What happened to your watch toâ€"day? Elgin W atches WEBERS 989 ~994 ARNOTTS .. 2809105 4 :218 [ . 218 Next to Hollinger Grocery Store STARRS s 42 Td 199 Why, nothing at all, you will say. You didn‘t drop or jar it, and it kept just as good time as ever. Yet, something has happened to it. Every twentyâ€"four hours the oil in your watch evaporates just a little more, becomes a bit more gummy ; tiny particles of dirt sift into the delicate mechanism, even through the most tightly fitting case, and eventually the timekeeping performance of the watch is impaired. Be fair to your watch. Have it cleaned, oiled, and adjusted at least once a year and avoid heavier repairs later. Experts in our Service Department will do this for you at moderate cost. And while you‘re considering the care of your watch, be sure it‘s thoroughly upâ€"toâ€" date in styleâ€"dressed in one of the celeâ€" brated Wadsworth Cases, that set the fashion for watches today.

As soon as the police secured information as to the girl‘s relatives in Montreal, that city was communicated with and arâ€" rangements made to return the young lady to her home there. The young lady, who was wellâ€"dressed and otherâ€" wise appeared as if she had «come from a good home, said that she had left Montreal without any of her people being aware of her intentions in this regard. She carried among her effects a notebook with the penâ€" cilled instructions :â€"First, always seek police chief‘s advice; second watch for lady with bag. This second note no doubt referred to the Traveller‘s Aid representative at many of the important stations throughout Canada North Bay Nugget:â€"Mr. H. Apâ€" plebottom regrets that the eightâ€"hour working day observed by the Long Hang Wang Lang Laundry Company makes it impossible for him to get his only dress shirt back in time to accept the kind invitation of Miss ITona Ford for dinner Thulsday Noâ€" vember ninth. A despatch from Matheson last week says:â€"‘*A continuation of the encouraging results being met with in the development work to the west of the fault on the 500 and 625â€"foot levels at the Blue Quartz Gold Mines is likely to result in the construction of a mill on the property. Some time ago The Globe reported good results in this section of the mine, and at that time H. C. Crow, President nf the company, estimated $600,000 worth of of ore in sight. The developments west of the fault, however, have been such that the ore possibilities have been considerably increased. _ The 502 vein ‘has been opened for a conâ€" siderable distance west of the fault on the 625â€"foot level, and free gold was largely in evidence. To the west of the fault on the 500â€"foot level the vein showed a good width, and not only is an improvement apparent in width, but also in values at the lower levels. The work to the west of the fault has shown better assays than the development to the east. If deâ€" velopments continue as at present and steps taken to erect a mill it is likely application will be made to list the shares of this company on the mining market.‘‘ AUTHORITIES CARE FOR GIRL WALKING ON TRACK CONsSTRUCTION OF MILL FORECAST AT BLUE QUARTZ NO. 137-8 No. 147â€"B T avannes W atches See.â€"treas. P.D.F.L. Editor‘s Note:â€"The columns of The Advance are open for the discusâ€" sion of matters of interest to the public, but under certain definite rules. Accordingly some sentences were deleted from Mr. Field‘s letter, just as the same oceurred last week with Mr. Hornby‘s letter, because these references were not pertinent to the matter at issue. The Advance has no desire to enter the lists of battle on either side, but being dragged in by references by both parties to the Thanking you again, and trusting you will be able to give «ame space enough for my letter in full, I remain, The writer also states that in reâ€" viewing the two seasons he finds that in 1926 there was more harmony on the field and more sportsmanship, etce., than in the year just closed. Now, for crying out loud! if Mr. Hornby did not have the time to reâ€" view 1926 to the satisfaction of the great majority, then how can he reâ€" view the season just closed, when he was not in office and only attended some of the gamesâ€"some after halfâ€" time and none of the meetings? However, a glance at the minute book of the P.D.F.L. for 1926 will convince those interested on how business was carried on in that year. With all due respect to President Duxfield, he was only one and not strong enough to stem the tide that had started the downfall of football in this town. In fact, the wedge was in so deep that the P.D.E.L. this season hardly made any impression by the work they have accomplished by businessâ€"like meâ€" thods. This was started at the smoker and applied to all council members, because each and every one, without exception, stuck to the rules and conducted the business fairly to all concerned. Rules were not made to suit the case, as was done in 1926, but the standard rules (and there is one set in soccer football) governed at all times. Mr. Hornby says he was paid to record all minutes! Did he do it? To attend to all correspondence! â€" Did he do it? To pay all accounts! Did he do it? He also says he could say more. Please, Mr. Editor, give ‘him lots of room in your valuable paper, and I will try and oblige him. _ 1 don‘t think that any more. harm can be done to football than has been done, but we might be able to do a little good if we give everything a thorough airing. This will be my aim, at least. I feel sure if the P.D. FL. next season carry out the policy that has again been laid down for them this season, not by myself, but by the council of the P.D.F.L., tuut-? ball will eventually regain the preâ€" stige it onece held. Shall I quote others? THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO ANOTHER LETTER ABOUT 1N 1926 AND 1927 Dear Sir:â€"In your issue of Thursâ€" day, Dec. 8th, there appeared a letter written over the signature of F. J. Hornby. I will appreciate it very much if you would give the following letter as much publicity as possible in your paper. Mr. W. A. Field Writes in Reply to Letter Last Week by Mr. J. F. Hornby, Secretary in 1926. To the Editor of The Poreupine Advance In the past The Poreupine Advance has played an importart part in the boosting of football as a real sporting organization carried on in a real sporting businessâ€"like way and it was nothing else but that which put the football in the position it attained previous to 1926. Now, since the question has been opened ‘up again, especially in the press, by Mr. Hornâ€" by, I feel it as a part of my duty to the public of this town,â€"that is, all who have supported football in one way or another,â€"to ask this question for a start. ‘‘Has football this past two years been progressing or declinâ€" ing, or has it even kept the standard which it attained in 1924 and 1925?"‘ My personal opinion is that it is on the decline. This is another point open for discussion. An old saying is (ond I have found it true) that noâ€" thing pinches harder than the truth. Yours truly, W. A. FIELD, 2 give everything a This will be my feel sure if the P.D. carry out the poliey Timmins, Dec 12?th A despatch this week from Wawa, Ont., says that diamond drilling is under way on the north shore claims of Dome Mines, Ltd., on Wawa Lake. Reed and Ryan of Timmins have the contract for a small drill campaign The work now in hand is designdd to explore the downward extension of the phenomenally rich silverâ€"lead vein on the claims. â€"A high grade streak of over two feet width on the shore which Dome is now exploring, returns values in silver and lead which are said to total around $100 to the ton. Upon the results of the drilling will depend the future conduct of Dome with regard to several options now held in this area. Another substantiâ€" al payment on the Christie claims is due early in the new year and the company is anxious to get as much information as. possible regarding the deposit before that time. DRILLING TO START ON DOME NORTH SHORE CLATIM report in these columns of the P.D.F. L. smoker, The Advance would point out that both parties agree at least on that one pointâ€"that the report was correct and faw.
