Commissioner Sntl Dist N. S. Ilowlev
Don't set back and play freeze
out with your neighbors to see
who can stand it the longest with
out paying the running expenses
necessary to , make a live town.
And if your neighbor finally jars
loose why should you steal the
bread another cast upon the waters.
Now let's get busy and do some
thing for -Valentine. For our
Carnival and for the crowds that
ought to come here to register for
Tripp County Opening. Let's
tell them where Valentine is and
how they can get here. Col. Har-
risen has an idea. What do you
suggest ? It's your business. Get
busy.
A man may run a hotel ; feed
ing the people is his business. If
he runs a store he has articles to
eat or wear or use more than he
needs for himself. Or if he runs
a newspaper he has advertissng
space to sell and extra copies to
dispose of. That's his business. If
you run a store a hotel or restaur
ant , a real estate office , a livery
stable or any other business it is
your business as well as mine to
boost for the town. Don't say
you're not in that business. You
may be if you contribute a dollar
to pay for a dollar's worth of boost.
It's your business to do it.
Some people forget that a news
paper is a business proposition just
the same as a store or shop calcu
lated to support itself and its fam
ily and not a benevolent associa
tion for the promotion of schemes
for all the other fellows about town.
It ? business is to tell the news , the
happenings and to instruct in gov
ernment , state , county , city ,
or municipal politics. A news
paper as a business proposition
.must derive its income from those
benefitted or from its patrons the
same as other business proposi
tions. . People do not generally
contribute to a newspaper and ex
pect a generous supply of free
puffs and connonading for their pet
schemes. They pay for what they
get , and get what they pay for.
Jt is plain business , for you pay
for your advertisement to bring
you a customer. One who i ro-
cures or secures or accepts this
advertising free is in the same
class as those crawling under a
tent at a circus or through the
fence at a Baseball game. We are
running a newspaper and our ad
vertising rate ! are low. If every
I wily that rlpeirr-s ber fit from our
efforts should coni ' ute in liK'e
proportion \\c ( , . . spend our
\ whole time boosting the town but
there are enough fellows who
crawl through the fences and un
der the tents to take away the
profits and leave our bills unpaid.
Valentin wants a carnival and
wants the people to come here to
I register for Tripp County lands.
We want the carnival and
want the people to come here
to register , too , but it is a Valentine
business proposition that benefits
all and everyone should contribute
ifor the statement .of our claims or
reasons why people should come to
Valentine. If every man in pro
portion to his interest should pay
for the ad vertisen ent of Valentine
i we would indeed be well represent
ed and the " 'fence crawlers" who
escape their share of expense
could better look a customer in
the face with thought of fairness
to ward his i'cllowmen.
