ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM &. FREEMAN

The work that is being &c
complished by the printing
of these stories can be greatly
MORE EFFECTIVE BY
THE COOPERATION OF
ALL ADVERTISING IN
TERESTS.
The trouble is, in carrying
on a development work, that
newspapers representatives
who do not receive the bust
ness that goes into the list of
newspapers printing these
stories, Immediately pick
flaws and tell the advertiser
what a mistake he has made.
Just so it is in the advertiS-
ing agency business. An
agency creates an account
gives the advertiser as
GOOD SERVICE as possible
and then some other agency
swoopS down upon that ad-
vertiSer and tells him what a
great blunder he has made.
He proceeds to CREATE
DOUBT in the mind of the
advertiser.
The aggregate circulation
of the newspapers printing
these stories is nearly 2,OOO,-
ooO-that is, these papers
are carefully read by the
members of nearly 100000
families.
When an advertiser buys
space in the Saturday Evening
Post he buys its TOrAL CIR
CULATlON. No advertising
man-no agency man will
claim that its circulation in
Binghampton, n. Y, is very
different from its circulation
in Jacksonville, Fla.
The nearly 100000 fam
lily circulation of these news
papers gets IMMEDIATE AC-
TON for the advertiser in
sixty separate communities
because he gets the IMMEDI-
ATE COOPERATION of the
dealer, plus the Cooperation
of the local advertising forces
of these newspapers.
There are other newspapers
in each community that can
protitahly he employed Ivy adj
vertiSerS, but they are not on
this list any mora than is
Everyhody'S Magazine OF
McClure'S Magazine a part OF
the Saturday Evening Post.
Why should not agencies
OR E AT BUSINESS OF
THEIR OWN and stop The
habit of trying to take husi.
ness away from other aCen.

On the kiosk Is displayed the

Comedy of Stolen Speeches

Senator Bob" Taylor of Tennes-
see once played a mean trick on his
brother Alfred, and 1t was not until
they were rival candidates for the
governorship of Tennessee that Alfred
got even.
When they were schoolboys Alfred
was selected to make q speech on the
last day of school and Bob" was a
little jealous. 1t was suggested to the
teacher that somo of the other boys
should be called on previous to the
main feature. Among those boys was
Bob" who had stolen his brothers
speech and proceeded to deliver 1t as
his own.
Thirty years later when they were
campaigning together Cor the COVER
norship Bob" had prepared a flow
err address on music. but Alfred, who
smoke first, stole the speech and even
ed up for the schoolday affair by de-
livering it.

let his calves lose what IS known as
calf fat" 1t is we'll known that young
animals gain more rapidly in proper
ton to their live weight and to 100
pounds of food than do older animals.
That Is, they not only made more
economical use of their feed than the
older animals, but they take a shorter
time to make certain total gain. The
man who turns off a steer that weighs
1000 pounds, has, IL that calf weighed
100 pounds at birth, been given 10 per
cent. of the total weight by the dam.
while the man who keeps the animal
till 1t weighs 1880 pounds has been
given only per cent. The man who
can make a steer weigh 1000 at IL
months has more return for his
trouble than the man who keeps 1t
"a months, with an additional weight
of only $50 pounds
Butchers, too, have changed to suit
the demand of the consumer. AL
though meat is generally considered
a luxury in the diet of the poor mans
family, 1t still remains an absolute
necessity in the diet of the better
classes. But, where people formerly
ordered large roasts and steaks, they
are ordering steaks and roasts now
that are from so to rs per cent. small
er on account of the advanced prices.
They find that If they get small
roast from large animal that 1t is
long" on bone. The butcher then to
suit the demands for smaller bone de-
mands smaller animals, and during
the last few months they have been
willing to Offer not a premium on
smaller steers so far as dollars per
100 is concerned, but they have
brought the price of small steers up
so close to that of the large ones that
there is really a premium on little
steers when we consider the cost of
production.
We do not think that the 1900
pound steer will ever be entirely
eliminated from the market, but we
do think (f conjecture is allowable)
that the baby beef animal will con-
tinue to increase in popularity In
those districts where men do not wish
to dairy.

height above the manger, says a
writer in Practical Farmer, and see
that the boys hang up the halter
whenever the horse is taken out.
When he is brought in, his halter is
neither under his feet nor In the man
ger under his feed, but just where it
can be reached most easily and quick
ly. The point of the snap should be
hammered in slightly to prevent the
horse catching his halter upon it or
injuring himself by rubbing.
