fer a bonus to subscribers, but
when these fire extinguishers
were shown to us we knew we had
something that every subscriber
needed and wanted and so agreed
to make them available to you at
once. We have published entirely
too many stories Of smoldering
ruins of farm and city buildings

property. We believe this an excel
lent opportunity for us to aid
everyone in the community to Sc
cure protection in the barn, home,

Red Comet extinguishers, guaran-
teed for years, all that Is neces-
sary Is to subscribe for one or more
years to the Herald. You can Sc
cure one with every $500 new or
renewal subscription. This was not
necessary as a build-up for our
subscription list, as we had con-
test last year, and our list Is up to
standard in every respect-but we
want to do something for the COM
munity; we want to aid in lessen
ing the number Of serious fires,

Violin Brought 5000 To
O,yner.-ExcelIent Tone
Rare Tone Quality OF instrument
Brings Splendid Profit On
Sale

It was q violin Of no unusual
proportions-except the tone seem
ed to be Of q peculiar sweetness.
But q short time ago this violin
purchased originally for ten dollars
brought its owner, George North
rop, Of Los Angeles, California, the
magnificent sum of $500. Twice be-
fore 1t had been sold for an aggre-
gate of $3.50. Mr.. Northrop, who
left here a short time ago after
visiting with his brother, Ed
Northrop and wife, sold the instru-
ment to a California musician.
Some years ago the instrument
had been bought by G. II. Vandes-
teeg for $40. Last summer when
Mr.. Northrop was visiting here he
rebought the violin from Mr.. Van
desteeg. An old time fiddler" Mr..
Northrup played several times with
Sigurd Holmes who has expressed
his opinion Of the instrument as
being of good tone. And the ironi-
cal part Of it is that on a last min
ute decision he chose to take the
violin with him West instead Of
leaving it with Mr.. Holmes.
