Cotton Staple Cloth Material.

The worlds production OF raw silk
increases little, II at all. Japan shows
considerable gain. which is Offset by
losses In other silk-raising countries.
The worlds wool clip is stationary or
declining. The festive goat of angora
persuasion is multiplying his offspring
and his fleeces. but 1t will be many a
day before mohair takes leading posi-
ton in the textile trade
Meantime the population OF the
world is increasing. and the average
individual uses more clothing than
ever before.
This condition throws heavy and
increasing burden on cotton, which
more and more is becoming the staple
clothing material. Our southern plant
ers are ready to bear this burden-for
consideration-but 1t is not a
healthy state of affairs for the world
at large. Viewing the situation broadly,
one can understand why any expert
ment which promises a new cloth ma
king material is followed with such
eager interest by scientists. manufac-
turers and governments. Chicago

ing to attract the crowd, but | would
be deluding myself II l mistook the
nature of their attention.
The new advertiser is especially
prone to misjudge between amusing
and convincing copy. A humorous pic
ture may catch the eye of every
reader. but 1t won't pay as well as
an illustration of some piece Of mer-
ohandIse which will strike the eye of
every buyer. Merchants secure vary
ing results from the same advertising
space. The publisher delivers to each
the same quality Of readers, but the
advertiser who plants flIppancy in the
minds of the community won'Ssattain
the benefit that is secured by the
merchant who imprints cIlnching argu-
ments there.
Always remember that the advertis-
Ing sections of newspapers are noydif-
ferent than farming lands. AndHt is
as preposterous to hold the publisher
responsible for the outcome of unin-
telligent copy as 1t would be unjust to
blame the soil for bad seed and poor
culture. Every advertiser gets exactly
the same number Of readers from a
publisher and the same readers-after
that It's up to him-the results fluctu-
ate In accordance with the intelligence
and the pulling power OF the copy
which is inserted.
