IRONLESS AGE IS UPON Us;
BACK TO THE M,,.H|LL

NEW YORK, July 25.-"Back to
the soil or We perish" is the warn
ing sounded by James J. Hill in his
Highways of Progress" just pub
lished by Doubleday, Page & Co.
Hill says the United States must
radically change its ideal of being a
manufacturing country. The rapid
destruction of natural resources
which can never be restored to
earth will force this change.
Within 20 years, perhaps, we
shall have nowhere east of the
Rocky mountains timber product
worth recording.
by the middle of the present
century our best and most conven-
tent coal will have been so far con-
sumed that the remainder can only
be applied to present uses at an
enhanced cost which would prob
ably compel the entire rearrange-
ment of industries and revolutionize
the common lot and common life.
ain the year 1850 we will ap.
proach an ironIess age. Our home
supply of Iron will have retreated
almost to the company of the pre-.
cious metals.

SOLUTELY FREE. A beautiful
stool to match is included with
every piano free.
The club members agreement is
in form of 232 coupons. Each cou-
pom represents a weekly payment.
Each week when a remittance is
made one of these coupons is
marked paid" Should any club
member desire to pay in advance
the privilege is given to do so. For
all such installments paid before
due a rebate of unearned interest
and also an additional premium of
20 cents in cash, payable immedi-
ately, is allowed. This enables
every club member still further
greatly to reduce the already low
price, and will more than offset the
eight per cent simple interest
charge on deferred payments.
Join whichever club best suits
your convenience-make the initial
payment and agree to pay the bal
ance on the weekly club terms and
