This change is made in a desire to keep the front
page as nearly free from advertising as possible.
papers refuse to take advertising for the
front page at any price; but aa there are times when
advertisers are very desirous of getting on the front
pap, the Brand has decided to make the price higher,
and put those who are willing to pay for the privilege
on the front page.

Year Watch Meeting
The rein and subsequent mud in
the place where the walks ought to
bo, interfered with the attendance
at the watch meeting, Friday even-
ing, but those wh > did attend report
•a most excellent meeting.
Reverends Joe Owen, J. R. Hen-
son and R. E. L. Farmer, each,gave
interesting sermonettes.
During the several intermissions,
a get-acquainted committee, consist-
ing of everyone present, very effici-
ently discharged its office. Old
friendships were renewed, new ones
formed and the feeling of good fel-
lowship which makes the whole
world kin, shed a halo over the
meeting thet will not soon be for-
gotten.
At midnight, the town was awak
ened by the ringing of the bells, be-
neath whose joyful notes of glad
welcome to the New Year, could be
heard a dainor cadence of farewell
to the old.
Such a meeting does not die with
the pawing of the day, but lives
eternal in clearer conceptions of' lri lr unusual Himwfiiii
life's meaning.
IS OUR CLIMATE CHAHGIMG7
Not at All j It's About tho Itm Now
M It Wo* A900 Aao.
The question of the constancy of tho
climate must be dlacuaaed for three
different time Intervals— Ural, ha* the
climate remained constant during the
recent pact, say the laat hundred
yean; secondly, haa tho climate re-
mained constant during the historic
times, say the last 7,000 years; third-
ly, haa the climate remained constant
during recent geologic ages, say the
laat 10,000.000 years?
There are many stations where me-
teorological observations have been
made for more than a hundred years—
In fact, a few records cover more than
806 years. Based upon these observa-
tions, tho statement ran confldently be
made that the climate la essentially
the same now as It waa many years or
oven a hundred years ago. This is
largely contrary to impular belief. It
means that, taking one year with an-
other. the snowfall Is just as large now
as then. It means that aletghlug lasts
Just as long now as then. It menus matism has developed, thus making
that the winters are no milder now ^ bard (or bim to regain much
than then. It means that the sum- j gtre__tu
iners nre no hotter now than then. ®

Publication Day Changed
Beginning with thia issue, the publication day of
the Brand will be changed from froan Friday to Thurs-
day.
This change is made for what seems to he a food
reason. First, it enables the paper to reach all sub-
scribers in tiaae lor Saturday's mail; Second, it (peas
sdvertisers a better opportunity to advertiee Saturday
sales the same week.
Country correspondents please take notice that their
items must be here Wednesday. Ail announcements
should be in not later than Wednesday noon, and ad-
vertisers should get their copy in aa much earlier in
the week aa possible.
