Group Advertising
OF Commodities
BY HARDEN COLFAX.

Cooperative advertising by groups
interested in increasing the consump.
ton OF specific commodities promises
to reach new high total within the
next few months. The purchaser is
to be confronted with fresh arguments
to divert his dollar from one expendi.
ture to another.
The cooperative advertising idea is
old, but its development is along dis.
tinctly new and different lines. 1t
has been discussed by more trade as.
sociations In the last six months than
ever before, and more have adopted it
In that period than were brought to
its use in all the years which have
gone before.
operative group advertising is an end
less chain affair, as now projected, the
number adopting the plan is very like
ly to multiply rapidly as the cam.
paigns get under way, SO that by this
time next year, II indications point ac-
curately, the total probably will have
been doubled.
Commodity group advertising within
the next IL months probably will run
beyond $25,000.000. This is entirely
apart from the advertising in support
of specific brands of the commodities
thus advertised as group, which, of
course. will total many times that
amount.
Intraindustrial competition, as well
as that between separate industries, is
growing more keen, 1t Is apparent
from a view of the groups which are
planning cooperative advertising. For
instance, the cotton textile institution,
representing the manufacturers Of
wear, made from vegetable matter, Is
planning to increase the market for
cotton goods in general, while the
woolen and worsted manufacturers
have launched campaign for funds
to finance advertising in an effort to
widen the outlets for products of
sleeps fleece.
1t is perfectly obvious that there
must be conflict between wool and cot
ton at some points Of use where they
may be substituted one for the other.
Yet this example does not mean con-
f1ict at all times between the two CON-
modities, for 1t is found that there
exists u strong affinity between these
groups in the effort to have the Amer
lean people increase their consumption
Of clothing. The "dress.up" campaign
is nothing new, and it's appeal is in
teresting to tho silk and rayon indus
tries as well as manufacturers and
cutters Of cotton and wood fabrics.
There is the same intraindustrial
conflict. yet similar bond OF
sympathy in one phase Of the situ-
alton, between the lumber manu-
facturers and the producers of other
building materials. The lumber
manufacturers have awakened to the
fact that in recent years something
like $50, 100000 annually has been ex-
pended in advertising the virtues of
construction supplies, which. when
used, displace. wood products, and
they have undkstaken a well financed
campaign to pat lumber more strong
ly into the picture and will spend

This and That
By Charles E. Trdceioen.

Children put the unanimous seal of
their approval upon the house cat.
| We have yet to see the child who
does not like cats. al
This, it would seem. is great
tribute to one Of the most interesting
Of animals. I'D
Whereas many of their elders pro-
| fess n dislike for Tom or Tabby. the
children invariably run toward them,
eager to hold them In their arms.
1t IS innocence appealing to inno-
cence.
Since our acquaintance with the cat
Jack Spratt, we have put a great deal
Of time on the study of these animals.
There has always been a quality
about them that eluded our grasp.
What was It?
It was not until we happened to re-
call the fact that small boys and girls.
without exception in our experience.
prefer cats to dogs that we got a clue
to the charm Of the animal.
The cats innocence is "the cats
whiskers!''
Innocence, in the sense we mean, is
certain appearance, a certain un-
awareness Of evil, a real combination
of good qualities with a minimum Of
bad ones.
A furry kitten. its two ears pricked
up. its fluffy tail curved. Is creature
without guile. It has no more con-
ception Of what we call evil than a
child has.
This is why we call a cat innocent
Every one knows Of children fright
ened by dogs. often an unreasoning
fright, caused by the mere sight Of the
animal.
But. honestly. have you ever seen
child afraid of kitten?
We never have, and never expect to,
not even in cases in which the parent
has vainly tried to frighten the child
by telling it that the cat carries germs.
We know of one child who has
positive mania for cats. whom no
amount of home propaganda against
them has been able to swerve q jot
from his love for them.
Usually the most obedient boy, he
unhesitatingly opens the forbidden
back gate and starts down the alley
In pursuit of any cat that comes along.
Perhaps the supple grace, the gen.
eral artistic ensemble Of the creature,
appeals to this artistic boy.
He is allowed to have q dog, which
he does not want, but forbidden to
possess or even stroke cat, which he
loves
Surely parents are queer!
r \ \ +
Nor have we ever known a child to
profess the instructive dread" which
many grown-up persons declare they
feel at the approach of a cat.
The lad just instanced, no doubt, by
the time he Is IL or II years old, will
have absorbed so much Of his parents
cat hatred that he will genuinely be.
lieve he, too, does not like them.
He may even become q victim or
"felinophobia." the unreasoning fear
OF cats, and genuinely shudder il one
is in the room. But the thing is
mental.
No child dislikes the cat, ana no
grown-up ought to-. At least, this is
the way we feel about It.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHrLANDER JOHNSON.
Good Intentions.

Good Intentions.
Good intentions may go wrong.
Let us still be going strong.
Some won't work out as they should
When they are misunderstood.
Yet. who would stand idly by
Drift and dream. and never try
Holding from the passing hour
What may lie within his pow'r.
GOOD Intention" signifies
Effort toward a purpose wise;
Better, though results be small,
Than no good intent at all.

Admirers Of Charles Evans Hughes
are frankly disposed to regard his
years of wisdom as an asset. A genial
interest in the sports and even the
frivolities of people is to be desired
in a candidate. This fact implies no

and become perpetual athlete.
