TURN THOUGHTS AS DESIRED
Advertising Declared Mental Sci
enee-Greatsst Benefits In cumu-
latlVe Results.

Making Advertising Pay" was the
subject discussed before the Milwau,
kee Advertisers club at a luncheon
the other day by ]. J. Rockwell OF
New York. He said in part:
The science of making advertising
pay is broad subject. You might as
well endeavor to lay down rules for
making business pay, because It all
depends on experience, courage and
persistence. Regardless Of where the
advertisement be placed, persistence
is the most influential element to be
considered This is especially the
case when program of advertising is
contemplated for newspapers.
Among many advertisers seeking
the best results from newspapers, the
element of time is greatly overlooked,
because persistence is one Of the most
important elements in advertising as
we'll as in the science Of selling.
"0ne of the conditions overlooked
by many advertisers is in falling to
give advertising credit for what 1t
really performs. Advertising Is like
any selling investment, in that its
greatest results are cumulative, and
the results follow each other in Sc
quence If an advertiser can trace a
sale to some particular advertisement
he generally gives it credit for that
sale; but he fails to give 1t credit for
future sales which are direct result,
of the first sale made

instance, publishes an advertisement

standing it made but single sale
definitely.
The chief use of advertising is
found in these cumulative results, 1t
forms starting point of sales which,
by reason of the mouth-to-mouth ad-
vertising following, makes advertising
profitable.
Advertising should not be consid-
cred as mere matter Of paper, type
and ink, but an exchange Of thought
the transference of the work of one
mind to another. 1t Is a mental sci
ence, for which the best definition is
that 1t makes people think as the ad-
vertiser wishes him to think"

Will You Boost for Western
Kansas?

Every farmer and land owner il
this and surrounding counties il
western Kansas should be vitality
interested this spring in raising
some sort of a crop. With tb'
moisture now in the earth, i
proper cultivation is had to con
serve it, the greatest opportunity
we have seen IN years is at Oul
door right now.
There is no probability for fail
ure, and there is the very largest
of inducement for the planting OF
every acre possible, and the break
ing up of new land.
We have a new railroad knock.
ing at our door, and others coming
in sight headed our way, and il
will be to our shame, if with every
condition favorable, we make nc
effort to help them in the develop
ment of our country. Buyers will
be coming along with the railroads
and if we have the crops to show
them, they will be we'll impressed;
and every family added, and each
acre put under cultivation means
something to each owner; to each
merchant; to each banker; to each
lumberman; and to every interest
in the county. 1t means larger
schools, more support for resident
ministers, and just the matter of
each one helping Right Now when
everything is favorable means very
much in the aggregate, in making
our country attractive to others.
There is another feature to this
-kafir and maize are now regular
ly quoted on the market, and the
price rules higher than corn.
These are sure crops, and this
year will year will produce the
most abundant growth ever had
here. Too much feed in such
storms as have visited US the past
would have looked mighty
good to all animal life, and should
there be produced too much" it
would mean that you could in
crease your herd of cattle, horses
and mules.
Break out new land, if you haye
your own, there are plenty of peo-
pie who will allow you the first
crop for breaking, and a deal of
this kind. this year, will be the
biggest kind of an investment.
You can't lose out.
This matter is important. Do
Your share of the boosting.

President Paul Herpalshimer. in his
annual address to the Midwest lmple-

that there was sad need of a national
law which will compel houses using

the goods represented In their adver.
tisements. and not to allow them to
advertise one thing and furnish an
other. or to advertise in a misleading
and deceptive manner The National
Federation is taking necessary steps,
he declares, to obtain such law. and

the desired result.
