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. '

"1 guess I won't bo nblo to skato

he was being lifted from his position
under tho car. Even tho sight of his
shoes dangling from tho ends of tho
crushed limbs failed to dismay him.
The boy Is tho only child lu tho

by his father ou an errand to tho
grocery storo just across tho street.
Laughingly ho ran from tho houso
nnd Into Eighteenth streot, directly
In front of a northbound car. Tho

CITY LIFE.
A fat little pollywog, raised In a bog,
Set out from his home on a city
ward sail.
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! '
Now lost, with no rudder, "wog"
stuck in tho mud
And found that somo feet ho had
61UIVU III UIU IW&IIL, Jj, v I
And where ho was black, ho' was1
turning quite green
Tho pollywog gazed at himself
with delight!
.But now a great rattlesnake struck
nr, its prey:
The pollywog jumped with his
funny new feet
And landed quite safe on tho top
of a pad
That rocked In the lilies a very
fine seat!
"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!
"Alas!" moaned the pollywog, bleed
ing and torn,
His breath ebbing fast In the swirl
and tho swish,
' 'Tis better to be just a plain polly
wog Than food for tho sharks in the
craw of a fish!"
