Matinee Music Club.

The Matinee Music Club held the
last meeting of the season Saturday
afternoon, with Miss Lola Harper at
the home of her aunt, Mrs. Cordie
Garth, on Ury street. The club cal
endar of the year has been filled with
red-letter days, but none more en-
couraging than the final meeting, for
at this time the members of the club
were able to make brief recapitula-
tion of the years activity with a sat-
isfying degree of pride over results
attained. They thought of the i'm
pressive research work that has been
made; of the attention given to
Americas music and to her mu-
sicians, including the Colonists, the
Innovators, and the Academies; of
the branching out into musical cir
cles of other nations-Russia, Swe-
den, Germany, France; the study of
the orchestra, of the oratorio, the
opera, and other musical forms; also
of the delightful piano, voice and vi
olin execution in program discourse,
andwith such review, each member
felt the joy of glorious achievement
the legitimate after-effect of work
we'll done.
The lesson study of the afternoon,
led by Miss Vivian Woodrow, was
subject very dear to the hearts of all
present: Edward Mcdowell, the
Man and His Work" Born an Amer
lean, his directness of expression, his
outlook upon life, all American, of
him may it be said that he came
nearer being the founder of nation
al school than has any native COM
poser coming after. A man of COM
polling personality, a weaver of
dreams, and by way of further de-
scription, a poet, composer, and mys-
tic in one.
To the lover of nature Mcdowell
makes a sympathetic appeal. He
paints in wonderful tone the rare
beauty Of the Water Lily" and
"wild Rose" while in his musical
realization of Tennyson's "The Ea-
gle," the general exaltation and ma
jestic splendor of the king bird of the
forest is felt. May the spirit of Mac
Dewell brood over the sons and
daughters of America and be an in
visible agent in drawing them closer
to the shrine of musical art.

Practical Helps in
Your Ad Writing

Probably the most important part
of an advertisement is the headline
or caption as it is sometimes called.
Many people, in looking over the
news stories in q paper merely
glance at the headings. Now, if these
people will only glance at headings
of actual news stories, think how in
teresting-how compelling--you will
have to make the heading of your
advertisement in order to have the
entire advertisement read.
The prime object of headline is
to attract favorable attention and
to create interest. This is neces-
sary for the advertisement to be no.
ticed by the right class Of readers.
In order to obtain these results
the headline should be one Of the
following: (I The name of the ar
ticle advertised; (2) An important
selling point of the article advertis-
ed; (3) Words that suggest the de-
STABILITY Of the article; (4) A com
bination of any Of the above. A
heading may also be "bind" head.
That is, one that has no real con
nection with the rest Of the adveD
tisement, being usually some apt
statement or group of words to ar
rest the attention of the reader.
While some of the most effective
advertisements have "blind" heads.
there is nevertheless an element of
risk in using them for a "blind"'
head often fails to attract the exact
class of readers the advertisement is
addressed to.
As a general rule, if the article
advertised is well known or one for
which there is already a demand,
as shoes. clothing. groceries, etc, it
is best to use the name Of the article

Buttermilk Better
Than Mash for Hens

Buttermilk is more valuable for
production than meat scrap, and
if available in plentiful quantities,
can completely replace the usual
mash fed to hens, according to re-
suits of an experiment conducted by
the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
nent Station, which have just been
announced. The experiment also
Nkn6wed that buttermilk was appetjz-
ing and palatable for the hens and
had desirable effect on their d.
gestive tracts. Sour skim milk is
equally as valuable in the ratios Of
the laying hen as the buttermilk. ac-
eording to J. H. Martin, under whose
direction the test was made.
= These pens of 20 White Wyan-
dottc hens each of the same age and
housed under identical conditions,
we're used in the experiment. All
pens were fed the same grain ration,
consisting Of 70 pounds Of cracked
corn and 80 pounds of oats. One
pen was fed dry mash, consisting
of 20 pounds each Of corn meal,
ground oats, hran, shorts and meat
scraps in addition to the grain ra-
ton; the second pen was fed the
same mash, with the exception. of
the meat scrap, in addition to the
grain. and had buttermilk available
at all times while the third pen re-
ceiyed nothing but buttermilk in ad-
dition to the grain
Results obtained up to August /
showed that the first pen, which re-
ceived the grain feed and complete
mash, produced 1862 eggs from No
vember 1. The second pen, which
received the meat minus the meat
scrap in addition to the grain and
buttermilk, produced 1000 eggs from
November /, while the third pen,
which received the grain and butter
milk, produced 1890 eggs from No
vember /, or 728 more than the first
pen and $50 more than the second
pen. Buttermilk fed to the hens in
the second and third pens was avail
Rble at all times.
= The experiment will be continued
for several years, accordiog tn Mr..
Martin, in order to determine
whether or not forcing the hens for
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-08-16

ia the heaedline, for example "Pure
Leaf Lard" mems Mohair Suits. .
etc. But if demand must first be
created, then it is better to give some
benefit derived rather than Just the
name. For instance, "Nho will pro-
vide for your widow9" is a better
head for an insurance ad than 'Tn-
sure your life now"
A combination of the name of the
article and the most important sell
ing point is most always stronger
than the name alone. For instance,
"Unbreakable Vacuum Bottlesv is a
much stronger head than just ava
cuum Bottles"
The form heading should take
whether il should be a statement, a
question, or a direct command-de-
pends on the nature Of the adver-
tisement. Words that will most like
ly command the favorable attention
of the reader should always be used
The best way to acquire the knack
of writing good heads is to study the
headlines on news stores and ad-
vertisements appearing in metropol
itan papers. Read the article (oi

looking at the original write your
own head. Constant practice, like
this, will be invaluable to you.
