1t is generally believed, by the simple

the most ancient of all the civilized arts.
Indeed, the first advertisement was prob
ably coeval with the first man who had
something to dispose Of, or with the
first woman who wanted something she

that the serpent tempted Eve to partake

as it may, the uses of advertisement
were known at a very early date to the

After the war he re-entered the regu-

In 1868, the board Of church extension

For Is years he travelled through the

Red Lake River at Crookston Higher Than
Ever Known.
CRooKsToN, Mimi, May 20.-The
Red Lake River is higher at this point
than it has been within the memory Of
man. A hundred families have been
compelled to vacate their homes in this
city. Two or three wagon bridges in
the city are in imminent danger Of be-
ing carried away. Two hundred men
are employed in dyking the river in
Chase's addition, and the work is bieng
pushed as rapidly as possible in the
hope that the water may be kept from
overlooking that portion of the city.
The effect Of the rainfall upon the crop
prospects is disastrous in the extreme.
The prospects of further wheat seeding
are very poor. as the country is in many
directions a boundless lake.
