IDEAS ON ADVERTISING
(Cootinmed from page one.)

to make the blood flow more freely
That the blood stains might not
show too much. the pole was paint
ed red. After the operation the
pole was hung outside the shop. and
the linen bandages which had been
used were twisted around it to dry.
And 80 all BARRIERS are using the
pole for advertising.
The largest and most important
mediums for advertising, is the mag
azines and newspapers. In the Ian
guage of advertising, a magazine is
a monthly publication, while those
published once a week, such as Les
les, Golfers, Saturday Evening
Post, and many others are known
as weekly" There has always
been some dispute which is the best
for advertising, weekly or monthly
publication. A magazine lasts thirty
days. while newspaper dies every
day. Newspapers appeal to those
who want to sell something quickly
As advertising may be prepared and
inserted in any newspaper within
twenty-four hours, while the same,
advertising, or copy" intended for
magazine must be ready from
three to eight weeks in advance of
the date of publication, according
to the size of the magazine.
OF the daily papers, there are
about 200 copies for every 1000
inhabitants. OF weeklies there are
about 600. and of the magazines
about the same number. Outside
Of this we must remember there are
many printed in foreign languages
of which German is first, French
the last, or least number printed.
All of these are considered good for
advertisers.
Of the monthly magazines, The
Ladies Home Journal is considered
to carry the largest circulation. The
price is $500 per agate line. An
agate line is one-fourteentb of an
inch. and the space ia measured by
width of the column, not by the
width of the page. A single page
used one time costs $4,000; this
same price also refers to Saturday
Evening Post. double page in the
Post would cost $4,000 for one
copy.
Many of the high class papers
and magazines have adopted the idea
that is to have a strict censorship
over all advertising admitted to its
paper. And also guarantee to refund
any money paid for any goods that
were not as they were advertised.
I will name one instance taken from
the Printers Ink" A man had
ordered goods to the value of $25. 90

ment. The check had been cashed
and the money was hopelessly en-
tangled in the bankrupt business.
Complaint was made to Mr.. Spaul-

Post. and, after investigation. he
sent a check for the full amount.
Under the old way this man would
have lost his money.

ayers, Agents, or Advertising
Solicitors.
The manager must prepare all
the advertisements, and make all
plans for the campaign. He
usually has two or three men
under him. A solicitor must call
upon advertisers, and try to get
all the ads he can. Every news
paper has two or more of such
men.
These men must know a great
deal about advertising. if not, they
will not succeed. According to
statistics the average lawyer earns
two thousand dollars year, The
top-notch lawyers get two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.
It is the same in advertising,
good men make good money. But
there are also thousands of young
men and women who earn salaries
so small that they could earn just as
much in any line of commercial
work. But they are classed as ad-
vertising men and women. A great
many will never get any further.
The average advertising manager
earns from $500 to $500, even
$4,000 in some cases. but those
are exceptions.
To be successful, he must pc ssess
certain qualities, and, above all /
have training, he should have a
knowledge of human nature; he
should know what people think and
feel, and in what way to reach them.

Medf0rd Lab0rer
Killed in Fight

John Cox, a laborer of Medford
was killed in a saloon brawl with
Kelly Jackson of that place Saturday
evening.
According to the police version
Jackson and Cox engaged in fight
in which Cox was knocked down
The police say they have witnesses
who will testify that Cox begged Jack
son not to hit him further and that
the final blow felled him, his head
striking on the pavement. He be-
came unconscious. What the men
were fighting about has not been de-
termined.
Cox was employed as blacksmith
by the Roguelands Canal Company
and came to Medford Friday with his
wages, $65. There was no evidence
that he had been drinking. Little is
known Of him.
Jackson has been employed on
fruit ranches in this section for the
last month, returning but recently.
He was fairly well known in this sec
tion.
At the inquest held Monday the
coroner's jury exonerated Jackson
from any blame. An examination
showed death resulted from hemor-
rhage Of the brain, thought to have
been due from excitement and the
heat.
The seven witnesses examined tes-
titled that Jackson had pushed Cox
out of the doorway of Selby's saloon
because of his abuse of an old man.

Baptist Church Notes.

In these days the Baptist church is
seeing the after effects of the Bruce
Evans meeting. The two prayer
meetings since the meetings have
been attended by just twice as many
as the average before. To the six
studies given by the pastor for the
young converts most of those who
signed cards for the Baptist church
came. Then on lasts Sunday thirteen
went down into the waters of bap-
tism. Four also have Joined by let
ter.
On Sunday morning the Sunday
school kept Children's day, postponed
on account of the Bruce meetings.
The church was beautifully decorated
with greens and flowers. And the
birds and the children made music
all through the program. After songs,
exercises and recitations, the pastor
gave a short talk to the children, us
ing the Stars and Stripes as an object
lesson.
A good audience turned out in the
evening. The theme was Waiting

Stony Soils and Orchards.

A stony loan is often recommend
ed as a desirable fruit soil, but stones
are advantageous only in that they
may help a soil that is. too heavy or
clayey or too impervious, by making
1t somewhat more pervious to water.
The fact that soil is steny does not
necessarily imply that it is product
i've. If apples are to be grown with
profit, and competition is keen, the
soil must be productive or at least
capable of being brought to a pro-
ductive state and so maintained.
Much of the current belief that stony
soils possess some peculiar advan-
tages for orchard fruits has undoubt-
edly arisen from the success of many
orchards located on stony hills.
