Some Impulsive Persons Blinded
by Prices Blindly Buy Pianos

A $l,000--suto for $l75. A
$50O--upright used Piano for
$9S. That's the common way Of
advertising to catch the eye Of
the impulsive person who is
blinded by price and doesn't
stop Of PROVE and investigate,
Price means nothing unless
coupled with quality, character
value and insured by the reli-
ability, responsibility and repu.

WHAT IS GREATNESS?

Efforts Of the Pioneer Press and
Dispatch to decide BY a popular vote
who is the greatest Minnesotan' is
akin to those heated debates once
waged from school house forums on
whether George Washington was
greater than Benjamin Franklin or
"Was Emerson a Greater Benefactor
to- the Human Race than Bowie
Individual ideas as to greatness
vary General Miles, for instance, re-
fused to speak from the anne plat
form as John IT, Sullivan. Thereup-
on John Lawrence Indignantly de-
clared that he would NOT place his
number tens upon II boards that
Generaf Miles had strutted acfoss.
Popular ideas Of greatness have a
wider divergence even Chan those
possessed by individuals. This is
shown by fhe fact that the farmers
OF the Northwest are trying to de-
eide BY their votes whether Tommy
GIBBONS Or George S. Lotus is the
greater fighter.
We find the names Of James ,. Hill,
Boftus, Greedy and Manaflan All in
tie same hat, NOT to omit also Arch
bishop ireland, Cyrus Nortlrop and
Mike" Kelley.
The Pioneer Press admonisfes its
readers: ASThat personal popularity
