The VIRTUOLO
And Other Player
Pianos

You cannot afford to ignore
our suggestion that you look
carefully into the merits of the
"Virtuolo" before buying a
player-piano. We have sold
nearly all makes of players DUR
ing the last 10 years. We are
posted on the subject and Will
post you thoroughly whether
you buy of us or not. You will
thank us for what we car DEM
onstrate to you about the rela-
tive merits and values of diff
ferent player-pianos. We have
lost only one competitive play
er-piano sale in Is months.
That's saying a lot for the
"Virtuolo," isn't 1t? Well, it's
positively true.
Virtuolos made in the old
time-honored Hallet & Davis pt-
ano and the artistic Conway pi-
ano. Prices, 1915 to $3.50.
Arts and Crafts design, 1926.
Terms. Old pianos taken In
exchange.

 A few years ago the senator said, we were given tO understand in this country the combined and consolidat- ed spirits Of David and Jonathan had come out of their haven of rest and taken refuge m the corpus of Theo- dore Roosevelt and the combined spirits of Damon and Pythias had in like manner come to rest in the ample bosom of William Howard Taft. It was 3 case. the senator said, Of two souls with but d single thought, two hearts that beat as one until the "slimy and poisonous ser bent of ambition craWled across the path they were walking and divided them So instead of peace We have had war. the country and the world have been treated to d series of spectacular vaudeville stunts in poll tics without a parallel in the history of cour country and which l hope devoutly will not be again repeated

 Tomorrow
WORK ENOUGH TO
 LAST ALL SUMMER
Not as Bad as It Looks for Many Subjects Are
 Covered by Bills
 Well Considered :

The uVernorS long expected proc lamation assembling the legislature in special session, was issued yes terday afternoon. and the members who have been listening since Sat urday with their ears to the ground will gather again tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to resume their labors.
 on the face of things it would ap- pen that there is work enough to carry the lawmakers through the gladsome summer and into the golden autumn, possibly until the frost gathers on their Whiskers and paWpaWs are ripe. but like the stomach ache il is not nearly so bad as it seems The governor names thirtN-nine subjects on which he de- sires legislation and most of them are real subjects too, no matters for the trifling of children-such things as elections, taxation. revenue de vices, etc, etc.
 But there are two things that give encouragement and inspire hope that it will all be over before the excursion tickets expire by limitation. or the members have to go afield in tn" ensuing campaign. One is that the legislature is already organ jed The two sides are already cap . tained, the lineup is well known. there has been considerable team work and the umpire is on the job. When he says play ball" the game will start Another advantage is that many of the subjects are now in bill form bills that were more or less considered by the last session so there is d good working basis for reintroduction Following is the gov ernors call in full:
