A popular sicial affair among
the newspaper boys is a "sub-
scription shower." It is a good
ideal like the linen and china
showers given in honor of pros-
pective brides. A number .of
I subscribers whose subscriptions
are due get together and induce
all their neighbors who are not
subscribers to join them. They
go in a body to the newspaper
office, where each one planks
down a dollar and takes credit
for a year's subscription. If the
editor's face is wreathed in
smiles the affair is a success. If
he looks glum and grouchy, the
affair is a failure and not worth
trying again. Try it once And
see if it isn't: a success.—I'dack-

Does it pay for part of the
leading business men of a town,
that has strong competition in
neighboring towns, to agree that
they will have no competition
amongst themselves, and that they
will not spend a few dollars in
advertising their business with
the local paper, which circulates
in every community where these
self-same merchants desire to se-
cure new trade and to hold the
trade they had secured in former
years, by advertising and close
competition.
Leaving out the question of the
>alue of the local paper, in its
past efforts to boost the advan-
tages of the county, and inducing
people to return who had moved
away; and the fact that this
same local paper lias published,
in the past, in its efforts to aid
and help these self-same mer-
chants in holding their trade and
building up new trade, article af-
ter article and "hollered" itself
hoarse in trying to show the peo-
ple of the county that the local
merchant could sell cheaper be-
cause he did not have the ex-
pense account of the city mer-
chant. Considering that these
things are true, does it pay?
If the above was applicable to
Fairfield, we would say that the
action of these business men was
simply rotten, foolish and unhus-
iness-like, and that they were
town-killers, playing into the
hands of their competitors. We
would add that the public cannot
be fooled; it would understand
that when competition is throttlec
and no effort is made to secure
the trade, the advantages of the
town as a trading point, is on
the wane, the people would com-
pare it with other years, when
these self-same merchants went
after the trade by lively compe-
tition amongst themselves, and
offered prices on merchandise
that the business men of compet-
ing towns could not well afford
to meet.
I f I his was rcally applicahie to
Fairfield, we would say. that this
policy pursued milch longer,
would kill the town dead in an-
other season or so, and we would
urge that our business men care-
fully consider the situation, and
let all strive to hold the trade
and secure new trade by showing
the people that they want it.

To the tired business man and his weary wife the player piano is
an entertainer that never bores. You can play it without effort,
without tiring, and choose the music that suits your mood—rag time,
grand opera, dance music, classified music and religious music—all
are at your command.
Even if you are an accomplished musician you will find a restful
relaxation in playing without effort. You will enjoy the unlimited
reportoire and appreciate the advantage of being able to concentrate
your entire attention on correct interpretation without a thought
of reading or fingering. You will be a more thorough musician, too,
with a wider knowledge of music.
If you want these joys added to your home life, [come and hear
and try our player pianos. We have the best.
•v..
The unusual capacity for expressing musical feeling is found in
these instruments. Let us tell you at once how much we will pay
you for your old piano if you buy a player-piano from us. We sell
on terms of payments you can afford.
