FIRST FEATURE AT
WATCH TOWER

capacity crowds heard the famous
Tropical Marimba band at the first
concert of its series at the Watch
Tower Inn yesterday.

an American jazz orchestra and
have developed a rhythm as smooth
as the ripping of water. Soft
toned instruments mingle with
xylophonic tones in perfect har-
money and with a tempo that is
perfect.
The engagement is scheduled to
continue two weeks when the band
goes to Inglaterra, Rockford, for
a summer schedule of 10 weeks.
Concerts are scheduled here every
afternoon and evening and We'd
nesday nights the band will play
in the ballroom.

The mower cuts like a pair of
shears, the sickle acts as one blade
and the ledger plate in the guard

faces are held close to each other
by the clip which presses down on

will pull in between the two cutting
surfaces. Bend down clip by strik-

sight down the guards about
two inches back from the points
and see that they are in line. A
guard bent down allows the grass
to drag under the sickle at that
point. A guard bent up will lift
the sickle off the guards on either
side giving two places where the
grass is not cut. To line up the
guards strike with a hammer about
two inches back from that point.
Sickle breaking is caused by up and
down wear under the clip at the
rear of the cutter bar.
This wear allows sickle head to
bend slightly on each stroke which
in time causes it to break. To take
up this wear remove shimms from
under the rear clips. Sickle knives
must center in the guards at the

sickle is kept sharp and the cut
ter bar parts properly adjusted the
mower will give service for a long
time"

INTENDED TO ADVISE RULER
Cabinet of President of the United States Copy of Old Institu-
 tion in Europe.

From the earliest times the king of England was assisted in his gov ernment by a body of men known as the "privy counciI'-men whose ad- vice was sought in the gravest and most delicate affairs of state. But, with the gradual increase of the demo cratic character of parliament, the real government of the nation be- came more and more vested in the kings parliamentary ministers, while the rank of privS councillor came to be bestowed as a purely honorary dis tinctiOn upon men to whom little was cOnfided. As a result the sov- ereign resOrted for advice to his principal ministers and hence arose the custom of selecting the leading parliamentary members of the party in power. When the United States government was formed this idea of giving the ruler the assistance and ad- vice of a group of picked men was borrowed from the British system, while the word cabinet" was taken from the French, where 1t signifies a small cabin or rOom-kings and other pOtentates being accustomed to consulting with their ministers in a private room or cabinet" t."-COlum- bus Dispatch.

IN EXISTENCE BY COMMAND
Present City of Halifax Was Founded Under Orders Given by British
 Government.

Halifax is one of that small num- Der of places that were commanded to come into existence, and obeyed. Acadia was ceded to the British crown by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713, but little or nothing was done for a third of a century to give 1t British popula- ton. Finally, in the spring of 1749, the British government sent out in transports, conveyed by war ships, 2.576 settlers, for the most part dis charged soldiers and their families. They were we'll supplied with means of all kinds, and told to found a city on the shores of ChebuctO bay, which they accordingly did, naming the place Halifax, in compliment to George Montague, earl of Halifax, the mem Der of the British government under whose immediate auspices the settle ment was undertaken. It became at once the capital of Nova Scotia, and such it has continued to be to the present day. It is, therefore, the old est political capital under the British flag in all Canada.
