We owe it to the community in which we live to do everything we can in every way possible that will be to its advantage. Our neighbor’s prosperity means a great deal more to us than someone’s who lives else where. We should bear this in mind in buying our goods. We can afford to pay our home man a firm price for his wares rather than send our money away, knowing as we do that eveiy dollar our own citizen makes will help in sustaining our schools, churches and public institutions. It pays richly to patronize home indus try. An Irishman went into a barber shop to get shaved. After being properly seated and lather about half applied the barber was called to an adjoining room, where he was detain ed for some time. The barber had in his shop a pet monkey which was con* stantly imitating its master. As soon as the latter left the room the monkey grabbed the brush and pro ceeded to finish lathering Pat’s face. After doing this he took a razor from the case, stropped it, and then turned to the Irishman to shave him. “Stop that,” said Pat. “You can tuck towls in my neck and put soap on my face, but begorra your father’s got to f do the shaving. ”_____ t NUMBER 23 J.

Do not purchase of a dealer who is not competent to tune and regulate your piano. One of the most critical tests of a piano is made in tuning the instru ment. To an experienced piano man the tuning test reveals the true character of its interior constructiont both as to perfection of its scientific scale, materia! used and its durability. It also enables him to deter mine if the instrument is up to the standard in point of STAYING IN TUNE. Fifteen years of piano business in Holt county, with many purchasers to whom to refer you, should convince the intending purchaser that I will deal squarely with him. 0 , r n . rr /personally look after and I special r rices Until ^ I January 1st. tune your lnstrunlent whfn I purchased of me for a period I From now till January 1st I will Qf years WjfhOUt expense tO I make a blanket cut in prices of * I you.
