty heard the con- versation and broke in.
