and by sextette, a piano solo by
.edss Rosalind Cook, cornet solo by
Miss Cecile Smock, two solos by
Mrs. o. j. Henderson, and fifteen

Mr.. Kelly made a splended ap.
peal to the mothers for cooperation

provement of the course Of study
and told them few Of his hopes
Tor more efficient work along broad
er lines as soon as the high school
get into their new building. The

noting their mutual acquaintance
This Mothers Day. was only a be-
ginning of what is hoped will be
continued cooperation between par

promising one. Some of the moth
.ers are considering the organization
of a Mothers Club" with a similar
object.

heard him on his first appearance
here four years ago it was partie-
ularly interesting to trace his splen-
did growth In his art.
Mr.. Douglas Wright introduced
Mr.. Tanning very gracefully, and a
fine feature of the occasion were
the brief Introductory remarks made
by Mr.. III. B. Turpin to several Of
the songs, which threw search
light, as it were, on these compost
tions. AS the aecompanist, also, Mr.
Turpin rendered superb service to
tho singer.
A supreme quality OF Mr.. Fan
rings flne yocalization Is the
rhythm. He never loses sight Of
this in his interpretations. and It
rot only renders exquisite his lisht-
er selections, lyrics that sing them
selves into ones remembrance, out
it is emphasized in his powerful
dramatic work---even in interpret
ing the Wagnerian selections there
is golden thread of rhythm which
runs throughout"

Advertising In Ewes Days.

Ben S. Jacobs, a director OF the Pill
grim Publicity association of Boston,
addressed the students at the Massa.
chusetts Institute of Technology on
Psychological Points in Advertising"
He told his hearers that advertising
really started in the garden of Eden.
One of two definite states of mind is
necessary, Mr.. Jacobs said. to sell
goods. One is necessity and the other
is desire. Advertising may exploit
necessity or create the desire. and the
copy and chosen medium should be
adapted to one or the other, as the
case may be, and any medium which
reaches any considerable number of
people burdened with necessity or
likely to respond to the desire in
mind has distinct value as carrier
of the advertisers message.
First among these mediums, he
pointed out, came the printed word
and the printed picture. and it is this
fact that makes the great newspapers
and magazines OF today practical
possibility and an economic factor in
the supply and demand Of the worlds
goods and their distribution

SELLS FIELD-NOT GOODS
Advertising Only saIesmanship on Pa
per Less Personality Of the
Seller.

Newspapers cannot sell goods, new
er could and never will, but only sell
the field. It's up to the advertiser to
do the rest. There are few advertis-
ers who do not think the publisher
is to blame II they get no returns. l
have had them say to me, in an ag-
greved tone. Il don't get single in
quiry." Yet l am absolutely certain
hundreds Of readers to whom that pa
per goes spend thousands of dollars
annually for the product this man is
trying to sell. Is the publisher to
blame? Why one advertiser gets re-
turns and another doesn't is simply
because the successful one under
stands human nature and knows what
after ALL is simply craftsmanship on
paper, less the personality of the man
selling goods. For this reason it
must be written to the point
The pulling power of an advertise
ment depends on these things. 1t
be attractive; 1t should be changed
often. The argument must be logical
and the statements made must be
proved. Reasons ought to be given
for every assertion made. Illustrations
should be arguments themselves not
merely space filters. Prices should be
used whenever possible. If the adver-
tiser will do this he cannot say adver
tising does not pay him, for it will.

CHURCH is USING PRESS
Advertising Columns Added to Me.
diums by Mr.. Jenkins Of I'M
manuel Presbyterian.

Widespread attention has been at
tracted to the policy of one Of Milwau-
KEGS churches in endeavoring to reach
as large number of people as pos
sible with knowledge of its services,
their nature and aims. and the desire
Of the church to affect the spiritual life
Of the community.
This is Emmanuel Presbyterian
church, Of which DIR. Paul B. Jenkins
is pastor. Beginning with its street
car cards, the church has met with
results SO definite as to lead it to ex-
tend its methods to include announce
ments mailed to business men and to
the use of the regular advertising col
umns Of the press. Blotters bearing
the name Of the church and mention of
Its services are regularly placed on
writing desks In hotels.
Dr. Jenkins says: There is moth
ing sensational about It, We are sim
ply trying to do the business of the
kingdom Of God In a business like
way; that's all. We believe absolute
ly in conversion as the indispensable
entrance upon the Christian life, but
we believe that a man must come to
church If he Is to be reached by the
message Of the church. And we be-
lieve that any man will come II he Is
once convinced that the church has .
message for him that he would be in
terested to go and hear And we are
trying to convince him."

On the Other Foot.

The editor of local paper says
that he asked each merchant in his
town, in turn. to give him little ex-
ira advertising, calling attention to
bargains. In every case he was turn
ed down with the remark that adver-
tising in local papers did no good any
way The editor went back to his
ONCE and accepted S65 in cash from
a mail order house for space in his
paper The next week every mer-
chant in town complained bitterly of
how the advertising was hurting
them, but the editor had them going
his way when he reminded them of
their remark that advertising in his
paper was no good anyway. Advertis-
ing does do good, no matter where 1t
is, and mail order houses know 1t and
profit by the liberal amount Of it they
do.-Curtis Courier.

ESSENTIALS OF ADVERTISING
The Three Graess, Truth, Courage
and Faith, Of Prime Importance
In Good Advertising.

st. Elmo Massengale of Atlanta.
Advertising" recently said, among
other things:
"As the years go by the plain state
ment Of fact, dressed in becoming
clothes, has restored public confidence
in Advertising.
80 I find one great answer, the
greatest moral essential. first in the
:. list is Truth. 1t is the acid test, the
ast analysis. the final chemical reduc-
, Ion to the atom.
Truth in the article itself. hon
estly made. with the true ring-gen-
uine. An advertised article can lie
as well as the advertisement.

er, NO dealer or trader, no man selling
stocks or bonds or lands. or anyone
advertising the thousand and one
things from gum to guano. or from
socks to schools, will begin or succeed
in continually advertising except the
cornerstone be Truth
II would not kill all beauty in adver-
tsing when I eliminate the false.
Truth, like the human form, made in
the image of God, is the most beauti-
ful thing in the world. Truth in ad-
vertising may be painted extensively.
repulsively, without result or given
the glowing tints of Bougereau.
That remedy Is this: Recognized
by advertisers are three great media
for publicity: The printed periodical
Of every class from newspaper to col
lege annual. the outdoor sign and bill
board, and the street cars.
All others are subsidiary, support
ing, collateral. even though often es-
sential and helpful. supposing there
should be tomorrow cohesive Or
sanization Of these great prime media
against fraud. There would be no
excuse for the postoffice department
to return thousands of dollars to in
vestors who have sent money to
thieves who forced their way into the
homes of the people by the use of the
rubber-heeled mail carrier
Courage is moral essential to the
advertiser to say no to that class of
advertising harpies who prey upon
him daily with schemes, generally
appealing only to vanity, conceived In
iniQuity, and causing the loss of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
to legitimate advertising channels.
Courage is needed by the solicitor
to refuse the advertising which he
knows will not pay in his publication.
Courage is needed to stand at the
right hand of Truth, and help in the
final elevation of advertising to its
place In the commercial life of the
world where 1t properly belongs.
And with courage goes Faith.
These are the three graces of ad-
vertising: Truth, courage, faith"

Lumber Manufacturers to Advertise.
Advertising by permanent dis
plays" In the principal cities of the
middle west is being planned by the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association for this winter. By per-
manent displays is meant decorative
examples of interiors finished in fir
and spruce installed in semi-public
buildings in cities like Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City. Omaha and Den
yer. The Pacific Coast association,
in conjunction with the Southern
Lumber Dealers association, installed
n few years ago a small but attractive
exhibit, showing flr-finished interiors,
in Minneapolis. The cost was $4,000.
As result of this Secretary Beck
man of the Pacific association said
recently that 10000 homes and busi-
ness buildings in the middle west
have been finished In fir. which was
taken from the Pacific northwest mills

The Mystery In Adxerti.lna.

1t is commonly thought that adver-
tising is a mysterious thing that
makes some people rich and some
poor. whereas, in my opinion. the
term advertising was merely coined
to conveniently differentiate the writ
ten from the spoken word.
1t is, therefore, purely and simply
salesmanship, and no man has yet
risen to ask the why and wherefore
of vending merchandise-H. T. Nor

Advertising sometimes
changes failure" to Success"
Just as one view dissoIves into
another at the moving picture
show. It 10 hard to tell when
failure ends and success begins,
but we seem to think we can
almost see it.
They say that business
must either be success or a
failure.
However, some businesses,
like some people, simply stand
still until gaIvanic battery
wakes them up.
That galvanic battery is usu-
ally advertisin0-their own or
some ono else's.
