How to Decide What Price to Pay

IF you knew how willing every
L Columbia Grafonola dealer is that
you should come into his store and
look and listen and experiment and.
play records on various priced instru-
mentS, until you were sure that you
had decided on the price that you
wanted to- pay, you would never think
of reaching decision in any other
place but a Columbia salesroom.
Wewant you to note the difference
in the Grafonolas, the difference in
finishes, the difference in prices.
Play the same record on different
instruments, play different records
on the same instrument - come to
your conclusion.

Above all things have no hesitation
about visiting the Columbia dealer
and playing records and having rec
ords played as many times as you
feel like before you buy. The more
you know about the Columbia
Grafonola, the higher the chances
will become that it is the phono-
graph that you will finally decide to
buy.
But whether you are ready to buy
a phonograph now or not, by all
means visit the Columbia dealer and
hear the Columbia Grafonola played.
Do this, if for no other reason than
because of our assurance that you Il
be made welcome there.

KEPT SWEDEN NEUTRAL

Washington, Nov 9.--WhateVer
military weakness they may haze
brouht upon Russia temporarily
;he revolutionistS who overthrow
Nicholas Romanoff performed one
valuable service to Ally-dom. Inc!
Kept Sweden from an active pro-
German part in the war. diplomats
here are almost .unaGimcns on that. :.
They say that as pressure increased
gradually on all neutrals Sweden hnai-
ly would have been forced into tne
war Anti-Russian feeling, tostereo
Nv another Germanic queen, ~ouio
have led her to the side of the Kaiser.
But when the dynasty which de-
spoiled Finland and coveted warm
v.ater port such as Sweden might cas-
ily supply fell, sentiment shifted. IS
officials describe the situation now, the
court is probably pro-German' al
though quietly; the Cabinet Is less So
and business men and the great mas
ses pro-Ally, although they still nurse
their anti Russianism.
Before the Romanoffs took to tend
ing flower gardens in monasterles all
Sweden felt that an Allied victory
meant whetting of suspected Rus
sian appetite for Scandinavian ter
,,tory. Every Russian move in Po-
land and Finland was watched with
closest anxiety.
The revolutionists declaration for
'no annexations and no indemnltles
helped some. Their action giving
Poland nationality. an't dealing gencr-
cusly with Finland, aided far more.
Although a small power. Sweden
could give Won Hindenburg 100000 OF
100000 men in any move on Petro;
grad. They would be used to winter
campaigning.
Sweden claims to be hungry because
! Of the Allied embargo. Possibly tins
Is so. Admittedly she has sent much
food to Germany. as we'll as munitions
and iron ores from which German!
makes high-gradc steel for the finer
parts of guns and machinery.
| Her mission here asks to be allowed
to import -350.000 tons of gram
100000 tons of sugar, 100000 tons O
fodder and 100000 tons Of fat. Sh'
will not get this while the United
States or an Ally can use it.
Recent elections apparently hav
favored the Allies. Some unfriendl.
Cabinet forces may be ousted.
