PIANO SUCKERS
ARE PLENTIFUL

Many piano firms have brought
hundreds of people to their place
of business with hard-earned cash
in their pockets, through the fascl-
nation that attaches to receive some
thing for nothing.
1t seems that many people can
not see any further into a grind
stone than the army of dupes who
have invested their savings in wild
cat stock and other get-rich-quick
schemes, promoted by crooks the
federal government is now putting
in prison.
For some time past, number OF
piano firms in this country have Of
fered through their ads, and other
methods, from $4,000 to s125.OO for
working out a simple puzzle, or dot
counting picture, that any 1O-year-
old child could work out in five min
utes time. They say that the sum
due you for giving a correct answer
shall be applied on the piano you
purchase, but you may be sure thai
when you purchase a piano through
one of these sharks that
you have paid a good round price
for a very cheap piano and you have
also paid for the ad that brought
you there. II Is easy-you can work
out the puzzle, give the correct an
swer and rush to the place in order
to be one of the first to give the
correct answer, as the sum you get
for nothing is based on the fact
whether your answer Is the first or
the tenth. You want to buy piano
and you are anxious to hear the
Judges say that $4,000 is your re-
ward for the second or third to give
the correct answer and you will
be given credit for that amount on
any piano you purchase. Who is the
sucker? Some of you readers can
tell, but you prefer not TO.

The Herald is very well pleased
with the interest shown in its prize
contest on the subject of encourage
ing the use of home made goods.
The committe awarded the prize Of
$40 to "Milesius," perhaps better
known as w. McGettigan. Of the c.

a large number of very creditable
stories and the Herald Is indeed
sorry that it cannot publish them all.

The five next best were: Alpha Sund-
quist, North Yakima; Edith e. Jory,

winning story is as follows:
Why should we use home made
goods? This is question which
should receive the attention of every
citizen who desires to see the COM

If we are engaged in any line Of

business when we desire to make a
purchase. Why? Because we have
the required article ourselves, and
in order to build up our own bust
ness we select an article from our
own stock And the same principle
applies to the purchasing of articles
made within the limits of our own

Value of Factories
Manufacturing plants add to the
prosperity of the places where they
are located by giving employment to
the people of those places; by the
heavy taxes which they pay, thev ma
terially assist in the carrying on OF
municipal improvements. But If the
residents of the locality where they
operate do not purchase their pro-
ducts, how can they expect to dispose
Of them to the people of other local
tiles? And If they do not dispose Of
them, they are forced to quit business.
This means that the city will be de-

Brass Bands to Aid Move.
1.-THE first step will be education.
There will be lectures, exhibits.
newspaper notices, literature, posters,

take up the work. Those people who
will not come to exhibits and lectures
will be called out to the street cor
ners by brass bands and they will be
addressed in their own language by
physicians and nurses.
There will be a committee in
charge of every branch of the work.
There will be a committee on educa-
ton, legislation, streets and alleys,
nuisances, parks and Fairgrounds,
tenements, markets, factories and
workshops and schools.
1--WE intend to uproot the brother
hood of disease by brotherly oppo-
sition. We soon will organize a wo-

will be to take care of newly arrived
families and to teach them health
from the start.
Oppose Basement Dwellings,.
1t was decided to open the fight
for sanitation with campaign
against basement dwellings. The So
ciety will show people who live in
such dwellings where they can get
a sanitary fiat for the same amount
of money. Records of unhealthy
places will be kept in the offices of
the alliance and will be open to the
public. DR.. Cohen declared that If
there were not $4,000 members of the
society before the close Of the year
Chicago would prove itself to be
