LIVED IN WRONG
HOUSE 10 MONTHS.

Emanuel Gamer rented a house
near South Norwalk, Conn, ten
months ago, and moved into the
dwelling he supposed he was paying
rent for. He has just learned he
paid ten months rent on a vacant
house, half mile away. The owner
supposed Gamer was occupying it,
as he was paying rent regularly,
and had not been about the place.
The owner of the house Gamer
has really been living in supposed
it was vacant. Applicants were
sent to look at it, and as they didn't
come back he supposed it didn't
suit. The reason they didn't was
that they found the house occupied
and got mad. The man Gamer rent
ed from refuses to refund the ten
months rent and the owner of the
house Gamer has lived in is de-
manding ten months rent.

''BL ESSINC THE CORN FIELDS"
SOCIETY GIRL AS MlNNEHAHA

Maize, or Indian corn, was ven
Grated by the Indians who wove a
great series of legends about its
planting, growing and harvesting.
The Indian women were guard
ians of the cornfields and after each
planting they made the round Of
the fields alone at midnight, drag
ging one of their garments to out
line a charmed circle.
A characteristic American dance
called the Blessing of Fields" has
been developed by Miss Eleanor T.
Finn. a young society woman Of
Cleveland, o. Her theme was taken
from Longfellow's poetic version of
the ancient tale.
Once, when all the maize was
planted,
Hiawatha, wise and thoughtful,
Spake and said to Minnehaha,
To his wife, the Laughing Water:
you shall bless tonight the corn
fields,
Draw a magic circle round them.
To protect them from destruction,
Blast of mildew, blight of insect.
I'm the night, when all is silence,
In the night when all is darkness,
Rise up from your bed in silence,
Walk around the fields you
planted,
Round the borders of the corn
fields,
ROBBED with darkness as a garment.
Thus the fields shall be more fruit
full,
And .the passing of your footsteps
Draw a magic circle round them,
So that neither blight or mildew.
Neither burrowing worm nor insect,
Shall pass DER the magic circle"

in reference to personal property.

and you can save one-half your
piano money by taking advantage
of this unusual condition.
Lack of storage and display room

great sale. Indications point to n
fall trade greater than We have ever
experienced before. We have the
pianos ordered; some are here;
many more are en- route and We
must have room to display them.
Our August inventory disclosed
the fact that we had fifty-eight used
and exchanged pianos. some taken
in exchange on expensive player
pianos and grands, several shop
worn new pianos and old catalogue
styles.
There's nothing else to do with
them but to sell them for whatever
we can get. We don't expect to
make a cent OF profit on some of
them. yet all carry our money back

We can't sell new pianos unless
we have the room to display them
