The policy of the Coos Hay Tinn's will be Itepublican in politics, with 4ho Independence of which President licosovelt is the leading exponent. Address All Communications to COOS HAY DAILY TIMES Mnrsliiicld Oregon LESSON FOR ADVERTISERS As an Instance of the value of newspaper advertising to Increase or -forco'trade, the following fact3 are remarkable. During December the orders received by the Douglas Boot and Shoe company, of Brockton JVlass., fell off in consequence of the business depression following the panic The advertising manager of hnt flarge concern mentioned the matter to Governor Douglas, and ask- cl ills advice, whether under the cir cumstances they should place the usj ual .amount of advertising during the MianUis of January and February wldeh are usually the slowest months n the year In the. shoo business. The governor at once ordered an Increase of 30 per cent in the amount appro priated for advertising, declaring that euch an Increase would help to overcome the unfavorable business outlook. There was considerable skep ticism about the result amongst the principal owners of tho Douglas com pany. Hut the result showed almost ar. immediate improvement In busi ness which is now averaging more than last year during those usually dull months, Thus tho business sagacity of Gov ernor Douglas has overcome tho hard times, and his optimism has proven and antidoto to tho panic. Tho advertising manager of Gover nor Douglas explains tho phenome non of increased sales, when by all tho rules of business there should 3iave been a decrease, as entirely pro duced by tho Increased advertising. Other advertisers of shoes were draw ing In their horns nnd many of their former customers wore induced to patronize tho Douglas Shoe because at was more than over brought to their jiotlce. K seems that persistent advertis ing pays, for last year nearly S000 newspapers carried tho Douglas ad vertisement, and tho profits of the business were larger than ever. The business managers of newspapers sflimtltl point out those facts to those who decrease or decline to advertise at all when business Is dropping and show I hem that persistent ndvertib 5ng pays and that Increased advertis ing pays bettor and that tho nows jrmper Is the host adWiMsing medium.

GET HERRING BT BUCKETFUL Big Run of Fish Enters Coos Bay and Make's Fishing Easy at North Bend. Ono of tho largest runs of herring that has ever been seen on Coos Bay came in last night and this morning the water front of North Bend was thronged with men, women and chil dren who were catching the fish by the bucketful. Some fine, large ones were being caught, the majority be ing from six to eight inches long. No trouble was encountered in get ting lots of the fish as tho high tide washed them along the saw logs where they were left by the receding waters. The fish are said to be In flue condition and are excellent eating. In the past, thousands of herring have often been found dead on tho strands after the tide had gone out but it has been seldom that has been possible to pick them while they arej still alive Hko was being done at North Bend today.

A big city mudturtle, passing en route, Grabbed hold of the pollywog's littlo black tail! "Ho! Ho!" said tho pollywog: "take it along! 'T was loose as tho dickens and much in my way; I'm not to be scared from tho city by that, Because I expect to bo famous some day!" Just then a huge dragon fly, winging along, Collided head-first with the polly wog's eye And blasting the cornea's sight, bel lowed forth: "Turn out to the right on the street passing by!" A kingfisher, darting around in tho air, Espied the poor pollywog there in tho muck And noting his eye was quite out on that side, , Just gave him a peck in the head. for good luck!

"Ho! Ho!" cried tho pollywog, "look at mo now! I'm changing myself to a frog, I declare!" Just then a huge pickerel sprang from tho stream And caught Mr. Frog as he leaped in tho air!
