REJOICE OVER
BIG RAINFALL

Farmers and city people have
reason to rejoice together in the
recent bountiful rains that have
visited the Inland empire. The in
creased rainfall has given assur-
ance Of good crops, and one potato
grower remarked a few-days ago
that potatoes will s4p for around
so to Is cents per sadk this fall.
The prospect for a good crop Of
wheat is welcome news to the
housewife with a flock of chickens
and nearly everybody seems to
have chickens in Spokane. AT the
present price of wheat It is cheap
er to buy eggs than feed hens to
lay them.
For the first FIVE and a half
months Of 1909 the rainfall has
been Al per cent greater than for
the same period last year, accord
ing to observations compiled by
the local weather bureau.
From January 1 to June II, 1909
7.73 inches Of rain fell, as against
5.44 inches for the same period
last year. The increase is 2.2e
inches, or Al per cent.

Age-maybe a fraget-bumping
the bumps, with her spectacles fly
ing off and her front hair twisted.
That starts the first laugh. We see
how comical she looks and then we
buy yard of tickets, five cents a
bump, six bumps for a quaretr.
The man who built the bumps
probably didn't know what psy-
chology meant, but he's working it
on us.
The summer garden face is a
hilarious face. It's the result of
dances, walks in cool spots, slides
down the bumps, flying trips
through the air and floats through
the Mystic Rill, whose cavernous
recesses make girl feel the need
of a protecting right arm about her
waist. 1t comes from whirls on the
whirly things, two stepping (only a
little) and waiting { whole lott,
and from coasting and riding on
the merry 60 round.

hard his collar and his shirt have
parted company what makes him

it can be. Psychology again.
All the buildings and even the
peanut stands are painted daz-
zling white or some brilliant color.
When we see that white paint we
begin to feel cooler.
Then there's the music. Nobody
ever heard dirge played at sum-
mer garden, and nobody ever will.
Anything that has little ragtime
in it and that moves quickly
enough to get our clumsy fete 60
ing will suit us.
Long before we've seen half the
sights our feet are as light as
feathers. We may have done the
full Marathon distance of over 26
miles, but-surprising thing--we're
feeling better than when we
started.
People don't like to go to a place
| for a laugh unless there are other
clean, happy people there.
That's why they go to the sum

How to Judge a
Bargain

If anyone offers you a better
piano than we can at the same
price you had better buy It, for 1t
will certainly be a bargain
Before you buy, be sure YOU know
it is better instrument.
Be sure the tone is clear and
pure, having good carrying power
and plenty of resonance; be sure
the action is free and responsive;
be sure the keys are of genuine
ivory; be sure the pin block is of
rock maple and substantially
built; be sure the .varnish is put
on in a workmanlike manner, and
be sure that the maker is a reputa-
bile one. -..... .ss-....,.
We will demonstrate these quail
ties in any of our instruments. A
pretty good test of merit would
be to inquire among some of our
satisfied buyers as to how our in
struments stand up. Stop and
think what the reason is for our
rapid growth from a small begin
ming on the coast to the large
piano corporation in America.
Better still--come in and see the
instruments, hear them, play
them, inspect them, compare them
and get our prices. You will find
them % per cent below the or.
binary dealers price.
Did you ever hear of the Chick
ering, Kimball, Decker, Steck, Ho.
bart NJ Gable, Lester or Marshall
& Wendell? OF course you have
they have a underworld reputa
ton and a long standing record
1t is the quality of our instru
ments and the treatment of our
customers that has made our bust
ness.

Uncle sam's Farm Manager.

SACAC 0eeAN AEkAh WARuAXGES
Secretary Wilson's twelve years at
the head Of the department Of agricuI-
ture have covered a period Of won
derful progress in farming in the Unit
ed States. 1t was long the fashion to
treat with levity the work of Uncle
Sans farm bureau. A wasteful dis
tribution Of seeds was popularity be-
lieved to be Its chief business. But
the present secretary has assumed for
his province the teaching Of the great
body of producers how to get results
from, their labors.
Granted that prosperity would have
come to the farmers anyway and that
the Increase in crop production and
crop values was inevitable, the de-
partment officials and their stan have
not initiated the lucky lord Of the soil
who sits on the fence and whites
while things grow. There has been
no letup in the work of trying to i'm
prove upon what almost seemed good
enough to be let alone. Secretary Will
son has demonstrated the practical
utility Of scientific investigation and
instruction on a mammoth scale-in
other words, paternalism-in this i'm
portant branch Of national industry.
And his work win show to greater ad-
vantage when the struggle Of man
with nature becomes keener.
