Music—song—happiness! And bell- ra like notes of perfect tone that will delight every member of the M family. Not ordinary' piano music, out tuneful, harmonious MS melody. That is an assurance, always, with a >. Chute & Butler Piano • | But it is not only the delight of the music you experience. & The Chute & Butler is an addition to the home—one of the « family. It is beautiful, and it is designed and made by real artists. . S The door-bell rings. Friends have come for the evening. £ When there isn’t any music in the home, it gets to be so dull MP sitting around and talking—and the best talk on earth is pretty poor compared with songs that send memories racing up and S down the streets of your mind, and put real wide-awake thrills in your back—up your spine—away to your finger-ends! 8 That’s the enjoyment that’s waiting for you in the beautiful gS Chute & Butler Plano. Wonderful instrument! Many kinds of K£ woods, too! 'And tone? Why, it is the sweetest toned piano P® you ever heard.

Dont make them practice on an old piano. We'd liketo tdl you many more things about these Chute & .

Farmers Not Profiteering on Corn , Crop That Jasper county farmers are not profiteering on the 1919 corn crop is one of the facts brought out in the cost of production records being kept by a number of our farmers on their corn crop this year. These farmers, located in various sections of the county, have been keeping track on forms prepared by accountants of the U. S. department of agriculture of all the items going into the &>st of .producing their crop. The records show the cost of (producing corn this season has been about SSO per acre. If these men secured only the average .yield of the county this year, the corn would have cost them about $2 per bushel. Fortunately most of them secured good' yields and came out about even. The greatest single item of expense in raising the crop was rent on the land, some paying S2O per acre or more in share rent. . Horse labor was the next highest item, being nearly twice as much on large farins as man labor and slightly higher than njan labor on smaller farms. The records show that there is a great difference in the efficiency with which farms are operated. One farmer took care of 120'% more corn than another with prac-

tically the same number of man and horse hours of labor than an* other. The man’ with the larger acreage secured the larger yield per Here. Records of the cost of producing various crops are being taken all over the United States in order to throw more light upon practical methods of erpp production.
