TRUE watch fine
ness is a matter of
workmanship and ma
terial not of price, or of jewels,

The fineness of the HOWARD
watch is the fineness of intelligent
design, of workmanship with a
conscience behind it, of exquisite
adjustment.
Every Howard is adjusted in
iit ease, to heat, cold, vibration,
change of position.
The price li fixti by the printed ticket
ittiched at the ctorjr $35.00 to $150.00

Authorizes Committee to Build.
At the conzrccational mectinir last
cvenlnir the committee havincr In charee
the buildinir of a new Presbyterian
church was authorized to "go ahead
and do business." This meeting was
called for tho purpose of considering a
bid suhmitted by u. f. uastn, of
Schuyler, Neb., and which was recom
mended for acceptance by the commit
tee. This Id is for about $10,000,
whilo the maximum amount set for the
cost bv the concreiratlon. and estim
ated by tho architect drawing the plans,
was $17,500. it was ouna, however,
that no bid for the latter amount can
be secured, henco the instructions to
the committee to go ahead and use
their judgment in the matter.
It was tho expectation of the com
mittee as well as the congregation, to
have tho full amount of tho cost sub
scribed before work on tho buildinir be
gan, and this would have proven true
had a bid for $17,500 been received, but
tho increased cost has called for a de
cision by the committco whether to de
lay construction until tho balance is
subscribed or go ahead and secure the
needed amount during the construction
period or after tho church is completed.
It is probable, however, that tho com
mittee will go ahead and close a con
tract with the bidder.
For the buildinir fund the church has
about $9,000 in cash on hand and $0,800
subscribed. It will therefore require
something over $3,000 more to make
the church free of debt when the build
ing Is completed. As the subscriptions
to date have been voluntary, it would
seem that a "hustling committee"
could easily secure the amount needed,
as citizens regardless of denomination,
will take pride in the erection of such a
splendid church edifice and will contrib
ute more or less toward the building
fund.
Wo hone the committee will decide
to at once sign the contract and thus
insure an early completion of the
building.
