New Invention
Enables Anyond to Play
Piano or Organ With
out Lessons

A Detroit musician has invented a
wonderful new system which enables
any person or little child to learn to
play the piano or organ in one evening.
Even though you know absolutely
nothing about music or have never
touched a piano or organ, you can now
learn to play in an hour or two. People
who do not know one note from another
are able to play their favorite music
with this method without any assist
ance whatever from anyone.
This new system is called the Nu-
neral Method. We have secured the
sole agency from the inventor, and. as
we are DESTROYS of at once making it
known in every locality, we are making
the following special free trial and half
price offer to everyone.
You are not asked to send any money
until you have tried and are satisfied
with the new method. We are willing
to send it to you on one weeks free
trial, and you will not have to pay one
cent unless you desire to keep 1t. There
are no express charges to be paid. as
everything will be sent by mail. Simply
write us letter or postcard saying,
please send me the Mineral Method
on seven days free trial" If you are
satisfied after trying it, the Method and
fifty different pieces of sheet music will
cost you only IS. although the regular
price of these Is $40. You should not
delay writing, as we shall not continue
this special half-price offer indefinitely.
Later on. the Method and fifty pieces of
music will be sold at the regular price.

Des Moines, Oct 1T seems now
probable that Il test suit will finally
be made up that will get squareiy be-
fore the highest courts the question in
volving the ownership of the lake beds
in Iowa. So far as the state is con-
cerned it! has long treated the matter
as if the title to the lake beds or be-
tween the meander lines, as belonging
absolutely to the state. \ Year ago Or
introduced a bill in congress TO defi
nltely settle the matter and to de-
clare the title but it has been held Zip
by the usual influences to make way
for a program not OF congressional
determination. The senator while he
was governor saw the great need or
some action to settle a long mooted
question. When BSers was attorney
general he carried TO the United States
supreme court Il case that it was sup
posed would settle the matter but the
court lodged the direct issue. so. al
so, the state courts have evaded Il di-
rect decision. While the state has
cutive and judicial departments are
the lake beds is within the state. yet it
has all along been admitted that the
title Of the United States to the same
has never been quite eliminated.
On Safe Side.
But the state officials are going to
be on the safe side, and because of this
extreme caution suit from Pocahon-
tas county may bring the matter to a
head. The legislature directed that
surplus money derived from sale OF
lake beds be held by the state for use
on roads in the county whence de-
rived. Several thousand dollars so de-
rived in Pocahontas county is involved.
The state officials have insisted that
before the money is paid out for road
work in that county the right of the
state to the money should be settled
absolutely, for if 1t should afterwards
be determined that the money was paid
out illegally, the only recourse would be
for the legislature to appropriate to
pay back the money, if it had already
been spent. In order, therefore, 20
protect the state treasury the final
settlement has not been made.
There can. of course, be but one use
made of the money and that is to swell
the road fund in the county in which
the lake was located. Not dollar
could ever be diverted to any other
purpose.
1t is expected that this matter will
get into court in such way that the
courts will have to finally decide on
the ownership of the lake beds, unless
congress has been induced to act be-
fore that time and decide the matter.
