BULLA BACK FROM MEETING
James Bulla, preeldrnt of the Stale
Sanitary board, ssys that Nebraska
action In taking drastic measures against
the foot and mouth disease was one of
the big questions at the meeting of the
National Sanitary association at Chicago
last week. Dr. U C. Klgln of Nebraska
was one of ths main figure on the floor
of the convention, according to Bulla.
Bulla's own move for ce-operative traf
fic agreements In the movement ot stock
between the different state turned out
to be a big subject, and the matter will
have the endorsement of the national
body, he said. Bulla' Idea is that the
rules tor moving live stock should be the
same in all the states ot the union, thus
eliminating the danger of transferring In
fected live stork.

Refusal of certain South Omaha office
holder to make a second contribution
to th alleged "pot" that Is to beat tha
Omaha consolidation bill Is said to be
the latest development In the antl ranka
The reason for the alleged refuse! to
contribute Is said to have been a desire
to know where the "pot" was going.
There are persistent rumors of large
sums of money raised In South Omaha
to defeat consolidation. There are also
wide assertions that Governor Morehead's
assistance haa been obtained on the side
ot the ontle. If the latter prove true,
those favoring the bill say. it can be
charged up to the Interests that have
been denying any hand In the game.
There I a growing suspicion that the

picion I buttressed by the fact that men
connected with the yard company as

probably be beaten In the house." Mayor
Hoctor Is quoted a having retired from
the actice work at Lincoln In favor of
City Attorney Henry C. Murphy, who
would stay on the ground, according to
the mayor.
One of tho- chink through which some
of the officeholder have shown their
handa Is their refusal to concur In tha
emergency clause In case the bill get a
majority on th house vote. These men
Insist that they will hold office until
July. The contractor also Insist that
they can get many contract between

The Art of
Presentation
Thia is a high-sounding
title. We have to stand for
a great deal of high-sounding
rhetoric flapdoodle in
the name of Advertising.
But, after all, the principles
that underlie successful ad
vertising are very simple.
The "art of presentation" in
Advertising is the applica
tion of literature to sales
manship. Advertising is too
often m er c 'literatnre."
Tli is is because Advertising
has drawn copy-writers
largely from the ranks of the
4 'literary fellows." The av
erage salesman cannot write
a good advertisement, and
the average literary fellow
cannot write a good adver
tisement because he is not a
salesman.
It is one thing to give in
formation about a salable
commodity, and quite anoth
er thing to create a desire
for it. It is one thing to cre
ate a desire for an article,
and quite another thing to
create a demand for it. I

diction, describing the Vic
trola and keep on writing
advertisements without ever
inoculating a human being
with a desire to possess one.
The reader would say to
himself "that Victrola must
be a wonderful invention"
but the idea of possessing
the instrument is to the
reader a remote possibility
something for the other
person. That is because the
man who wrote the adver
tisement is not a salesman.
Now, suppose we put a lit
tle salesmanship into the ad
vertisement, taking advan
tage of the popular craze for
dancing. Let us show iiow
easy it is to reproduce the
new dance music in all its
rhythimic beauty in the
home. Through picture and
clever phrasing it gradually
inoculates the young lady of
the household with a desire
to possess a Victrola. It con
veys a new idea of the Vic
trola and creates in the
young lady's mind a new
want. The desire that has
been created in her brain
becomes a demand and
this demand eventuates in a
purchase.
Now, this line of appeal
will not do for all house
