and promise your neighbor from -f'25 to $75 commission if he will use his influence to persuade you to buy a piano jut like it. To influence the sale the neighbor sonn-times tells you that he paid $400 for his piano when Ic paid only $275. You see that this unjust commission paying evil not only causes your neighbor and dealer to misrepresent the price and the piano, but causes you to pay more for a piano than your neighbor paid for tho same kind of an instrument. When the neighbor receives $25 to $75 either cash or credit on his own piano, you have helped to pay for his, piano oiu of your pocket. Straube's Want aii Their Customers to Tell Their Friends Just What They Paid for Their Piano. Xo concern in this country offers such tine, old reliable pianos at our one- low price. By the elimination of $25 to 75 credits and commissions as paid by other dealers wo can afford to offer those standard pianos at small prices. When customers tell their friends the truth about the price they pay for a piano purchased at Straube's, they are helping their friends to save money and own a reliable piano.

For purposes of example merely, it is secftesied that consideration should 1 be pi ven as to the extent to which men should be taken from less essential industries such as those covered bv the so-called "Wcrk or Fisht" order. H:ivmtc tlrst determined the relative contribution which should be made by industries, consideration should then be piven to th" nustlon of tin proportion of the retv.nr.-i! contribution of each industry that should be contributed by the various employers enftrsd therein.

On the day appointed one little boy put down twelve cents with the remark, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." A second angelle-looking boy placed a quarter on the desk and said. "Cast thy bread upon the waters and It ehall return to thee after many days." A third, boy. bright faced and cheery, placed a cent on the desk with the remark "A fool and his rtoney are soon parted."
