The
Time
To advertise. If business id quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try it.

Thai there is a si range caprice

who lake interest in such matters.
Whether this unusual occurrence
is due to tin? change in the course
of the Japan current, or some
other aquatic influence of great
power, cannot he determined with
out further knowledge. In sup
port of the theory of a phenomena
is the erratic action of tin* tides,
^vhich are oul of harmony with
their usual order. This is the nip
tide period, the moon being in I lie
quarter. There should he, ac

Yesterday, and for several days
prior, the tide has risen as high
and fallen as low as during the
period of full tide, when the
moon is full, and there should be
the greatest variance between ebb
and How.
