of the first two. Buyers are coming
from all over the Copper Country to

OUR REASON FOR THIS SALE.

We could not have made this tre-
mendous cut i'm prices had we not
received the whole stock of Fifty-fiv
pianos from "a big branch house which
we closed i'm the Upper Peninsula the
last week OF October. All these pianos
either had to be sold at once or ship
ped back to the factory and we simply
choose the lesser of two evils. By
selling these instruments quickly and
in large quantities we can let them 60
at wholesale prices and the advertis-
ing that we get all over this territory
Will help us in the future. Every
Cable piano we sell now will brina us
future business.
RESULTS HAVE JUSTIFIED U.s..
Already we see the good resulting
from this campaign. We could not
have had better thing happen to us
than this temporary loss. From all
points in this territory people are
coming to buy our pianos and we are
finding that there are places on the
map up here that we never heard of
before. our business for the past
three weeks has been larger in num-
bers of sales than any two months
business we have ever had. And we
have always sold more pianos than

and burned. At the close of four
years of Folk, Missouri faced a de-
felt of $1,5OO,0OO. Under Hadley
we are looking into a deficit of
$3000,000 This may be glad news
to the people who turned down the

Criticized Dental Board.

Representative HardeSty's charge
against the State Dental Board
were largely sustained by the COM
mittee appointed to investigate
them. The report charged the
Board with acting contrary to law
in many respects, with being lavish
in its expenditures, with employ
ing attorneys contrary to law and
with rendering no account for the
fees collected.
The report was gratifying to

men who were denied license to

Most folks brought up in the coun
try have slid down the cellar dool
When they was young and Coltish
but
I'm thinkin' enough sight more
Have made it a place to recline or
and kind o lounge around
On keenish days in springtime when
the sno's most left the ground
But what lays along the walls
And in hollers here and there
Just enough to bender fence maxim
and keep a chilly air.
Then on Sunday after meetin' when
I've had dinner good,
And sunshine on the cellar door has
been warmin' up the wood,
like to wander around to theSouth
side of the house,
And git stretched out on the slopin'
as still as any mouse,
While | hearken to the music of the
little tricklin' rillS
That are COursin toward the river
from the snOWbanks on the hills.
There lay and dream, and listen
with my arm beneath my head,
To the phoebe that's explorin for a
home out in the shed;
To the robin and the blue bird that
are pipin' in the trees;
To the buzzin and the hummin' of
warmed-Over flies and bees;
To the hens out in the barnyard zee
in the stable on the hay,
Tellin' all the world the story of the
eggs they're bound to lay.
