buy a saw. He saw the kind he
wanted and asked the price. 1t
was $1.65, the dealer said.
Good gracious, said the man.

'sThat's less than it cost me, "
said the dealer, ''but I'll sell it

"All right said the custom

The customer complied.
"Now 2 cents for postage and
5 cents for money order"

"Certainly, you have to send
a letter and a money order to a

The customer, inwardly raw

paid the nickel.
"Now 25 cents expressage-
"Well. I'll be--," he SAID,

A FEW REASONS WHY

FIRST-When subscribing for
a newspaper for the home, you
should be careful to get one that
is clean, heightened amt reliable.
The Sentinel is newspaper that
you can safely allow your wife,
sons and daughters to read-it is
q newspaper whose courage and
character you will respect. It
prints all the news that's fit to
print. The Sentinel is absolutely
independent in its editorial and
news policies. 1t always says
just what it thinks. 1t speaks
right out and prints the news
without fear or favor. Itcan al
ways be found lined up with the
men and measures that stand for
the things that are clear moral
and right. It led the fight in the
state of Tennessee against the
open saloon. 1t is consistent in
its temperance policy and carries
no whiskey or beer advertising.
Thousands of dollars of this char
acter of business has been refus-
ed by the The Sentinel during
the past four years. 1t opposes
, political graft and trickery i'll ev-
cry instance. The Sentinel is
democratic in principle but is
not hidebound to the point that
it can see no good in any eppos-
ing party. 1t believes in honest
elections and is opposed to polit-
: ical corruption in all its various
phases. The Sentinel does not
wear the yoke of any corporation
or set of politicians. 1t is indie
pendent first, last and all the
time and has the courage of it's
convictions. In the last Guber-
material Campaign The Sentin-
ell supported the fusion nominee
who happened to be a republican
for the reason it thought that
this candidate and the principles
of law enforcement and honest
elections for which he stood
made him the best man Tor the
high office Of Governor. 1t does
not hesitate to criticise public OF
fcials for wrong doing, be they
either democrats or republicans
SECOND-The year 1912 is
| Presidential year. The lines
upon which this great contest
will be fought are now being
/ drawn. The Sentinel is a mem
Der of the Associated Press, the
greatest news gathering associa-
ton in the world. Every sub
scriber of The Sentinel will be
kept fully informed regarding
the movements of all Presidential !
candidates. If you subscribe to
this paper, you are sure of get
ting an accurate and full report
of what all parties are doing. In
addition to carrying tho full day |
report of the Associated Press,
which news bureau keeps a cor
respondent in every important
city in the world. The Sentinel
has more than 100 correspond
ents scattered throughout the

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.--All OF the Pough-
keepsie crews are now engaged In fall
training. This Is the work that
coaches watch keenly so az 20 get a
line on material out for PAGES on varsity
eights and fours.
Cornell, as usual, was the first to begin
work outdoors. Coach Courtney had his
men on the water shortly after the COL
lege season opened. and by nov he has
obtained a pretty fair idea OF the kind
OF material available for the next years
Poughkeepsie crews
Coach Ward and his Quakers were not
far behind Cornell In beginning prellml-
nary work. The Pennsylvania crews have
progressed to such an extent that very
soon the veteran mentor will begin to
weed down his large squad OF candidates
and pick his crews The latest crew 70
take 10 the river was Columbia. Both
Wisconsin and Syracuse may be termed
the tardy ones, for these two colleges as
yet have done very little work in the
matter of preparing for next season.
Coaches Rice, Courtney and Ward all
believe that the best way to shape crew
IL to give the. candidates plenty of work
in the fall. And the only way to accom-
pllsh this satisfactorily Is to get the men
out AZ soon as possible. Gymnasium work
and the machines during the winter are
all very we'll in their way, but the only
way to test an oarsman's
ability is to put him in a boat and watch
him row A candidate oftentimes shows
fairly good form on the machines, but
falls when fried out in a real boat. He
must be a sweep-swinger to pull an oar
properly In the water. Coaches can often
toretell mans future worth by his fall
river work.
Five OF these are freshmen boats. two |
are dental. one architectural and three
from the upper classes OF the college de- |
Dartment. In the law school there are a |
number of whom have rowed on the
varsity crew, but they have failed 20

the lawyers would not be represented.

Big Rowing Regatta

two days to each association. Predic-
tions are made that such a regatta would
attract the largest and best rowing field
