 ADVERTISING SCHOOL.

There is a great opportunity for any bright and ambitious clerk to make money for his employer by making his advertising more effective. Most clerks will think that this means studying the dictionary for high flown adjectives. and toiling over oopv to produce an imaginative style. This is far from the truth.
 Good advertising is not written out of mans head, no matter how well stuffed, nor with the aid of any dic- tionary or phrase book. It is the product of superior information about goods.
 The next time a salesman comes around, the merchant or his ambitious clerk will do the talking. Let him put the salesman on the witness stand, and fire questions at him abou; the way goods are manufactured. the relative merits of different kinds of material, the relative advantages of different processes. Salesmen study these matters, pretty carefully and they are always glad to communicate information. Let the ad writer take copious notes about every article which he is going to advertise.
 If he has questioned intelligently, and the salesman knows his business, he will be able to tell the public just what material his goods are made of.

STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 7-Opening-Ldt- tie relief from last weeks extreme dullness was promised at the opening of today's market. Improvement in the local strike situation was reflect ed in the greater steadiness of trac- ton issues. but the usual leaders showed virtually no change when quoted at all. A two point gain oc- cured in Long Island. Advances ranging from substantial fractions to over point were scored by Consoh- dated Gas, International Paper pfd., American Locomotive pfd.. Steel Foundries and Railway Steel Spring. Motors again shaded and U. s. Steel soon surrendered slight gain.
 Noon-Less than 60,000 shares were traded in during the first hour and of this small total International Paper. an inconspicuous issue, was leader, some 5000 shares changing hands on an advance of a point, with two points for the preferred. In the more inn portant quarters of the stock list, changes were mostly trivial and with out significance. Motors recovered from their early decline and the metal group rose fractiona1ly.z while Consoi- dated Gas extended its rise to two points Recent 5heayipesss of sugars was renewed and rails were neglected as well as prominent industrials Bonds were irregular.

Large Exports of Footwear

There continues to be a good export demand for leather. and since the lib- eral sales early in the month of sole leather to Great Britain and Russia there has been further trading in sixable quantities of similar stock. A large English buyer is credited with the statement that Great Britain has purchased more leather in the United States during the past six weeks than during the previous six months. Busi- ness here in European army shoes, which was lately on the wane, has also been quite revived by reported contract with Italy entered into by two large Brockton. Mass, manufac- turers, estimated as between 600.00o and 100000 pairs.
 Tho increased buying of leather and shoes has encouraged harness and saddlery manufacturers to hope for more business in their lines of leather goods. but nothing has developed so far in those products, and the limited use of cavalry in the European war may account for this to some extent. During the early period of the war large supplies of harness and saddles were purchased here. but during a |year past this buying has decreased

materially. The government figures giving the exports for Il months end ing May 31 show that $5,226,92o worth of harness and saddles were sent abroad during this period, as against $15.921.069 in 1915 and $721,- 983 for 1914 for the same time.
 The United States has held it's trade better in boots and shoes than in any other made-up leather goods. The eleven months exports of shoes were $43,7S6,859, as against 0,340,469 in 1915 and 16,617,829 in 1914 for the same period. Even shipments of wo- mems and children's shoes have in creased, but the great gain has natur- ally, been in mems footwear. During the last eleven months the shoe ex- ports of $43,7se,s59 have been out of total of $59.s77.072 of all kinds of leather goods. or about 73 per cent, whereas last year the 20,340.469 of shoes were out of a total of $48,471,- 147 leather goods. or only about Al per cent. xxi
 The extensive export business is shown in the total of all kinds of tam ned leather and manufactures, which in the eleven month period amounted to $132,S22,26O, as compared with $107,539.462 the year previous and $52,755.071 two years ago.

TAKING SUMMER BoARDERs.

Some years ago 1t was common for the farmers to take summer boarders from the cities. Farmers were not as we'll off then as now, and $10 a week for a couple of months from three or four people looked better than it would now.
 It was a rather amusing meeting of different types of people. The city folks laughed at the country people, and the country people laughed at the city folks. The boarders loung- ed around the farm, showing at ev- cry turn their ignorance of practical country life. They were unable to tell the difference between hay and oats. or between moving machine and horse rake. 'They enjoyed hugely the rusticity of their hosts. whose lack of sophistication furnished themes for conversation all winter.
 At the same time people of substan- tialf worth came to appreciate each other, even if their experiences had been different. The country people were frightened up by their alert city visitors, and the city people found qualities of sturdy manhood and wo- manhood that do not always grow in the unwholesome conditions of urban life.
 Nowadays farmers are dealing with bigger items and see little profit in a few boarders. Any apparent pro- ceeds are eaten up by improvements and extras that they call for. The business has gone mostly into the hands of small boarding houses often kept by women who make a speciality of this work.
 The drift of summer travel has gone also in other directions. A host of people who used to board during va cations now own little shacks and cottages. or rent them. Others are tearing around on dusty motor tours. Still others prefer more lively resorts, where there is society and sports: It might be better for restless people if they were willing to settle down in quiet country homes as they used to do.

 This kind of advertising sells goods. because it helps the housewife pick out things that have quality for moderate prices. She not merely feels that the store has good values, but she is made to look at the merchant and his clerks as experts in their line, and people who have studied into the real nature of merchandise, and whose Judgment can be banked on.
