Double keyboard

BY a Encouragement Of the conven-
tional piano keyboard several at
tempts have been made to make the
lingering easier. One of the most
recent, according to an illustrated
article in the Popular Mechanics
Magazine, is a double keyboard. the
production of a Belgian inventor. II
smplifies the study of the piano. and
at the same time makes possible a
wider range of scale combinations
and harmonics. The upper key is a
half tone above the lower one. On the
new keyboard the same lingering is
used to play the. major and minor
scales. Modern piano compositions
are easier to play, and the new Key
board permits the creation of many
new effects and combinations thar
would be impossible on the conven-
tional keyboard.

MERCHANTS BUREAU TO
PRESENT SOUVENIRS 10
CONY CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM

A committee of three was appoint
ed Friday nOonA at I meeting Of the
Merchants Bureau ct the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce, which was
held at the Willow Restaurant, to
see to the purchasing Of little gold
footballs for the members of the
Cony State Championship team
which has just completed a most
successful season.
1t was felt by the members of the
bureau that these souvenirs, which
the boys could always wear as q re-
membrane Of the victorious team
would be better suited and much
more to the taste of the boys than
some temporary thing such as a ban
qret. Therefore the II men who have
won their letters this year will be
presented with these little footballs,
suitably engraved and the five other
deserving men, who did not receive
their &C" but who have worked hard
for the good of the team, will receive
little leather fObs with silver foot
balls mounted upon them if such can
he obtained. These also to be suita-
bly, engraved This action upon the
part Of the Merchants Bureau will
certainly be greatly appreciated by
the boys.
1t was also proposed that a. COM
mittee from the Bureau and the
Chamber of Commerce be appointed
to arrange to form :, Boosters" club
which will back up the Cony teams
and give them the benefit of their
experience and counsel as well as to
attend out of town games and give
them the necessary moral support.
Plans for big Christmas feature
were talked over at this time, but it
was decided to wait until there were
larger number Of the members
present. a meeting was therefore
called for Tuesday morning. Nov
IS. at $3.50 o'clock at which time this
Plan will be talked over and some
action taken.
