WORK ON $250,000 HOSPITAL STARTED
CORPUS CHRISTI, Tex., Sept. 4. Work on the $250,000 Protestant hospital, to be erected here to the memory of Fred Roberts, who laid down his life for the Klan, will be started soon. The campaign for -funds is progressing rapidly. This hospital is being erected as a memorial to the late Fred Roberts, of Corpus Chrintl, who was shot and killed by a Roman Catholic sheriff, who was his enemy, it is said, because of his activity in behalf of Klan principles. Friends of the late Klansman feel that this hospital, caring for patients of all creeds, will be a fitting memorial to this martyr who deserves a place among the Texas heroes. The early Texas heroes died to establish a free government, and he died to preserve and perpetuate it.

Expert Repair Work on Fine Watches and Clocks A. E. Kiewitt 232 Mass. Avenue
When the man who owns a fine
automobile needs repair work or ad
Justments made, he usually takeshis
machine to the shop with a reputa
tion-tor skilled mechanical work.
The same is or should be true with
a fine watch or a valuable clock. It is an easy matter to ruin a fine piece
of mechanism, and the ordinary! workman usually "bungles" the job. If you are the owner of a valuable
clock or fmewaich that needs clean ing, repair work or adjusting take it to Kiewltt's and yon may be assured that it will be in perfect condition when it is returned to you. Ifyou happen to be a busy professional man' or woman, just telephone Kiewitt MAin 6135 and he will send for your timepiece and return it to you when ready a Kiewitt service.
