Where to Get
A Good Watch

If you want a good watch, buy
it here. A watch needs the per
sonal adjustment to the owner that
only an expert jeweler can give a
watch.
A good watch runs differently for
different people. If you lean over
a great deal in your work, or jolt
over rough roads in a wagon or
move quickly etc your watch is
affected and needs to be regulated
by an expert watch man Tor few
days after you buy it.
A mail order house can't send
you a man to do that so you are
Just plain lucky if you get mail
order watch that keeps time.
We are watch inspectors for the
B. & o. railroad and naturally in a
position to give good service.
If your old watch needs atten-
ton or you need new one see us.

A Motor Turck Try Out.

The utility of the motor truck as
means of transporting freight
over the mountains was tested on
Wednesday, a large truck owned
by Glenn Bros. of Stanton being
employed to make the experiment.
The trial trip was made at the
instance of the gentlemen who are
J behind the move to establish a
truck-line between Staunton and
Monterey, and the truck being
similar in capacity and construc-
ton to the one the company Will
place on the line, the test was In
tended as a practical demonstration,
and Jail were pleased to find 1t
satisfactory.
The car is 80 hore power, Its
maximum speed being Is miles an
hour, and it started on the trial
trip at 6 A. NJ. "Wednesday norn-
ing, with about $500 pounds OF
freight for Monterey and McDowe |
merchants. 1t reached here at II:

stops. one at Mcdowell, where
something like half the freight was
delivered.
Those coming with the load were
Messrs. Splitter, Shultz, VanLear
and Glenn, and all were pleased and
satisfied with the test. OF course,
the solid condition of the roads
was in it's favor, and it literally
d" walked" up the mountains with
its heavy burden, clearing the wat
te-breaks with greater ease and less
lar than the cars of shorter build.
The big freighter was looked over
bv Montereyans during its
stay of and hour in town, and 1t
goes without saying that the mer-
chants were glad over the free de-
livery of the load of goods.
From all we could learn, the
success of the scheme is assured
and the rolling stock" will prob
ably be ordered in a few days.

Violent Assaults in Champagne
Region Saved Warsaw From
Germans.
ADMIT HEAVY LOSSES
War Office Explains Reason for
Puzz|ing Activity in Western
Theater of War.

PARIS. March 11.-By two weeks Of
violent attacks In the Champagne re-
sion. French troops have lifted the
German pressure upon the Russians de-
fsndins Poland. and have saved War
saw.
This war office claim was made today
In explaining the recent onslaughts
against the German positions in the
Champagne.
An official EYE witness statement
confirmed the claim made BY the Ger
man general staff yesterday, and cabled
from London. that the object OF the
vigorous offensive around Perthes.
which puzzled military critics. was the
relief Of the Russians who retired from
the Mazurian Lakes.
Losses Are Heavy.
The ''eye-witness'' denied Berlin
claims that the French had lost 45, 900
In the Champagne fighting. 1t is ad-
mitted that the French losses were
heavy, but the war office said they
werc small compared to the damage
inflicted upon the German troops and
the effect upon the campaign in far
away Poland.
The Germans have been compelled to
bring up heavy re-enforcements in the
Champagne district. They have ex-
pended huge quantities OF ammunition.
They have been unable to spare a s,n-
gle soldier for the Poland campaign,
and Won Hindenburg has begged in
vain for re-enforcements.> Meanwhile
hnN
checked the German advance, and are
pressing Won Hindenburg back upon his
own frontier.
Furthermore. the French have made
important gains in the Champagne re-
gion. particularly near Beausejour A
German fort which they captured In
this vicinity Is still held, despite un-
ending attacks by the enemy.

More Aliens Leave u. S.
Than Are Coming Here

For the first time in the history
OF the United States the flow
Of immigration has been
turned back toward Europe
by the war, and more aliens
are leaving the United States
than are coming here to
makes their homes.
Statistics made public BY I'M
migration Commissioner
Caminetti show that the
change came in December
last, when the number Of
emigrant aliens leaving this
country was greater by 2,240
than the total OF immigrants
entering.
In January, 1857 more de-
parted than entered. The
departures for the six months
in August, 1914. to January
last totaled l8,545 more than
the arrivals, including both
emigrant and non.emigrant
aliens.
The heaviest emigration was
shown among aliens from
Southern Italy. OF these
1853 more departed than
we're admitted in the seven
months ended with January
This presumably was due to
the calling Of Italian re-
servists to the colors.
