GRANDFATHER'S CLOCK IS HERE

Mr. and Mrs. Grant Holt are happy
over the arrival of the big upright
clock with brass works and heavy
weights to furnish the power by
dangling at the ends of chains. This
old clock was purchased by Mr., Hollis
grandfather in 1912 when Mr.. Hollis
father was lad of six years. He
grew up and after the death of his
father he used the clio k for third
of a century. Now it has arrived
from Marriette, Ohio, and keeps per-
feet time, the old pendulum swinging
its three foot of length to the tune
of the metric system, the yard-long
pendulum being basis adopted by
Napoleon scientists in determining
measure of things in case some
calamity should destroy the meas
ures and compel them to begin over
again.
The Holt family are justly proud
of grandfather's clock.
