Hot, Hotter, Hottest.

We believe that is the way we
used to speak of it in school.
But at any rate it is hot, and it
is hotter than it has been for
some time, and come to think of
it, it is the hottest it has been for
years. What is hot, you ask?
Why everything and everybody.
Sunday and Monday people sat
around in the shade and painted
like a lot of overdriven cattle.
Thermometers all over town Sun
day ranged from 100 to 1O3, and
on Monday the mercury was all
the way from 1O4 to 10, depend
ing on the thermometer and the
imagination of the man who re-
ported the matter. But it was
hot, all right, all right-to hot
to be comfortable.
Sunday and Monday nights
people slept out of doors in an
effort to keep cool, but the effort
was we'll nigh useless.
The government promises
cooler weather this week, and if
the promise is not kept very re-
ligiously the people should over
throw the blamed government.

TO seventeen men. These men have all
had some experience on the field, and are
stickeTs, each one prepared for the hard
line of work laid out for him.
Yesterday the boys were kept busy div

and later they lined up for a little team
work. William GOOdspeed is back ia his

Yesterday, the third day of
the great Consolidation Piano
Sale, was marked by enthus-
iasm not usually, if ever, wit
messed at any kind Of a sale.
The public evidently realizes
that every price quoted by us
| is genuine and that every piano
we sell is sure to be found eX-
actly as represented. The many
customers we served yesterday
give evidence Of the fact that
they find things at the store
exactly as we advertise them.
The object Of the sale Is just
as pressing now as it was the
first day and will continue I'M
til we have enough pianos to
make room for the pianos to
be moved all into one store. The
consolidation Of the two big
stores naturally enlarged the
stock Of the new company to
such an extent that even with
the increased floor space Of the
new store there are far too
many pianos on hand to per-
nit of them all being moved
onto the floors Of the new show
rooms. This means that the
stock must be reduced cOnsid-
erably and the fact that it must
be done quickly is reason
enough for the big reductions
that have so far marked this
sale as the greatest in the his
tory Of the state.
