Be systematic and methodical in your adver-

think of this advertising writing something Of little
importance and an unpleasant task? Change your
attitude by changing your viewpoint Change
your viewpoint by learning how to write advertis-
ing Start to learn how by putting in the next
issue of the paper an advertisement that is care
fully prepared and to which you have given at least
four hours of thought and attention. Do not put
this off, but start today. Begin to build up larger
business and better-service store
If your advertisements do not bring results,
ask yourself why. Doa little thinking about this.
AS one great advertiser, says, There Reason
If you think advertising does not pay take two or
three articles and push them with good steady ad-

Do not expect to see results from five or six ad-

OUR IRISH POPULATION

Tomorrow, Saturday, March
17th, the l, 45Oth anniversary of
the death of st. Patrick, patron
saint of Ireland, will be celebrated
by more than 4,50O,0 600 persons
in the United States. This num-
ber, As per cent of the total
population of the nation, does
not include those of Irish descent,
but only those who were born in
Ireland or in this country of Irish
parents.
While the Census Bureau pos
sesses no available statistics
showing the number of persons
in the United States whose ar
cestors were of Irish extraction
the character of the population
of the melting pot of nations
precluding the gathering of exact
figures of this nature for any
given nationality has been esti-
mated that at least one person in
every three in this country has
Irish blood in his veins, though
it may be very much diluted IN
some cases.
This would mean that some
33, 333, 600 persons are legitimate
ly entitled to wear the shamrock
tomorrow - probably a greater
percentage than can be boasted
by any other nation which has
contributed to our national well
fare and increase in population.
Of the 4,50O, 600 persons of i'm
mediate Irish extraction now in
the United States, l, $50, 600 were
born on the Emerald Isle and
$3.50, 900 are the offspring of
Irish parentage, at least on one
side. This latter total is divided
by the Census Bureau into 2, l4O,-
600 of foreign parentage and
1,O10, 900 of mixed parentage,
either the father or mother being
a native of Ireland.
1t is interesting to note that
the total number of Irish stock"
this being the title used by
the Census Bureau in computing
the persons of immediate foreign
descent-at present in the United
States, agrees approximately
with the total number of Irish
immigrants since 1920, the first
year in which the government
kept any complete record of
foreign immigration.
In the past nlnety-slX years
the government figures show
that the United States has alb
sorbed 4,4l9, 401 natives of Ire
land, a figure which constitutes
about IA per cent of the total
number of immigrants during
this time and which is greater
than that of any other foreign
country, with the exception of
Germany.
The arrival of this large num-
ber of Irish persons, particularly
during the middle of the last
century, when the United States
was in its formative condition,
accounts for the great percent
age of Irish blood now in the
veins of the nation and the wide
spread interest which always at
tends the discussion of Irish pro-
blems and the celebration of
Irish holidays. - Los Angeles

BEETLES THAT CHEW TOBACCO.

its activity one might be justified IN
