An ADVERTISEMENTS LIFE.

This Is question often asked
II Is somewhat difficult 70 answer
because he life Of an advertisement
depends upon SO many things. a
little classified advertisement In q
daily paper IS only good for one day.
When n show comes to town. the adj
yertising may be OF value for just MS
long MS the show stays. Clothing
advertisements may be SO worded
that they may build business
throughout the year. a merchant
may advertise that he always has
fresh butter and eggs and 50 impress
the fact upon the public that the al
vertislng viii bring him q customer
who sticks for many years. That
same advertisement might say fresh
butter today CSC per pound and the
value Of the advertisement would be
lost tomorrow.
1t is not so much the medium in
which the advertisement appears 1t
Is the actual wording Of the adver-
tsement that counts for the service
life of the advertisement One ma
turany thinks that an advertisement
in a daily paper loses It's
strength Immediately after the paper
Is discarded, while an advertisement
in a weekly or monthly will
lold attention much longer
As rule we finish with a paper
,r a magazine when we have it in
,ur hands. Sometimes they are laid
lside for future reading, but not very
,ften. All advertising copy should
1e so constructed, If possible, that I'll
'reates the selling impression or, at
east, starts 1t before the reader
lrops the paper What happens af-
er that should be in the nature of a |

HEARD STORY
WRITTEN BY YOUNG BOY.

At the library this morning, Miss
Rachel Haskell told in her dramatic
manner, the story OF the Goat Herd
Boy, and described TO her young
audience school where children
with sick minds are taught to be
useful and happy. She also read a
number OF interesting animal stories
written by one of these pupils, Ralph
Page. They indicate a mind ex-
ceptionally active, observant, sensi-
tive. sympathetic, responsive to good
influences rather than defective
mind. These stories are written
with great rapidity, are coherent
wonderfully imaginative, and In easy
flowing English. II Is rather a ques-
ton whether genius instead of n
defective has not been discovered.
Miss Mary Giles, accompanied by
Miss Pearl Johntz, sang delightfully."-

ANTI.AMERIcANIsM IN JAPAN.

An ti-American campaign OF un-
usual vigor IL said to be raging In
japan. Americans may find II hard
10 understand Just why the japanese
should be so angry at us at this time,
when we are not conscious OF any
special offense against them. The
following explanations are given:
The basis for the agitation is said
to be "a fear OF the growing influ-
ence OF the United States in inter.
national affairs"
There Is the old grievance Of dis
elimination against the Japs in our
Pacific Coast states, and the fear OF
more drastic anti-Japanese legisla-
ton there.
Resentment has been aggravated
by the feeling that the United States
Is largely to blame for the failure Of
the Peace Conference to adopt the
racial equality" principle advocated
by Japan.
There is a belief, too that Amerl-
cans melted the Chinese to make
public the secret Chino-Japanese
treaties which put Japan in the light
Of aggressor and persecutor, and that
Americans are primarily responsible
for the anti-Japanese outbreaks in
Korea.
Altogether The Japanese public
seems to have convinced itself that
it has thoroughly satisfactory rea-
sons for hating America and Ameri-
cans. 1t is a pity, too. because nine
tenths Of all this stun is plain de-
fusion.
japanese statesmen and editors
would do we'll if, instead Of adding
to the flames Of race prejudice, they
would help the Japanese masses to
understand the basic democratic prin
cipes Of right and Justice on which
American international policy Isl
founded >They should realize that
America asks nothing Of Japan or
any other country which America
herself is not willing to grant They
should realize that Americans do not
hate nor fear nor scorn nor dislike
the Japanese, but that they simply
want the japanese in their relations
with America TO treat racial equal
ity" as a reality, and act like Amer
leans, accepting our standards when
they come here, and acknowledging
our right to maintain these standards. |

WHEATFIELD DAYS.

The Agricultural Experiment sta
tions in several states are to hold
"Wheatfield Days" at the farm
where modern methods of wheat
raising are being pursued.
There are a good many OF the
stations, and it is believed that al
most any farmer who so desires can
avail himself Of the opportunity Of
fered by wheatfield day and have the
benefit Of personally conducted
trip around an experimental farm.
Talks will be given, and there will
be ocular and visible proof Of the
success of advanced methods for
raising wheat.
The farmers generally are pretty
wide awake to the advantage Of the
new ideas. and life on the old farm is
A very different thing from the catch
as catch can methods Of earlier days
But after all, no man knows so muQt
that he can not learn little more
The wheatfield days should prove
themselves of considerable value in
every locality, both as affording q
day of special demonstration and as
a means for bringing the neighbor-
ing farmers together.

BAD CROSSINGS.

Dickinson county has number Of
dangerous railway crossings ut some
of which fatalities have occurred.
Something should be done about it
and it is up to the county and. town
ship officers. At least travel should
be made safe as possible for the
people of the county. The Kansas
City Star in commenting on the con
dition says:
Kansas has hundreds of such
crossings, and Missouri has perhaps
even a greater number County and
township officials are aware Of their
existence, but for some reason
neglect and indifference, principally
even the laws we now have for the
remedy Of the condition are not en-
forced. And the laws are not adc-
quate States have played with the
subject of protecting human life Att
grade crossings. The reckless dis
regard manifested by states, coun-
ties and communities in this parti
cular for the preservation of life and
the safety of the public is simply as
founding in the light of the enor-
nous toll the grade crossings are ex-
acting, 1t amounts to nothing short
of official murder.
Almost every community main
tains at least one of these legal death
traps. An expenditure of few
hundred dollars and few days of
labor would make each one Of them
comparatively safe, at least, for pub
lie travel. 1t is too early, possibly,
to advocate the elimination of them
entirely, although that day will come
in the progress of civilization. They
will not be tolerated under any cir
cumstances when once the public
fully comprehends the evil of them.
But for the present, grade crossings
may be made reasonably safe with
out the expense of their elimination.
The trouble in Kansas and Mis-
souri, has been that not even thel
simplest precautions have been talk
en-. Neither the railroads nor the
communities have attempted to re-
move them or to improve them, from
the standpoint of the menace they
are to public life. They remain, year
otter year exacting their toll, and
the state and the community accept
It as only the natural consequence of
highway travel.

documents in relation to this treaty"

not it, at all.

Secretary Lansing The Senate
Chamber in Paris asked Mr.. Gle

Mr.. Clemenceau said that as that

1t was advisable, and he did. He in
