Advertising in the Smaller Cities.
BY CHARLES AUSTIN BATES.

When I say "cities, mean, of course, every town of above 1000 people. A town of tha, size, which didn't call itself a city, i'll this pro- gressiye age, would be d rare bird in this country
 l have just been looking very care fully through some three or fourhun- dred local papers, and the one thought which has pushed itself ahead of all others inm my mind is that there is enough money wasted in the advertising columns of small local papers every year to pay all the farm mortgages in u half-dozen States.
 The money Is wasted, not because the space is not good, but because it is not utilized to good advantage. All that space is as the richest bottom land, and it would yield inn mense crops of business if it were only cultivated properly.
 There is a chance in every town for one man in every line of business to make q distinct, palpable hit in his advertising. Let him get out of the old ruts. Let him make up his mind that he advertises for business, and not just to help the paper along. Let him give some good, hard, common-sense thought to the subject
 Advertising is, or ought to be, news, and a news item that re- mains standing for three or six months, gets just tIihe stale and uninteresting.
 If you will tell people something new and interesting every day or every week, they will soon read the .'ad. regularly. Sooner or later you will get their trade.
 There are facts about every busi- ness that people generally would be glad to know There is nothing in the world so close to every man as the needs of his daily life. 1t is more important for him to know that you "have nice line of bath sponges at 2 cents each. than it is for him to know that Mike Cassidy killed an Italian named Macaroni i'll New York yesterday.
 I do not think that coarse humar, or play upon words Is good adver-

bait, wait while, pick your flint and try it again.
 And now brethren, one and all, who were defeated at the late primaries and other Democrats who were dis appointed, this is no time for discon- tent; buckle on your Democratic armor and come to the front and do battle as you never did before, for the fight is HOW on. We went into the thing with our eyes open, knowing that all could not be elected. It is common for the defeated to grieve some at first, but that soon wears off if the parties are true to party. Study this matter well, take it home, sleep upon it, get your wife's advice, if you have no wife, get one, and then there will be no more discontent. Now, in conclusion, if you will per sist and go your way, what will be- come of you? W. C. DAVIS.

ONE OF THE DEFEATED
Has Few Words to Say to Some of
 His Brother Candidates.

REDFIELD, July 9, 1894. Editor of the Graphic:
 Ihave been waiting, watching and listening to hear or see something from my defeated breathren of the late primaries, and had come to the conclusion that they have gone up Salt river OF joined the great strike, until learned from reliable source that such was not the case see that Bro. Henry has kicked out of harness and is now grazing in the green fields of discontent
 Bro. Rogers has switched off and gone "mid de dry cattle" and set up shop on his own hook. 1 am sorry to know that such good men will go estray.
 Bro. Bush is like myself, takes it fair and easy and has learned some thing by experience: that it takes plenty of money and audacity to be successful in politics, neither of which were we endowed. As for myself, I took to hard work hoeing corn and digging "taters' in order to drown my grief and sorrows, and I find that it has the desired effect.
 Come, brethren: cheer up. There is no use grieving over split milk nor worrying over the sh;there is plenty in the sea. If you have lost all your

Using. Sometimes n little pleas antry can be woven in with good effect, but it must be spontaneous and not strained. In the long run common-sense and plain English will win.
 Give some attention to the ap- pearance of your ads. 7, Where everybody uses big black type, try to design an tad.' that will look clear. clean and airy. Look over the ad yertising pages in the magazines, or in the daily papers in large cities preferably in Chicago
 There is more room for improye- ment in the ads 'of drug stores and groceries, probably, than in any other lines.
 Anything that is left out of an "ad.' one week may be made the subject for q fresh ''ad.'' the week following. The same people get the papers every week Give them one idea at time and drive it straight through. Clinch it. And then take another idea and clinch that. A rifle will shoot straighter and farther and harder than d shotgun. Proficiency in lad. building won't come all at once, but any man who tries is sure to make some progress. Mos dealers can do better than they are doing.
