SHORT FURROWS By ABE MARTIN We’re livin’ t’day in a era o’ rose tinted prosperity—unparalleled prosperity with a three-colored embossed label, th’ celebrated prosperity that we’ve been a bearin’ so much about. Ole, long deserted, sway backed factories are agin in full tilt; th’ railroads are back on ther orders; th’ the-aters haint got seats enough; th’ cigarette soaked cafes are filled with meat eaters; th’ Saturday night crowds are made up o’ smilin’ toilers; giant corporations are makin’ million dollar improvements, an’ farmers are smokin’ cigars an’ drivin’ 12-cylinder cars. Everywhere is activity an’ th’ unmistakable signs o’ good times. The rumblin’ o’ traffic is deafenin’; hurryin’ an’ scurryin’ shoppers crowd th’ bazars; nobuddy eats at home; factory whistles pierce th’ heavens; th’

A SALARIED MAN PEELIN’ HIS WAY. * swish o’ th’ over dressed mingles with th’ tinkle o’ glasses; th’ boisterous laughter o’ th’ prosperous is only drowned by th’ open mufflers o’ delivery trucks. All th’ din an’ confusion incident t’ gilt edged times fills th’ air. Times is good an’ ever’ buddy’s got a job, fer prosperity is here. Now, th’ only drawback t’ all o’ this business boom is that after th’ smoke blows away an’ th’ noise subsides an’ Sunday comes, most of us find that we haven’ nothin’ t’ show fer it but a few p’taters an’ a chuck roast. Our earnin’s have faded an’ gone “on account o’ th’ war.” We’re all workin’ an’ makin’ money^, but we’re livin’. That’s where th’ hitch comes in. If we all had dyspepsia an’ didn’ care fer clothes, we’d soon be rollin’ in wealth. No right minded provider likes t’ see his little children trot off t’ school thro’ th’ snow in ther bare feet; ever’ husband who toils feels entitled t’ at least one egg in th’ momin’; any kind of a father at all will buy coal rather than see those he loves freeze, A man who has always been used t’ p’taters an’ beans is loathe t’ abandon them that he may accrue great wealth. Some men like t’ see ther wives provided with th’ plain necessities o’ life. Any normal father would rather begin all over agin Monday than s«e his buddin’ daughter droop anl fade fer th’ want of a foxy pair o’ high tops. No young husband with a ray o' intellect thinks that he kin hold his wife’s love unless she’s dressed snug. No young lover is foolish enough t’ think that he is strong enough with th’ idol of his heart t’ rush her off home after th’ the-ater without takin’ her t’ a cafe. We all feel that we should at least git a little bacon out o’ life. “Believe me, th’ political party that comes before th’ country four years from now an’ promises prosperity, is a dead cock in th’ pit,” said Tell Binkley this momin’, an’ Fin Beasley, a prominent salaried man replied, “You certainly said somethin’. I’ve been through three panics an’ this is th’ first year I hain’t been able t’ save a cent.”

THE GIFT OF THREEFOLD VALUE

fPi

-THE-

•r :

DUO-ART PIANOLA

First— Played by Hand The wonderful Duo-Art Pianola is, first of all, a magnificent pianoforte — which in tone, in action, in every detail satisfies the taste of the most critical musician. Vour friends who can play the piano by hand will appreciate the wonderful possibilities of this instrument. In playing'the Duo-Art by hand you can tell no difference between this wonderful instrument and the pianofortes of the same famous makes such as the Steinway, Steck, Stroud and the famous Weber.

Second— Played as a Pianola

With the music roll the Duo-Art may be played as a Pianola. Used in this way it confers upon every one piano-playing ability of the highest order. No pedaling is required, as pneumatic power is furnished by an electric motor. The wonderful personal expression of the Pianola is found in playing the Duo-Art. The Duo-Art Pianola makes music as available as books or pictures. It affords the means of studying the works of the master musicians of all time. In the home the Duo-Art Pianola stimulates musical interest. It imparts to the children a knowledge of, and a taste for music, of the highest type. It enables them actually to study music, not as merely dull, monotonous technique, but brings to their daily practice hour the enthusiasm of understanding and appreciation. It affords every member of the family the delightful culture that comes of mental association with the great masters.

Third— Will Play Itself

The great new feature of the DuoArt Pianola—the feature which adds to the instrument such an extraordinary new element of interest—is its self-playing ability. By simply inserting a Duo-Art music roll, and starting the action, this marvelous instrument will play itself and give a performance identical in fhe minutest detail of expression, with the performances of the greatest pianist. Indeed, the playing is the playing of the great pianists. Duo-Art music rolls are made by a musician upon a wonderful new recording piano. When a roll thus obtained is placed in The Duo-Art Pianola, the artist’s performance is reproduced, faithful to the original in every tone variation, every shade of tempo change, pedaling, phrasing, and all other features.

The magnificent Duo-Art Pianola, with its threefold value, is a wonderful gift to any home—an instrument absolutely unparalleled in the whole world of music. It is the Aeolian Company’s greatest achievement— the result of years of experimentation. All who have seen it, including the world’s foremost pianists, have given it unbounded praise. Prices From $750—Liberal Terms

An Invitation to You You are 'cordially invited to hear the wonderful Duo-Art in the Art Room of Aeolian Hall. Whether or not you are contemplating the purchase of an instrument, we invite you.

Preparation of a state-wide prohibition bill has been partly completed by Thomas j Dorreli. of Greenwood, Democratic sena-tor-elect.
