Surely You Will Not
Deny Your Family
This Pleasure

No home is complete without music.
Old and young will enjoy untold pleas
ures when a piano comes into your
home-it is the finishing touch to the
happiness of the household.
There may have been time when
a piano could be classed as luxury,
but t his is not true today. A piano is
just as much part Of the equipment
of real home as any other article of
furniture. If your home is not COM
plete, the fault is your own.

STRANGE Trade.

! A colony of women at Hackney, one
of the poor districts of London, Eng
land, has a peculiar way Of earning
money. They mend nutmegs-that
is to say, they fill up the holes in
worm-eaten and damaged nutmegs
from spice warehouses. This work IS
done at home, the worm holes being
filed with a mixture of nutmeg dust
and gum made into a paste; and the
poor women for doing this are pald
at the rate of four cents per gross OF
nutmegs. 1t may here be caid that
even close examination on the part OF
a casual purchaser could not detect
where the holes had been.

Dry Rot.

The term dry rot is commonly used
TO describe a condition of decay In
wood. Probably nine out of ten per-
sons who use the term have no real
knowledge Of it's significance. In the
first place. where there is decay, there
must be moisture This type of decay
is really the work of certain fungus.
1t is true that where this fungus grows
the decaying timber appears to be
without moisture. The fungus, now
ever, will not terminate unless the
wood is moist, but from then on 1t is
able to travel in dry wood. 1t draws
its moisture through conduit system
of slender, infinitely porous strands.
1t is curious fact, says Science Sift-
ings, that wood kept sufficiently wet
cannot rot.

Virginia Crop
Report

The total value of Virginia IS
principal crops for 1921 was
S1l5, 1872 900. which is decrease
of 43 per cent, from the total
value Tor 1920, and 5S per cent.
less than in 1919, according to
the final report OF the U. S. Blu
reau of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates. The u crops that are
recorded show a decrease of $50,
0lS, 900 from the 1920 value of
5000 $50, geo, and of $157, III, :
GOO from the 1919 crops valued
1912, $40, 900, which is the great
est ever recorded for the state.
The tremendous decrease in
the value of Virginia crops is
due to the decline in prices and
the reduced yield caused by the
very unfavorablc season. The
price of apples, cabbage, cotton,
peaches, pears, white potatoes
and sweet potatoes was higher on
December 1st, 1921, than year
ago, but the majority of the
