To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by outting
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.

NATIVE SONS
AND DAUGHTERS
Arotio Brotherhood Will Take
New Organization Under
Its Wing
Fairbanks, Feb. 8.—Thft plans
and desires of the youthful or
ganizers of the Native Sons and
Daughters of the (ioblen North
were last evening outlined in the
members of the Arelic Brother
hood, with the result thai the lo
cal camp of the old-time order
officially decided to take I lie in
fant society under its protecting
wing and further its growth
throughout the northland wher
ever there is an established camp
of I Ik* Brotherhood.
The fraternity will be known as
the "Native Sons and Daughters
of the Golden North" and all
children born in Alaska will be
eligible to membership.
Max Kollin appeared before the
meeting and explained the objects
of the new order, which, in a way,
are allied with those of the Broth
erhood, and his request that the
native-born children of Alaska
and the Yukon be encouraged in
the organization of their lodge
was received enthusiastically. The
recorder of the local carup will
immediately communicate with
the other camps and enlis.t tljeir
co-operation, and it is hoped that
within a short time there will be
a chapter of natives wherever
there are a sufficient number of
home-grown children to form a
lodge.
