a TIME WHEN MONEY GAN BE
3 SAVED #Bss I5s 5 tls 3s III III

|, The time Of wear has come when
There are bargains il, the stores on
every hand. Merchants simply
have to turn their stock into cash.
|If they didn't they would have no
room to show goods, and they would
have to y borrow money at high
rates Of interest. Consequently
they Will sell at low rates.
This is particularly true in many
lines this year on account of the
mild winter. 1t takes cold weather
to sell winter goods. A great many
people get along on their old clothes
as long as the weather is mild.
And there are other reasons for
selling cheap than those nameu
above. On any kind Of goods where
styles change, and that includes
about everything nowadays. a mer-
chant would rather take low price
Today than carry them to next sea
son and find that on account of
some whim in fashion they, are out
lawed. .
The columns of this newspaper
are a directory of bargains. The
merchants who have offerings to
make that you can't afford to ignore
are telling the public through these
advertisements about the sacrifices
they are making. Time spent in
studying their offerings will pay for
itself a hundred fold in making Sc
iections. s,.@....s# ),
The habit of reading the newspa-
per advertising is so universal that
few people need to be urged to note
what the merchants are saying
about their stocks. Here and there
is a merchant who has not realized
how hopeless a process it is to clean
out an old stock without the help of
the newspaper. .a.!
Nothing comes nowadays unless
sou get out and go after. it. The
public are listening, but it expects
the merchant to take the initiative.
A dealer who does not advertise is
looked at as not having enterprise
enough to protect the interest Of
the public, and to give them goods
at bottom values.

Candlemas Day Traditions.

Candlemas Day February p has
from time .immemorial been the
center of quaint superstitions. AS
all the old people will tell you.
you must have. on Candlemas day,
Half your wood and half your hay"
Actually the drain on the wood
pile is much more than half over
Feb. 2. The sun is high. Even in
snowy countries the drifts begin to
honeycomb at noon. And as for
the hay, in less than five months the
groaning loads of clover will be tug
ging across the barn floor.
Perhaps one could explain this
CID division Of time by I. fl ct,ns
that the cautious country-mrn Of
yore were never quite satisfied I'm
less they carried a margin Of sup
plies over until the next year. They
urged on the boys and the hired
girls the necessity of prudent use Of
farm stores. If they could be made
10 believe that winter was only half
over when it was sever-twelfths
gone, it had it's effect on the daily
consumption of hearth and hay
NOW. There was touch Of Old
time country prudence, if not par
simony, in this ancient saw.
The quaint ground hog supersti-
ton is attributed to the German
folk lore concerning the badger,
who peeps out of his hole. Candle
mas day, and if he finds snow he
walks abroad, while if he sees the
sun he draws back into his hole
IF Candlemas day, be- fair and
bright,
Winter Shall have another flight;
If Candlemas day bring snow or rain
Winter is gone not to come again. y
is the English form of the same
idea. Thus the Candlemas signs
all seen, to go by contraries
They picture spring as tickle
jade, dousing her suitors with the
cold rains of tricksy March and Ap-
ril. They seem to embody print
tive philosophy of the contradic-
tons and disappointments Of exper-
fence and the ironies Of life.
