The ser,ent first advertised big red apples in the Garden of Eden, and sold them too," said Judge Etchison, of the State, in an address to the Press Club of the University, at its last meet mng. Mr. Etchinson pointed out some of the pertineit features of interest to prospective journalists. At the close of talk of the evening, Dr. Ball made the offer of a p,ound box of chocolates to be awarded as the prize for the best news story clipped and handed in the day before the meeting. All students interested in journalism are invited to the meetings and eligible to compete for the prize. A few paragraphs from Mr. Etchi son's talk reveal information acquired during a lifetime of experience in adver tising. Some of them follow. "Courtship is but an advertisement, and it is a shame that truth is not used as much there as in other forms of ad vertising. A woman advertises herself, not as she really is, but as cosmetics and beauty parlors can alter her; a man ad vertises himself, not as he is every day. but as a Beau Brummel. Clever Ads Do Not Pay "It is not the clever ad that gets across. The clever ad amuses, but it is the honest advertisement which bring re sults. An advertisement is a commer cial news story, and as such should be accurate, true, and honest. "The advertising business is no game. In the days of the ballyhoo, of the free lunch, and of the patent medicine it was. Howvever, in the patent medicine end alone, millions of dollars a year are turned dowvn by reputable newspapers be cause such advertising is not honest. "The object of an advertisement is to create a desire, not to supp)ly a de mandl. The function of a good adver tising man is to find the defect in the average and remedy it in your par ticular commodity,-aind then advertise it. Ideas, not sensations, count in news paper advertising. Opportunities of County Newspaper "Many peop)le have said that the field of the county newspaper is dead. The field is not dead, but, unfortunately, most of the papers in the field are dead. A county newspaper should not attempt to compete with the city daily. It has a prime function which the city daily, no mater how large and influen tial, cannot fill. The county newspaper, with intellegent and painstaking effort can be madec essential and desired in every rural home. "A county newspaper can be operated by a hard working editor with business ability so that it will pay as large a profit as a high position on one of the big dailies. An ambitious and hard working man or woman who is willing to take his or her share in the upbuild ing of the community can make from $4000 to $5000 a year from a county newspaper," he concluded. It is remarkable that when either side in a coal strike gets what it wants. the public gets it in the neck.
