effective manner of writing advertisements.
As to "style' we have very little to say.
The man writes best who takes the least
thought of style as he writes. .G
The striving for style usually results in
spelling any natural ability that q writer
may possess. 1t results also, usually, in pro-
ducipg an affected, unpleasant, and uncon-
vincing method Of expressing thought.
Style in writing has no value unless it ex-
presses the natural thinking process of a ma
tural]y interesting mind, with concentration
and care added. -
AS to the writing of advertisements, we
should give no advice other than that which
we should give to the man who might want
to write play, sermon, a legal argument,
or declaration Of independence.
The really successful writer of ADVERTISE
ments must be very able writer--BE-
CAUSE HE CAN'T BE SUCCESSFUL UN-
LESS HE CARRIES CONVICTION. =.
The successful writer of advertisements,
in addition to being CONVINCING, must be
INTERESTING.
He must begin his advertising statement
in such way as to interest the jaded reader,
for whose attention thousands are clamor-
ing.
And, having fixed that readers passing in
terest, he must convince him of both the
truth and the Importance of what he has to
say.
In addition to being interesting and con-
vincing, the good writer of advertisements
must be BUSINESSLIKE. There must be a
sincere, practical ring to what he says. If
a man is asked to spend money, he likes to
feel that he is dealing with practical, COM
petent man. ,....
Therefore, the Really good advertisement
must be interesting, convincing, businesslike,
and practical. -.
In addition, the good writer of ADVERTISE
ments possesses, of course, the quality of
terseness. He must yearn to be brief, with
out being dull and colorless. #.
The man who writes advertisements
spends his employers money with every
word that he puts down. His words must
each have value-or, at least; not one Of
them must be wasted.
When we consider the qualities which a
good writer of advertisements must possess,
it is very easy to understand that certain of
these writer's find their profession more
profitable than that of the successful writer
of fiction or plays.
It may be said, in fact, that any writer,
no matter what his ultimate literary ambi-
tions might be, could add to his equipment
and his efficiency by taking course in the
writing of advertisements under a good
teacher.
Some Of the cleverest writing that is done
in the United States is done by ADVERTISE
ment writer's. The English is good, the
thought is novel, the style is original, BE-
CAUSE THE THINKING PROCESSES ARE.
ORIGINAL.
The literary person would be very foolish
who should affect to- consider the writer of
advertisements as necessarily inferior to the
writer of other literature.
And any man would be doubly foolish if he

is as follows:
I'VE respectfully call your attention

eral Bronson and the members of
the state council of defense with the
exception of the governor, and Mr..
Bronson and I conferred in, the mat

the council Of defense had no author
lily to prohibit the teaching Of Ger
man in religious schools. The county
superintendents, of course, have full
authority to take the matter up with
the superintendent. Investigation
showed further that the instructions
sent you were sent by one of the head
stenographers in Mr.. Box's office,
namely. Mrs. Emeline Clayton. They
were sent you without authority by the
council of defense. 1t is unfortunate
that this has happened, but, of course,
there was nothing for you to do but to

StenO

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 31.-Like Adam
in the Garden of Eden, the council OF
defense OF North Dakota has blamed
1t on woman.
That is the remarkable disclosure
made today by J.. w. Riley, super
intendent Of schools Of Cass county
who makes public correspondence be-
tween himself and the state council
Of defense, and between himself and
Attorney General William LANCER, of
North Dakota, involving the councils
supposed order against German Ian
guage schools in North Dakota.
There's no such order, despite the
fact that the council had issued to
MIR. Riley such ruling. over the sig
nature of Thomas Allan Box, secre-
tary, and despite the fact that the
administration newspapers, whose cor
respondent at Bismarck draws pay
as an employe of the council of de-
tense, had published broadcast the
story of such an order.
StcnOgrapher Is Blamed.
A woman--a stenographer in the
council Of defense without
authority by the council of Defense
is cited by Attorney General LANCER
as being responsible for the issuance
to Mr. Riley late in June of an order
under which mo school or instruction,
of whatever nature. in the German
language. will be allowed in North la
kota, and compliance with this order
must be immediate"

considered the use Of literary skill MIS-
PLACED in writing advertisements.
The writing Of good, truthful advertise
ments results in the distribution of products
on large scale, in stimulating industry, and
very often in reduction of prices to the
consumer since successful, advertising
means an increased demand, enormous pro-
duction, and therefore, smaller prices.
Do not think that the successful writing of
advertisements is an undertaking interesting
to small class only. If it were it would not
attract attention in this column.
.. Every business man is interested in the
question And every young man who hopes
for business success is interested in the writ
ing Of advertisements. There are many
chances for young men to make success as
writers Of advertisements. WITHOUT good
advertising every mans chance of success is
slight in these days. 4. .....-. ..
{. To advertise we'll means to succeed in AT
TRACING ATTENTION.
To give advice in regard to "judicious ad-
vertising" is not easy. There are many
lines of success in all undertakings. Per-
haps few maxins might be constructed that
would be generally useful and true in writing
advertisements.
First would come, in our opinion, the very
old advice from a great writer to "see a
thing clearly and describe it simply"
y Clear VISION and SIMPLE description
those are the essentials of good writing, in
Guiding good advertisement writing.
We should suggest diffidenty, also, that
too much effort at humor is not good in writ
ing advertisements.
If a man is in need of pair of trousers or
on overcoat, he is in earnest. He wants
TROUSERS and NOT joke. -.
Alight touch is good in all writing. But
with that general lightness of tone there
must go solemn earnestness when the mo-
ment comes to impress the reader. We are
acquainted with young man, a manufac-
turer of pills, whose character is not at all
romantic His earnestness exceeds in depth
the Atlantic Ocean. He gives his pills in
gold boxes as wedding presents. He dis
tributes them at Nbanquets. His whole soul
is in those pills. Needless to say, he '
SUCCEEDS. ,...
Extensive advertising is based upon the
desire and extent to establish extensive and
PERMANENT business relations with the
public. ~A. "Is
With such purpose in view, every adver-
Using statement should have for it's founda-
ton TRUTHFULNESS. Nothing will last
that is not based on truth. The advertiser is
shortsighted, a foolish investor, and a future
failure if he begins an advertising campaign
based on falsehood and exaggeration. Such
a campaign may do for circus travelling
from town to town, or for a Barnum, whose
theory was thatFthe people love to be fooled.
They do enjoy harmless "woolly horses"
but they do NOT want cotton in their woolly
shirts.
One Of this countrys most successful mer-
chants has for his sole rule, NEVER TO
PERMIT AN ADVERTISING STATEMENT
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
Others write more brilliant advertisements
than his-but none succeed better.
Which is all we have to say about adver-
Using for the Observation-Disclosures Times.

Lutheran school conducted by Rev.
Fl. Elster in Pontiac township, Cass
county, he ran into a snag--the at
torney general declined to support the
superintendent, and finally declared
that the council Of defense never had
issued any order. .
Same as Elevator Case. So.
In many respects the German Ian
guage school order issued by the coun-
Gil of defense is very much like the
famous order for the confiscation OF
elevators, which was reported adopted
by council members, published as
, adopted by administration papers, and
then denied In that instance Secre-
tary Box made Dorr Carroll, of MinOt,
responsible for giving out "unauthor-
lied" information. ,~
Superintendent Riley, in making
public the correspondence that bares
the German language school issue as
handled by the council of defense and
the attorney general, did so, he an
nounces, as a result OF the fact that
he had been criticized for permitting
the Pontiac German school to- con-
tinue. His correspondence, he says,
shows clearly that he acted so far as
he was able, and that the fault does
not lie with him.
The Order.
The following is the first letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Riley setting forth the
council of defense's supposed order
for closing German schools:
Copy of the letter sent to the fol-
lowing:
Theodore Priewe, C. O. Ocker. and
John WahOska, all at Armenia, North
Dakota.
Dear Sir:
1t has been brought to our atten-
ton that in the public school house,
Armenia Township, Cass county, North
Dakota, there is now being conducted
private school instructing the pu-
pills in the German language and Ger
man subjects. e., .'..
We respectfully call your attention
to the order and ruling of the North
Dakota council of defense; that no
school or instruction, of whatever ma
ture, in the German language will be
allowed in the State of North Dakota,
and the compliance Of this order must
be immediate
Trusting to receive your acknowl-
edgment of this letter and the as
surance of your willingness to obey
the order OF the council of defense
and the wishes of this state.
Yours very truly,

Secretary.
