Advertising In China.

Consul Henry d. Baker offers the fol-
lowing trade suggestions: I was i'm
pressed with the possibilities Of pic
torial advertising as a means Of pro-
noting American trade IN China. The
Chinese appear TO have & fondness,
amounting almost 20 6 veneration, for
pictures. and foreign art especially exc
cites their attention because Of its diff
ference TO what they are accustomed
TO. The people have an especial fas-
cination for calendars. and they never
throw away a well illustrated one, but
always keep it in a prominent place
In supplying advertising calendars for
China some attention should be paid to
the special tastes or prejudices OF the
people. I was told Of one American
company which had made a serious
mistake IN having used pictures Of a
dog in its advertising posters. Dogs
in China are mostly distinguished as
street scavengers and are not cher
ished family pets. as in the occident.
Pictorial advertising makes II easier for
American manufacturers to popularizs

trademark is popularized no article IL

Of Illinois.
= VOW shall the country boy and
- girl be kept on the farm? In
spite Of the portentous anX-
iety with which men OF
weight and wisdom ask this question
the answer is simple. Interest them in
the teeming. dramatic life of the farm
and 1t viii be impossible 10 drive them
away.
Professor Charles Of the agricultural
department Of the University Of Hi
nois thinks he sees the application. In
one Of his articles he has said: "Since
the attitude of the country girl or boy
toward the farm life Is largely deter
mined before his high school days, the
Importance of reaching him early and
In the best way is apparent. Teaching
Is perhaps the most difficult Of all the
arts. but If the results OF modern SCI
entific achievement can be placed be-
fore the pupil while he still has the

Of inquiry OF youth the future of our
agriculture is assured"
Note that last. "The future Of our
agriculture Is assured" No uncertain
statement that-rather the word of
q man who has seen his vision clearly
and has grasped its significance surely.
In other words. the professor believes
that, If the country girl can be brought

illinois Professors Idea.
AS a consequence of this belief Pro-
lessor Charles is planning a systematic
attack upon agricultural courses. They
no longer are to be the property of the
colleges. They are TO be given to the
elementary schools as well. The most
scientific principles of agriculture are
to be adapted to the younger children.
