ADVERTISING CHAT

All advertising cannot be made a
success along the same lines. What
Is good for one advertiser will not
prove so for another. And yet all
advertising proves success when it
brings results, when it sells goods,
when it pays the advertiser for the
investment.
1t matters not, however, whether
the advertiser is after a ''high-toned'
set of people, or the great majority of
the "plainer people," it is safer to
make the advertising talk plain,
simple, and forcefull, than to at
tempt the fiowery and poetic. Make
your head lines say something in
keeping with your business; put your
thought into the business you are
talking about; make a clear statement
of business facts; let your expressions
show that you are enthusiastic about
your store, about the goods you have
to sell. Get in the habit of making
your head lines and paragraphs strong
and convincing, harmonizing as closely
as possible with the business adyer-
tised; talk straight and to the point,
just as you would to a customer direct.

NEW BOOKS ON ROADS

The State Geological Survey has
just issued small bulletin on the
"Rural Highways of Wisconsin"
This bulletin is designed by the Sur
vey to be preliminary and somewhat
general in character, as it is hoped
that the study of highways may be
continued in a more detailed manner.
If this be done it is planned to issue
a number of short pamphlets dealing
with particular phases of highway
work. This bulletin is written by Mr..
w. 0. Hotchkiss, who has charge of
the economic geological work of the
Survey.
The Bulletin has two parts, the first
of which deals with the fundamental
principles of road construction. In
this part the subject of proper location,
different methods of construction,
road machinery, best methods OF
maintaining the common country
roads, and bridges and culverts, are
considered. The subject of location
is taken up largely as problem OF the
expenditure of money, and the ques-
tion of will it pay, or will it not pay,
is kept thoroughly in mind. In treat
ing of the subject of methods of con-
struction particular attention is paid
to methods of making dirt roads from
the different kinds of soil which the
road officers have to deal with. In
that chapter on road machinery some
interesting tables are given concern
ing the costs of building roads with
the various kinds of tools in use.
The chapter on roads maintenance
should be read by every official having
anything to do with the country
roads, as the lack of maintenance is
the most important way in which the
money and efforts of the tax payers
are wasted. The chapter on bridges
and culverts takes up in an elementary
way the principles of bridge and Gull
vert construction.
The second part of the book deals
with the conditions of the roads and
the present highway system of the
state. In this part some very inter-
esting statements are made which
were collected by the writer from
over three thousand sets of questions
which were sent out to town clerks,
farmers and rural delivery carriers.
From this date it is very evident that
there is an enormous loss to the tax
payer due to the present faulty sys-
construction and waste are altogether
too common. The writer very con-
servatively estimates this loss at over
million dollars year, and we can
but feel that if anyone will examine
this part of the book he will agree
with the writer that the loss is pro-
baby much more than this. The
urgent need of doing something to
improve the present conditions is
readily apparent to anyone who has
looked over the situation at all care
fully.
This book is very timely on account
Of the widely extended interest in
roads which the people are beginning
to manifest. 1t is issued for free
distribution by the Geological Survey
and may be obtained by sending ten
cents to pay the mailing expense. 1t
can be secured either by writing to
the Director Of the State Geological
Survey, Or through your local repre-
sentative in the legislature.
