Cove News Notes Harold Van Vlack EnliBts in Marine Corps Cove Is Proud of Her Sol dier and Sailor Boys Dr. McCown Enlists in Base Hospital Corps Miss Bonnie Severs Is Much Im provedBig Sum Raised for Red Cross. Cove, Ore., June 28. (Special) Harold Van Vlack, one of our Cove boys while in Portland, enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and has been transferred to the Marine Bar racks at Mare Island, Cal., where he will remain under instruction about three months and will then be trans ferred for duty elsewhere. Accord ing to a letter received by Harold's mother from the Maior General Com mandant, George Barnett, the Marine Corps looks very carefully after the How Much Can You Earn As An Ad-Writer? Perhaps it has not occurred to you that you might be able to EARN MONEY AS A WRITER. You have not classed yourself as a confrere of Kipling, or of Irvin Cobb. You have read of the high prices commanded by , some of these top-notch writers for their work but it has never dawned upon you that there are other forms of WRITING which yield great rewards, often greater than those won. by popular authors. Yet this is true. Among your own acquaintances there are, doubtless, men and women who have earned very high rewards for good writing. We refer to people who write SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISEMENTS. A man has some real estate to sell. Ho may need to make a quick sale, and is willing to sacrifice something of the value of the property for the sake of the quickly realizing some cash. That property may be worth a great deal more to one buyer than to another. His problem is to find the man to whom it is worth most. He writes a classified ad. If he strikes the right note, gets his selling argument "over," he enlists the interest of the right man in his offering.makes the sale at a fair price and in curs no great sacrifice of money. The ad costs a few dollars, perhaps and earns for him hundreds. The same thing happens with advertisers in other lines of the classified. To be able to write a message or an offer clearly, forcibly, convincingly that is to ibe able to command a very great reward AS A WRITER. HOW MUCH CAN YOU EARN AS AN AD WRITER? Why not test the matter in connection with something you have to sell, or with something you want? It Is An Old Story But Never the Less It Is Trua WE SELL FOR LESS That is what crowds of people remark daily MY HOW CHEAP! You will say that, too, if you will come iu and look our stock over If you want new or second-hand furniture, come across the track and teach your dollars to have more sense . ; HARRIS FURNITURE CO.

Under or dinary conditions they have oppor tunity for Btudy and if so inclined to fit themselves for positions in civil life. Cove is proud of the fact that at least a dozen of her boys have an swered to the call of their country and that there are others who are ready to go Dr .and Mrs. McCown returned from Portland last week where the doctor went as representative to the Masonic Grand Lodge and Mrs. Mc Cown attended the Eastern Star Lodge. Before returning Dr. Mc Cown made a trip to Vancouver, Wash., for the purpose of taking the examination for the Medical Reserve Corps and was appointed to a Base Hospital Corps, organized in Portland and headed by eminent and well known physicians connected with the 'University of Oregon. This corps consists of 24 doctors, 75 nurses and 200 attendants. The doctor will hoid himself in readiness to go whenever the call comes and will leave his prac tice here in competent hands.

Ray Baker, who left for Monmouth two weeks ago to complete his normal course, found upon his arrival there that he had sufficient credits to grad uate and was encouraged by the fac ulty to take the summer course at the state university in Salem where he went immediately. Fred Conklin is visiting relatives in Wallowa. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Miller have re turned from Astoria where they went as delegates) to the State Grange convention. The Boy Scouts gave an entertain ment at Maccabee hall Monday even ing showing "The Adventures of a lioy Scout" in five reels. The views were of a high class, depicting scout work. The scouts received many new ideas and an increased stimulus in their work. The boys netted about $20 which will be placed in the treasury until the fund is sufficient to purchase their scout suits.

I Preliminary arrangements for the new Methodist church are progressing satisfactorily.

Motley, formerly of Cove who has been teaching school at Cripple Creek the past year, has been visiting his brother, Leo Motley, and old friends here for several days. Mr. Motley recently applied at Washing ton, D. C, for a commission in the Signal Service Corps and was re ferred to Fort Omaha, for which point he is now on his way. Oakland To Have Advertising School Oakland, Cal., June 26 (Special) "The reason that storekeepers who pose as business men claim that it docs not pay them to advertise is be cause they don't know how to adver tise." Thus spoke Walter W. Cribbins, President of the Pacific Coast Adver tising Men's Association, this morn ing, in speaking of the plans for the annual convention to be held in Oak land, July 22, 23, 24 and 25. Continu ing, he su'd: "Any man can buy advertising space in a newspaper or on a hitch ing post, but it takes real, honest-to-goodness brains to fill the space, if a man wants customers to patronize his store. "Too many storekeepers have the wrong idea of advertising; they be lieve that because they had an ordi , nary business card copied in a news , paper once, and people did not fall all over themselves to buy their goods, that advertising is an absolute waste . of money. To successfully advertise a store a merchant must study Wuathcr condi tions, the effect of current news is having on the minds of those people he would like to sell his goods to, etc. Advertising does not mean printer's ink alone. It means courtesy to the customer. The successful business man does not advertise rain coats wnen mere is no prospect of rain. Neither does ho make cigars or an old pipe and blow the smoke in his , customer's face. Nor does he allow a saleslady to chew gum and at the same i time try to wait upon a customer. Only a genius can chew gum and at the same time sell goods; and genius. es don't work in stores. New cus tomers are hard to get, and old ones are not easy to hold. Advertising is a business, not a game, and it requires the real, serious study of all the cle ments of a business to advertise intel ligently. For instance, there is no use of a merchant advertising if he does l not tell the truth about his merchan ; disc He can fool a customer once. I But the customer will never believe ; any advertisement the merchant pub- ! lishes at a later date. It is also folly, too, to spend money for newspaper ad vertising and permit the clerks to drive the customers away by being dis courteous. "This year we are going to make ' the annual convention a business ! man's school, and business men from j all the Western States are invited to attend the sessions and learn how to successfully advertise their business. how to increase their profits, and how . to avoid the little thihgs that spell ' disaster."
