fo r this particular period is o f
vastly more interest to a large
portion o f our population than
« r e the days that have flown.
And contrary to popular opinion
it is not entirely a one sided

Put out the bait—don’ t hurry

Remember thereisa whole year

and be ready for an emergency.
It is said o f a young professor
that, after vainly trying to ex
plain some scientific theory to
his fair inam orata, said: "The
question is difficult, and I don’t
see what I can do to make it
plainer." "Suppose you pop it?"
whispered the blushing damsel.
Now this is what would be
called diplom acy and there is
nothing like it. Do yonr duty and
the chances are even that before
the roaes come again his refrain
will be something like the follow
ing:
"O ly hand me down my spike-tail coat

M ai« Quartet Saturday N ight
Being aware of the fact that

Claude C. Downing, second bass;
and Charles B. Glass, tenor,

high class entertainment and
have been well received a t all
points. Here follow s some com

“ The concert given last Friday

Quartet was one. of the most en
joyable aflilirs o f the kind given

"The young men com posing the

Unless the delicato, exactly adjusted
parts o f a watch are kept clean and
lubricated, they are certain to become
warn to e greater or lea* extent and
the movement will surety lose its ac
curacy. Tiny particles o f g rit are
bound to work into tbe best protected
movement; the oil will become gummed
in time and these combined will serve
to rat and grind the pivot* and esose
friction.
Every watch should be thoroughly
cleaned and oiled at least once in eigh
teen months, and if yours has not
been cleaned within that time, it should
h a w immediate attention.
W e w illv clean youlr watch precisely
as it would be don* in the best watch
factories—take the movement entirely
apart, clean each wheel, cog and pivot
separately, assemble and regulate it—
and when you get it beck you may
depend upon It being in "p erfect
sh ap e."
