A WONDERFULLY SERv- ICEABLE MANS WATCH
 FOR S25

FOR S25.
 A Value of Remarkable Note The legitimate purpose of watch is to keep time. Fall ing short in this: - it be- comes a useless ornament. To purchase a good watch does not always necessitate a big price. On the other hand it is quite possible for you to buy an excellent time piece for a modest outlay of money. We have on dis play, for instance, a beauti- ful thin model for men that sells for $25. This excellent watch has a 1T jewelled movement, guaranteed 20 VT. gold filled case and. will prove a noteworthy watch investment for service, size and design. It's one of those watches that carries with it a particular pride of own ership and appreciation. If you are about to buy a watch for your own use, or a gift for another, by all means come in and look at this model. It will give you great satisfaction and per haps save you several dol lars on the investment.

Twenty English peeresscs. not includ-

The decision hinged largely on wheth-
or o pecrage Is a public function. Lady
Rhondda's petition was based on the

provides that persons shall not be dis

Thomas A. Edison appeared to-day
before the subcommittee OF the Senate
farm bloc, which Is considering the sub
ject OF credits TO farmers. and advo-
Gated a nationwide system OF Govern
rnent warehouses In which the products
OF the farm could be stored. The plan
contemplates issuance OF series OF
farm currency.
Mr.. Edison appeared before the COM
mittee. which II headed by Senator Cap
per. Mt the suggestion of Senator Ere
linghuyeen On. J.). Mr.. Edison told
the committee he had been studying the
subject of farm credits for months at
the suggestion OF his friend Henry Ford.
Under the plan outlined by Mr.. Ed
son a farmer putting products into a
warehouse would be enabled to obtain
a loan on HIS products up to so per cent.
OF tho average market valre for the
last twenty-five years. The Government
would not charge interest on loan
which could run for not to exceed one
year. but would impose sufficient charges
on tho storage in the warehouses to
make the system self-supportins. The
Government would supervise the ware
house and the products stored therein.
"The warehouse credit system" Mr..
Edison added, would provide adequate
credit facilities, so the farmer would not
need to dump his crops on the market
until he could receive fair price for
them"
Senator Capper said the suggestion
of Mr.. Edison would be given consldera-
