I-ast year the average price of cotton was SBS a ble. Aside Trom patriotic sentiment the purchaser of cotton at prevailing prices has the satisfaction of knowing that he Is buying It on an Investment basis. The North, the East, the West, the entire world Is turning their atten tion to buying cotton at present prices as a good investment.

"1 tell you 1 Haw them with my own eyes," said old white hen, standing on one foot with her neck outstretched and her hill wide open. "One was pink and the other was blue. They were Just like any other egg ns far «m size, but the color think of It pink and blue eggs. Whoever could have laid them?” Old white hen ~ooked from one to the other of the group of hens and chickens ns they stood around her. "Where did you see them?” asked speckled hen.

"Perhaps white hen is color blind.” said speckled hen "The eggs she saw may bo white after all." "If you doubt my word or my sight go and look for yourself." said white hen, holding her head high. "You will find a blue and a pink egg Just as I told you." The First Test of Advertising Reducing it to plain terms, the first rule in successful advertising is to get the right people to read what you have to say. It is obvious that the best medium is the one read by the greatest number of the right people. < What so answers that description so well as the newspaper? Every man, woman, and child who rends at all is a newspaper reader. Each newspaper has a distinct, definite clientele, easily ascertained. There need be no guesswork about newspaper advertising—as any expert can tell you. Manufacturers anxious to find a definite market for a given product will find news paper advertising the direct route. Information about newspapers given on request by the Bureau of Advertising.

One after another they flew to tho top of the barrel and looked In the window nt the eggs white hen told them if. It was all too true; the eggs were blue and pink. "Peep, peep, peep, peep, we want to see the blue and pink eggs, too," cried the chickens. "We never saw any and we want to look nt them." “Oh, dear, why did 1 talk before them?" nald brown hen. “They will not be quiet unless they see, and how in the world shall I get them up to thnt window?” “Did It ever occur to you not to give they everything they cry for?" said white hen. "Say no once In a while; it will save you a lot of trouble.” "I cannot bear to deny the little darlings anything," said brown hen, clucking tier little brood and trying to quiet them. "Well, you hetler begin now, for this Is one of the things you will not lie able to do," said white men, strutting over to the doghouse to tell the story of the blue and pink eggs to Towser. "Wouldn't 11 be Just too awful if the master puts those eggs In one of our nests?” asked white hen, when she had finished tho story. “Oh—oh," laughed Towser, "that Is a good Joke on you; don’t know your own eggs when you see thrm." "Don’t tell me 1 laid those fancy colored eggs," said white hen, looking nround to see If any of her compan ions were within hearing distance. "I know 1 never did." “But you did,” said Towser, laugh ing Hgain. "I heard the master say to my little mistress, if you want eggs to color for Easter take the ones that white hen laid; they are not so large as the others, and I cannot sell them so well." "Towser, If you will never mention what you have just told me I will tell you where l saw a great big bone this morning," said white hen. "1 was sav ing It for myself. I like to pick at ons once In a while, but you shall have It If you promise to keep secret what you Just told me” Towser promised, and white hen showed where It was hidden. A few days after brown hen said, *T wonder when master Is going to bring THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. out those fancy eggs. If he loaves them in the house much longer no one will be able to hatch them.” “Oh! I forgot to tell you that those eggs were not real eggs after all," said white hen, “but only Easter eggs for the master’s little girl to play with, so wo had all our worry for nothing. Towser told me, but don’t say a word to him, for l did not let on that we were worried, and didn’t know they were only make-believe eggs; he thinks he is so wise, you know, it would never do to let him know how we were fooled."

Few people have any concep tion of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Sampalgn. Here are a few figures that will show what a gigantic movement this is. Already 115,000,000 seals have been printed and practically that entire number distributed to acents in almost every state in the Union. Probably 15,000,000 more will be needed. Advertising circulars, posters, cards, etc., to the number of several million have also been distributed. Tt Is esti mated that the army of paid and volunteer workers engaged In sell ing the seals number well over 100,000. The advertising and pub licity donated to the campaign amounts to several hundred thou sand dollars. Every effort Is be ing put forth to sell 100,000.004 seals, or about one for every man, woman and child in the United States.
