Is Your Watch ,Sick?
Didn't know watches got sick? Well, they do.
The balance wheel of a healthy watch makes
18,000 vibrations every hour. But it must be
healthy to do this.
Dirt in your watch make it sick. It loses energy
and so loses time.
I AM THE WATCH DOCTOR
If your watch is not fully up to its work, bring it
to me. It may only need the fraction of a drop
of oil, but it must have that or become disabled.
A little speck of dirt in a pinch will make it very
Eick.
BRING IT TO ME. I CAN CURE IT.

Wants to Be in Class 1;
First Case in County
Herbert Walton is the first
man in Gilliam county to ask for
a transfer from a deferred classi

Another Grain Fire in
Wheeler County
A stack of barley on the Lee
Butler runch just over the line in
Wheeler county in what is known
as Greasewood was totally de
stroyed by fire Saturday night
about 11:30 o'clock. The stack
was 50 feet long by 16 wide and
probably 12 high and was all the
grain just cut from 40 acres on
that ranch. Sheriffs Kelsay and
Lillie and the Military Police ar
rived at the scene in a short
time and atter working together
on the case arrested Herman
Strese on the charge of having
set the fire. Strese was taken
to Fossil by Sheriff Kelsay and
locked up. He was given a hear
ing Monday and bound over to
apj.ear before the next session
of the grand jury under bonds
of $1000. The sheriffs of these
counties and the police are work

Business Man Says Ad
Is Different but Good
A Condon business man stop
ped the Globe man on the street
and said: "Say, that ad you
wrote for me is a good deal dif
ferent from any I ever had be
fore but it brought results for it
brought me business from eight
or ten people that I know of. It's
all right." This should, be en
couraging to local people as Well
as to the Globe man for it is an
other good illustration of the
fact that Globe ads get results.
