SECRET OF ADVERTISING
(From Leslie's)

'Tiphi bNSiit =
Advertising! Bradstreet's
statement that "a per cent Of
all failures are among non-ad-
vertisers is significant. Intelli-
gent advertising has become an
essential in every modern indus
try, but what shall the adver-
tiser do in the face of the war
situation when he finds it diff
cult to get goods to fill his or
ders? First of all, it should be
remembered that the foundation
purpose of judicious advertising
is to fix indelibly the trademark
in the public's mind. A let-up
in that campaign must be fatal
to any product. So, we find Mr..
George H. Charts, vice president
of the American Rolling Mill
company, declaring the COM
pany's purpose to continue it's
advertising, although for two
and a half years it had been I'M
able to supply the demand for
it's product. 1--WE are building"
said he, "a permanent business
ediice, and some day we would
have to spend millions Of dollars
buying back the business and
! goodwill of our clients if they
\ are forsaken in this emergency"
& Unless advertising is kept up
4 without a break the advertiser
\ loses the results of the initial
\ effort" Here is a warning to
8 the advertiser who neglects the
4 dull season in summer. When
y advertisements are fewest is the
8 very time when a message to
. the public will get the most at
tention. 1t is good psychology"
to push the advertisement of a
q winter product in summer and
8 of a summer product in winter.

CONSERVE YARN

1t has been noticed in other cities
That the knitting industry has in
creased greatly since so many ladies
have learned to knit for the soldiers.
They have become so fascinated with

heir work farther and are knitting
Tor themselves. This would be a good
sign II 1t were not that the yarn is
needed for the soldiers socks and
jweaters, and the ladies would show
heir patriotism to better advantage
by subordinating personal desires to

ieved that there are any ladies in

The government is to begin sur
vey of the farms, to ascertain just
how short of help farmers are. This
will not help a great deal, for any,
body knows that the farmers are short
of help without going to so much
trouble. What the government should
do is to make survey of the towns
and cities and ferret out the men in
the stores and the offices and those
lettering about the streets, who could
just as well be out assisting in grow
ing crops to feed world threatened
with starvation and this is just about
what the government will have to do.
Many man who is WORKING for sal
ary in town can be spared for a few
months. 1t may cause the employers
to do a little more work but we've all
got to take the bitter with the sweet
until this war is over. Undoubtedly
when it comes to show down, many
town folks will gladly go into the
country for few weeks to t~ke the
places Of the $4,000 North Dakota
farmer boys who have been called to
the colors. Some of the city men may
not be able to tell a crupper from a
belly band, but they'd soon learn I'M
der the guidance of the patient farm
er and perhaps work up an appetite so
that they would not be quite so par
ticular whether they had graham
bread to eat on wheatless days or
blind robin on days that are meatless.

1t is encouraging to learn that the
commissioners have learned that there
was enough wheat grown and retain
ed in Ward county the past season to
furnish seed for the present year.
While the wheat crop was very light,
the quality was excellent, which is
usually the case where there is
crop shortage from drouth. The
wheat that withstood the drouth must
have been strong, vigorous plants. The
berries are plump and the seed is the
best in years.

A report from the state of Wash
ington states that there is great
surplus of beans and potatoes in that
state and the market is very weak.
In one county in Washington, fifty
per cent of the potatoes stored in pits
have rotted during the past winter.
There is something wrong with the
manner of marketing those products.
It seems pity that there is not some
way of getting these products to the
starving people of some of our great
cities,
