decorated wagons and automobiles.

terms a grange is sure o f something,
and It may be something very much
worth while.
A M A S S A C H U S E T T S IDEA.
Agricultural Exhibit at Annual Meeting
of the State Grange.
The Massachusetts stute grange au­
thorities are certainly to be commended
for their plan to have an agricultural
and horticultural exhibition In connec­
tion with the next state grange meet­
ing in this city in December. It is not
to be an exhibit for revenue, as no
premiums will be awnrded, but it Is
to he strictly educational, and each de­
partment will be under expert manage­
ment. Each grange Is to have charge
o f that class of products or articles
with the production o f which Its mem-
twrs are most familiar. This will in­
sure the best possible showing In the
respective articles or products nnd will
familiarize the public with that which
Is the best that the state can produce.

There will be no trouble, we Imagine,
to get the consent of the exhibitors to
the proposition o f State Master Gard­
ner and his committees, to give the
produce placed on exhibition, after the
close o f the state grange meeting, to
different charitable institutions o f Bos­

their part, nnd it will save them the
expense of freighting the articles back

that of Chelsea grange In Maine. For
two years the project has beep under
way. The lumber was bought stand­

gave their labor freely to cut It nnd
haul it to the mill to be sawed and
prepared for the building.. They also
contributed a large part of the labor '
required In the erecting of the build­

lesson in co-operation. The new prop­

and there is only $S00 debt upon it. ■

make a
mistake in treating their
advertising as something ex­
traneous to themselves and
to the people they want to
reach. They omit ttie iierson-
al element, which is the es­
sence o f successful advertis­
ing.
Be personul In your adver­
tising as you would be In
conversation. Try to Impress
the individual buyer by direct
and personul appeal. Write
your advertisement with the
knowledge that It is to be
read by individuals each of
whom thinks uud acts Indi­
vidually. But into your ad­
vertisement
something of
yourself, something of your
sincerity and enthusiasm.
Make your advertising as
much a part of yourself as
your business Is.
(lave it
distinctive nnd characteristic,
as dignified as you are. as
unconventional as you are.
in writing your advertising
be yourself.
Don't try to
write above or below your
level. W rite as you would
talk—simply, sincerely.
So
doing your advertisement will
“ pull.”
The editor’s advice and
suggestions are always yours
for the asking. You are en­
