WHY NOT OIL YOUR WATCH?
You grease your automobile
every 1,000 miles—Why not oil your
watch every 4,000 miles?
Did you know that the balance
wheel in your watch revolves 1,800
times per hour and that if these
revolutions were all in one direc-
tion, it would cover nearly 4,000
miles in one year?
You wouldn't think of driving
your car that far without a grease
job, so why expect a watch to run
forever without lubrication?
But cleaning, oiling and adjust-
ing a fine watch requires expert
knowledge and years of experience
—such as the 50 long years we have
had in the business. Your watch is
safe with M. I. Cox, Jeweler.

This is the "Dictator," the world's largest carnation, which will be
shown at the National Flower and Garden Show, Houston, Feb. 12 to 19.
Tickets for the show went on sale Jan. 2 in more than 300 cities and
towns in the Southwest.
Flower Show Plans
Nearing- Completion
Most widely demanded single
flower in the world, the carnation
will have a prominent place in the
National Flower and Garden Show,
Feb. 12 to 19, in Houston, plans for
which are entering final form.
Carloads of carnations, of every
variety and color, are now being
prepared by Colorado growers, to
be transplanted into an immense
300-square-foot bed in Sam Hous-
ton Coliseum. Literally hundreds of
varieties, irom the gigantic "Dic-
tator," the world's largest, to the
well-known red and white flowers
which we associate with Mothers'
Day, will be nodding their heads
and filling the Coliseum with their
spicey, pungent perfume.
Seventy thousand advance tickets
were placed on sale Jan. 2, Hugh
Potter, of Houston, chairman of the
advance ticket sale, announced.
Placed ir. florists' shops, utility
companies and other convenient
points, they will sell for 45 cents
each, and will entitle the purchaser
to all privileges carried by the reg-
ular admission ticket, which will be
75 cents after the sale is over.
Houston is getting ready to en-
tertain thousands of persons from
all over the United States. More
than 1000 members of the floral
trad'! alone will visit the show, and
the Coliseum is being prepared to
handle an estimated 150,000.
Mrs. James Stitzle and Mrs.
Florence Wells, accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Starchess, all of Brazil,
Ind., have been here the past week
guests of their parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. F. Huitt, and sisters Mrs.

and Mrs. Guy Claybourn were

now as they did in those days. He

liked Palacios. Mr. Weise is a cabi-

hoped to visit our city more often,

drives throughout this section they

foodg, especially the oysters.
