A
MISREPRESENTATION

Often wins. This is true because it is
perfectly natural for us to become in
fatuated with whatever is pretty on
the face, or to use the common eX-
preston, Looks good" to US. For
this very reason in matters where we
do not know and have no way of
learning in day or two we often eb-
lieve a lie and turn down the truth.
These are strong terms, but neverthe-
less cold facts.
This truth or these facts are taken
advantage of in the Piano business as
much and perhaps more than in any
other line.
A hint to the wise is sufficient. AS
before stated in "ads," we have lost
deals on pianos because we told exact
ly what we knew to be the truth. Now
we want our customers and competi-
tors to understand that we do not
claim, nor do we believe, by and means
that we are the only honest piano
dealers in the country. If you don't
know what piano is, it is safe act
to buy from a dealer that has always
proven truthful in other things and
is doing a piano business on the same
legitimate principles.
We want the piano trade of this
town and county, and if absolute hon
esty will get it, we will have it, other
wise we will lose it.

Women's Clothing.

DR.. Haig Ferguson. in a lecture a,

other day had some severe things to
say about the clothing of the adult

could be a greater tribute to the
strong nerves and powerful muscles
of women than the fact that their
health had survived for centuries their
habits of clothing. A woman's cloth.

were often clothed in a way which

The Simplified Check Book,

This is a true story as stories go.
There was once a gilded youth who
decided to live the simple life. What
did he simplify first? His check book.
He hit on a plan by which he would
just write a note to the bank explain
ing the matter and asking them to
send him money and then he would
send his valet to the bank with the
note and his valet would get the mon
ey and bring it back to him. In that
way he would save himself the trouble
of drawing checks.

MINERS BILL

With the number of fatalities increas-

industry of America, while foreign coun-
tries are reducing their death rates
through competent mine inspection, the
United States senators, with their big
round bellies encased in white waistcoats,
have blocked the bill authorizing the es
tablishment of bureau of mines for the
investigation of accidents and the inn
provement of mining conditions.
Senator Dick is the chairman of the
committee in charge OF the bill, and for
over a month since the day of its report

been placed in the ''nationai morgue'
