Short of Second Observation-Disclosures
Regular Army Needs 1900 Young
Officers.

President Benton, as head of an educa-
tional institution designated by the war
department as distinguished institu-
ton, has received word from the adiu-
tant general of the United States that
about 1900 vacancies now exist in the
grade of second lieutenant in the regular
army and that examinations open to can
didates from civil life will be held the
2lst of August. Preference is given first
to the graduates of West Point, then to
enlisted men and lastly to candidates
from civil life but with the present un-
usual demand for new officers large
number must come from civil life. Of
these, the undergraduates and graduates
under 81 years of age of colleges having
instruction in military science are pre-
ferred.
Many of the graduates of the Uni
versity of Vermont in recent years now
in civil life in Vermont and elsewhere
are partially qualified for these army
position and may want to direct inquiries
to the office of the adjutant general of
the United States for fuller informa
tion.

How to Advertise.

| There is a great opportunity for any
bright ind ambitious clark 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
toiIing over copy to produce an magma
tive style. This is far from the truth.
| Good advertising is not written out OF
a mans head, no matter how well stuffed
nor with the aid of any dictionary or
phrase book. 1t is the product of supe-
rior information about goods.
The next time 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 about the way
goods are manufactured, the relative
merits of different kinds OF material, the
relative advantages of different processes.
Statesmen study these matters pretty
carefully and they are always glad to
communicate the 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 ma
terial his goods are made of, and why
that material is desirable, just what
processes and fittings are used, and why
they are superior. He will describe the
little touches that give style and individ.
ual distinction to fabrics. In the case
of food products, he win make the reader
feel as If he wanted to have the thing
for his dinner.
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, as people who
have studied into the real nature of mer-
chandise and whose Judgment can be
banked on.-Quiney Mass Patriot.
