The Naseby vilunteers go into camp at Easter. y^fONU-NDRUMS. A correspondent signing himself "J. -P., Ueatheote Valley," submits the following :— "Why is a written guarantee to a Waterbury watch like the master of ceremonies at a ball ?" Answer : " Because one accompanies a watch, and the other watches a company." Now, this old- conundrum has done duty in the same connection with every watoh invented for the last 50 years, and its time to let , sleeping dogs lie. No guarantee except its name accompanies the Waterbury, and its name haa proved sufficient. He also contributes : "Why is a Waterbury watch lik,e a screwjack ? " , * Answer: "Because it has done away with the leaver." No one buys a lever watch nowadays. Every class in the community delights in its Waterbury. Whether they pay L 3 3s for the golden king, or L 2 2s for the solid silver, jewelled movement, or rely on their 22s 6d "nickeU" they are all pleased, all very correct.
