We told you In our recent adv. about our overstock of Pianos which we have in our three factories and the twentyfour branche stores. Our three factories have been runninq

full time; every man on our reguiar manufacturing force has been given constant employment AND OUR INTENTIONS ARE TO CONTINUE RUNNING FULL TIME. This means that our surplus stock of Pianos and .Player-Pianos must be speeJily disposed of, even though at startling reductions explains as well, the rea-

Siri for this gigantic clearance. And this Is in accordance, too, with the present times regarding commercial economy, THAT BUSINESS BE TAKEN ON AT A SMALLER MARGIN OF PROFIT, OR EVEN AT COST! The result is shewn in the EXTRA

SPECIAL DISCOUNT and the EXTRA SPECIAL Pianos assigned to Hammond and vicinity one your home tomorrow.

Tour I letter was cHte-3 May 20th but I don't I expect you to receive this until pome-

tim :n aujufi. Well. I fuppC'.-f yon know by this time th.it the Tanks . r fhowins what the y cn do and arc doing it. About thirty of us were w;th the Australians for two das and they are as tine a bunh as you would care to meet ani they are sDme fiphters as well. We lande.l in Fiance on the SCth of May, Decoration Day. so will hardly forte the date and have been having a busy time of it since then. I supreme you have already seen in the papers of the scrap which started exactly at " o'clock the morr.ir.g of July

the 4th with the Australians ar.d Ameri

cans side by sMc and we think a lot of thorn and they reem to think its nil over with the biff f ?ht sir.ee the Yanks came o er. We ars net allowed to give any dats

j or movements of troops either where we j hav been or what's dohie. but about a i week ago I washed riothes and went

swimmirg in tho Somrr.e river. This sure is a war ridden place and all the boys are satisfied with the pood old U. S. A. if they come back. All are bopinc to be home Xmas but you never cm-. tc-M. This !s our first Sundo erf for a long time and will writ np-iln as soon as possible, address mo Pvt. Jay "Wiry-!. Co. G. 131st Inf.. A. E. V. and I will gt it sometime I hops. I have been feelinjr good except eauffht cold in my right lurt or side and it tains me considerable, and can't Ret anythir.fr for it here. 1 suppose you have received the letter and pert card I mailed on the beat and know I am somewhere in France and would like to tell you all but not allowed to do so now but you can aet that Sherman was ripht when he aaid "war was hell." I am still doinjr barberinj with dull tools and we have not been paid for two months but expect it every day. Well, mother, this is my limit for this time ar.d will write again soon and hope that we pet mail again coon. Give

ai: my best resarJs and thanks or the P.ed Cross. Kemembcr ar.d take pood care of yourself and perhaps we will b -home by Xmas end that is what vee are hcpi.ns for. Yours aa ever with love. JAY W.
