A Tribute To The Piano
BY Grover Cleveland
We have come across this quotation from
the late President Cleveland and are reprodue
ing IL because of lis general interest:

In many humble home throughout our
land the piano has gathered about it the most
sacred and tender associations: For il the
daughters of the household Ionsed by day and
prayed in dreams at night. For it fond parents
saved and economical at every point, and
planned in loving secrecy. For it, certain
Christmas Day on which the arrival of the piano
gave glad surprise, was marked az a red letter
day in the annals of the household. With its
music and with simple song each daughter in
her turn touched with love the heart of her
future husband, with il the sacred hymn and the
family prayer are joined in chastened memory
When the family circle is broken and its mem
bers are scattered, happy is the son or daughter
who can place among his or her household
goods, the old Piano.

Does not the above sentiment so aptly ex-
pressed by our late President, impress you with
the importance of Piano or Player-Piano in
your own home?
Just think of what a Splendid Wholesome,
Atmosphere the AUTO-PIANO would create
What an inhuence-what an inspiration.
This Marvellous Player-Pano is the finest
diversion in the world, not only for the tired
business man, but for the whole family.
Thousands of homes are gladdened by its beau
tiful melodies and artistic rendition of every
kind of music, and they can be played by any
one.
Just to satisfy yourself, come in and try
them-A surprise awaits you.

THE PENALTY Of
CARELESSNESS
BY s. w. lnglish,
Fire Prevention Expert.

Every time you hear the cry Of
Fire." you can be almost absolutely
safe in thinking that someone has
been careless. Fires don't happen.
They are the inevitable result OF
combinations of preventable things.
When analysed to the last equation
1t will be found that carelessness ia
the root whence spring nearly all
fires. ..s,
What a penalty industry pays to
carelessness, Fire is the great de-
stroyer. The wealth of generation
can be wiped out in but brief hour.
Why not fight fires before they
start?A Why not so conduct your
habits and SO keep your premises
that when the fire demon wants to
offer your savings as sacrifice he
will pass you by, just as those Of
Egypt of old were passed over when
the sign they had been told to place
over their doors, were seen?
Too often when those who are
responsible from fire cry out they
are the victims of bad luck, they are
but paying the natural penalty for
their own carelessness.
If you want to keep down your fire
insurance rates, wage eternal war
fare against those things that ever
breed fires

CANNING SEASON NOW ON

Canning fruits, berries and veg
etablesis all the ragenow and quite
a lot of this valuable food-stuff
that has heretofore gone to waste
will be putup for winter use. This
will be great saving in money to
the people who have the enterprise
to do the work
Most anything that grows can
be put up in cans, and the work
can be done at very little expense.
There is no use allowing vegeta-
bles, fruits and berries to go to
waste, when, with a little trouble,
a supply for the winter can be
put up and any surplus should be
disposed of to advantage.
Home canneries are cheap; they
can be bought at from $500 up,
depending on the capacity, and
there is no excuse for any one
with an orchard or garden not to
have all the canned fruits and
vegetables they need for winter
use. If some one with a good,
big orchard and truck patches
will enter this field they can very
likely build up a business that
will continue to grow. Try it.

AN AGRICULTURAL COUNCIL
BY 7. NJ. Carver,


Professor of Economics Harvard University.
Every city has its chamber of COM
merce or it's Board of Trade. The
purpose of such an organization is
to study economic and business op-
portunities of the city and promote
enterprises which will help to build
the city Does any one know of a
good and sufficient reason why ev-
cry rural nefghborhood ought not
have similar organization?
in Germany they already have such
organizations They are generally
called the dwirthschaftsrath" or
agricultural council. Some students
of the problem of rural organization
are strongly of the opinion that such
an agricultural council is necessary
before much can be done for the bet
tering of rural credit or the market
ing of farm produce. There is no
object, for example, in having more
capital in a farming neighborhood
unless the farmers know without any
guess-work just how to use that capt.
tai so as to increase the production
and the profit of their farms. If all
the leading farmers of a neighbor-
hood would lay their heads together
and talk over the situation and study
the opportunities for new investment,
they would be less likely to make
mistakes than if they work secretly,
as separate individuals.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
II-RdilroadS

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let US consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex-
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, lnterurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed Of the railways of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
vestment OF capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing its appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free of any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
Of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and eff.
fectively secured.

Col. House of Texas, who has
just returned from a visit to the
principal nations at war, says we
know as well as he does how long
the war will last. and that he
knows about as much about it as
do the leaders of the nations at
war. The inference, therefore,
would be that no one knows and
that it all depends on circumstan-
ces yet to develop.

nation is now entering upon
IA of marine development. The
Of European commerce has
! fitted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot.
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of our ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water We
have in this nation 81 ports, of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over 1,000,.
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
toll of approximately $50,000,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted of

Since the victorious advance of
the German armies in the east,
the allies are looking for a new
offensive movement in the west
ern arena. They have a habit over
there of rushing troops to new
field of battle as soon as the pres

So long as this can last, just so
long will this war continue.

good roads they will spend their
time and money in doing some
thing that will be of great and
lasting benefit to the country.
The main thing in road building
is to do the work well Instead
of building several miles of poor
road, build one mile of good, adj
ding to it as you can. Roads
should be built as if they were to
stand forever, and not as if they
were to be moved to some new
locality in a few days
