Summer Residents! 
Do not leave your valuable clocks through the winter without protection 
from the cold and dampness of an unoccupied house. 
Such treatment 
will seriously affect the time-keeping quality of your clocks and may 
ruin them. 
We will call for them, run them through the winter in a warm dry 
room and return them in good order in the spring. Charges Reasonable

Wuy’s AN Ecc 
Since the first hen crossed the road 
the short-winged fowl has had _ its 
partisans, and most people who have 
had an opportunity have at some time 
or another “raised chickens.”  Al- 
though this has been going on for 
centuries the same old question is 
discussed as to whether egg farming 
can be made to pay. The average 
hen’s egg weights about two or three 
ounces and varies in length from two 
to three inches. Someone who may 
or may not know what he is talking 
about, has declared that 300,000,000 
eggs are consumed each week in the 
United States. ‘The estimate seems 
to be fair enough as it is only three 
eggs per person. If them these 300,000,- 
000 eggs were placed in a row, that 
is, end to end, they would cover 10,- 
000 miles, which is considerably more 
than one-third of the stretch around 
the globe. Then why not commend 
the industry of the faithful hen, who, 
whether she can be made to pay or 
not, is conducting her affairs on thou- 
sands of farms and back yards. The 
world loves chickens and her pro- 
ducts; and whether she pays or not 
her fruit will ever remain perman- 
ent on the breakfast table.

“What could be more sad than a 
man without a country?” feelingly 
asked the high-school literature 
teacher of her class. 
“A country without a man,” re- 
sponded a pretty girl just as feelingly.

BASEBALL ASSOCIATION ELECTS 
A business meeting of the Man- 
chester Baseball association was held 
Monday evening at Lee’s hall the 
feature of which was the big crowd 
that attended. The hall was crowd- 
ed—an evidence of the interest Man- 
chester folk are taking in baseball and 
their desire for the continuation of a 
team next year. 
Very little was done at the meeting 
outside electing officers for next year, 
and hearing the report of the secre- 
Williams, asst,  treas. 35 
Roland Knight, Willard Rust and 
Allen Dennis. A committee of five, 
to be appointed by the president, is to 
report at the next meeting on the 
matter of a manager or managers for 
the coming year. A rising vote of 
thanks was given to board of mana-- 
gers of the present year. 4 
The meeting adjourned to next 
Monday evening at 7.30 at Lee’s hall.
