$4,000 to $500 90 but you should
know absolutely that you are getting
one Of these pianos.
Some agents carry a book called
a guide, claiming It is an authority
on piano grades. These guides are not
authority and for the proof we refer
you to trade papers. also reliable pi.

Stencil pianos are known as pianos
that have no factory as one dealer
puts It: "A piano without
mother" They have very little rea,
value. There are several numbered

A musician is usually attracted nv

recommend them. The fact Of the
matter is that even the most compet.
ent artists are not posted as to
whether or not piano will keep its
tone for years to come. The honest
dealer after all is the sole Judge. II
you were going to buy a diamonde
would you go to one who claimed tn
know or would you go to a dealer
who did know something about the
real value and one whom you had
confidence in?
Allowing an agent to place a piano
in your home for a few days trial
has the same effect as the giving OF
passes on railroads. You feel more
or less obligated to them, which pre-
vents You from using your free agen-
cy to investigate other makes ana

When piano dealers adopt the "one
price plan" the factories will quit
making stencil pianos; agents will
give up canvassing; guessing con
tests and bargain sales will be
thing Of the past. Pianos like hun

sold on their merits. The most reli.
able and the largest music dealers
in the world are following the one
price plan.

Some DOZENS OF centuries, refused

Until Gutenberg made the first

1t is strange how those versatile
pieces Of wood
| Proceeded at once on their jobs to

How those characters. angled,
crossed. dotted and curled,
In the hands of the printer enlight-
ened the world;
Spread knowledge abroad, as it were
on the breeze,
Through highways and byways, Ger
mountains and seas.
Monopoly greatest the ages has
wrought,
Since it owned the one line for
transfer of thought.
Yet il taught prince and peasant and
pauper to read,
And reading, to think, and in think
ing to heed.
And so | assert the world never
got ripe
Until Gutenberg made the first
movable type.
The astronomers study, historians
lore,
The geographers knowledge of sea
and of shore;
The Wisdom of sages, the epigram
terse,
The science of numbers, the
rhythm of verse;
Love tales of the ages, delightful to
youth,
The novelists fiction, philosophers
truth;
Tales told by the genii Of candle
and lamp,
The glory of battle, the story Of
camp;
The splendor and power Of the great
of the earth.
The pleasure, the passion, the sor-
row and dearth--
All of life, all OF death, since crea-
ton began
And God breathed the first breath
OF life into man.
Nay! even the knowledge of God and
His laws
Are common to all, are common be-
cause
OF the printer, embalmer OF thought

With his RUE in his pocket, his foot

This printer knighterrant roamed

And set up temple of knowledge

And with only stick" for a wea-

Raised Liberty up and pulled Ty-

Thus taken from sources OF knowl-

GEORGE WASHINGTON

His birthday We will celebrate.
Because ne saved our land,
For he was brave, and honest too,
AS any Of our band.
He always did as he was told,
And never this will we forget,
For always did he do his duty,
And never would he fret.

Though in the grave he doth lie,
We always remember his truthful
ness,
For he never told a lie.
We remember the battles ne fought
in,
To help us free our land,
From the wicked king Of England
And all the men in his band.
He was commander in chief of the
army,
And fought as a general brave,
He was gentle, kind and true,
And helped our country to save.

there would be no Minnesota rate de-

Easter holiday, none possible for anoth-

there was little activity and little yaria-

gains were the order, with Union racine
Southern Pacific holding its positio
fairly well. Union opened over point
OFF and sold still lower. Reading was

MARBURY IN RACE
ON WILSON'S PLEA
Candidate. for Nomination in
MaryIand's Senatorial Race
Sees the President.

w. L Marbury, Of Baltimore. can-
dictate for the Democratic nomination
for Senator, left the Executive offices
today, after a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson, declaring his interview
was satisfactory and that there is
no change in the situation"
Mr.. Marbury declared. on entering the
race for the nomination. that he had
done so no the invitation of the Pres
ident. His brief comment on his con-
ference today is taken to indicate that
President Wilson's attitude has not
hcarged and that the declaration OF
Mr.. Martury is not subject to CONTRA
diction.
Something of the relations between
the Administration and Mr.. Marbury Is
expected to be revealed tomorrow when
the candidate will make a speech at
Centerville. Nd. In this speech he is
expected to outline the rasons for him
entering the fight when there was al
ready another candidate. Isaac Loeb
Straus, classed as progressive Demo-
crat.
The subject of Marburys conference
was this speech. He wanted to know
precisely how far he could go in talk
ing to the people of the Eastern Shore
without causing embarrassment TO Pres
ident Wilson. These limits are definite
ly set. as result Of the conference, and
the speech at Centreville on that ac-
count is regarded as a matter OF eN-
treme interest in Maryland politics.
It is not improbable, following this
speech. which will be delivered, in
measure, with the authority of the
President. that interesting changes may
occur in the Democratic lineup. Straus
was not looked upon as a winenr by the
Progressives. But he has not withdrawn
from the race and so far as not indi-
Gated that he will do so. If Barbury
shows unequivocally that he has the
support of President Wilson. the rea-
sons for Straus' withdrawal will become
much more potent and within a short
time there may be a straight-away fight
for the nomination between John Wall
ter Smith and Marbury
