Of course, that applies in a gen.
eral way to everything you buy, even
to paper of pins, but it is especially
true in pianos.
If you don't get the best pins you
haven't lost much, but if your piano
is not satisfactory your loss is seri-
Gus.
The money loss is a heavy one, and
in addition to that there is the loss
of the enjoyment you would have had
out of a first-rate piano. You can't
figure that in dollars and cents.

REPUBLICAN PAPER
COMES OUT FOR COX.

Norristown, Pa, Sept. 2---Declar-
ing that Republican leadership IN the
country has broken faith with the
rank and file of the party, with the
American people as a whole, and
with humanity everywhere, and that
the Democratic platform offers
peace, lasting peace, builded on the
justice of the Golden Rule which
humanity is praying for the Norris
town Times, a Republican newspaper
since its founding in 1881, announces
that, in accordance with the dictates
of conscience and in the belief that 1T
is doing a patriotic and humanitarian
duty, it cannot do other than sup
port Cox and Roosevelt for President
and Vice-President.
The Times denunciation of the
Republican platform and tactics has
caused sensation in this Republi-
can stronghold. 1t sets forth that
"for the sake of gratifying hate the
Republican leadership would pass
over the glory of American boys on
the bloody stretches of France and
Belgium, breaking faith with those
who returned as well as those who
died"
Republicans are charged by The
Times with premeditating the muir
der of the treaty, dishonoring the
word "Americanism,' and ignoring
the sentiment of the people of the
country with their double faced
platform The League of Nations
is Endorsed, and it is contended that,
with the assistance of the United
States, lasting peace will be crystal
lized into an actual fact.

TRUCKS PREVENT
PLAYING HOCKEY

In any section of the middle west
the path leading to education has
been made smoother and more con-
venient for youngsters than was ever
done for their cousins who lived in
the bigger cities. With the devel-
opment of the consolidated school
idea came the need for providing
dependable transportation for pupils
from their homes to district school
houses, so that school attendance
might be regular and uninterrupted.
The absence of street cars or steam
trains in most rural districts pre-
sented a transportation problem
which was successfully met by motor
trucks.
The adoption of motor transporta-
ton for hauling children from their
homes to school while rem owing lame
excuses for absence owing to incle-
ment weather, and preventing to a
great extent the occasional off day
at hockey" has done wonders in
promoting attendance and study in
terest among the thousands of school
children living in districts where the
plan is being followed.
In Colorado and Utah motor
transportation for school children has
been satisfactorily conducted during
the past few years. In Macedonia,
Ia, 6epuDllC TRUCKS are peTIOIullIlS
this service in a striking manner, ac-
cording to H. K. Dye, president of the
local Consolidated School Board, who
has been able to gather impressive
motor transportation facts during
the past two years while using two
Republic trucks in school bus service.
He found that even during the past
winter when unusually heavy SHOWS
produced deep and rutty roads, the
Republic trucks used in his school
district remained at work every day
hauling capacity loads of children
back and forth between homes and
school. The outstanding results in
dicated that in addition to helping
maintain normal attendance. these
trucks through their ability to cover
the ground quickly, aided to a great
extent in lessening cases of illness
caused by exposure to bitter weather.
