ANN CuNCEMEN r

We wish to announce to the public
that PROF. LYNN STEPHENS has
associated himself with us in the capa-
city of General Sales Manager. AS
is well known Mr.. Stepens has had a
lifelong experience in the music bust
ness, and is an authority on judging
piano quality. This connection has
been brought about after long consid-
Grafton between Mr.. Stephens and Mr..
Cramer. 1t has been the desire of
both to handle the Old Reliable Line
which they sold for many years at
Birely's Palace of Music. This con-
nection brings together two of the
widest experienced piano men in this
section. Remember, we are in a posi-
ton to save you money. We buy in
immense quantities for cash, and our
expenses are cut down by our Variety
Stores. We do not depend entirely on
the piano business. Buy from an old
reliable piano man-who sells an old
reliable line-With an old reliable
house-then you know you are right.
Let us send one to your home on free
trial

utilization was instigated in order to
reclaim valuable material which was
being wasted. An eminent feature of
the -mpaign Is the idea of educating
women to be careful to keep out
broken glass, crockery and other SUBJ
stances which would ruin it for feed
ing to hogs or for reduction purposes.
Where reduction plants are in OPP
Grafton the grease extracted may be
used for soap or in making explosives.
The material obtained from a ton OF
garbage would be sufficient for four
teen of the famous French rs shell. or
100 twelve-ounce cakes of soap. To-
peka could have furnished the grease
for ais shells last year.
But Commissioner Porter finally
succeeded in making a contract with
a company formed by H. L. Pepp-
meyer to utilize the garbage in feeding
hogs and the grease has gone into
hogs and then as pork to the soldiers
in France. Two carloads of hogs left
Topeka this week on their first jump
to France. So be careful to keep the
garbage clean and free from material
which will spoil it for it's all going to
produce pork chops

The quarrel of these two. old friendly

which is coming to the Grand for two
days commencing Wednesday, Novenl-

1.-The Lion and the Mouse" is one of
those virile plays that has enough

smashing rush of forest fire with
the gentle undercurrent of a love
theme and all worked out harmonious
