low about your Watch—
Has it been running properly?
Are you aware that in the course of one year the
balance wheel of your watch makes 157,080,000 revo-
lutions,- Think of it. In time the oil gums, produces
friction and wears the delicate bearings, destroying the
high finish and perfect fit, thus ruining a perfect time
piece, then, when it is cleaned the jeweler is often
blamed vi hen your watch does not keep accurate time,
when you are to blame yourself, An ordinary machine
is oiled once a day, why not your watch once a year?
Let me examine it. An honest opinion from me will
cost you nothing.

They are hailing this achievement as

that nine and a half billions is a pret-

'Whole show. There is sturdy old
John Bull, for instance. John got in-
to the fighting game right at the drop
of the hat, put an unheard of number
of )nen into the field, swept the Ger-
mans from the high seas, supplied his
Allies with foodstuffs, munitions and
money—and kept this up for three
years while Uncle Sam Hesitated, and
while considering whether it was "to

out of war orders, Great Britain,

RE 'THE PRICE OF SILK
Messrs. Belding Paul Oorticelli, Limited
have written us as follows:
DEAR SIRS:
Conditions over which we have no control are steadily forcing
up price of our new materials. -
Raw silk has now reached a point five times what it was pre-
war. United States exchange, which we have to pay on nearly all our
raw materials, has averaged recently over 16 per cent. Labour costs
are increasing and working hours shorter.
We are doing our utmost to produce goods to keep your wants
supplied, but, with the enormous demand for goods, we trusi- you
will be lenient with us, if we are not able to deliver promptly.
We appreciate your business and are doing all we can to hold
your good -will. We are,
Very Yours Truly,
BELDING PAUL CORTICELLI LIMITED
Montreal, March 15th, 1920
The high price of silk will not affect our customers as long as
our present stock lasts. We would, however, advise early buying.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Clinton, Ont., Mar. 9 1920.
To the Editor News -Record,
Dear Sir: I have read Colonel
Combe's and Mr. Chant's address to
the council, asking to submit a by-
law to the people, asking permission
to raise $10,000 for the erection of
a monument in front of the post
office in memoir of the soldiers who
have fallen in battle. Now I should
like to know, would it not be of
more benefit to our town, to buy
the Hodgens' Block and have a mem-
orial room in the centre oa the build-
ing, so that those people whose
husbands or sons had fallen in battle,
could take their friends to see it, as
it would bring no grief to them
while walking through the town, the
same as if it were set before their
eyes. I feel if you saav the mon-
ument in Mitchell, you would 'net
wish the same in aur Lown, but with
the purchase of the Hodgen's Block,
I feel that a rest room and 'lava-
tories would be a great convenience
to our town. I am confident the
farmers would contribute to the
sane for convenience of their Wives.
Yours Truly,
A Returned Soldier.

To the Editor of The News -Record
Dear Sir: Through the cohunes
of your welcome andimportant pap-
er iast week we received a rather
uncontplimentry open letter from. the
Varna Branch of the U. F. 0.
In answer to the same I wieh to say
that I was terribly surprised and
very sorry to find so many of my
neighbors and U. F. 0. members
were apparently so anxious to see
their, names in. print, that they al-
lowed them to code out in connection
with an article demanding a debate
at my expense, also accusing me of
making a ' certain statement
concerning the U. F. 0. at the 13.
of A. sweeting in Varna held in Jan-
uary which ,however, they admit was
a report. The gentlemene names giv-
en in open letter were: John Rath -
well, Pres-, Alex. McConnel, Vice,
Frank Welch, Sec., Art Keys, Mort
Elliott Reeve, Alex. Mitchell, John
Pepper, If they are so anxions to
snake it public, out of respect for
1 mse 4 and institution
tl a lye, a tc the , to
which they belong, methinks is would
be in order Tor them to call again
on their learned reporter, and, bow-
ing at his feet, humbly ask for a
correct statement of what, was said
and the connection in which it was
placed and thk intinnation why.
