HOW TO WRITE ADS.

Some busy merchants used to in
sert an ad about like this: JONES &
SM1TH-Best Goods for the Lowest
Prices.
An ad like this will do something
to keep a store before the public,
but it does not sound newsy. Now
If Jones & Smiths ad writer would
look around the store, he would per-
haps find something like this to fea-
ture:
BARGAIN LOT OF BOYS OVER
COATS-Just secured SO Boys Over
coats from an overstocked wholesale
house. 100000 o~vercoats for $3.50,
and other in proportion
An ad something like this is a re-
port of something new that has hap
pened in that store 1t interests the
public keenly in these times, partic-
ularIy if a little description is given
of the goods, to convince the public
that it is a real bargain.
Every enterprising store can al
Ways find some special lot of goods
or new feature that is worth talking
about, and which will give their no.
tees a newsy character.

Hope took the Erie aggregation, COM
posed of first and second team men
camp by the above decisive score.
Erie was dazed and played a slow

splendid passing and Topped in a bas-
ket almost at will. Carpenter paved
a good game at center and looped in
S baskets. Bissell, who has been
showing up we'll as a substitute in
first team practices, got away from
his guard nicely and piled in IL tai
les. Brewster, playing running guard,
put in two nice ones, and Bjorklund
Topped in n from the other guard
position. Jones played a good de-
fensive game, and Topped in F.? ?????
Wood was placed in as alternate in
the last five minutes in place of Brew
ster, and hardly on the floor he
heaved in a long one almost the en-
tire length of the floor. Nelson was
the star for Erie. He made two

economic basis. 1t is worth men,
tioning and Farmer Smith should
have his picture in the paper.
But when you read how the Four
Hundred are parading around in
their party clothes, you read about
something that is of no benefit to the
community, and much of which rep
resents lei extravagent spending.
1t is of no more significance that
Mrs. Gotrox has a new party dress,
than that Mrs. Corntassel has a new
checkered apron. Both are equally
worthy of being mentioned in the
newspaper. Also Mrs. Corntassel is
doing good work with the apron,
while Mrs. Gotrox may be wasting
her husbands money.
Wherefore if you want to- get real
rustic provincialism, buy a big met
ropolitan Sunday newspaper, and
read its Society gush.

SOCIETY GUsH

The big metropolitan papers make
fun of the country paper, with it's
personals about Farmer Smith who
has just painted his barn, and the
small city dailies, with their many
letters from neighboring villages.
Then they print columns Of silly de-
tail regarding the social higher-ups.
Every Sunday the society editors
dwell lovingly upon the costume of
Miss Jones, with her white satin and
%irridescent sequins, Miss Smith, with
her apricot chiffon taffeta with silver
lace and morning glories, Mrs. Rob-
inson, with her gown of lavender net,
and girdle of pale pink and blue ri..-
bon, ETC., etc.
The absurd thing about metropoli-
tan journalism is that it picks out
some narrow circle of the alleged
Four Hundred, calls it Society" re-
cords it's doings with obsequious de-

working people are ignored unless
they get into the police court.

something has been done to improve
the community and put it on a better
