Pickwick Stages Cut
Time On Coast Trip
Five Hours, 30 Minutes

Several changes have been an
nounced in the Pickwick stage sched-
ule. However, the hour of departure
from this city has not been changed.
The real change is in the fact that the
running time between Douglas and Los
Angeles and Douglas and San Diego
has been lesSened considerably.
4 The running time between Douglas
and Los Angeles and San Diego has
been lessened five hours and thirty
minutes. This has been made possible
by the speeding up of connections and
,the securing of more direct connec-
ton and faster time. s
The stage leaves Douglas at 1880
a. m. and arrives in Los Angeles the
next morning at lilo. The other stage
to Los Angeles leaves here at $3.50 p. m.
and arrives in, Los Angeles at l q. m,
the following day. jnsitg !A ID.
The same time saving plan and
shorter time schedule applies to the
trip to San Diego The bus leaves here
at the same .hour and the change is
made at FL Centre for those caring

surely should be of interest to his

Rev. DR.. Pierce ran heavily to plati-
tudes rather than to any strong,
forceful ideas of his own.
The theme of the Pierce sermon
was that a persons character is al
ways revealed by his speech. The
sermon was sprinkled with such
startling epigrams as what is Sc

For scarcely you, suffice to tir

And yet when folded in a Ioll
The girth Of which a span can

You have a charm that cheers my

And as flaunt amid gile tnrong,
With resolution I endeavor
TO think you're Just as broad and

But when they prune, as they. will,
You'll lose the last remaining

Your size will tell your tragic story
No more will fingers Icr you leap
For, though you old, of crisp and
