b ,-l Complete Harmonize® ‘I BigE ■ II Golfers to an astounding degree are under the mental handicap of thinking they have to learn a separate and distinct swing for each club in a set. Consequently, they are making the game harder than it really is. But with a complete harmonized set of clubs, three woods and eight irons, you have eleven clubs that swing as one. There is a complete mathematical harmonization between each and every club. It is not just a guess that a complete harmonized set will lower your score. It is a fact established daily on golf courses from one ocean to the other. Come in today and get the '‘feel” of these sets. And-you’ll be surprised to find how many other interesting things we have here to show you. Teeple & Peterson

, Patrons Object To Rate Increase; Order Telephones Removed North Manchester, Ind., July 2.— (U.R)-The Northern Indiana Telephone company today was faced with removing 125 of its phones after patrons rose in arms because of a recent rate increase. An order from 125 patrons of the company said: "To the Northern Indiana Telephone company: You are hereby notified to remove our telephones beginning July 1. 1929, and to discontinue telephone service at that date. 1 his action is taken for the reason that we do not believe we are warranted in paying the rate announced to go into effect on July 1, together with a greatly restricted service.” Subscribers at a recent mass meeting here vo'ed to have their telephones removed because of a 25 cent monthly increase and discontinuance of free .oil service between exchanges which became effective yesterday. Other meetings are to be held. The company with headquarters in North Manchester, has exchanges in a number of surrounding towns. Get the Habit —Trade at Home, it Pavz
