How has this com about? Tou could pat all Germany, and Pennsyl vania to boot, In the state of Texas. Yet there are upward of 70,000,000 Ger mans. With scant natural resources, Um Teuton had to think hard and soak the best of it Just as In schol arly and scientific research, his agri cultural and industrial labors have been Intense, methodical, plodding, thorough. He has taught the world how to farm. He is supreme in the economic use of chemicals. It Is rather comfortable to hear that the opinion of experts in the Lake Su perior region Is decidedly adverse to the riew that the supplies of Iron ore at the present rate of Increased use will laat only a short time. Those fa miliar with the region point out bil lions of tons In the Cascade range, be sides millions proved Op in the Neg snnee, Ishpemig and other ranges to the weat ward of the latter. Possibly a strict analysis of the prophecy of short life for our ore supply would disclose that It refers only to the ex haustion of the Mesaba deposits. Even then they are predicated on the main tenance of a rate of Increase in min ing equal to the exceptional one of the past two decades. Apart from the cor rectness of that calculation the fact la well known "tat there are vast de posits of ors ret practically un touched.

No' Other Kind of Advertlelng Pos . eease S Msny Elements of Pro- ""duolng Profit An Advertise-'' , ment Is Only Qood When pt Is Rsad. yGUY S, OSBORN. Everybody take a dally newspaper. It Is read by every member of the family. The dally newspsper responds to vry dally want of the home na tional, local, society and sporting news and last, but not least, adver tising news. The house for sale, the furniture man. the coat man, grocery man, and market man in fact, every want of the home is fully supplied through the columns of the daily newspaper. It goea Into the home with a welcome to the very people you want to reach. In the newspaper you can give a headline to attract attention to your wares, thereby sifting out the people Interested In your merchandise and tell them your story. Your adver tisement is on the same page and right alongside the very news for which the paper is bought You do not have to look for it it is never lost. There Is no other kind of ad vertising which possesses as many elements of producing profit aa the dally newspaper, for It reaches and is read by every member of the family. With the dally newspaper you can dally refresh the mind of the buying public, for the dally newspaper ad is always fresh. It never hss a flavor of stateness. It enables you to keep your name and wares dally before the buy ing public, for the needs of today are met and supplied by the dally news paper. An advertisement is only good when it Is read 30 days or a thou sand on the book shelf counts for naught. The dally newspaper is not read as an amusement sheet or to kill Idle time; Its place In the family Is of too greet importance. Its news is so ar ranged that It appeals to every mem ber of the family father, mother, sis ter and brother. It has the steady producing qualities. It gets closer to the people than any other kind of publicity. You buy your paper, and every one else does, because you be lieve in its policies and therefor have absolute confidence In Its advertising columns. A circulation that shapes the business of today and governs the expenditure of the weekly income. No home is worth cultivating through your advertising that the daily newspaper does not go into, un less you are doing a strict mall order business. You can't keep the newspa per ad out of the home if you try. it comes in with a welcome because It's the women's shopping guide and the men's barometer of business life. If you have anything to say to the pub lic, tell it to them through the col umns of their dally newspaper. It is bought for both news and advertising. 8lgnbosrds and street car cards, when used by advertisers, undoubtsdly help In making namee known, but that la a" they can do. Newspapers, after all, must do the EDUCATING must tell WHY the article ahould be used. THE AGE OF ADVERTISING More Attention Now Being Paid to That Department Than Ever Before. Writers of advertisements are giv ing more attention to the matter In their productions. Newspaper read ers are also doing more in the way of giving attention to the advertise ments than they did ten or fifteen yeasr ago, and there are at least three reasons for that One Is, that the advertisements are better reading than they formerly were. Another Is the ads are changed oftener, while the third and chief reason is, prices are quoted more freely than in the past and there is no getting around the fact that the housewife who lays any claim to tbrlftiness is on the lookout for bargains. The merchant who has his ear to the ground Is aware of this and words his messages accordingly. When yon read a merchant's ad vertisement you are reading what he has to say to you about his wares. He invites you to come and see what he has for sale. He wants your trad and takes the only way known to him to reach you. The advertising columns of a newspaper so far as they represent, are representative of the live business man of. the town, and you will find therein the names of the merchants' who want your trade. Without exception they- are the pro gressive men of the city; men who keep their stocks up-to-date and are not afraid to tell about their goods. , f Advertising as a Salesman. An Iowa exchange quotes the fol lowing on the merits and superiority of advertising aa a salesman: "Advertising is ajsaleamaa that Is always at work, bu never. wearies a customer; that calls on the same man until he is convinced, but' never an noy nlm with Itst Insistence,1 that wastes, no time, wastes no words, and that can always gain an audience and a hearing. Alone among salesmen, advertising has' free access to Presi dent Taft and Mr. Morgan, to my lady In her chamber, to the fireside of the most exclusive home; It marches un checked past the secretary of the big r""-hant and enters' without hln e the store of the retailer. When i not tell It story to a man la 1 o.7.ce it can always gain his at t Tition In bis home, or reach him uro' v his wire or daughter." THE HEART OF . . - -. ADVERTISING , By 0 SOROS . SANTA. ? It la an rror Into which many merchant have fallea to think that to advertise Is mere ly to subscribe for a certain amount tt spaa In the news-' , paper, or Mm otheo. medium, which costs them money. This I not advertlalng; It I only the evidence of advertlalng. . When jrour favorite,. Plymouth Rock ha placed an egg to her credit aha Isn't slow In letting you know of th fact but the - noise ah make over th event I no more th egg than the ad vertising space In the newspa per Is the advertising It should represent ' -- v ! ' Th heart of, advertlalng con slsts In good and Important new to the public. It I of fective Insofar as the public, know and recognises that It is genuine, truthful and timely. The more w know about ad vertising, the more sharply we discriminate In Its favor. Ad vertising men refuse to class as advertising standing card and unchanged advertisements,, so called. In the newspapera. This is not the fault of the newspapera. nor of advertising, aa such. What would you think if it came to you day after day, and week after week, with Just exsctly the same storlea and news Items? Of course. It would be uninteresting and the editor would not only have an angry lot of subscribers, but every advertiser would be com ing In with a big complaint. Yet many advertisers entirely overlook the fact that people take a newspaper for news. The readers do not csre where they find thst news, whether In the news or the advertising col umns, but wherever It is they read It and act upon It A real live newspaper Is the greatest action-producing force In the community. The merchant who wants his advertising to pay will not for get to put into it a big, throb blng heart. He will have some- ; thing new he will have some- : thing of especial Interest at his store. This will be the heart ; of his advertising and be will put it into tbe space he uses in his home newspaper. Other mediums, like calendars and signs, will hold forth his name to the public, but tbey cannot from their very nature, be en dowed with the real heart of advertising. Tbe advertiser must depend upon the newspa per to carry to the public the news of his store and by Intel ligently using Its columns he can turn dull days Into bright and busy ones. BEST ARGUMENT IS BEST AD Copy Thst Appeals Only to the Eye la Pale and Impotent, Declarea Newspaperdom. In objecting very vigorously to the statement that if an ad catches and tickles the eye it Is sure to be ef fective, Newspaperdom takes a fall out of a writer wbo haa been unduly playing up the importance of "visual sensation." The advertising writer who depends on that doesn't know hi business. In the opinion of Newspa perdom, argumentative advertising thst reaches a conclusion that make a distinct mental sensation la the ad vertising that will deliver the results. It argues: "Advertising that consists of noth ing more than ocular pleasantries 1 pale and Impotent It Is Ilk the china platter without a sirloin steak upon it. The picturesque didoes of pig tailed Chinks may make a distinct visual impression, but It is the broiled meat with tbe red Juice ooslng out of It that telle me I am going to have something that will nourish my body. "It must be remembered, too, that there Is an existing demand for mer chandise which Influence reader ot newspapers and magaxlnes to search for advertisements relating to that which will meet their requirements. The eye-catching device will help s woman locste an advertisement, but It will not persuade her to spend 110. The want of the article and the price she must invest have combined to stimulate her Interest, and she will read everything In a newspaper or magazine touching the topio upper most in her mind.- ' "Tbe best-selling talk will capture her money, and the best selling talk will always ba found In the best ad vertisement" W.-v7 ;" 7::' MIHIMMIM Z i "Advertising haa reached the 1 point where It la regarded as 4 I new by reader of newepapera, 2 T and In order to make K effsc X tlve It must be news." J Hammereteln and th Pre.' ' Oscar Hammesteln is suing Mm. Tetrasslnl : for 1225,000, alleging breach of a. contract which entitles him to the services of the- diva untn the close of 1913, says tho New York Mirror, He presented his testimony before United States Commissioner Shields. Benjamin P. Spellman, Mm. Tatrnzfnra lawver. ouestloned Mr. Hammerstein at some length, 1 The im presario claims to have made tns singer reputation, by his astute pub licity methods. Tetrasslnl' voice and Hammerstein' press depsrtment are about equally responsible for her pop alarlty, he maintain,, This I worth remembering. , . '7 Advertising Psys. r. . . This is an assertion aa old as news paperdom and must be true, else tha years of knocks would have utterly destroyed its strength and advertls irg would not be today the one power ful cord which binds together financial emoluments and popularity. Suit Coiffure to Hat I ) I. i ) IT It I true (aa those who make It their business to know, say It is) that American women have less hair than the women of other lands, then we are compelled to ad mire the cleverness with which they conceal this deficiency. One would naturally Infer that a ralrety of styles In bairdreaalng would be Impossible to them, but this is not th caa at all. By using switches, chignons, transformations and the many other devices of dealer In hair goods, all tbe pretty concelta In tbe changing faahlons In coiffure are copied and our gentlewomen continue to look to day demur, tomorrow vivacious; an other day finds them with a stately coiffure and then again they effect simplicity. No doubt Cleopatra rung all the change within bar knowledge or Invention In matters of dress to aid her In earning the greatest trib ute paid to her fascinstlons: "Age cannot wither, nor custom stale, her Infinite variety." Just now we must concern our selves with suiting our, coiffures to both large and amall hats, Tbe new imports for midsummer are jnor than large, one may almost call them enor mous. Tbe large hats require a coiffure designed to fill in the space under the brim next the face and bead, otherwise they look grotesque snd their beauty ia wasted. The small hats require only enough hair visible about the face to frame It but It Is necessary to have a coiffure under HEADGEAR FOR THE MOTOR Attractive In Design snd Affords Ample Protection Against the Flying Dust Here Is a very attractive way of ar ranging headgear for motoring. The vleux roae straw shape la wound with a blue silk scarf, which terminates in a loose choa at th aide. A rose silk frill frames tha face and a chiffon veil of th same color la gathered on to th crown, to be thrown back off tha face if preferred. No pin at all are) required, except for fixing the bonnet on the head. l Buy Ready-Msde Llnans.- - Moat housewives nowaday effect a great saving In many ways by buying their bed linen and towels ready made. These are offered attractively hem stitched at reasonable price. Bat you must conform to regulation sises and traalltlea. ;V:v ' ft , Many mistakenly believe that" they can economise by baying sheeting or toweling by th yard and doing the hemming or hemstitching themselves Th woman of leisurely hours who lore to sew and who perhapa want to elaborate th hem with more or less Intricate drawn work may find thla worth while. Most women wiU find it advisable to stick to the ready aadea. i - " Quaint Frock, v -: When children form a part of tha bridal procession they are often dress ed in quaint little gowns copied from styles ot other lands or of th years gone by. Many of these are quaint old styles adapted to tbe fashion of tbe present day, but all are pretty and make the child as attracUv attendant at wedding. . . ? v th hat, lor th hat mast be taken off. Th puffed chignon show In tbe picture Is woven In a long atrip Ilk that used for a "transformation." This strip is drawn together at Intervals leaving quit large (pace on th un der' aids of th oolffur, which are covered by th puffs and curls on th outside. These opea spaces afford ventilation, and they also make It possible to arrange th chignon In a great variety of stylss. What with thess and tha hair band now uni versally worn there la no and to th variety of coiffures that faahloa make possible. .- The ahlgnon placed high , on th head so that It la In the crown of the hat solve th problem of the small turban and makes a stately and beau tiful coiffnr. Tbe puffs are crowded together a little) and pinned down over a coil of th natural hair (or two colls) placed on top. Usually no other support Is needed for this coif fure. In case the natural hair I very thin a amall .pompadour may be arranged by using s small hair roll before the chignon ia pinned to place. Julia Bottomley In th Illus trated Milliner. Row of Frills. Rows of little frills again finish th hems of dressy gowns, but the frills are scanty and their aoft materials make them far from bouffant They add little to the flow of the hem of the skirt TUB DRESSES FOR A DOLLAR Dainty Frocks In All Sorts of Designs Are Now Well Within the Resch of All. It is astonishing how many dainty frocks for the summer can be made these days setting th limit ot ex pendlture at $1, Including th pat terns and threads. Never before have so msny delicate designs been shown In Inexpensive lawns and ginghams., and the busi ness girl should begin now to make the smart little dresses which she wUl wear to the office during the coming summer. " Two things should ba remembered. One Is that much trimming of any sort detract both from the cool af fect of tbe gown and make It bad to launder; th second Is that however dainty the very light materials are they are far less serviceable than a plaid or a plain buff or blu dress. ; As to the question of expense, be gin with the pattern. Choose on of th new one that are capable of being carried out In several different fash Ions, with or without' the high waist line or with long or short sleeves and with of without yoke." Thua for 15 cents you win provide- yourself with a pattern for several frock.

When you buy a holt of narrow rib bon, save the paper on which It 1 wound, and us this later to plac un der soft materials when stitching them, to avoid puckering. .'J Yon will find this much better than tearing up trips ot newspaper for th purpose. , Ribbon Holder.
