Player Piano for Public Use

For several years the desirability Of a
piano for public use in Keota has been
discussed and generally agreed upon;
but no effsctual effort had been made
to get one. About two weeks ago the
matter was again taken up by few in
Keota who agreed that the needs of the
community and of its various organiza-
tions for piano were such that there
was no reasonable excuse for further
delay. Accordingly, on January 6,
subscription list was taken around to as
many as could be seen on that morning,
and the cash donations were sufficient
to warrant the ordering of a Howard
Manualo player piano, which was re-
ceived the following Thursday from the
Baldwin Piano Co., of Denver, and was
placed in the school house auditorium
last Saturday.
The Farmers State Bank has agreed
to carry loan if necessary to make
one in order to pay for the instrument;
but it is thought that no difficulty should
be experienced in raising enuf money
by private subscription and in other
ways to pay the cash price, and thus
avoid any interest charges. The sub
scription list has been left with Messrs.
Martinson and Markley, at the bank,
where any who desire may make their
contributions.
