ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM &. FREEMAN

The publisher of the Co
lumbus (Ohio) News, Mr..
:ALLE NALBERT, is doing a
great work in eleVating news
paper advertising.
He is particular about the
kind of advertising he prints,
and before accepting a con-
tract he must be CON-
] WINGED OF THE INTEG-
: RITY OF THE ADNER-
J Users.
/; He is not prudish nor a re-
former. He is just a publisher
with GOOD COMMON
;SENSE, who realizes that the
handwriting is on the wall
and that he must take note of
it if his paper is 10 become a
permanent success.
Sometime ago he devoted
a three-column space on the
first page of his newspaper to
"a subject entitled Twenty
eight Days of Disgraceful
Newspaper Advertising"
This talk told of another
newspaper in Columbus which
had boosted about a great in
crease in business in the
month of February.
Mr.. Albert pointed out to
his readers the kind of adver-
Using that had been printed in
the columns of his neighbor.
and made it very clear that a
business success that prided
Itself on the printing of such
advertising copy was welcome
to the success and to what
pnde could be gotten out of it.
He reproduced two or three
of the nasty advertisements
printed by his neighbor and
then said:
"TheSe things are wretched
and shameful to the whole
body of newspaper makers.
at is possible for newspa-
per not only to survive, but TO
prosper by inserting only DE
CENT ADVERTISING and
thus guarantee to advertisers
decent associations in its
columns.
at is not necessary to have
70 face the charge of corrupt
* young girls ana boys in or
ter to succeed"
"Our neighbor has vet TO
learn" so MT. Albert saws, that
decency in newspaper work
CANNOT BE CONFINED
TO THE EDITORIAL PAGE.
He has yet to learn that indie
cent advertising is worse for
the community than anything
that could be printed in a
newspaper"
Mr.. Alber is sure to sue
coed. His home community
will back him up in taking this
stand for RIGHTEOUS ADJ
FERTISING.

Story of q Worm
BY Helen B. Schoonhoven.

one rainy DAY in the fsll-a Saturday
v.ben the weather kept Us all indoors. the
Boy. blue and disappointed. was restlessly
,ryfng to find something IN the house 70
maxi up Tor his disappointment. for we
lad expected to spend the whole day in
,6e woods and open fields.
Never mind. Boy said Father. the
woods will be there another day. Come up
% the den We haven't looked over ali
that stuff we brought in a week ago, ami
we cot one specimen that was in a peck
o. trouble. and I haven't had time since to
see how he is getting along"
The Boy was standing by the window In
very gloomy frame OF mind Rain on
SATURDAY. when q fellow had a chance TO
forget school and stretch his legs in the
onen air. was too hard for even his sunny
disposition 20 resist a ft OF the blues. He
turned from the window. however, as
Father spoke and without any great show
OF interest followed upstairs to the den, -
where an the bugs beetles worms and
flies we're kept and studied, and where
Fgth-r's microscope stood ever ready to
show the wonders Of the world OF little
things.
(Which specimen co you mean, Dad
that worm covered with white things
asked the Boy. as he looked on while Faith
or uncovered a glass Jar.
Yes. Boy, here he is Look at him
WHY. he looks thin and limp, What

The Boy was almost interested. and for
t1s moment 10 seemed a. if he might for

well BOY. YOU remember when We
found this poor chap ne was as rat and
green and really as good looking n worm

Eut these white things on his back have
saDred the juices OF his body and weak
eusd him SO nc isn't good for much now,
sgj can never spin cocoon or become
moth as ne should. In the summer and
Uaul late in tho fall you can find these
worms. and ! have been looking for one
o. them ON every trip. There q story

hatch.
"HoN did they get on the back Of this
worm. ard why do they come there?7
That's lust tho point, Boy. Let's 20
back o. tho beginning. The mother ~
lays her eggs en- this worm because she
wants the tiny little worms that are going
20 hatch from her eggs TO have food while
jr'v lre getting ready 10 make their little
white coco0us. When the fly eggs hatch
into tiny worms they 80 down into the
soft juicy body O. the blk worm and eat
their MI at tho expense Of his health and
strength. and when the time comes. out
they come from the same hole 10y which

dies. where they rest until they are ready
TO be real flies like their parents So. very
soon we shall find a brood of small flies in
this Jar, and a very weak and tired out
big worm, who will live, at most. only a
few days"
Gee. Dad. that's funny arrangement
and II seems to me 'tisn't fair. These
things Just grow on the worm. ana he
doesn't have any chance 10 get back al
them"
1T doesn't seem quite fair. but all in
sects. birds and beasts are trying TO take
care Of themselves. Boy, 10 find their food
and way TO live Some have 10 live at
che expense Of others. Do you know what
worm this is, Boy. and what sort Of butter
fly he should grow into If he we're left
alone?'
Don't believe / do" Father turned TO
his cabinet to find the specimen he wanted,
and the Boys ewes would wander out or
doors TO see If there were not little break
somewhere in the bleak gray OF the sky,
but the rain was pounding harder than
ever on the window pane. So he came
back TO Fathers side with his mind made
up to get what fun there might be in the
outdoor things he and Father had collected
to talk about on just such rainy days as
this
Heres the moth Boy, that should come
