A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
JOBPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
job Printing did not amount 10
much, so far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly we'll
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today 1t is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see piece of Job print
ing crowded and the type iammed
too close together, with dirty-looking
Ink and finger marks smeared over
it, on low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak well for the firm which uses it.
In fact, you don't have the same
opinion of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the best
grade Of paper.
The quality of stationery reflects
the standing of ones business. It's
therefore duty you owe to yourself
to have good printing.

an ODD PHENOMENON.

showers OF Rnin can Come From "a
ClOudlesS sky.
1t appears that rain en- fan from
a clOudleSs sky. This is true Of a thin
drizzle which falls in France. known
as ''serein." AS the atmosphere looks
quite clear when it falls. the probable
ity is all in favor OF the moisture hav-
ing been brought by the wind ut
great elevation. In the island Of Maui
ritius the phenomenon is 10y no means
uncommon during the prevalence of
southeast winds, slight showers tall
ing in clOudless evenings when the
stars are shining brightly There the
rain is thought 10 be due TO invisible
vapor in the upper reaches OF the at
mosphere, being condensed 1T once and
falling in drops without passing
through the intermediate stage OF
cloud. Ross said that in the south At
lanuc il rained on one occasion for
upward OF an hour while the sky was
altogether free from clouds. SAYS Il
GenoeSe naturalist, The night was
clear the stars were shining with
their accustomed brilliancy. when a
shower or rain, consisting OF large
hkewarm drops. fell during six min
utes upon the town." y similar view
was once observed at Constantine. in
Algeria, about noon. the sky being all
the time splendid blue. Some be-
lieve that these showers are the result
or particles Of ice formed in the high
er regions melting and falling. while
others attribute them 10 currents of
warm and cold air travelling in Oppo-
site directions. with the result that
the latter condenses some Of the mois-
ture in the former and causes il TO
