A Philadelphia paper says: "Within
the past few years the utility of the
Weather Bureau has increased to
wonderful extent. 1t has been well
known that mariners consult the
weather predictions before setting out
to sea, and farmers and gardeners keep
a sharp lookout for warnings of frost
sent out by the weather officials, but
comparatively few outsiders know that
merchants consult the weather man
before inserting advertisements or ar
ranging their windows in seasons when
rapid changes are likely to occur. If
the weather man prOphesies a cold wave
store windows are filled with overcoats,
woOlen underwear and ear muffs, and
if q hot wave is scheduled, these give
place to straw hats, neglige shirts and
light dress goods. If rain is coming,
a great drive in umbrellas and gum
shoes is advertised, with a full line of
mackintOshes, and naturally enough
merchants who thus consult the
weather man are given credit for en-
terprise and foresight.

by a certain party

for an eastern firm to

from prices he has

goods.
Some very few arti-

this loss must be
made up on some
thing. He is charging
more for some goods
than you can buy for
