Advertising.

Some of the best literature these
DAYS seems to be in advertising.
That is, if literature is for the pur-
pose of conveying thoughts, ideas and
to promote action-word carpentering
to these ends.
It is true that there is no mystic
poetry in advertising, nor romance save
as it is sometimes used to picture the
profit possibilities of far off mining
and oil regions, to appeal to the imag
nations Of those of us to whom dis
tant pastures always seem the green
est.
The average advertisement stimu-
lates more thought and action upon the
thought and by its appeal to our sense
of pleasure or profit than any other
literary form.
And it does it in less space and in a
fewer number of words.
The reason for this economy and eff
ficiency is this:
An advertiser pays q large sum for
the white space and he is naturally
economical with it.
More thought is put upon the space.
He conveys the idea and promotes
the action with the fewest number of
carefully selected expressions.
Every word, phrase, sentence and
paragraph is weighted to this end.
Other forms of writing are paid for
by the number Of words or space &C.
cupied, and there is not the natural
incentive to economy Of expression as
in advertising.
Advertisers paying large sum sfor
white space as they do, have found it
economical to employ men skilled in the
art of expression-word carpentering;
for more results are obtained for the
expenditure in white space.
Tn this way some of the best Of
writer's Of the younger generation have
been drawn into the advertising field
men with regulations in other and
wider literary fields.
To 90 over the files of any 'newspa-
per or magazine is to find vast i'm
provement in the advertising within
a very few years.
There is more logic and reason in adj
vertising-more real craftsmanship.
There is the same eye appeal that the
skilled personal salesman might make
through the ear of a possible buyer.
Highly trained artists-true artists
have been drawn into the advertising
field, men as skilled in the handling Of
form and color as those in the compost
tion of the text.
Advertising today is not only inter
esting and attractive, but it is truly
craftsmanship on paper.

ton has found that 20 per cent of the
business leaders in cities come from
small town.
The purpose of the organization is to
make every city block into a separate
community, its members working to-
gether for the common good.
Fhe movement turns city folk into
neighbors.
City families seldom mingle as they
do in villages. City government and
public affairs generally are remote and
battling to the average household. Ward
and precinct politics give only a few
and those not always the most desirable
An opportunity to display leadership.
Any plan which will enable the city
dwellers-the busy wage-earner and his
busy Wife-to feel that they are part
of the municipal organism and that
their public services are valuable GER
tainly will improve citizenship.

Two Mill TAX
SOLDIER BONUS

The county of Kenosha must levy q
tWo-mill tax on all of its taxable prop
erty to pay the soldier bonus. This
was announced by the state tax COM
mission at Madison on Thursday even
ing and the formal statement will be
received by County Clerk Holderness
within the next few days.
This will mean that Kenosha county
will pay more than $4,000 toward the
raising of this bonus as income sur
taxes to the amount of more than
$4,000 which has already been as
sessed against the people of Kenosha
county-largely against the corpora
tions of the city of Kenosha. The two
mill tax will mean in excess of 100000
to be raised in this county by general
taxation and turned over to the state.
City Percentage Big.
The percentage of the tax to be paid
by the people of the city of Kenosha
will be large. AS the total valuation
of the city will be well over the
$40,000,000 mark and the state valua-
ton of the property of the city even
above this figure, the mill tax will 60
soaring and the demand for this added
two mills comes as real blow to the
members Of the finance committee of
the council who were seeking to keep
the mill tax down.
On the valuation made by the state
of the property of Kenosha, the city
will be called upon to pay to the state
treasury for the bonus considerably
over $4,000 and the total may be near
the 100000 mark. This must be add
ed to all the other city taxes and it is
pretty certain that a 30-mill tax will
be demanded to meet all the taxes.
1t is planned to have an opinion of
the supreme court on the soldier bonus
handed down on November 18th and
this will be before the county board
must take action on the levy.

KENOSHA CROPS
SHORT THIS YEAR
Government Report Shows Corn Crop a
Little Better Than Last Year But
Other Crops Smaller.

Kenosha county did not have a
bumper crop of corn and potatoes
this year. In fact, the government re-
port issued today indicates that there
was some falling off in most crops in
this section of the safe as compared
with last year. The yield Of corn for
Kenosha county is estimated at Al
bushels to the acre, as compared with a
yield Of Al bushels last year Corn
silage is declared to have averaged
81 tons to the acre, as compared with
9 tons last year. There is a terrific
slump reported in the potato crop of
Kenosha county this year, the report
showing an average yield of but 40
bushels to the acre, as compared with
yield of SO bushels in the year 1918.
Similar crop conditions are shown all
over this section of the state.

Judge Taylor Starts Co-Or-

Bench In Municipal Court
This Morning.
SLICK cHICAGOANs FOOLED
Men Who Had Come Here To Play for
High Pay Rolls Smile In Court But
Judge Wipes Off Smiles With Sent
ence of Five Long Days In Jail.

Coordination of all elements of an
official nature to bring a clean up
of the city and put an end to gambling,
was co-ordinating at top speed with the
carburetor wide open up at the MUM
cipal Court this morning when two
Chicago men, who it was declared had
considered Kenosha easy money! got
the surprise of their life and they are
now over with Sheriff Meyer spending
a five day furlough. They are going to
spend the whole five days and the
money which might be available to
pay fine will be not be Of any value.
The two men came into the Municipal
Court charged with gambling,
Judge Taylor Responds Quickly.
Judge Taylor had been called into the
court to preside during the absence of
Judge James E. Tully and he heard the
story of the police before he called the
men to the bench. "This warrant
charges you with gambling" said the
Judge in a rather happy conversational
tone. Inc TWO men WHO HdQ given
their names as Stanley Gersky and
Jacob Howitz and both Of whom adj
mitted that they resided in the city
of Chicago, shifted uneasily from the
right to the left foot and considered
the matter. Somehow they didn't like
the happy little twinkle in the eye of
the court. They just naturally thought
that may be something might be coming
and they were wary but not too wary.
Wipes Smiles Off Their Faces.
The two men smiled, we should say
grinned' rather uneasily and they
did not appear to be anywhere near as
much as ease as the court, but after
they got all through thinking it over
they entered a plea of guilty.
Then the court wiped the smiles from
their faces. HYou having pleaded
guilty to the charge it is the sentence
of the court that you are guilty. be-
gan Judge Taylor. And he ended, cit
is the judgment and sentence of the
court that you be punished by being
confined in the county jail of Kenosha
county for period of five days"

COUNTY PIONEER
DIES IN MONTANA

Word was received in Kenosha this
morning that Addison J. Benedict
aged seventy-eight years, a pioneer
resident of the town OF Bristol. had
died Monday evening at the home OF
his cousin at Isnay, Montana, where
he had been visiting for the past eight
weeks. The telegram came as a great
shock to his sons in Kenoshs county as
they had received no word from their
father telling of his illness. The tele.
gram stated that the Kenosha county
man had contracted bad cold and
had died suddenly.
Addison ]. Benedict was born in
New York State, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Benedict, with whom he
came to Kenosha county at an early
age. He was educated in the schools
of the county and had lived here prac'
tically all of his life. He was a pros.
porous farmer in the Bristol community.
He was one of the oldest members of
the Bristol lodge of Masons which

services at the Liberty Corners Metho.

Mr.. Benedict is survived by three
sons, Andrew, of Waukegan, and Ralph
and Lee of Woodwork. The remains
have not yet reached Kenosha and
announcements regarding the funeral
will be made next week.

A Doughboy's Ambitions and How
They Worked Out.

Iney WoTK6u Out.
Ambition has been walked into life
in the breast of thousands of the re-
turning soldiers. Ambition to better
themselves in life; to do something
better than they ever did it before;
to do something which requires more
skill and intelligence and which in re-
turn will pay better than the things
that soldier did before he went away.
No experienced employer of men dis
likes such q quality as this. He knows
the value of it in his business and
the ambitious man is the sort he likes
to put on his payroll.
For example, one boy in Washington
used to be a messenger in one of the
big department. buildings there before
the army called him into service. He
had "soft job. He went to work
at 9 O'Clock and was through at 4:30,
with no work on Sundays and long
vacation each summer. About all he
had to do was answer a buzzer, run
few errands and sit in cool CORR
dor for the rest of the time, while
Washington sizzled under a summer
sun. he made about 5000 a year and
1t came twice month without any
trouble.
When he got back from France he
had two service stripes on his arm,
and a sergeant IS chevrons. His job
was waiting for him again if he
wanted it.
"But," he said, 81 don't want it.
] want to do something beside being
just messenger boy all my life. Any
boy can do that work; or woman
feel like a different man! I don 4
want to sit down nan empty corridor
for the rest of my days and jump
every time somebody wants me tC
carry a letter or fetch a box OF
matches. -
Needless to say his ambitions were
realized. And thousands of other.
just like him are being placed in jobs
This unemployment work of the Wa
Department, under the supervision Of
Maj. Gen, William G.. HAN, Assistan

a privilege rather than a duty. The

the most important thing that any
