The city would be interested only for a small amount, namely, one-fourth of I lie expense of paving the alley, which would be a small sum com pared with the utility of Hie im provement. A six-inch concrete pavement would stand the traffic and is as heavy as is used on the alleys of other cities, and would be cheaper Ibau brick. This would cost, approximately, about l..r0 per sipiarc yard, and if the alley for each block figures about 300 square yards, the city's portion of one-fourlh of a block would not break the city up. Should this work be done, the distance for foot passengers from the court house to the postoffice and from Sixth street would be reduced about one-half, ...... ., , , And while the cily is about it a few blocks of the same sort of pavement sixteen or twenty feel j wide, along Washington avenue, would greatly facilitate trallie to I the M. 1'. station during the! s'pring and fall rainy season,: when, at times, the mud is hub; deep along Ibis highway. j i i'io'i' " Lose Little Babe; oi.

JlfflfjEML TRADE A Judicious Amount of Advertis ing Goes a Long Way Toward Securing It. In the cycle of retail trade, now is (he time when people expect special inducements. They read in the big metropolitan papers about offers made in order to clear the shelves for spring. They look to the home merchant to do the same thing. The home merchant is an in dependent sort of fellow, who does not care slavishly to imitate his great metropolitan rival. Still it is true in general that the home merchant can no more afford lo carry over a storefull of unseas onable goods than I he big depart ment store. As the cumulative re sult of past advertising, a public impression exists that February is an inexpensive lime to buy goods. The alert business man seizes this feeling and works it for all it is worth. Fader Ibis stale of public opinion, a judicious amount of ad vertising goes a long way. The idea of cutting prices in February seems so reasonable that people will Hock to your slore if you give them half a chance. After Ihey gel lliere they will be interested, not merely in (he goods on which you advertise a cut, but on staple lines that sell all the year around and do not have to be marked down lo find customers.
