Newspaper Advertising.

The St Adams (vt.) Messenger
says:
One more Franklin county business
concern decides to forsake advertising
wagons, b%illboards, store windows
and other similar expensive and
other ineffective methods Of advertis-
ing and will employ space in news
papers hereafter. They will all come
to it in time. Advertising pays il the
mar who has something to sell so reg
ulates his advertising as to convince
other people that 1t is worth buying.
All the substitutes for newspaper ad-
yertising a be easily avoided or dis
regarded by the very people the ad-
vertiser tries hardest to attract, the
man or woman who can afford to buy.
They do not stand gaping at bill
boards, they do not take in handbills.
and they will not bother with circu-
lars in the mail because they are too
busy. But their old friend the news
paper is taken into the inmost privacy
of the family circle. 1t is discussed
at the breakfast table and at the sup
per, it is read at leisure in the eve
ming, and its pages are scrutinized
with the interest born of long habit
and discriminating taste. An adver-
tisement in that newspaper goes into
the family circle and cannot be ex-
cluded.

ment of Agriculture.)
The object of the department OF ag-
riculture in forming boys and girls
poultry clubs is to give better knowl-
edge Of the value and Importance of
the poultry industry and the market
ing Of a first-class, uniform product, to
teach better methods of caring for the
poultry and eggs, and to show the in
creased revenue to be derived from
well-bred poultry where proper meth
DDS of management are pursued.
Statistics show that the loss due to
the improper handling Of eggs through
out the country Is enormous, extend.
ing into many millions of dollars an
nually. 1t Is an equally established
fact that strictly fresh eggs command
a higher price than those commonly
designated as store eggs, and If the
farmer, who is the largest producer OF
this well-known p~erishable commodity,
would take more care in selecting,
grading and marketing this product
he would receive a price higher than
the average market one for his eggs.
On many farms throughout the
country the money derived from the
sale of poultry and eggs buys the gro.
ceries and clothing for the entire fam.
lily. The money from this source may
be substantially increased by eetab.
fishing a private trade in eggs of good
quality with hotels, restaurants. etc..
in towns and cities.
The department has Issued the fol.
towing suggestions to the organizers
Of poultry clubs:
Throughout the year meetings
should be held to discuss the different
problems of poultry management, and
at such meetings the animal hus-
bandry division of the bureau of ami.
NAL industry, will have in attendance,
whenever possible, n Of its special
lists on poultry to assist in solving
such questions or problems as might
arise and to give whatever help and
information he can to the members on
such subjects as selection Of stock,

RED RUM-MURDER.

A barrel of whisky contains some
thing more than an ordinary barrel
of the same size; for, in addition to
the regulation forty-two gallons, it
contains:
A barrel of headaches, of h~eartaches,
of woes;
A barrel of curses, a barrel of blows;
A barrel of tears of a world-weary
wife;
A barrel Of sorrow, a barrel Of strife:
A barrel of all-unavailing regret;
A barrel of cares and a barrel Of debt;
A barrel Of hunger, Of poison, of pain;
A barrel of hopes ever blasted and
vain;
A barrel of f%alsehood, a barrel of cries
That fall from the maniac's lips as he
dies;
A barrel of poverty, ruin and blight;
A barrel of terror that grows with the
night.
A barrel of crimes and a barrel OF
groans;
A barrel OF orphans most pitiful
means;
A barrel of serpents that hiss as they
pass
From the head of the liquor that
glows in the glass.
Beware, all men of the glass!

The new coiffures are still in the ex-
detrimental stage. The high hairdress
and the colonial styles are bidding for
popular favor. We know that changes
are coming because new millinery
makes them necessary. We may be
fairly certain that high styles will be
worn, and perfectly certain that colt
fures are not to be as plain as they
have been. But no one mode has
seized the popular fancy as yet. There

experiment and mix up the styles of

No centuries or peoples are too remote
to be without the pale of our interest
when it m to getting ideas for new
styles.

DY way of departing from the close

modern goddesses have dared to com
bine the old classic Psyche knot with
a strictly twentieth century arrange

Is pictured here, and the effect Is
rather pretty. 1t is better from the
front than from the sides, because in
the modern hair dress the brow is

gives much thought to dress. is respon-

centuries apart, the ideas are not too
fncongruous, and the resulting couture
has found a number of devotees.
The arrangement is simple enough.
The front hair is trimmed in a light
fringe across the forehead, and slop-
ing upward over the temples. The
side hair is parted off and rolled into
a soft twist. 1t is laid in a coil in

WHAT ADVERTISER
SHOULD AIM TO DO
Make Business So Well Known
That Purchaser Will Think
First of Him.

The first question, which every adj
yertiser should ask, Is, What am 1
trying to accomplish" Most business
men would say, that the obvious an
swer is. that they are trying to get
more business.
That is true, as far as the present
is concerned. But, If advertising were
measured only by what it car do for
the one year. it would be, in many
cases. a poor investment. What you
are really trying to accomplish, is to
make the essential facts, with regard
to your business, a part of the ordi-
nary fund of knowledge of every one
in the community, state, or the whole
country, as the case may be, from
which you expect to draw trade. Your
advertising should make your business
80 favorably known, that when the
time comes to buy something you SELL,
the average person in your community
will think of you first and feel that
he would prefer to buy it of you.
This a only be done by continuous
and persistent advertising. In thic
sense, circulars are not advei Using.
A catalogue is not advertising. Even
personal solicitation, however efec-
tive, is not advertising. Neither is a
card in a newspaper once in a while,
in this sense advertising. II a young
man walks in one door Of a college
and walks out Of the other, he has not
received a college education. Neither
does the sending out a few circulars,
or an occasional newspaper advertise
ment constitute an advertising cam
paign.
A young man learns Greek by going
to his Greek class from three to five
times a week. Looking at a Greek
book once in a while, does not teach
him Greek. Continued and regular
repetition is the method employed In
college. Advertising depends on ex-
actly the same foundation. The pub
lie will become most thoroughly &C.
quainted with your business by seeing
its advertisement In a newspaper day
after day.
Don't expect too much from your
first few months advertising, any
more than you expect three months
OF college to give a high school boy a
complete education.
There is no less certainty in the re-
suits from newspaper advertising than
the results Of sending a student to
college. The uncertainty is not in the
college, but in the young man and the
regularity OF his attendance. The I'M
certainty of newspaper advertising il
not in a certain newspaper, but in
the copy and the regularity with which
1t appears. Results come by exactly
the same process, which is a psyche
logical process, in both cases.

OUR VITAL ASSETS.

gold or silver mountings of a much
lighter pattern than the rather clumsy
originals. Even earrings are made Of
very small canoes, mounted on thin
gold chains, and very pretty they are,

looking exceedingly well for day wear,
with costumes of the new dull cop
