A Devotion
to Ideals

When Jonas Chickerng. IN 1923. sold the Erss
piano that bore his name. he established the founda-
don of the scientific and artistic leadership in piano
building that has been associated ever since with the
name of Chickering. From the very first his in
venhons revohtionized the piano-makers' ars-and
gained for American pianos in every respect tho
wel[deserved recognition of superiority over their
foreign rivals.
The personal initiative the close supervision, ths
loving. enthusiastic care which Jonas Chickenng
bestowed upon the instruments that bore his name
have been perpetuated In all the sc years that have
followed. 1t is this constant. painstaking care.
coupled with far-sighted progessveness. inventive
ability. initiative that has not only maintained the
glorious Chickering standard Of excellence. but kept
it constantly forging ahead. never resting momens
on its laurels superb achievements.
The result of this chcrishing of Chckcnng radi-
tion-riade constantly militant by the infusion Of
new enthusiasm. new artistic ideals-is clearly seen
in the Chickering pianos to-day-the most perfect
examples of modern piano making The elimination
of inventive genius Is found in the small Chickerins

smallest boudoir or parlor-yet possessing miracles
of volume and clearness of tone. of resonance. Of

innocent cattlemen had recently been
lynched because they allowed their cat

that such officers would try to put mp

Will Ask Congress For
Gigantic Appropriation

and il may be said that this alone
is sufficient to Justify the cost OF
their construction as rapidly as prae-
ticable under an Efficient, economical
and equitable system of highway i'm.
provement. The big points in favor
OF this expenditure is the economy
of time and force in transportation be-
tween farm and market, enabling the
growers to take advantage of fluctua.
tions In buying and selling as well
as enchancing the value OF real es.
tate.
1T is estimated that the average
annual loss from poor roads is 76
cents an acre, while the estimated
average increase resulting from inn.
proving all the public roads is So. The
losses in FIVE years would aggregate
$2,432 for every section Of land, or
more than enough TO improve two
miles of public highway. The neces.
sity of good roads is obvious, as 1t
would enchance the value of each
section OF land about $500, or more
than double the estimated cost Of
two miles of improved highway,
which constitutes the quota for GAO
acres of land
"The value of our forests was never
better appreciated than today With.
in the arid and semi-arid portions of
the western states nearly $4,000, 900
acres are covered with woodland OF
value for fuel, fence posts and other
purposes essential to the success OF
the farmers. There also are $4,000,
600, acres covered with heavy forests,
having commercial value for timber
and logs for saw mills, also hundreds
of thousands OF acres of timber lands
