the better the results. Good copy for one class Of
trade might be very poor copy for another But there
few broad general principles which are always
true.

not investing in circulation but in readers Of adver
tiscments
> The next point is to make your advertisement
readable AS a rule the most readable copy is printed
in fairly large book type one kind Of type with a
display heading two and the reading divided
into easy paragraphs Most advertisers think that by
crowding the space to its utmost they are getting
bigger value for their money. Within reasonable
limits the very opposite is true Ten words read are

America which makes more butter than
St. Paul. That is Omaha and there is

Nearly 10, 000, 900 pounds a year is
made by creameries here from cream

state, Iowa and South Dakota.
Approximately so. 900, 900 pounds of
butter, made in adjoining territory,
is brought to St. Paul for shipmen,

being sent out. About 40 per cen OF
the St. Paul article is being consumed

FOR BETTER

There Is a measure in congress which
Is OF vital Importance to every inhabi.
tant of the Inland Empire.
1t Is called the vocational educa.
tional bill, and it provides, as s.. NJ.
Evans writes in the current number of
the Saturday Evening Post, for the
government expenditure OF sl1, 900, 900
annually to provide for the establish.
ment OF vocation schools throughout
the several states, particularly agri.
cultural high schools, to supplement
and amplify the work already done by
the agricultural colleges.
The purpose of the bill il, briefly, to
establish a comprehensive ucational
system by which boys who intend to
become farmers may not only have a
liberal academic education, but have
their studies chosen from the first with
a view to their ultima ate service in the
vocation of agriculture. In effect Uncle
Sam offers to distribute about six mil.
lions OF dollars each year to aid the
states in making better farmers. There
is also an appropri alton for tie ching
girls the economies Of the home.
Like most bills looking to the benefit
Of the many and the special benefit of
none its progress in congress is not a
path of roses. Speaker Cannon Is
humping it in the house, and in the
senate there has been a great scratch
ing of heads, and many ''ohs' and
"ahs.'
Congress showed no great hesitancy
in making appropriations of over
SOL 900, 600 for the army, and in round
numbers Sl37, 900, 900 for the navy. but
when it comes to a practical, construc-
tive and educational measure like this,
of incalculable and practical benefit to
the people, the wheels squeak and the
engine groans, and it takes the work
of some Hercules to get any results
whatever.
1t seems to take congress a long time
to get into harmony with the spirit of
the people.-Spokesman-Re Review.
