A Word About the
Eilers Piano Clubs

During the months OF June and
July last year the Pioneer Piano
House inaugurated what was con
plan OF selling pianos ever intro
duced on the Pacific coast.
Successful for two reasons: II
gave the purchaser more genuine
Intrinsic piano value for his money
than he was ever anywhere able to
get before. and because OF the nn-
usually liberal terms and moderate
prices asked. full 10 times as many
pianos were sold as could be dis
posed OF ia any other way
II took Us just n trifle more than
two months to FIN all Of the clubs.
. plan involving $40 members and
come 70 carloads OF pianos.
Many Of our patrons were diSap-
pointed in finding the clubs filled
before they had an opportunity to
take advantage OF the unusually at
tractive club prices and terms. and
1t Is growing out OF the persistent
demands OF those who failed to
grasp the Importance OF our last
years sale that we decided early
this year TO arrange another which
would. IL possible. eclipse that one.
Our list OF pianos this year In.
ciudes examples from Americas
foremost pianoforte manufacturers.
embracing more than a dozen high
grade makes. from which satisfac-
tory selection Is absolutely assured.
Practically all OF the pianos are
now here They come In every
style and finish. you may choose
either walnut or oak or mahogany
cases. beautifully designed In the
costliest woods. all bright and new.
fresh from the factories.
HERE IS THE PLAN
Club members joining Club
Bill" pay $3.50 initial payment and
the balance at the rate OF s135
weekly. This gives them the privi-
Iege OF choosing any one Of the $3.50
pianos In this club at an actual say
ing in price OF sf5250. or in other
words. they secure a $3.50 piano at
the club price OF f2s7.50.
Club Gil" members secure a
$3.50 piano and make saving at
the very outset OF sisi. paying sli
down and $3.50 weekly. while mem
bers OF Club Dill" have the choice
Of either a $3.50 plano or player
piano for s4s75o. paying 1850
down and 81 weekly.
AN ss-NoTE PLAYER.PiANo
Never before has the opportunity
been offered 10 secure a truly mag

NEWS OF DECATUR
Probable Liquor Legislation Causes
 SpeculatiOn-Sunday Closing


 Decatur, January Special .)-There is much speculation here as to what will be done by the next state legislature in reference to the liquor question as applies to the two Decaturs. It is believed that there is some probability of this county having either dispensary or open sa- looms, and. it is said, that it is more than likely that a dispensary bill will be in- troduced, and that also a bill allowing open saloons in the two Decaturs will be introduced
 It Is generally conceded that Decatur wants open saloons, while New Decatur seems to be an unknown quantity. On this account some are of the opinion that the Decaturs may be given dispensary as a compromise measure.
 The 10 negro men who were arrested in New Decatur a few nights ago on the charge of gambling were fined s1o each in 1.-the police court The three negro women who were caught with them were acquitted.
 There is much agitation over Sunday closing in New Decatur at this time, and on next Tuesday night a Sunday closing ordinance. which was introduced before the city council some time ago, will be taken up. and there will be hard fight made for it's adoption. The ordinance was introduced by Alderman Speak.

DO NOT WANT
 HALF HOLIDAY

Zurich. January 7.-(Special. .)-Swiss housewives and maidens want no Satur- day half holiday for their men. A firm employing many men in this city recently decided to give it's employees half holi- day on Saturday. Now practically all the wives and fiances of the men have signed a petition asking that the Saturday half holiday should be withdrawn, on the ground that the men spend their liber- ty and money away from home, with dis astrous results to family life and to the family exchequer.
 The petition points out that Sunday has always been holiday in Switzerland, and asks why useless half holiday in the week should be added To under stand this. it should be stated that by the federal laws there is no compulsory closing of shops, cafes, places of amuse- ment, etc., on the Sabbath, but that each canton is free to do as it pleases. In some of the cantons the cafes are obliged to be closed during divine ser vice, but this is not the rule in the other cantons while in the chief towns shops and cafes can remain open at the will of their proprietors As general rule. the Swiss people go to church on Sunday mornings, and afterward tend their gar dens and orchards, go to matinee in the theatre. and play at football or tennis. The Zurich firm is much perplexed con corning the womens petition, and is in- clined to grant it, for 1t feels itself in the wrong. sG
