ing is unsuccessful is because it is pre-
pared in thoughtless fashion by
some one who has not studied his sub
ject nor had any definite idea of what
he wanted to say.
AS the advertising of the store is
one of the most important tasks in the
whole business, the proprietor ought
to look after it himself and give it
the time and attention it deserves.
Then his policy finds expression in his
own printed words and he is truly
the head of the enterprise and of its
advertising las he should be.
There is man ultimilionaire manu-
facturer not far away who says that
he can hire men to do his buying, to
look after the cash, for manufacture
ing, but that he cannot find one who
can look after the advertising to his
satisfaction. He considers it his most
important work, and his success justi-
flies his statement.

SOLDIERS INSURANCE
PLAN WORKED OUT

The conditions under which soldiers
insurance may be converted into
standard forms of insurance were an
nounced on January 81 by Colonel
Henry d Lindsey of the war risk in
surance bureau. The rates have not
been announced but will be made
nublic very soon and beginning at the
date of such announcement the men
may make the conversion into other
forms of insurance up to five years
from the date of separation from the
service.
Six different kinds of policies will
be offered, ordinary life, twenty pay
ment life, thirty payment life, twenty
year endowment, thirty year endow-
ment and endowment payable at the
age of sixty-two. No man may take
more than he is now entitled to hold,
$4,000. All policies will contain
clauses providing that in case of per-
manent total disability of the insured
man the government will make
monthly payments to him and premi-
UNI payments will cease. This amounts
to old age pensioning and means that
any man who has been in service will
not become destitute.
There has been some misunderstand-
ing concerning the rates which would
be offered OH conversion. The rates
will be lower than those charged by
private companies for the same class
of insurance.
Policy holders will participate in
dividends and earnings of over 8 1-2
per cent from the insurance fund will
90 into dividends. The reserves will
be invested in government securities,
and as most of them will pay 4 1-2 it
seems certain that there will be large
dividends to be returned to policy
holders. Collection of premiums will
be made through post masters.
The war risk bureau today reported
that 4,480,000 policies already have
been issued to soldiers and sailors for
insurance aggregating $39, 100000
or an average of S8.756 on each man.
Up to today 34,969 awards had been
made on deaths of insured soldiers or
sailors for amounts aggregating
$294, 100000.

HOW IT rs DONE

The following article is from the
columns of trade paper called North
ern Furniture:
An advertisement is a salesman. It
has one object to sell goods and sus-
tain good will and friendliness for the
store.
AS you have to pay good money for
the space your ad. occupies and not
for what you say in it, it would be
foolish to waste the space by writing
something that you would not ordinar-
lily tell customer if he entered your
store. Take pains in writing your ad.
Make it simple and direct. Write it as
carefully as you would write your will
leave nothing to be guessed at, but
make it brief, yet complete. A great
railroad magnate died a few years ago,
leaving millions. His will contained
less than a hundred words, and no
lawyer or court could find flaw in
it, yet he made requests to many in
dividuals and charities.
In your ads. tell the people in the
simplest and most direct way what
you are going to do and then do it. Be
careful what you say, but never break

Describe your goods just as they
are. If you nisrepresent you will be
surely found out, and then your ad.
viii do you more harm than no ad. at
all.
Common business sense and the abb
lily to write brief sentences in every
day language will enable you to write
your own ads. And they will proba-
bly, strike home when the elaborate,
wordy ad. of the expert will be glanc-
ed at unnoticed. Advertising is not
literature, but business, and has more
gray natter in it usually than much
of the recent so called literature that
you read. Don't worry if you are
shaky in your grammer. When bad
grammer will sell furniture better than
university English use your own kind
every time. Very often homely, fam
liar expression or phrase will strike
response in the readers mind that
the most elaborate wording would
completely miss.
A good advertisement cannot be
whipped together in few minutes nor
by one who is guessing at what he is
doing. The reason so much advertis

be reminded of what it seeks to re-
mind them not only by it's appearance,
but by the service it will yield to them
as long as it stands.
No cold, stilted structure, tomb
like and useless no matter how beauti-
ful, should be built as memorial to
men who have given the noblest SER
VICE soldiers ever rendered to man
kind.
TIC memorial should be in the Twin
Cities because they are central and
because there are more people there,
of course. And the plan suggested by
the alumni of the state university is
by all odds the best: to put the build
ing on the university campus, and to
make it take the form of a memorial
auditorium, for the use of the uni
versity and the public. The univer-
slty needs such building, and the
state will soon have to build it any,
way. Moreover. placed there it would
be situated SO that rooms In it could
be set apart as headquarters for the
various organizations of veterans of
the great war that will be formed, and
as meeting place for them.
ALL soldiers memorials should be
something that will always be of pub
lie service because they are erected
to commemorate great service. In
no way, we feel sure, could Minnesota
better meet this need than by building
its soldiers memorial on the univer-
sity campus and by making it build
ing that will be of the widest posi-
bic USE to the soldiers, and the public.
The fact that one-sixth of Minnesota's
soldiers in the great war and one-third
of its officers were men of the uni
versity is an an additional reason for
making this decision.

WATER BIRDS SCARCE
Minnesota Game Protective League
Makes an Extensive Survey of
Bird Life Conditions.

According to conclusions drawn by
S. d. Blair, secretary of the Minnesota
branch of the Minnesota Game Pro-
tective league, after making survey
of thu game situation, he says that
the apparent reason for shortage Of
water fowl last year was on account
of weather conditions which dried up
marshes and streams and lowered the
lake levels.
In this particular section of MINI
nesota there was suff4e.!T't r7ra' r in

on the opening day of the shooting
season they were tc found in abun-
dance, but the sportsmen apparently
waged such an unmerciful warfare on
the opening day that they were literA
ally driven out of the country, and
the domestic birds never returned,
Far sightedness is largely matter
of careful planning.

In the days when the land was hon
eycombed with pro-German disloyal-
ty, when ones next door neighbor was
cold toward Washington and warm
toward Postdam, we knew right well
where every American Negro stood.
No colored man in the Country had to
be forced to kneel and kiss the flag.
No Negro was suspected of firing
dock warehouses, nor of putting time
bombs on outgoing ships, nor of dis
tributing disease germs nor of burn
ing wheat stacks, nor of blowing up
railroad bridges. Bernstorff paid out
good German money to raise Negro
instruction and he only raised Ne
gro laugh.
When the time came for fighting,
the Negro was ready for the fray. 1t
was a fight for human liberty and he
sensed it. And whom his regiment
went over the top, the Negro in khaki
looked mighty good to US. He looks
good yet, a good deal better than the
Hun who kamaraded in front of the
Negroes bayonet.
