 The Edison photograph solves the entertainment problem. This clear, entertainment that is never-failing and never-tiring. Classical music or time, songs or marches, minStrels or OrcheStraS, or funny stories, are your threshold. Without the phono- graph none except trained musicians can hear the music they like sung or played as they like it. The photograph i sings as sweetly and clearly as the cul- tured singer and renders perfectly the tones of the various instruments of orchestras and bands in ali their del icate harmonieS. With a phonograph you can make up your own programs: you may hear what you please as often as you please. It requires no skill You can master it's operation in five minutes. Perhaps there is piece of music that you have heard, the half. learned melody of which haunts you or may be there is something that you particularly want to hear. Your pho nograph will give it to you as it should be sung or played, until you have learned tiff you desire-and always just as clearly and sweetly as at the first time. F. E.

KID scALER GOES TO BUTTE
There He Will Meet Jack kearns in a
Finish Fight.

Kid Scaler and his manager, Jack
Kearns, left Spokane yesterday for
Helena, Montana, where he is to have
his first finish fight, meeting Kid
Oglesby, who is striving for high ring
honors.
Scaler and Oglesby are matched fol
February 81. Because Oglesby says he
cannot get into condition by that time
the mill may be postponed. scaler
could well stand the postponement as
he reported to be not in the best con-
dition.
Side bets of $500 are to be posted
by the men. Kearns has already put
up $3.50 and will get the remainder
when he reaches the Montana city.
