Rules For Advertising.

The first rule for effective adver.
Using is simplicity" Let there be
simplicity in the way the text is
written, the illustrations made; in
the designing, in the color scheme
The only relative to simplicity" is
''vulgarity," and they're not on
speaking terms. They are twin sis
tiers, however, SO that if you are
not counting one you must be under
the spell of the other.
The second rule is "directness.
Come right to the point. Make the
statement decisive, pCsitive-just as
if you believed it yourself. 1t can be
done without presumption. You do
not have to apologize for merit in
your goods, therefore your statement
must be convincing as your product
is good.
The third rule is have individual
ity" You can do this without Of
Tending simplicity and directness
and yet remain consistent to them.
Don't blindly follow the leaders
The fourth rule is "be a handy
annual" Don't expect 10 keep your
business running for ten years By
advertising in one. You will nave
to keep it up and make it better
each time. The methods of last year
are out of date this year. The buy
ing public is Independent and not
chained to you. 1t is your task TO
keep them interested and convinced
that your goods are the goods-EX.

Best Left Alone.

Washington Star: Andrew Car.
given in his honor in New York
told an amusing story at his own
expense.
Il was travelling on an English
railway LondOnward last year." he
said, land had chosen a seat in a
non-smoking carriage. At a way.
side station a man boarded the train
sat down in my compartment and
lighted a vile clay pipe.
This is not smoking carriage,
/ said.
"'All right, governor said the
man. I'll just finish this pipe here.
HE finished it, then refilled il
again.
See here ! said; i told you
this wasn't a smoking carriage. If
you persist with that pipe ! shall re-
port you at the next station to the
guard
Il handed him my card. He look
ed at it, pocketed it, but lighted his
pipe, nevertheless. At the next sta
ton, however, he changed to another
compartment.
Calling guard | told him what
had occurred. and demanded that the
name and address be taken.
Yes, SIR said the guard, and
hurried away. In little while he
returned. He seemed rather awed.
He bent over me and said apologetic-
ally:
" Do you know, sir, if I were you
| would not prosecute that gent. He
has just given me his card. Here
it is. He is Mr. Andrew Carnegie. :"

themselves to be in the right. In
all the measures that have been
brought forward for the control of
railroads, experience has shown them
to be in the right, and they are in
the right in the measures that they
propose for the reform of transporta-
ton abuses; for example, for par
cells post, for the regulation of ex-
press charges, and all that. Let the
business men show the same good
sense in cooperation and in the
elimination of unnecessary expenses

NEW SCHOOL LAW IN EFFECT.
Tuition Observation-Disclosures is &c
Pay.-Must Have Signed Ger
tificate of Residence.

The new tuition law, now in eff
feet, compels the school districts
which do not provide high school
courses of four years for their pa
irons, to pay the tuition in any four
year course high school in the coun-
ty that will receive the pupil, follow
ing such pupils completion of the
course of study offered in the town
ship. In paying the pupils tuition
the average cost shall not exceed
the average cost of tuition in the
nearest high school in the district.
In applying for admission to the
high school under the provisions of
the act the pupil must have his
residence in the district certified to
by the president or secretary of the
school corporation where he lives.
A certificate from the county super
intendent is also necessary, showing
the pupils proficiency in common
school branches.
The school corporation in which
the student resides shall pay to the
treasurer of such school corporation
the tuition fee of the pupil from the
teachers and contingent funds of
the debtor corporation. If payment
is refused in any instance the credit
or corporation shall file with the
county auditor a statement certified
by its president specifying the
amount due, and the auditor is then
compelled to transmit the claim to
the county treasurer, who will trans
fer the amount from the debtor cor
poration to the creditor corporation.
The aim of the law is to provide
all pupils of the county free tuition
in accredited high schools, so that
they may get the advantages of such
accredited work, necessary TO enter
college without examinations.

Cedar Rapids Republican: At Mo-
bridge, n. D., the other day four
schooners crossed the boundary for
back east" One of the wagons had
painted on its side this legend:
It's forty miles to water,
And h Of ways to wood; ;
I'm leaving this d country,
And leaving it for good.
That is not very nice and we do
not like to print these authorizations
in this paper, it is very expressive
Iowa people have had ii rubbed in
to them so much that they were los
ing population that now and then
one likes to read something on the
other side. These movers were
simply not prepared to stay in dry
country. They were induced to cross
the Missouri river under influences.
Tney were told that dry" farming
could be carried on even in the bad
lands and they have been disillu-
stoned A dry country is all right in
the years when ii rains, but it is diff
ferent when it doesn't rain.
If those movers" with their pro-
fame signs should come back to Iowa
let no questions be asked and let
them not be tainted with the fact
that they have made mistakes. Iowa
is ready and eager to welcome back
all it's prodigals, and, like the father
in the bible account, we are willing
to kill the fatted calf and to ask no
explanations.
The Sioux City Journal reports
that about twenty schooners per day
cross the river, east-bound.
