A Pretty Souvenir.

One Of the richest and finest souvenirs
received by any Viroqua firm last Christ
mas, was presented by The Packard Co,
Fort Wayne, Ind, to the 9. c. Brown
Music Co, in the form of very pretty
| little gold Seth Thomas clock and an in
Interchangeable yearly calendar, both EN-
bossed on heavy cardboard easel for
desk use The corners are ornamented
with gold tips, and the face of the easel
Ia in white and gold, with black letters.
It is at once an expensive, usefal and
artistic reminder of the fact that Pack
ard pianos are high-grade instruments,
although the company modestly abstains
from saying 30 in their souvenir: also
testiiies 10 the appreciation of the Pack
ard company for the increasing trade
they are edjoying from this section
The Brown Music company has held
the Packard agency about two years
only, but In chat short time havs placed
nearly three score Parckard pianos and
organs, over half Of which were pianos,
and covering large territory for such
a new firm, which will be seen by the
partial list Of the following homes

that no one will regard the bill as an extreme
measure. And those who make a careful study
of it will feel shat the committee has gone about
as far the situation demands.
Its three main objects publicity to cor
porations engaged in interstate commerce.
severe penalties against the givers and receivers
Of rebates. and an attempt to prevent the estab
lshment of monopoles through the manipula-
tion of price. The committee has been very
careful TO do nothing more than necessary to
prevent violations of existing laws through
more adequate means for their enforcement. No
corporation is endangered by any of the pro-
visions of this bill unless 1t is engaged in
the violation of law. The provisions regarding
publicity we'll guarded / do not assume
that the Interstate Commerce Commission Will
exercise the discretion given to it in calling for
reports from corporations except for good cause
The provision that all corporations hereafter
created shall. upon entering upon interstate

strong influence in preventing the organization
Of corporations which are overcaptalized."
Both Mr. Powers and Mr. Littlefeld predict
that the bill will go through the House. 1t will

of next week. and Mr.. Littefield will go to Ros-
