instrument as an advertising feature to
demonstrate their wonderful tone quality
and the extra long dance numbers
THE NEW MONOGRAPHS
though Dame Fashion has changed the
style of case of some instruments one max
er adding little carving, while another
prefers making the case little more plain,
still this minor change classes them as dis
continued styles, and we are expected to
move them at once to make room for other
styles and we are permitted to accept less
than the regular price.
The changes made in the case design,
however, does not effect the tone quality
and the motors remain the same They
are, right up to par in every detail Other
wise we would not have them on sale or rec
ommend them to you. They are all
SCHMIDT quality, dependable and guar
anteed.

Nine Saddles to the Horse

When Thompson's colt swan the
river to get a drink of water, that
was thought to be about the silIiest
thing ever. Yet that performance was
excelled many times during the late
worlds war And it was a man, not
yearling colt, that broke the record.
Astonishing things were done, during
the war, many of which, doubtless,
have not yet come to light.
The Government leather (head)
expert ordered 945,OOO high grade
army saddles for just 100000 caval-
ry horses. This is about nine saddles
per horse. Just why that expert fig
ures ne would need such a backload
of saddles for those horses, has never
been ascertained, but his mental per
formance clearly puts him in the
same boat with Thompson's colt. See
if you can solve the riddle; nobody
else seems to be able to.
Again, another leather expert
ordered enough harness at one time
to require in their construction 800,
900 more hides than the Government
could procure in a years time.
Still another expert (?) ordered
