CvTrTTto frr r. s. No garden curt he successful unless H ia properly planned and the soil prepared to receive the seed. Assuming that the land you are going to use haa never been cultivated, the first thing ia thoroughly to clear It of all rubbish, stones and weeds. Rake these, off and then pade. If there have been pil3 of lime, or other building substances on the soil see that these are scattered over the entire area eo that there -will not be any one spot which Is impregnated with lime and the like. Spade to a depth of at least a foot, or more, and remove all lumps and rock. If the growing weeds tfre not too largo they may be spaded under and allowed to decay, thereby fertilizing the soil. After the first spading the soil hould be allowed to stand eo that It may become thoroughly aired. Mix in yotir fertilizer and spade it into the already pulverized earthThis ia extremely important, AVhen the earth is thoroughly broken up look well to its leveling. If it is located on a hillside let it slope in conformity to the natural drainage of the land. In any section where it is ncessar to irrigate, it is better to make your garden into beds, having trough-like spaces surrounding, and running through the beds in which you can run water when, the land becomes dry. Irrigation is far supetlor to sprinVltnat. In starting av plants from seeds, whether vegetables or flowers, two or t-hree things are necessary for sue- i

1 Do not plant the seeds too deep, so as to smother them before they can reach the surface. 2 Do "t allow then to dry out, so as to kill them Just after they come up. 3 Plant them at the proper season, not too early and not too late. In selecting what you are golns to grow be sure to piant only those Vegetables Which vein on1 rm. am.

Potatoes will permit you to decrease your consumption of wheat. They nre easily grown and require little wotk. A small potato patch will furnish a faml'v with n f-ie miarititv and quality of food and will help your country. No matter what else you raise, be sure your garden includes potatoes.

TJ10 rusie Trade Indicator, as well as many other important publications "working in the interests of 1 tetter business methods, recently reproduced the text matter of the Straube piano advertising. Notice the comment indorsing the Straube Plan of Absolutely One Price, No Commission Way of Piano Selling.. .

From the Music Trade Indicator Gold Dollars for Fifty Cents Tho Straube Piano & Music Company, who handle the- products of the Straube factory and other well known factories in their store at Hammond, Ind., come out every once in a while with a strong appeal for honest methods, and a p'u liarity of these Straube ads is that they dhow how the faker word's his game. lielow is a part of a recent ad of this concern, in which they land heavily on the "$500 piano for $r,:0" fake. Po you believe it? Are they playerpianos for only $ 4 5 r ? Do you know of any clothing merchant advertising "$7T suits f clothes for only $:;.",?" Do you know of :ny jewelers advertising "$100 diamonds for only 549?" See if you can find an automobile dealer offering "Ji.Oi'O Packard automobiles for only $1.;h)0."' Your own common sense tells you that no concern can offer such d scov.nts on standard nrticles of conimr-rcp. Whenever you see such misleading :ulvoitisine: about clothing, jewelry, automoli'es -or pianos Just put it down that t ii sc 'd are onI' 'he kind made to sell to people who do not investigate the facts about tb.o iir.ality but are easily intoxicated on the .(5,"0 player-piano for only $4.".5 idea. Concerns who offer "$nr0 pla:, er-pianos for only $4.".V do not sell 5630 player-pi Ano as measured by real player value. If you Avill compare their "?6,"0 player-piano for J you will find that their "J;30 playerpiano for only $4 :;"' is a very poor specimen of even a $373 player. There was never a time when piano making materials and skilled labor was .more scare. When any concern offers pianos ar give-away prices it is all bosh and such concerns could not tay in business if ihey were to their so-called "Si'.'.O plaverpianos for only $453" at a low price according to their low puality. Such player- inno3 arf mad" so cheaply that any price can b put cn thm because these concerns alwavs take the puh;c for a lot of "suckei?." knowing that the inflated prices with fake discounts will appeal to a certain per cent -.f people who always and forever Tie ready lo swallow the discount bait insteid of !ookin? for Quality.

When any sliding price piano concern takes exceptions to holiest and square dealing, it shows clearly that the cold facts as set forth about $650 Player Pianos For Only $455, has struck home. The Sliding Price Dealers firmly believe that the old saying of "Where ignorance is b!i.-;, il is folly in - v.i-e" is the honorable way of piano merchandising. They do not believe in educating the public to know anything about piano value, but travel under the assumption that the customer is ignorant as .to piano value and it is folly to make them Avie for fear that the customer would not swallow hook. line, bait and sinker of the $650 Player Piano for $415 sucker trap. Of course the sliding price piano dealers think "there is a sucker born every minute and they keep right on baiting their hooks with the same old bait of $650 Player Pianos For Only $455." The Music Trade Indicator gives the Straube Piano and Music Co. credit for selling pianos of well known factories Tt also gives this concern credit for honest methods and when you think of purchasing a piano or player piano, test out the principles of the Straube store and also the sliding price dealers. Straube's are justly proud of such fine pianos as Kranich & Each, Haines Bros, Behr Bros. & Co., Kohler & Campbell, Marshall & Wendell, Straube, Bramfcach, etc. They are also proud to offer these splendid pianos at the lowest price on decent, honorable selling conditions which makes friends of customers.
