ADVERTISING DISPLAY EFFECTS

could induce an advertiser to use cuts
that We had made a long step to-
wards effectiveness. When once you
have a nice collection Of cuts for each
advertiser you should indeed be happy.
If the advertisers will allow you to
store their cuts, so much the better,
for at odd moments you can get them
out and after drafting up a space that
you wish the advertiser to use you can
practice placing these cuts in the
space to the best advantage, and when
you go to the merchant you will have
some well defined plan FOR his adj
v~ertisement, and all he will have to do
is to fill in the holes with descriptions
and prices.
The next step in effectiveness is the
selection of your ad type. Some news
paper men solve this step by purchas-
ing every conceivable face Of ad-type
that they can raise money or credit for,
with the result that they have invest
ed more money than is necessary for
their plant, and have a lot Of dead
type that they never use. We have
found that in a country newspaper Of
flee three or four faces of advertising
type is amply sufficient for our needs
we have three, but we have the cases
doubled, trebled and quadrupled, so
that We do not have to pick type from
ads already up. These faces should be
OF the medium sort, but not too light.
And they should never be used except
for headlines, and the smaller sizes to
emphasize some sentence in the body
OF n ad. For the body of the ads
we would recommend a large case each

sell goods, and we doubt their beauty.
| Time was when the more bent rule and
ornaments you could jam into an ad
the better the ad was supposed to be,
but this has long ago been proven a
fallacy. Do not place anything in your
advertising that is going to detract
from the reason for the ad-that of
selling goods.
The question of borders around ads
Is another important step in ad-build-
ing. We have always maintained that
the larger the ad the smaller the bor-
der, n the smaller the ad the larger

alone should attract sufficient atten-

COMMISSION.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 29.-Relief
from wrecks caused by carelessaess of
railroad employees can only come
through the court of public opinion,
says w. H. Stutsman, president of the
North Dakota board of railroad COM
missioners in reviewing the results Of
the recent hearing held in Fargo when
a number of prominent railroad Off
Gals participated and placed before
the board their views of wreck causes.
President Stutsmaa has presented a
complete review of the proceedings of
that hearing, and the findings, briefly
stated, are these:
That a majority Of the railroad
wrecks are caused by carelessness.
That the wreck OF the Great North
ern near Sharon, N. d, was due to an
imperfect or pipe" rail
That the railroad companies are do
ing everything in their power to re-
duce the number Of wrecks and make
travel more safe.
That rules of the railroads with ref
erence to protection OF trains, by
trainmen, are such that they can easily
be complied with.
That relief from wrecks aused by
carelessness will only come when pub
lie sentiment brings about the condi-
ton that TO disobey or be the aus OF
a wreck is a public disgrace.
Do Best to Get Sound Rails.
On the rail question the commission
does not commit itself as being of the
opinion that federal inspection of rails

rails, but Pres. w. H. Stutsman, in an
interview covering that point, made
an exhaustive analysis Of the matter
placed before the board by the rail-
road men, in which the several speak
ers declared that every ~precaution was
taken in the factories to protect them
selves in the purchase of rails.
1t was on this point that the inter
state commerce commission is work
ing. but the evidence in possession OF
the North Dakota board is to the effect
that the inspection of rails, under fed

his personal character is strong

they very anxiously desire to see

A Democratic legislature this

counterpart OF the MacGorkle
bill. 1t, too. abolished the tax

House by large majority. but
the fifteen honest and true Re-
publican friends of the people,
prevented it passing the upper
branch.
Without shame for this brazen
attempt to destroy a great and
satisfactory system of govern
ment, MacCorkle declared in a
speech delivered at Charleston,

why the party he represehts

that it passed in the last session

that A bill which, if it had be-
come a law, would have brought
wreck, ruin and chaos to the
state government; which was
class legislation of the most
vicious kind, because it was a de-
liberate plan to relieve the great
corporations of the taxes they
should justly pay and saddle
them onto the backs of the small
taxpayer.
This plan is not killed of---it
has not been abandoned. Any
citizen who thinks so is fooling
himself. 1t is the purpose of
these men if they get the legis-
lature. this year to do the job.
They are bound in solemn COM
pact TO do it, in return for the
support the Corporations have
given Watson and Chiffon, en-
aiding them to hold seats in the
United States Senate which are
set in the mire of bribery and
corruption. If they carry the
legislature they will probably
carry Thompson through, as well
as the other Watson Chiffon
satellites running for other state
offices. Do the taxpayers of
West Virginia know what that
will mean? 1t will mean doing
away with the present tax sys-
tenn, and no opposition in the
governors Office to this crime
against the people and in favor
OF the great tax-dodging corpora
tons.
West Virginia citizens-Re-
publicans, Progressives, Prohi-
bitionists and Socialists--be on
your guard Eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty. The abol-
i3hing of this system of taxation,
proven by experience to be we'll
nigh perfect, means a return to
the tax bondage which held tie
people of the state imprisoned
prior to 1904 and which vas
thrown off only after the most ter
rife campaign battles ever waged
