MAKE HAY WHILE The SUN
SHINES" AND REAP REWARD
The Merchant Who Dreams Away His
Time Can't Expect TownsPeoPle
to P%atronize Him.

Make hay while the sun shines is
an adage which has stood the siege OF
time and today is just as forceful as
when il first was uttered
The moral conveyed is well adapted
to the storekeeper. who instead of
making hay while the sun shines sits
around dejectedly dreaming of good
times to come. while gradually his few
customers are enticed from him by a
more progressive merchant or. worse
Of all. by alluring offers of the mail
order houses.
Are you aware. Mr.. Merchant. that
you can make things Just as attractive
to your townspeople as the catalogue
houses with a little judicious pushing?
II you expect TO keep your business
alive you must do everything within
reason to please customers and go out
of your way IL necessary to get them
something they want that you might
not have in stock. Then, too. IL you
add new things to your stock you
should not wait until buyers come into
your store before apprising them Of
what you have to sell. Do you imag-
ine the mail order concerns would do
that? No. II they did you wouldn't
have anything to fear. because their
efforts would be in vain
They use methods today that they
adopted years ago., which is ample
proof that they have proved result
bringers. They advertise for one thing,
and advertising is open to every mer-
chant An advertisement In the local
paper coupled with a townsman's name
has a certain ring OF sincerity and
truth which is not always found in the
high sounding mail order ad.
Keep up with the procession Don't
dream and NOPE. Be up and doing.
Use your wits and brains. II you find
things going too fast for you hire a
bright clerk or think OF the n al
ready with you. Give him a chance.
II you show progress your town win

ICE FROM GLACIERS

Reports from the interior coastal belt
of Alaska say that the residents of the
towns there have been compelled to
get their summer ice supply largely
from the glaciers. This condition was
due to the yagaries Of the Japan cur
rent, which last winter took a sheer
toward the coast Of Alaska and re-
manned there all winter, with the re-
suit that the crop Of ice from the local
streams. rivers and lakes was a fail
ure. The ice that is being used and
which is averting a famine Is being
taken from Miles glacier. a live glacier
that is, 1t is constantly In motion
There are a number of dead" or mo-
tionless glaciers along the route. gla-
ciers that have been dead for millions
Of for that reason there is a
a prejudice against utilizing their

bred again Dec. IT. 1908, just n year
from date OF calving for the record.
Notwithstanding she carried her calf
the full nine months and was bred
twice during the year of her test, she
made a record Of 11,570.1 pounds OF
milk and 572.67 pounds Of butter fat.
This in itself showed her to be not
only a record maker. but a producer.
and marked her as a COW who would
be heard from later as a record break

that may yet surpass her.
This practice of breeding regularly
