The Time
To advertise. If business is 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.

Democratic Club Meeting at Hotel
Phoenix Postpones Nom
inations
The regular meeting of tin*
Democratic club of Yaldez and
Reservation precincts at the Ho
tel Phoenix last night was fairly
well attended. There were sev
eral new members present and the
minutes of past meetings were
read for their information.
The question of nominating del
egates to be voted upon at the pri
mary to be held February 24 was
discussed. Many of those present
wished lo proceed with the selec
tion of a ticket, but a motion of
fered by Paul d'Hiery prevailed to
postpone the nomination of dele
gates until Thursday evening.
The chair urged the members
of the club to endeavor lo secure
us large attendance as possible
at the meeting and 1o carefully
consider the" men whose names
they placed in nomination.
ine question or nuances was
also discussed, and the executive
committee were instructed to re
solve itself into a ways and means
committee to raise funds for inci
dental expenses of the club.
The fact that some of those
present were members of both
Democratic clubs of Valdcz was
brought to the attention of the
meeting. The president stated
there might be a number of clubs
by reason of a difference of opin
ion among some of the members
of the party but there could be
but one Democratic party and all
were no doubt working for its best
interests. He was in favor of al
lowing all who would subscribe
to the principles of the club be
coming members.
Notloe to Democrats.
No I ice is hereby given that a
special meeting of the Democrat
ic club of Valdcz and Reservation
precincts will be held at 7:30 p.
m.( Thursday,. Fob. 22, 1012, in

pose of nominating delegates for
