United States Senator JAS II. Var
daman delivered an address in the
Agricultural High School this after
noon to one Of tie largest crowds ev-
er assembled in Purvis ON political
occasion In the course of his re-
marks he reviewed many Of the
events leading up to the declaration
of war against Germany, and made a
strong defense of his record in the
Senate, stating this his every act in
that body was in the interest Of the
people of Mississippi whom he rep
resented The closest attention was
given the Senator throughout his
entire address and was vociferously
cheered at several intervals.

Secrets
PROPER DISPLAY.

After deciding upon the purpose of
an advertisement, the advertiser de-
termines how to build 1t so as to at
tract your attention and get you to
read 1t.
The most important points In the
announcement arD usually featured in
what is known as display lines. These
display lines are to the advertisement
what the framework is to a house.
The rest of the advertisement is built
around thep.
Display lines are generally very
carefully chosen, both as regards the
sense they convey and the style of
display.
The advertiser knows that if these
display lines are plain, easy to read
and contrast well with the smaller
type in the body of the advertisement,
they are likely to be the first parts of
the advertisement you will read.
Then upon their success or failure
to interest you depend his chances for
you to read the rest of the advertise
ment. So he usually chooses the most
interesting features of the advertise
ment for these display lines, so as to
convince you that the announcement
is sufficiently important to merit your
attention.

Secrets
USEFUL ILLUSTRATIONS.

Appropriate and attractive illustra-
lions help the proper display lines
attract your attention and gain your
interest.
Unattractive illustrations and Illus
trations having no connection with
the subject advertised oftentimes do
more harm than good.
For instance, the picture of per-
spring iceman carrying a cake of ice
in an advertisement announcing "Hot
Weather Millinery" might suggest hot
weather, but not In the attractive
manner necessary to interest you i'm
the line of hats advertised.
The first Impression you might gain
from such an illustration is that ice
is being advertised. Not being inter-
ested in changing ice dealers, perhaps,
you pay no further attention to the
advertisement. And yet you might be
in the market for new hat and would
have been interested In the announce
ment had 1t pictured some attractive
model wearing a stylish hat.
Successful advertisers view their
advertising from their customers
viewpoint. They judge their illustra-
lions, as we'll as the other parts of
their advertisements, by the effect
upon them If they we're customers.
And this helps them prepare good ad-
vertising

EDITORIAL

There were some suggestions
thrown out in the Grand Jurys re-
port with reference to the likelihood
of there being supplies disappearing
from the county road camp crews.
We were so full up on court stuff at
the time that we could not comment
upon same then. We now desire to
do so. The Grand Jury said that
they had made sufficient investIga
ton to discover that such could be
gong on, but had not located definite
cases, but strong suspicious. That
is not the words but about the sub
stance of that part of their report as
we remember it. We heartily APP
prove their recommendation that the
county authorities be vigilant about
watching over and peering into such
matters so as to safeguard the coun-
TVS interests in this respect, and we
trust that If there really be oifense
in the directions named, that the
guilty or maybe careless ones will
take to heart the admonition which
this publicity has given and see that
there is no further cause for com
plant in that respect.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1917-11-30

A DEFINITE PURPOSE.

The first step in writing a good adj
.vertisement Is to decide definitely upon
the duty which 1t is expected to per-
form.
An advertisement written at ran
dom to fill Il certain amount of space
cannot be expected to bring profitable
returns.
The successful advertiser knows
just what purpose he wishes to ac-
complish with every advertisement be-
fore he prepares 1t. Then he can
write his message intelligently and ex-
pect it to be read with interest.
Sometimes he may wish to announce
the arrival of new line of merchan-
disc. Another time he may decide to
offer reduced prices on certain ar
tieles.
But whatever the purpose of the an
nouncement, the successful advertiser
has that purpose in mind throughout
the entire preparation of the adver-
tisement. His display lines, illustra-
lions and text all reflect the message
he wishes to send.
After all, the object of most adver-
tisements is to induce you to visit the
advertisers store. And just as there
are different reasons why you might
wish to so there, so are there different
purposes for which advertisements
might be prepared.

earnestness ''when such training does

Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more excited and enthusiastic
than ever. He had a plan. He knew
Jimmie owned colt worth 500; that
he would make ALMOST another 500 on
his potatoes if they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought $100~Liberty bond.
Billie's plan was to have Jimmie cash
in and go with him. He was disap-
pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quivering, he
said: 'T'm mighty sorry to leave jim

Uncle Dan was silent a moment or
two, then he asked Billie to go down
to the orchard and get him some APP
pies to eat on the train. While he was
gone, 1t was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would adj
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could go. When Billie returned
he was told about 1t. He ran to the
phone and called Jimmie, saying:
"Come on over, run just as fast as you
can, I've got the greatest news you
ever heard Of"
