 less they happen to see it in time. l Even then, it won't do you any
 good.
 Don't wear silk underwear; you'll need something thicker-besides silk tears too quickly | The minute you've signed your I application you'll lind you have more friends than the population of China They will all see that you get "well-treated, if not mal-treat-
 ed'
 Don't try to keep both feet off | the floor at the same time; you | will find alternating them rapidly ! much more satisfactory. Don't bring arnica, or any other first aid equipment; we have an | adequate supply on hand. Don't pull that physically unfit stuff; our experts will find out if there is anything wrong with your anatomy.
 If, you come in contact with the
 goat, throw your gears into reverse and give her lots of gas.
 To avoid barbed wire entangle- ments, step high
 When you hear a sound like a roof caving in, don think the Bolshev- iki are upon you; they have a lot i! to learn yet abou ttortures. The Patrol is paid a munificent salary to see that the Novices have a time they will never forget, and they are so afraid tLey won't be paid that they always work double and overtime in order that no fault may be found.
 When you think you've had enough! Say So. That s what we want to know! That is when we begin to start to commence to shoot | on the REAL work of initiation. At the last Ceremonial one No vice said; Give it to me, boys, l want it all.' And he got it. Another said: 'I have a friend

FAMOUS MANUFACTURER
MAKES CONNECTION HERE
Winchester Company Appoints the Martini Hardware Company
Its Representatives To Sell New Products

and shotguns. This proved to be an
good move: for the continued
superior shooting qualities of Winches-
ter arms have for many years been
partly attributed to ammunition being
made for them in the same plant, by the
same organization.
Now this great manufacturing estab
lishment, tremendously expanded in the
gigantic part it played in the winning
of the World War, is apparently branch
ing out to make all possible use of the
additional knowledge, experience, and
equipment thus acquired. New articles
being made already include tools, cut
lery, fishing tackle, flashlights, skates,
etc. With half a century of experience
and unexcelled equipment entering into
their production. it is to be expected
that these new products, made in the
same skilled and workmanlke manner
as the famous Winchester guns have
been made for so long, will have merit
above the ordinary.
To the good fortune of the many old
friends of Winchester in the commu-
nifty who will be the first to wish to
examine these new articles, we have
here in town a retail hardware concern
of such high standing as to be one of
the, first exclusively selected to present
these new Winchester products to the
buying public. The agreement thus
carries with it the privilege and respon-
sibility Of representing the manufac-
turer more directly, than any retail
merchant has heretofore done in the
case of the Winchester Company.
A special invitation is being extended
by the Winchester Company to all its
friends in this district to visit "The
Winchester Store" and see the latest
additions to the Winchester family,
And as the N. T. Martin Hardware
Company are likewise inviting every
body to do so, the store is enjoying
regular cold home week" of Winchester
visitors. New friends will of course be
equally welcome with old Winchester
acquaintances.

The appointment of The N. T. Martin
Hardware Company to sell in this com
munity the new hardware and sporting
goods manufactured by the Winchester
Repeating Arms Company is an
nounced And in the opinion of lead
ing merchants it is one of the most in
teresting and important developments
the local retail trade has known.
First his family, next his dog, then
comes his "Winchester,,,' in the love of
the best type of American. Almost
every family seems to have possessed a
Winchester at one time or another, and
the love and respect for the good old
gun is just about universal. And now
that recently there have been many
new additions to the Winchester fam
ily," there is wide popular interest in
the new cousins and other relatives of
the famous repeating rifle.
Fifty three years ago the Winchester
repeating rifle was placed on the mar
ket by the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company. of New Haven, Conn. 1t
was a good rifle, in fact the first truly
successful repeater, and almost i'm
mediately achieved great popularity.
This first success was made secure by
the strength and vision of it's makers,
one of the first American concerns to
build with the purpose of gaining and
holding a dominant place in the world s
industrial arena.
So large was the part played by
the Winchester rifle in the settling of
the great West and establishing law
and order, that the name Winchester
came into common use in place of the
word rifle. And so high was the stand
ard of manufacture maintained for it.
that it was soon the favorite. hunting
rifle all over the world.
Improved models followed in the
course of time, including the first com
pletely successful repeating shotgun
And with the coming of smokeless pow
der the Winchester Co. commenced the
manufacture of ammunition, to insure
Winchester users the best possible car
tridges and shot shells for their rifles
