Hugh Chalmers, bead of th Chal mers Motor company, but woo for merly had charge of th advertising department of the National Cash Register Co., for which he received salary of $71,000 a year, la an address to the Publicity club at Springfield, Massachusetts, said: . . "There ar two zcuses why any man should not advertise. . Bo It man la looking for an axcu between these two he always has on. . "I beUav that newspapers atw th best mediums for advertising be cause th people r always looking for news. They buy a newspaper to read th news, and they stumble Into to advertising. I believe tn all kinds of mediums magaslnes, both weekly and monthly, and weekly newspapers. I believe In any medium that has legitimate circulation, but I particu larly believe la the newspapers as be ing th beat way of reaching th peo ple with almost anything you have to sell 1 believe that advertising and salesmanship a re th Chief factor la distribution, and th relationship be tween th two Is th closest la fact. they ar Inseparable, because all ad vertising Is salesmanship and all salesmanship is advertising. If yon want on word that wUl tak th Dlacef at both that one word I teach ing. Advertising and salesmanship ar teaching people to believe In you and in tha goods yon bav to eiu In advertising, however, yon are talk. lng to thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of people at a tlm. while In salesmanship you are talk ing to one or two persons at .a- tlm, so that It might properly be said that advertising conducts a publio school. while salesmanship gives Individual lessons, but In each on you ar teaching, whether It be In printed ad vertlelng or in oral salesmanshtn. "Now, let's consider the advertising side of the question for a few mo ments. As I have said before, I don't think It la possible to get up any set of rules, governing advertising, 'be cause Just as surely as you try to do this you will find the rules don't; work. Instead of being a set of rules, adver tising mainly consists of having the right idea and using it at the right time. That sounds simple, but It is, too, but it is on of those things so Infernally aimple that they are hard. We make It hard sometimes because we try to go about It with a set of rules which some one has told ns about, or we try to apply it to other tests of simplicity and plainness and of common sense. To my mind there ar only three fundamental principles In advertising, and these are as fol lows: First, be honest: second, be sensible; third, be persistent. I aay 'be honest because very advertiser should remember that ad vertising doesnt " create value It merely tells It Th value baa to be in the article Itself. Advertising never added to or detracted from any article ever sold, and, while It is pos sible through advertising to create a lot of first orders through misrepre sentation, yet It would be Impossible to repeat such an advertising' cam paign, and no permanent success was ever built up on misrepresentation or misstatement 1 say ba sensible because there are so many men who seem to talk about everything else but the right thing when they get to writing ad vertising copy. Be sensible because the majority of people who read copy are endowed with good common sense. ' ' I say be persistent because you have to keep everlastingly at It Peo ple soon forget there Is so much to attract their attention and tanless we keep persistently at advertising we had better not begin at all. As my good friend Colonel Late Toung . of pes Moines has said. "Every man. woman ana cnna in tnis country knows that a railroad crossing Is dan gerous, but the railroads dont take down their "Stop, Look, Listen!" signs.' Keep" up advertising and be persistent Why T Because the hard est thing to find today Is yesterday's newspaper. If you dont think so,, try to find one. v. :f , There Is no J particular " mystery about ; advertising. In th last analy sis It is simply .common sens plus printer's Ink." v ,, ..; 1 i-BPftftntwwtnprnnonnflnnnftt!ro - As soon as you make a prae- . tic of reading advertisements ; ' you will realise what you might ' i have missed by Ignoring them.

I cannot recall now from watno It cam, for I would Ilk to give due credit to its author for the following gem which I clipped from Its pagea: " "No advertising Is NOT a game "Nor la It A GAMBLE. "It la the powerful essence of selling which, wheu bandied la a practical. BANS manner, creates MORE BUSI NESS, lowers SEIXJNO COST, tllnv Inata Ike time-wasting Introductory work of your salesmen. "Bhora of the mjrstery that many attempt to put about It advertlalng without wast and aitravagant the ories Is your greatest trade builder. "Forget the Idea that It takes big money to advertise. "SWEEP ASIDE, th awesome veil that makes a valuable trad builder seen a mystery. . ;, .1 "INVESTIGATE advertising as you would Investigate th claims of a big salesman covering the wide world as his territory. j' . Then you'll be starting oa th right track. . . . ,, .... 'Toull see that Judicious advertis ing is PRACTICAL AND PROFIT ABLE." v ' . This Is sound doctrln. . And let m add to th abov th following from MR. JOHN W ANA- MAKER: "If there Is on enterprise on earth that a 'quitter should leave severely alone It la advertising. To mak a success of advertising on must b prepared to STICK like a barnacle oa a boat's bottom. "ADVERTISING DOES NOT JERK; IT PULL8. It begins very gently at first but the pull Is steady. It In creases day by day and year by year. nntn it exerts an irresistible power." What's th ns of people talking foolishly about advertising? IT ALWATS PATS WHEN IT IS DONE RIGHT. Why should not every man who has something to sell advertiser And don't forget that advertising creates a market for bralaa as wall aa for things to eat and to wear. -. Professional men will advertise ome day Just as successful MER CHANTS do today. CURING A SICK BUSINESS Same Principles Needed to Put Back on Profitable Basis ss If Treating Human Ilia. The manager of a atore put up an advertlalng proposition to his board of directors, which meant the expendi ture of nearly $10,000 more in the year than they had ever spent before. One of the directors, with very de cided views, opposed carrying out the plan to the extent proposed, on the ground that It represented TOO MUCH MONET, and wanted It cul down about half. The manager, fortified by the other directors, fought hard to have - his plan approved of. Finally, In despera tion, he said to the objecting director: IF TOO WERE SICK TOO WOULD CALL ONE OF THE BEST DOCTORS TOTJ COULD GET. Now, I have employed the BEST ADVERTISING DOCTOR in the coun try, who has submitted this plan. To me It Is INTELLIGENT and will cure our business Ills. Just at the present tlm our business Is sick. Tvow if a doctor prescribed for you. and you went to a druggist who told you it would cost 15 to fill th pre scription, would you say to th drug- 1 don't want to spend more than 12.50 on that prescription Just WEAKEN THE PARTS ONE-HALF, and I will pay you $2.50 for it!' 1 If you did this THE MEDICINE WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE and you would not get well. "The same PRINCIPLE applies to this advertlalng plan of ours. It bas got to be a whole cathartic Instead of half one." ; ' . rnis presentation of the matter brought round the objecting director. He withdrew hia objections and the advertising will be put out as planned. : Enthuiam. Isn't it true that some buyers of ad vertising from the very sense of their duty to be conservative as. buyers, to weigh ail the bad as well as tb good points in tb proposition, lose th en thusiasm so necessary to a successful publicity campaign? ' -'- - A few flays ago th writer met one of , the .most successful; advertising managers In the country and asked him how a certain piece of advertlalng 1 had ."panned out" Th advertising man said: "Well, ouf-buslness for last month wss Just double what It was the am month last year, and your proposition' certainly la entitled to a good share of the credit" ; , - Some buyer would say that this statement was a mistake; that It never does for th advertiser to' ac-' knowledge the 'merits of a proposition to th man who presents It' We believe quit tb contrary is tb case. We believe that nothing so stim ulates an advertising maa to redouble bis efforts to give still mor efficient service as such a frank acknowledg ment of work , wen don. And w believ that Wis buyers of advertising realise that It Is enthusi asm which changes a red glow Into the whit heat of a great success. Good Goods Essential.

Time Is swiftly passing by and as lr does history Is being made, and I fear It the history of the Farmers' union could be written In detail It would not ahow up as well as 1 th more emnusiasua or ns wouia preier, writes M, F. Dickinson In the Co- Operator. How many locals aa a whole mor anthuslastlo of ns would prefer, would coma np with a clean record of obedience to the orders of the anion leaders? let Who would for ae minut argu against not merely th "Importance" but th "neceaslty of co-operation T Imagine If yon can what the effects would bav been In HOT bad Charles S. Barrett Immediately after the or der had. goo out to the bankers of ths country from their chief banking mogul In New Tork to hold your mon ey In their banks, given out a similar order to the membership of this great farmers' organisation to hold vry pound of meat lard, butter, etc, vry bushel of wheat, corn, potatoes and rice; In fact vry article, of farm products then In their bands. Who doubts for on mnut ' that th banks of th country would have been thrown open before th follow ing Wednesday night t That Is, pro vided the fanners of the country bad obeyed this order of their chief as the bankers did their New Tork chief. But d though It la to acknowledge, Charll Barrett knew th order would sot b obeyed and banco h did not end It out But many bav oo-operated together aad thla co-op ration baa shows r suit. To Ulustrat: In th early days of our organisation th bualn as world would aot deal with as at an. They looked upon aa aa trespassers on th rights of others, without th business sense to do any kind of business oth er than raise com or eottoa. But by eo-o peratlon we were able In many lo calities to control so much business that they begin to sit np and tak no tice. Seeing that wa war not only abl to conduct a business, but that we were actually doing It regardless of th ban which had virtually been placed upon ua. they began soliciting- our business. Last year oar manager tried many eottoa oil companies be fore b found on that wonld let ns buy seed for them. - This year several I r . w business. The manager of one of our oo-oper- atlv stores told mo that when tbey first organised he made a trip to St Louie to buy groceries, but upon, ar rival ther found that only on whole sale grocery company was willing to sell to him. Now they ar all anxious to do business with him. And so runs the history of our business experi ences. Now, seriously, brethren, without co-operation the union Is worth noth ing. It can never hope to wield any Influence either at horn or -abroad, with Its own membership or .the busi ness wprld .without this co-operation. What preparations are being made In your neighborhood or county to co operate with th anion this yearT Hav you mad any arrangements to assist those who are not abl to 'do as they would Ilk toT If not why not? Hav you arranged to handle their distressed cotton by financing It for themT Ton can do so If you bav not already don so. Hav you made any arrangementa to handle their cot ton seed, chickens, eggs, butter, etc. for them? If ao, yon may well expect their co-operation with you. But be fore you expect anything dona you, th leaders In your county must hav some tangible plan to handle their stuff ready to put Into operation not soma Impracticabl dream. Now, If your leaders hav these ar-. rangementa mad ar you, th mem. hers of the union, going to co-operate together, thus guaranteeing the suc cess of their plans this yeart They have a right to expect you to do so. In a recent ruling of President Charles 8. Barrett h says any member who refuses to obey the orders of the union can be suspended or expelled from the order.- But no one desires to do this. As you very well know, this would not attain the ends desired. We need you In the organisation, and you should patronise th Institutions of th order. I want to impress on each and every member the Importance of working to gether. 1 Cooperation Is our weapon. : Agricultural Knowledge.'.

People are studying agriculture aa never be fore." - Once, and not very long ago, either. It was thought derogatory to the high, character of the human In tellect to engage It in the sordid af fairs of business. - Eventually brains became involved In business affairs as well as In philosophy, rhetoric and poetry, and later even philosophers and poeta became reconciled to this humiliation of the "Ood-Uke" faculty of man. Later farmers began to In- vok tb Intellect to Insure - success and began to arouse themselves from th lethargy of centuries, and to ask. why so much progress In other lines and so llttl on th farms. Farmers ar now combining In on enthusiastic chase In a hot pursuit of knowledge. Let vry one of us run th race of our Uvea. .

He Is astonished at the cheapness of everything and mar vels at the fact that there he can buy a thousand sheets of the finest linen paper, bearing at the top in deep old English engraved lettering the Inscrip tion, - "House of Representatives, United States, Washington," for $2.40. He can get a high grade, fine finished cotton paper for $1.8$ per thousand, engraving included, and another grade with handsome lithograph superscrip tion for $1. ' Later the congressman la told th reason for this, and along with that Information It Is explained to him that his stationery allowance will b $125.
