THERE IS 4 REASON"

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tenn of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and If it doesn't average good is it returned and a new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get 8 from a purchaser of one of these watches.
 Our alarm clocks are rigidly in spected also.

it's borders along Mexico from out rage.
 "Is Exactly Our Idea"
 We do not seek ana quarrel We shall be delighted to see this pacific plan worked out. It is exactly our idea as regards Poland's future which is entertained by President Wilson, providing also that an organization can be built capable of enforcing the mandates of such a Court.
 "If humanity be organized accord ing to President Wilson's principles, an international army will be cor ollary, and if the peace conference adopts these principles surely we will accept it's judgment. We trust the peace conference; we are firmly convinced that its final verdict will be that of perfect equity.
 At the same time we are living human beings. and it is unthinkable that we maintain the attitude Of motionless objects while being at tackled We were attacked at Lem berg, which has been Polish for a thousand years. It is now populated by Poles, and the Nation and Gov ernment have been forced to defend their sacred rights.
 Our attitude is the more justi fled as the enemy has been organ ized and is led by German officers, ant after the AlliedGerman arfhistice was concluded in November.
 "When Money Is Involved"
 "The country South of Lemberg is half Polish and the rest Ruthen- ian. It is an oil fight from, the point of view of a commercial people who see use in fighting only where money isa involved The same applies to the Teschen coal fields. For the Czechs it is a coal fight. For us one of race.
 "In the United States Masarylt tPresident of the Czecho-Slovak re- public) told me that there would never be any discord between the two nations about territory. How ever, he said, We need coal You can have the surface ground, but what we want is underneath
 You Americans, now that the war is over, conclude that the Germans are repenting, that they are exactly the same kind of people as your selves. It is very disastrous er- TOT for us at present.
 "It is evident that the Germans consider themselves victors on the Eastern front and are planning the economic domination of Russia by selling arms to the Bolsheviki, which epidemic will cease when it's runs its course.
 "ProbabIe End of Russia"
 "The probable end of Russia will be a dictatorship with some other Trotsky, Lenine, or Hohenzollern type.
 Your advice to us not to fight is good advice for dying man, but not for man who wishes to live and enjoy liberty, We have to pro tect certain institutions.
 "On the whole, I am optimistic about Poland's future."

LONDON SUFFERING FROM SCARCITY OF
 THE SMOKE WEED

LONDON, March 15.-London has been suffering lately from a scarcity of tobacco, notably of cigarettes. This, according to John Pearson, President of the National Union of Retail Tobacconists. is due to the fact that the shipping control only permitted 10000 tons of tobacco a month to come into the country, while more people smoked than for merly. There were more women smokers, he said.
