SLACK TRADE
AND ADVERTISING

One of the most peculiar manifesto
tons of psychological phenomena is the
disposition of a certain class of business
man to cut down his advertising appro-
priation when his business slackens so
that he feels the necessity of economic
ing. He seems to feel that the habit of
advertising is something akin to vice
and as advertising is one of the easiest
of vices to conquer he makes drastic
cuts in his advertising outlay whenever
his income lessons.
A man of this calibre ordinarily does
a small business and is desperately in
need of attracting attention to the goods
he has to sell. He does not realize that
judgment is needed in the selection of
his mediums and that if adver tisements
do not draw" it is probably because he
does not know how to prepare his copy"
If he advertises spasmodically and
does not make it pay him an immediate
profit he is prone to condemn the medi-
UNI and decide that advertising is de-
fusion and snare. And he is among
the first to blame his troubles upon pol
itics and the administration. Here is
an instance of the effectiveness of adj
vertising in bad" times
When at the close of 1907 a firm
which manufactures household neces-
sity found that it was losing business be-
cause OF the financial stringency it did
not follow the example Of one of its
most prominent competitors. Instead
it increased its advertising appropria-
ton for 1908 from $3.50, 900 to $500, 900.
While the business of its competitors
dried up during that year this firm held
its own. In 1909 it kept up the cam
paign and as a result broke its record
r., Ils-Q &c
the goods in its particular line and is
looked upon with resentment by its
struggling contemporaries as a trust. "
1t takes brains to build up business
aad there is little of that feature in the
type4of business man who when he be
gins to suffer from construction of sales
cuts down his advertising appropriation
and tells all and sundry that the country
is going to the dogs because of change
in the tariff schedules. New York Com

The testimony of great men in ac-
acknowledgement of the boundless debt
they owe to their mothers would make

history to to-day. Few men, indeed,
become great who do not owe their
greatness to mothers love and in

There is no one in the average fam

and yet there is no one who is more

CORRECT ENGLISH.

Query-Which is correct: Tomorrow
will be Sunday, or tomorrow is Sunday?
Reply-Both are right. Tomorrow
will be Sunday, or tomorrow isSunday.
The standard OF usage in matters of
this kind is established by authors who
are acknowledged writer's OF good Eng
lish, and there are supporters OF both
forms.
Query-Kindly advise me as to the
correctness of the use of the word
boughten.
Reply-The word boughten is loo
alsm used to distinguish goods pur-
chased in store or shop from those
that are home made. Inasmuch as the
shorter word bought---expresses the
idea correctly and without ambiguity,
one sees no reason for perpetuating the
longer and more confusing boughten.
The imperfect past participle of buy is
bought; not boughten. Why not use
it?
Query-Is there good authority for
the increasing use of like as con-
iunclive adverb, as in the sentence. Try
to do this like do.
Reply-Like, is the adverbial sense
of sin the manner of, as 'He speaks
like philosopher, is correctly used,
but the tendency to treat this word as
conjunction (Which it is not in sub
stituton for as is altogether wrong.

Board Of Agriculture has contracted
for eight bands and one orchestra.

fair week, Sept. II to IS.
The largest band engaged is the
famous Sheboygan band OF ffty-hva
pieces. This organization was the
musical hit Of the fair In 1913, and
this is why it has been re-engaged for
the 1914 fair. The band includes fifty
five men, and it will be at the fair on
Tuesday, Milwaukee Day and on Wed.
nesday, State and Governors Day.
All OF the other bands engaged come
highly recommended, and they include
from twenty-five to thirty-fye men.
A feature of the fair music this year
will be a State Fair march written
by Walter Clauder who has succeeded
The late Joseph Clauder as leader OF
the Clauder band Mr.. Clauder Is at
