Don't expect an advertisement
to bear fruit in one night. You can't
eat enough in q week to last year,
and we don't believe you can ad-
vertise on that plan either. People
who advertise only once in six months
forget that most folks cannot re-
member anything longer than about
one month. II You can arouse
curiosity by an advertisement it is q
great point gained. The fair sex
don't hold all the curiosity In the
world. Quitting advertising in dull
times is like tearing out dam be-
cause the water is low.

gone to Denton, Md. to-day to put in

tion. This enterprising. firm have

their line, on remarkably favorable
terms to the farmers. They have
full stock Of everything in the agri-
cultural line and are ever ready to
serve their customers.
