us in the early part the winter Nor this preju
dice unfounded but rests upon admitted facts per-
tanning to the effect Of such large, exciting meetings
long sustained upon the organized activities of the

the knowledge of its editors and publishers to adver
tse 'good watches for only So each; warranted for
| one year" when they must know that watch that
would keep time for week could not be sold tor any
