yesterday, which bulls attributed to the

reports and a few day's of dry. hot
weather bulls are looking for higher
prices and said wheat should be bought
on breaks.
•‘It was the theory of the bears that
the crop scare has been worked for all
it was worth for the time being and
wheat should be sold on all bulges. Corn
traders netieve that there will be little

‘ It would ‘not be surprising to see
fireworks in May oats in the two and
a half trading days remaining of the
month, including to-day. Those who

Why Do Folks Pull

"It sure geta my nanny.” said r he

"Last Sunday a young fellow came

These flowers belong to the city and
they arc put here to be looked at.
that's all. If you want to give your

Motion Picture Show
Takes Place of Nurse.
Out in West End women with small
children have solved a problem. They
have learned how to get along with
out nurses. Of course those with ba
bies are not so fortunate, but the ones
w’hose youngsters can run about are
reaping the reward of ingeniousness.
Now when a mother w r ants to go to
the matinee or shopping in town she
doesn’t have to call in mother-in-law
or a neighbor to look after the chil
dren until she gets back. The plan
is much more simple and gives gen
eral satisfaction. She takes them to
a motion picture show.
It should be known, of course, that
West End boasts a full-fledged
"movie” show. The children go in
droves every day and the proprie
tor must be an all-fired generous soul
because the kiddies just stay and
stay and stay. He never asks them to
go out. And that is the real secret
of the scheme taken advantage of by
the mothers.
Mrs. West End decides that she
wants to go shopping. She washes
and dresses Bobbie and Harry and
Gertrude and escorts them to the pic
ture show. She pays 15 cents and the

Our one, absolutely one, price insures you. whether an
experienced buyer or not. of securing the best instrument
for the amount you wish to pay. It is not safe to buy a
piano, or any other article of merchandise, from a dealer
who has a sliding scale of prices, because you will never
know when he has given you his lowest price. Then, too,
your neighbor may buy the same merchandise for from
$50 to $75 less money. A piano has but one value, and that
should fix its price—the right price. Each and every in
strument on our wareroom floor is tagged at the cash figure,
and no one pays more or less.
