THE TIME TO ADVERTISE.

Manly LARRY kOOu UuoAllCoS IiiCu IAdVC IIl0 AOCd
that the most important and most profitable time
to advertise is when there is plenty Of money in
the community and plenty of trade to be obtained.
OF course greater actual results are obtained at
such times, but the logic of advertising demon
strates that it is needed when money is scarce,
trade the dull and competition for what trade
there is, is fercest.
Whenever everything is going finely and bust
ness booming house that advertises not at all
may possibly get plenty Of business, but it is
when business is dull that the wise advertiser
puts forth his greatest efforts. When the general
volume of trade is smallest the really scientific ad-
vertiser gets busy to keep his trade up to its
usual volume in spite of dull markets and lessen
ed demand.
One can exert little or no effort in swift wat
er, but when stagnant water is reached he must
swim vigorously to make Roadway. This figure
IF speech fits the advertising phase of mans
business exactly.

Copper Had a Heart.

Here is a potato theft which
showed the cop to be a real humani-
tartan: A little, frail, white-haired
old woman, her bent shoulders COW
cred with a small shawl, came down
an Eastside street toward the corner
grocery store. In front Of the store
she stopped and glanced hastily
around. Her trembling old hands
came out from under the shawl, seized
two or three potatoes on the top of a
basket and were drawn back under
the shawl again. For second she
stood there, her thin lips moving as if
in prayer, then she went on. Not ten
feet away stood big patrolman with
his back turned resOlutely toward the
store and his gaze fixed across the
street. The storekeeper was singular
ly unobserving. AS soon as the little
old woman had gone the big cop
turned to the storekeeper and re-
marked: "She's fixed for the day,
eh?'' Eyes, all right for today 7"
laughed back the storekeeper.-New
