THE TIME TO ADVERTISE

There's nothing on earth SO myster-

prime. first. last and all-the-timc object
Of an advertisement is To draw custom.

signed for any other purpose. So the
merchant waits til the busy season
comes, and his store is so full Of full OF
custom be- can't get his hat OF. aud then
he PUSHES 70 the printer and goes In for
advertising. When the duh season gets
along and there is no trade, and he
wants TO sell his goods so bad he can't
pay his rent. he stops advertising. That
Is. some OF them do; but occasionally "A
levc-neadcd merchant does more Of IL

A GREAT many people in both parties
are beginning to favor the the plan of
electing L. :. Senators by direct vote of
the people. The principal reason adj
vanced at thus time is that the state leg
islature could employ their time more
probably in other ways than in wrangl-
ing over the election Of a senator. With
all due respect TO our Idaho law makers
we believe that they would be- rendering
better service To the people OF the state
If they would got together and unite on
some one for senator aud have done
with it and then devote part Of their
time TO wrestling with the irrigation.

people of this state are more Interested
in the passage Of good irrigation law
than they are in the election Of a sena-
tor, because IL effects their pocketbooks
