WEEPING WATER, Neb.. March -
CSpecial)-Jacob Domingo. who returned
few days ago from Alsen. Germany,
where he had been visiting for nine
months has some interesting things to
tell of conditions in the war countries.
The vicinity that We was in, was near
the border line between Germany and
war zone; though the effects Of the war
were keenly felt even thele. In passing
through the country, on a railroad train,
a war so near, were 1t not for the sol
diers seen everywhere. IL seems that
one would scarcely realize that there was
everyone is a soldier Many of those
seen are wounded and the hospitals even
in that part of the land are crowded
with the wounded. AS to economic, con-
ditions, MIR. Domingo reports that the
farm work is being carried on to about
the same extent as usual. the boys and
old men doing the work, but IL is doubt
full II the new crops will mature in time
to save the country from dire need. Many
varieties of grain and provisions are
very scarce now and prices eXorhitant.
Rye. wheat and barely all command
price of not less than s. a bushel, while
oats with which the animals are fed
mostly, would command almost any
price, Mr. Domingo returned by way OF
Denmark and he states that that coun-
try has almost sold itself poor, in sup
plying Germany.

The Pulling Power
Of Personality

Some one has asked the
question, "What is the real
pulling power in PUBLICITY"
What element in "copy"
grips and holds the atten-
ton of the reader until a
definite and lasting impress
sion is made7
Copy" is the soul of Ad-
vertising. A whole lot of
persons are engaged in max
ing money out of the bust
ness of advertising. The
man who induces the adver-
tiser to advertise must have
something. Whether the
publisher or the advertiser
pays his commission is of
little consequence. Every
man who makes money has
to have some one coax him
into it. The men who have
grown rich out of stock in
the Cobalt mines did not go
into it voluntarily. They
were talked into it. You
know very well you ought to
carry life insurance. The
wisdom of making some pro-
vision for loved ones in the
event of death is no longer
open to argument. But, just

What is it that makes you
listen for the alarm bell as
YOU read an advertisement of
the Big Ben clocki You eX-
pect to be walked every min
ute--in fact you want to be
walked up by Big Ben-not
by an ordinary alarm clock.
The ordinary alarm clock
suggests a shiver and a
shock on a cold, frosty
morning before daylight.
You don't welcome its intru-
sion into your bedroom. You
are tempted to throw it out
of the window the first time
it gets busy. AS you read the
Big Ben advertising from
day to day, however, you are
conscious of a growing af-
lection for that clock. You
begin to want him for a
roommate. The man who
wrote that advertising could
sell you a Big Ben alarm
clock in a few moments if he
met you face to face.
Personality is the dyna-
mics of advertising. 1t is in

the same, you must pay some
one to come around and
"talk" you into it. The man
who talks you into it must
have a commission for tell
ing you what you already
know. He leads you up to
the point of decision.
But in the final analysis
it is "copy" that does the
trick. All this machinery of
publicity with accumulated
Overhead" charges and in
cidental commission will
bring nothing to the adver-
tiser if the copy" does not
attract the interest and at
tention of readers. If the
"copy" does not make con-
sumers for the product the
comprehensive ub Ii ity
plans are a dismal failure.
In fact "copy" is all there
is to Advertising. And all
there is to "copy" is person
ality-which, in this in
stance, is merely another
word for craftsmanship. Per
sonality is the pulling power
in all successful advertising.
The merchant who can pro-
ject his own personality into
his advertising brings about
a certain intimate contact
between himself and his Gus
toners. He establishes an

The world has been max
ing sausage a long time. No
one knows who invented sau-
cage, but it remained for a
farmer out in Wisconsin by
the name Of Jones to invent
"A new way of selling it. He
made some sausage out of
the sweet, juicy, tender lean
meat Of little pigs for local
consumers. After his neigh
bors got a taste of it of
course he couldn't make
enough of it. No one is GO
ing to eat ordinary sausage
made from tough and husky
rooters when he can get sau-
sage made from the succu-
lent meat of little pigs. And
if his neighbors liked it, why
shouldn't he make it on a
larger scale!
And so along came the
dust proof package of Cit
tie pig" sausage which is
such a familiar sight in gro
ceries and meat shops. And
the advertising that Jones
puts out is nothing more
than the kind of talk that
Jones would give to a neigh
