Pianos

We move out of the store at As Church
Street and into our own building the
first of April. The expense of operating
large piano store, as we have always
conducted, is about $1,000 year. Neces-
sarily, this means good round prices for
pianos. In the future we are going to
sell pianos at prices that will make peo-
pie sit up and take notice. We are not
going to employ an army of statesmen at
large salaries and large expense accounts.
Therefore. during the month of January
we will sell you an Emerson piano, new.
direct from the factory if you wish.
which we have always sold for $3.50. for
1925 on terms of $40 dow and SIS per
month. There will be no excuse for
your paying high prices in the future.
We want the best quality of business
there is to be had in the State of Yer
mont. No So or So payments. Nothing
less than IS per month, and our prices
are going to bring this class of trade. If
you are going to buy a piano send to us
for tue Emerson catalogue showing you
this style which can be had in either ma
hOgany or walDuu at GEO. ID. JARVIS

War Changes Guide Books.

One of the multitude of effects of
the war is its alteration of the guide
books to the continent, says the West
minister Gazette. The majority of
these have needed little change for
several years in the bulk of their
pages. But now A publisher of
guide books says that as regards Bel
GUM, Austria and France there will
be wholesale corrections needed. And
the end is not in sight, for one may
confidently anticipate very striking
changes in Germany.
The year books, several of which
are now in active preparation, are ex-
periencing similar difficulties. The
statistics of various public depart
ments have been held up" owing to
the enlistment of oficials concerned
in this work. And when one does not
know what a day VII bring forth it is
impossible to close" pages for press.

Old and New Use for Wire.

Since the manufacture of wire be-
gan in this country" said the veteran
steel manufacturer, Eve have been
pulled out of many difficulties by un-
foreseen developments. The wire
trade is more active today than any
other branch of steel, due to large
extent to the consumption of wire for
war purposes. The substitution of
wire for fencing was another devel-
opment responsible for the great
growth of the industry. But the most
extraordinary boom came when the
wire industry was in its infancy. Bust
ness had been poor for long time and
producers were very much discour-
aged. Suddenly orders began to
make their appearance by the whole
sale, and the mills were taxed to
their utmost capacity. The increased
demand was due to the adoption of
the hoop skirt. Dame Fashion had
started the foundation of an indus
try in this country which now turns
out over 100000 tons of wire a year.
The demand from this source, of
course, did not last, but it was suffi-
cient to give the industry a good
start. Street Journal

point of view of physique, equipment,
general smartness, organization intel

be. The force has with it 5000 horses,
with an adequate st, 4 O. veterinary
surgeons, and it also has its own
Young Mems Christian association,
with six secretaries. If variety is the
very spice of life there ought to be
plenty of spice in the Canadian con-
tingent. 1t is composed of men spring
ing from various stocks, from Amer
lean, Canadian and English to Russian,
Swedish and French; men of all
walks of life-architects, ranchers,
business men, lawyers, doctors. Once

olics and Presbyterians. We LOOK

What is the agrarian question in
Mexico, which the Constitutionalists
say Mexicans must settle for them
selves?
1t is the land question, involving the
ownership of immense tracts of lands
by men of great wealth and the serf-
dom of the class called poems. These
immense land holdings are called ha-
ciendas pronounced ath-e-en-dahl, and
many of them embrace hundreds of
thousands of acres. The owners of
these vast estates enjoy princely in
comes, but the working class. without
any interest in the land, is about on a
par with the field hands of old slavery
times in this country. The haciendas
are divided into farms of from 1000
to $500 acres each, with a foreman in
charge of each farm. whose duties re-
semble those of the old time southern
plantation overseer. The so called
Constitutionalists claim that one Of
their main objects is to wipe out the
hated land monopoly and peonage sys-
tenn.
