LoYERSOF GOOD MUSIC; PIANO SILENT

There are homes in every city in
which one finds fine pianos, but for
one reason or another the pianos are
silent-daugeter married and gone or
or she boy who use to play has left
the old home to make one for himself.
Then there is the home in which the
piano is regarded as 'furnishing' and
far use of guests. (No home is proper
ly furnished without a musical instru-
ment). Silent, except occasionally and
yet the occupants of these homes are
real lovers of odd music.
Why not get Kimball "Piano Play

Anyone can operate Kim ball piano

You may talk about the fascination
Of ping-pong or golf, you may go into
ecstasies over all the in and out of door
pastimes, but none of them can com
pare with the pleasure of personal

You are cordially invited to dsop in

tions given freely. The great house OF
Kimball are now producing the music

OUR EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY.

The Iowa State Bystander with this
issue begins it's ninth year, having
struggled from a small beginning
eight years ago until now she does
everything in our Office with our own
type and other paraphernalia. except
the press work and folding and we
cherish the hope to some day own
our own pres and folders. Our paper
now goes into the homes of nearly
all the best colOred families in Iowa
In fact it goes into many homes and
many read it who are not subscribers.
We go into 76 counties in Iowa. 81
states in the United States and three
foreign countries. We have never
missed an issue each week since we
began. making total of 416 issues
during those many years we have
tried to give our readers the news in
a truthful manner. We have tried to
do right and be honest with the
public. avoiding church quarrels or
petty discussions. for we think that
the great mass of the public don't
care anything about their neighbours
troubles or the church quarrels, but
they want the general news pure
and simple. That news that is ele
waiting for our race and as the public
know that the ever reliable Bystander
is fixture in Iowa the race can feel
that there is one paper dedicated TO
the welfare of the whole race and will
condemn the wrong and commend
the right. Whereyer seen subscribers
and friends please assist us to do ever
n, ora fo,, o,,r common oo1eo no ~, al =,
the elevation and enlightenment Of
our race, Tor the editor is, always busy
with overcrowded duties. as his close
friends well know. Yet without great
laabor there is no reward. II

PAPERS SHOULD BE ELENATIN(

PAPERS SHOULD BE E>LENATING
We are in receipt of an anonymous
communication in which the writer
says papers should elevate the race
There was also Enclosed a clipping
from the Rystander's issue of May l6
and we suppose that those articles
were obnoxious to the writer. One
of our prominent ministers expressed
his views about the actions of the
Federation of Woman's Clubs and we
expressed our views about the same
sub ject. In that same issue we spoke
of Il young man who had won the
light weight championship of the
world and these articles were ON the
first page in separate column near
each other. Inasmuch as the BY
stander is not religious paper we
do not see why anyone should OF. ject
to seeing articles SO close to each
other even if they do not contain a
metaphor. OF course we do not know
what the "friend's" objections were,
but supposed that the articles were to
near each other If he had signed his
name we would have published his
letter. In reading any periodical you
will find that the news is diversified.
Why can't the Bystander do the
same? If the members of our race
would work as hard to assist us in
increasing our circulation and adj
vertisements and Laying their arrears
as they do to tell us our faults and
how to conuuct newspaper we wum!tl
enlarge our paper and could arrange
