The rabbit took the dumb watch
out of his pocket and held it to his
ear. Then he let Bunty listen. But
there was no ticking sound.

watch that doesn t even tick,
said Bunty. Suppose YOU met some

Not with u dumb watch that

But just then, all of sudden,
down in the grass both rabbits
heard a ticking tocking sound.
"Oh, cried Bunty, "maybe
that's your real watch"
"Maybe,' agreed Uncle Wig
gily. But when he looked down in
the grass he saw only a little bug
crawling along. "Who are you?"
asked the rabbit.
81 am the bug called Tick, y
was the answer, and away he tick
ed and tocked like a little clock,
clicking his legs and wings.
"Why, you re just what we
need, " cried Bunty. You can be
a tick for Uncle Wiggily S watch!
Put this tick bug inside the dumb
atch and everybody will think it
going said Bunty.
"a good idea if the tick will get
in my dumb watch, - agreed Mr..
Longears. And when the tick bug
said he didn't mind, inside the
dumb watch he was put and then
it sounded just as if it kept time.

"Well, they weren't all made by

But l say these marks were
made by animals roared the chap
with the double jointed tail.
"Those three dot marks were made

After extensive investigation the
Fox Film Corporation have pro
duced motion picture based on
the modern convict labor situation.
This picture is called Honor
Bound' which is the feature at
traction at the New Airdomc to-
night only.
1t is the story of John Ogletrct
who has been sent to prison through
the treachery of woman. He IS
embittered with life and is fighting
through unaided. The reason for his
sudden transfer to the coal mines
is revealed when he finds that
Evelyn, his former sweetheart, is
row the wife of Paul Mortimer, the
coal baron. Seeking to win back
Ogletree she has him appointed her
chauffeur. His Indifference 50 en-
iages her that she wrecks the car
and is carried to the hospital badly
injured. Her husband overhears her
calling for Oglctrec in her delirium
and consigns the latter to the coal
Tincs there to meet an existence
worse than death. How he comes
through this with the aid of Selma,
the prison doctor 5 daughter, and
lis convict buddy who helps him
escape, reveals one of the most
dramatic stories ever screened.

Radio Value of !
able Comment.

The person today who buys Radio
without seeing and h.arir- Bosch
Model "28" first. either doesn't know
the value Of a dollar, or else, Is letting
some smooth sales talk get the better
OF his or her own Judgment.
For. no thinking man or woman. once
they have heard and actually seen this
amazing Radio, would hesitate for a
minute to acknowledge it superior in
every respect to any radio costing up
to twice as much. Taken point-for-
point Model "23" Bosch not only
measures up to the unus Tally fine
standard of all previous Bosch models,
BIZ. sets a new high mark Of Bosch
accomplishment.
1t is a delight to look at and so
simple to operate that it does every
thing bit operate itseiI-is economical
to keep in peration-costing only
fraction of a cent per hour to run
ard is readily adaptable to every in
dividual type Of radio reception. The
Human Voice either speaking or singing
music ranging from popular so-called
jazz numbers to concert operas-sport-
ing events--or any variety of radio re-
ception either local or distant, that you
care to name are equally and perfectly
brought in with slight turn of one
dial. And bear in mind to, that this is
exceptional for any Radio! The average
Radio is good for one particular type OF
reception, and plays that one satisfac-
torily-but change to some other type,
as for instance, from an orchestra to
singing voice, and you'll hear another
radio entirely.
Bosch Model "28" and all other Bosch
models are wonderful an around radios,
and reproduce exactly the same tone,
the same pitch as the original broad
casting. This is known in Radio as
Natural Tone" and is conceded to be
hard to incorporate in . low pricsd
radio.
One Of the biggest factors in obtain
ing natural tone in any radio is to
use fine material The use of poor
material will give low tone or high
squeaky tone. Neither is pleasant to
hear for very long at time.
Bosch models throughout are built Of
the finest materials that money can
buy. An example Of Bosch policy is
