TRUTH ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Solicitors Should Not Exssssrsts Con-
ditions-Thsir Mission Defined.
BY ALBION L HoLsEY.
Advertising solicitors sometimes do
much to discourage the advertiser by
exaggerating the value OF their papers
as advertising media. Many Of them
seem to have In mimi as they work
nothing save their commission. Such
q spirit Is bound TO react harmfully
because the interests OF the advertiser
demand the most thoughtful atten-
ton from the advertising solicitor
since he is the man to be directly ben
ehted. The solicitors commission
should be a secondary consideration.
No solicitor should attempt to sell
space to an advertiser unless he is rea-
souably sure that II win pay him.
Merely filing the advertising page
with advertisements OF no value Is no
test OF the competence Of n solicitor.
Suppose a magazine claiming 10 be
national In scope fills fits advertising
pages with purely local advertise
ments?
II the circulation IS national, then
less than onetenth Is purely local. and
II its rate to these advertisers is based
on its circulation fits advertisers are
wasting nine-tenths Of this money.
Unless its solicitor acquaints these
advertisers with the truth OF the situa
ton It Is adopting a bad policy to build
up a lasting clientele OF advertisers
Such thOughtlessness makes II difh-
cult for the conscientious solicitor to
convince the advertiser Of a real val
uable advertising DropOsitiOn.

White Rivev Led in the Value of
Products--Mussel Fisheries Is

Washington, D. C.-Statistics of the
contained in the forthcoming special
United States census report on the
general census of the fisheries of The
United States for the year 1908, pre-
pared under the direction of William
NJ. Stewart, chief statistieian for the
census bureau.
The value of the fishery products
of Arkansas was 100000 in 1908, as
compared with Sl6S,000 in 1899. The
fishing grounds of the state are prin-
cipally the Mississippi river and its
tributaries, the Arkansas, White, st.
Francis, Ouachita, Black and Cache
rivers, and Big Lake.
Buffalo fish and catfish were the
leading fish caught, while mussei
shells, together with pearls and slugs,
almost equaled in Importance these
two fish products combined. The
number Of persons employed was 99S.
as compared with 463 in 1899, while
the capital employed was $4,000.
The development of the mussel fish
cries between 1899 and 1908 added
greatly to the weight of the fishery
products, though not much. relatively,
TO their value. Excluding mussel
shells, of which none were reported
in 1899, the value and quantity of the
fisheries declined in 1908 as COM
pared with the previous census.
Mussel shells. pearls and slugs made
up in value $4,000, onethicd of the
total value of the products. Buffalo
fish was next in value, followed by
catfish and black bass. Other of the
products were crappies, drum, Dream,
German carp. frogs and paddle fish.
White river led in the value of
products, $4,000, followed by ST.
Francis river, with 5000 Big Lake,
s24 900; Arkansas river, $4,000, while
the Mississippi river and "all others
contributed S3S.7O0. The mussel fish
cries contributed $4,000 of the pro-
duct from the White river.
