Albino coots are Of frequent oc-

Coots start to migrate in the
latter part of August and stop
whenever they come to a body of
water that will furnish a place for
food. They come and go at night.

until they are mere specks in the
sky, then they will take direct
course South and in a short time
are lost to sight.
1t is amusing to watch a large
flock of them feeding. They al

they come to the surface they bob
up like cork that has been placed
under water and then suddenly
released. They feed on long,
flat variety of seaweed, eating the
roots and seed pods in the fall and
the roots in the spring. In the
summer they eat various insects
and green stuff.

color sometimes having a dark

My attention has only recently
been called to an item il, Views
and Reviews, entitled, Forms of
Advertising" I want to confess
right now, but in a low tone Of
voice, that occasionally, only COCA
sionally, understand, thru stress of
study, l am compelled to f.rego
the pleasure of reading Mr.. Ms
column. This is the reason for my
hardness in replying to what 1 feel
is not just criticism of an impor-
tant profession, if you please, which
as the years pass will increase in
dignity and Importance. I ann
afraid E. w. M, is filled with the
old fashioned idea that advertis-
ing is a form of graft. Today pro-
gressive business men look upon
it in an entirely different light. It
is now considered on par with
any other profession, and necessi-
tates the employment of as much
brains and skill. There are greater
opportunities today in the adver-
Using field than there is in any
other profession and, naturally the
most able man, he who has the
best idea of harmony in line and
color, he who possesses a deeply
artistic and human side, in short,
the most brainy and energetic
man, will draw the largest salary,
and five dollars day is not the
limit either. I cannot help but
feel that my esteemed friend has
taken an entirely one-sided view OF
the matter. 1t is no more neces-
sary for an ad writer to be
practical printer and stereotyper
than it is for builder to under
stand explicitly the manufacture
of iron columns or glass. He, of
course, uses these in his business,
but it is not necessary for him to
understand their manufacture in
order to use them wisely. The
ad writer must, of course, have a
theoretical knowledge of printing
and sterotyping as we'll as of many
other things, but it is not neces-
sary for him to be an expertly
practical man along these lines.
L am afraid my gifted colleague
selected the poorest specimen ad
he could find, perhaps on the
theory that chain is no stronger
than its weakest link, but to my
mind this is hardly fair; in this
profession one will find good and
bad just as one finds them in all
lines of business. The Before
and after taking" idea first origi-
mated in advertising patent med
icines, and has been used by many
advertisers in widely different
lines of business with the greatest
success. [ agree with Views and
Reviews as to his final criticism Of
the ad in question, but if one goes
into the study of advertisement
writing, or any other profession
for that matter, with the intention
of making it life work and to
succeed in it, in order to do which
one must work and devote all his
time and talents to it's mastery: If
one is willing to do this, [ repeat,
it is not necessary that he be
natural artist, or that he have
natural eye for line and color. If
