Advertising
"CALKS
HOW ADS FOR LARGE
STORES ARE HANDLED
Constitutes an Important Ele
ment of Actual "News" and
Preparation Requires Care.
■■ ->*
That the advertisements In a news
paper constitute an Important element
of actual "news" and that the prepara
tion of them requires a highly special
ised sort of knowledge and training,
are considerations which often fall
to enter the consideration of the read
ers of the dally newspaper.
However, this .Is the case. Of the
thousands of people who read the
newspapers, a very large proportion
are Interested In the advertisements.
The Immense number of women who
purchase the family - clothing and
household supplies, In particular, de
pend upon the advertisements, read
ing them with care and watching them
as closely as the Investor In stocks
and bonds watches the financial news.
- ' Indeed, the advertising columns are
financial departments. In a very real
sense of the word, to the domestic
economist
Of the work, the thought and the
careful preparation that goes Into the
preparation of a clever advertisement,
that It may attract the eye of the
reader and hold his attention, few of
its perusers take any oognlsance. Still
fewer realise what a truly all-round
person the advertising manager must
be.
Must Knew Human Nature.
For to fill the bHI, he must know
human nature, clothes and drygoods,
from A to Z. He must keep abreast
of the times and the fashions. He
must be an expert judge of values,
and he must be possessed of a pecu
liar extra "sense," that he may know
and seise the psychological moment
where in to spring a particular sale.
' Oiven the man and the fitness there
of, it is interesting to know how the
big department store advertisements
in Milwaukee, for Instance, are plan
ned by the advertising managers, who
rank, by the way, foremost among
men in that special line in this coun
try. The methods which prevail here
are typical, with immaterial differ
ence, of the same work throughout
the country.
Especial sales are o two kinds —
the big periodical sales, which are
planned for months in advance, and
which come about as unfailingly and
regularly as the seasons, and the
quick special sales, of merchandise
suddenly acquired.
The last sales are heralded by the
buyer for that department, who tells
the office of certain merchandise
which he has unexpectedly bought.
The buyer -and the advertising man
hold consulation, and when the goods
arrive they visit the warehouse and
look them over.
If, In the sober Judgment of the ad
vertising manager, they prove equal to
the buyer's enthusiastic description of
them, the advertising man decides to
give them a place in his advertise
ment on a certain day. The propor
tionate size of this space Is based
upon the percentage of that depart
ment's sales.
Then the bnyer, an assistant buyer,
and a person at the head of the stock
oonfer with the advertising manager
and decide on the beet way of putting
the sale to the publlo. .The advertis
ing manager has the responsibility of
seeing that proper provision la made
for the display of the goods, the ar
rangement of the display tables, etc.
Then he writes his advertisement
The buyer meantime, has jotted down
for him the Interesting points in con
nection with the goods, and from
these the advertisement la worked
out
Much Thought Required.
When It Is remembered that a big
store may well hare special sales In a
dozen different departments at one
time and that each one la conducted
as carefully as this, the amount ot
labor and thought required may be
imagined.
The advertising manager Is always
two or three days ahead In his work.
The copy must be sent to the news
papers on one day. Is set up, a proof
returned the next day, the proof Is
corrected and returned to the paper
In time for publication that night
After the advertisement appears in
the paper copies are sent to the
various men in the store who are In
terested. It Is cut Into sections and
each department manager receives his
own advertisement One store makes
a practice of requiring each manager
and each salee person in a department
to read the advertisement and sign it
Whatever the method, each salesper
son is reqalred to be familiar with
the advertisement, that they may
know exactly what is on sale. Incase
ot Mg sates, a conference of manag
ers and salespeople Is held, and a talk
■lvan on the goods In order to era
ate Interest and enthusiasm.
The periodical aalee are planned at
least three months la advance, after
conferences with the buyers and the

TOM SOLVED PROBLEM
AND IN A WAY THAT MIGHT BE
KXPECTKD OF A MAN.
However, It Caused Mrs. Carrick to
See Things In a New Light, and
There Was an End of
Worrying.
4 ——
Everything in the Carrlcks' apart
ment was beautifully clean, for young
Mrs. Carrick was a careful housekeep
er and she found her greatest pride
1 and pleasure in her sparkling glass,
' spotless curtains and speckless floors.
Tom Carrick submitted to his wife's
rules of order with smiling good na
ture and when a pair of slippers on
the top of his chiffonier or the scat
! tered pages of a newspaper on the
parlor floor proved him a transgressor
he received her general rebukes with
a comical display of penitence that
quite disarmed her, according to the
Youth's Companion.
It was with genuine joy that Mrs.
Carrick prepared a room for her fa
{ ther when the breaking up of his old
home made it necessary for him to
come to live with her. She lay awake
at night planning little comforts for
him, but the labor she put Into the ar
rangement of these conveniences was
as nothing 'compared with her efforts
to make him use and enjoy them,
i "Father, why dont you hang your
coat on one of your hangers?" she
asked one day, when she found his
Sunday coat suspended by the collar
from a hook. "I had these hangers
put in your closet so that you could
keep your cloths* nice."
I "That was real thoughtful of you,
1 but you know, Maggie, I never was
much of a hand for fussing about my
clothes."
| "Don't you like that shaving stand,
father? I notice you never use It." I
| "Yes, It's a real clever contrivance,
but I've always been used to hooking
my Uttle hand glass on the window
sill and hacking away." He laughed
as he displayed a small cut In his
cheek and then sighed. "Tour mother
1 said long ago that I ought to go to a 1
barber to be shaved, but I'm no hand
| for innovations, Maggie."
Matters became worse rather than'
better, and it required all Mrs. Car
lick's loving patience not to be cross'
when she found neckties and collars
scattered about the dressing case, In
stead of being laid away In the holders
she had made tor them or the shoo
blacking brush on the top of the wash-.
stand. Instead of in Its proper place be
neath. There came a time when she|
felt she could no longer suffer her fa
ther's untidiness in silence and she
went to her husband almost tearfully.
"I don't know what to say to fa
ther," she said. "He keeps everything
In his room In a dreadful muss, but I
can stand that, for I go In often and
put things to light, but I don't know
what to do about the rug."
"The rug?" repeated Carrick.
"Yes, you know, Tom, he has an
ointment for the rheumatism In his.
ankles and he rubs It on so carelessly
that that nice big rug In his room is
getting simply covered with grease
spots. I just don't know what to do
about It"
"Well, Margaret, I'll tell you what
we'll do." Carrick assumed the air of
a conspirator and lowered his voice to
a whisper. "We won't ever breathe
a word about it to him and we'll stand
the rug as long as we can and when
we can't endure the grease spots any
longer, we'll buy him a new rug."
Margaret's voice was a little un
steady. "Tom," she said, "you make
me ashamed." * f
Unlimited Absorption.
The capacity of the United States
for the absorption of objects of virtu
would seem to be unlimited. The val
ue of American Imports of this char
acter increases yearly by leaps and
bounds. The latest figures for 1912
show an Increase of 60 per cent, upon
those for 1911. In 1910 objects of art
of the value of (22,000,000 were Im
ported. The figures for 1911 are $36,-
000,000. The distribution of the
amount among the various European
countries Is instructive. First comes
France, from which America takes
$17,000,000 worth; next England, with
$16,000,000. There Is a drop of over
$13,000,000 to the $1,254,088 of Ger
many. The efficacy of the stringent
Italian regulations is shown by the
fact that only $740,691 worth comes
from Italy—or not quite so much as
comes from Canada. The Imports of
modern works of art Into the United
States in 1912 only reached the com
paratively Insignificant total of sl,-
042,036, 36 per cent leas than the cor
responding figures lor the previous
year.

Filling a Silo on a Dairy Farm.
During the past twelve months cat
tle buyers have been active lir Louis
iana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and Florida, purchasing cattle to be
shipped to the middle western mar
kets as either canners or stockeri.
The prices paid (or canners during
this period have been so high that
thousands of cows and heifers have
gone to the shambles which should
have been retained on the farms for
breeding purposes. This Is especially
noticeable when the receipts of south
ern cattle at the St. Louis market
for the last 12 months are compared
with those for any previous period of
similar length. The receipts of Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana cat
tle at that market have almost dou
bled during this period.
Since the first of February buyers
from the farms and ranches of the
west have been scouring the gulf
states In search of breeding stock. A
few years ago this class of cattle
would have been scorned by the west
ern ranchman as breeding stock, but
with the shortage of cows for breed
ing purposes the ranchers are glad to
get these cheap cows, to which they
will breed good beef bulls. The half
breeds resulting from this mating
make fairly desirable beef animals.
Several thousand cattle have already
been sent from these states to Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas, arid some of
them are said to have been shipped
as far as Montana.
Recently there were perhaps more
cattle unloaded at one time In Bir
mingham, Ala., for feed, water and
rest while en route to the western
ranges than have ever been seen In
that place before In one day. Georgia
and Florida are sending out thousands
of these native southern cattle at the
present time at prices ranging from
sl6, to $23 a head for mature animals.
A shipment of 40 carloads of cattle
was recently made from Osceola
county, Florida, in one day. They
were shipped to Kansas via Oklahoma
City. The cattle were dipped in ar
senical solution beforo loading, to free
them of ticks, and were to be dlppod
again on arrival at Oklahoma City be
fore going above the federal quaran
tine line.
..Some people ot the south seem glad
that these battle are being shipped
out, as the number of scrub cattle Is
being reduced and the south will get
better cattle as n result. They do
not look far enough ahead, however,
or they would see that If the short
age of cattle Is such as to cause buy
ers to come from the far west to buy
these scrub cattle for breeding pur
poses, the chances of southern farm
ers refilling their pastures with good
cattle are Indeed small, for where aro I
these good breeding cattle to come I
from at a reasonable price? The best
and most profitable way of getting i
good cattle throughout the south Is j
to breed up the native cattle by the

The south Is especially adapted to
raising cattle, because of the long
grazing season, the enormous areas
of cheap land, much of which is now
lying Idle, the great variety of pas
ture grasses and legumes which grow
luxuriantly on all soils, and because
of the mild winters.
If the western ranchman can afford
to pay southern farmers good prices
for cows, pay the high freight rates
to the west, stand the losses which
naturally occur during shipping thin
cattle such long distances, also bear
the losses due to a change ot climatic
conditions, and then make money on
them, why can not the southern farm
er who already owns the soils, keep
this stock on the farm and secure the
Increased profits T He can If he will
free his cattle of ticks, Increase the
efficiency of his pastures by planting
mixtures of lespedexa, bur clover,
white clover or perhaps melllotus,
alslke clover, and red top over his pas
ture lands; and by raising more hays
and forage crops for wintering his
stock and finishing them for market
The surplus cattle can then be fat
tened by feeding cottonseed cake on
grass, or grating fields of velvet
beans while feeding some concen
trate; or they can be finished In the
dry lot during the winter months. For
winter feeding no roughage baa prov
en more valuable than silage, as the
addition of It to a feeding ration Inva
riably increases the site ot the dally
gains and reduces their cost, thereby
making greater profits. The quality
and the quantity of silage which can
be produced on some of these cheap
lands cannot be surpassed by the high
priced lands of the corn belt, whereas
the cost of producing It Is far less be
cause of the chenp labor.
The farmers of the south aro there
fore urged to dlHContlnue this whole
sale shipping of thelrt female cattle
to other states, to free the pastures of
the cattlo tick, and to increase the
numbered quality of their cattle by
the use 9t pure-bred beef bulls. Tlie
progeny will not only grow faster and

be far more profitable to raise and to

jROOST CLOSET FOR POULTRY
Coneldereble Stress Laid on Curtain
In Front of House at Maine
Experiment Btatlon.
In the curtain-front type of poultry
| house used at the Maine experiment
station a feature of the original plan
jon which considerable stress was
| laid was the canvas curtain In front
! of the roosts.
| This curtain, together with thQ
j back wall of the house and the drop
j pings board under the roosts, formed
, a closet In which the birds were shut
iup at night during cold weather.
I When the curtain-front house was
j first devised It was thought essential
to provide such a closet to conserve
the body heat of the birds during the
cold nights when the temperature
might go well , below zero. Expe
rience has shown, however, that this
was a mistake. Actual test shows
that the roosting closet is of no ad
vantage, even In such a severe cli
mate as that of Orono. On the con
trary, the birds certainly thrlvo bet
• ter without the rooit curtain than
with it. It has been a general ob
servation among uiers of the curtain
front type of house that when the
roost curtains are used the birds aro
particularly susceptible to colds. It
is not hard to understand why this
should be 10. The air In a roosting
closet when It Is opened in the
morning li plainly bad. The fact
that It !■ warm in no way ' offsets
physiologically the evlli of IU lack
of oxygen and exceii of carbon dl
oxld, ammoniacal vapors, and other
exhalations from the bodies of the
birds.
For some time past It has been felt
that the roosting closet was at least
unnecessary, if not'in fact a positive
eyil. Consequently the time of be
ginning to close the rooit curtain- In
the fall hai been each year longer
delayed. Finally, In the fall of 1910,
it was decided not to uie theie cur
tains at all during the winter. Con
sequently they were taken out of the
house, or spiked to the roof, as the
case might be. The winter of 1910-11
wai a severe one. On leveral occa
sions the temperature dropped to 30
degrees below zero. Yet during this
winter the mortality was exceptional
ly low and the egg production excep
tionally high.
In view of this experience the sta
tion has decided to discontinue the
use of the rooit. curtain. It would
seem to be generally undesirable or
at least unnecessary.

| THOUGHT NIGHT HAD PASSED
. Tired Farm Hand Lost All (Track of
Time In His Brief but Evident
ly Deep Blumber.
I Rven when you are wide awake It
Is frequently hard to estimate the pas
sage of time. On one occasion you
find It hard to believe that several
| hours have elapsed, and on another
the day may drag so slowly that tho
clock seems to have shirked Its duty.
1 While you are asleep the calculation
of time Is, of course, almost Impossi
ble, as this Incident, told by a farmer's
%on at the corner storeT one rainy
morning, aptly Illustrates:
Father hired a now band nlgbt
'—a big, good-natured Dutchman. Evl-
I dently the poor fellow was tired from
I tramping about the country, for ho
went to bed Immediately after supper.
As usual, father went down to the
cellar about 8:30 to throw some coal
In the furnace and adjust the drafts
for the night.' Evidently this made
enough noise to rouse the new hired
man, for mother, who wnß sitting be
side the table In the dining room, saw
the stair door suddenly open and dis
close the broad form of the Dutchman.
Blinking drowsily before the light, he
exclaimed:
• "Good morning, Mlssla! Good morn
ing! I could cbust as well haf come
down von hour ago If you had only
voke me up!"— Youth's Companion.
Practical Opposed to Ideal.
Among the legends connected with
the great Cardinal Borromuo, the fot
j lowing Is told to visitors to the Uugn
; palace of that ancient family on llio
' Borromean Islands In the Italian luk!».
j When Cardinal llorromeo had shown
; Cardinal Glullo the vast abode which
he had just completed, tl e latter main
tained a strict silence until they had-
Inspected the whole. When departing.
| he said: "Your eminence, I have been
reflecting that the huge sums spent
on this place might have been given
to the poor." Cardinal llorromeo re
plied: "Your eminence, they have been
given to tho |ioor. But our notions
of charity differ. I pay the poor for
their labor, and your emir lcf for
tbelr Idleness."

Rural Solomon.
"Tho court has taken your case Into
consideration, Mr. Blithers," said the
judge, at Hllthers's trial for violating
tho motor ordinances at Crlckett's
! Corners, "and, In view of what ye've
said, and with some trewth, about tho
badness of our roads hereabouts "hi
your sworn testimony, I've decided
not to lino yo SOO, as the law pcr
. mils."
| "That's very square of yotl. Judge,"
said Blithers,
j "Wo try to be square, Mr. Slithers,"
' said the Judge, "and. Instead of the s"'>
fine, we're goln' to sonteace yo to

the hope that your sooperlor wisdom
as a road expert will make 'em COD
sld'rably better."

The bald-headed man burst vloWnt

up to the proprietor.
"Bee here, sir!" be eald, "that h»lr
restorer" —
"Why," Interrupted the barber,
"you bought that only two days ago—
you can't expect—"
I "No, no," the man broke In, "our
green mald-of-all-work mistook It for
furniture polish and —" v
"Ob, you want another bottle?"
"Not by a jugful! 1 want you to
come and shave our parlor set and

Why Married Men Live Long.
I The reason a married man lives
longer than a single man Is because
the single man leads a selfish exist
ence. A married man can double his
pleasure. Any time he has a streaV
of good luck It tickles him all over,
but It make* him feel twice as good
when be tells bl» wife about It. And
abe la ao pleased and proud that be
feels like a two-year-old. There Isn't
a chance In the world of a man's ar
teries hardening or hla heart weaken
ing when be can get a million dollars'
worth of pleasure out of making bis
wife happy/—Cincinnati Enquirer.
