STUNT ADVERTISING

Bright modern towns use many
original ideas to bring their place
before the public.
The people in New Ashford, Mass,
a little hill town with but go popu-
lation, conceived the notion at the
last election of getting their vote
counted at the earliest possible mo-
ment, so as to get conspicuous
notice in the newspapers. So they
all voted very early in the morning
Their ballot appeared in early edit
ions all. over the United State
They got more advertising than they
lad had before in all their HISTORY
A publicity bureau in Spokane,
WASH, conceived the idea of select
irg one OF the prettiest girls il
their city, and sending her around
dressed in a costume typifying the
spirit of the Northwest. She gave e
little talk at conferences and con
ventons about the advantages O
Spokane, which city thereby got :;
lot of publicity. Clever people i,
Grand Marais should be using thei'
wits to work up schemes by which
our community can win attention.

ACHIEVING POPULARITY

Many young people are worried be-
cause they are not more popular"
Young women are apt to be particu-
larly affected that way since they
often feel that the question of Their
marriage depends upon their power
of winning attention.
A friend was telling the other day
about two typical girls of her ac-
quaintance, neither of whom, it may
be said, lives here No. l recently
graduated from a high school, barely
skinning through. Somehow she
manages to fascinate the boys though
some one who heard her talk said
that her conversation did not seem
particularly brilliant as she was
boasting principally as to the low
marks she got in school. She is not
fitted for any kind of business. Her
mother is a toilsome woman who is
working hard to help provide clothes
for the daughter The girl is simply
fellows. A boy feels as if a queen
had noticed him when she speaks to
him.
No. 2 is a quiet, but imaginative
girl, with plain face She has un-
usual gifts of expression and has
written clever stories. But the bows
will have none of her. ''Mother,
you know girl simply has to be a
good looker* said one young man
whose parents demonstrated with
him for not paying attention to so
worthy young person.
No. 2 spends her summers at fine
resort where many gifted people

GETTING RESULTS IN COUNTRY

People get out Of a country town
what they put into it. Those that
find fault because rural life is dull
have probably never taken hold
themselves and tried to do some
thing worth while.
Meanwhile those who are full of
enterprise and who are willing to
get up entertainments and organize
social life find that they gain much
they had not expected. They meet
bright people in their home town
and from outside, and form friend
ships that are an inspiration. They
learn that there are some very clever
folks within their own square mile,
if they get acquainted with them
and find out what they can do.
