A mere striking of notes would be out of place. The accompaniment must be gentle and dainty--delicately shaded--with here and there a dash of brilliancy to add color to the performance. Playing accompaniments is a good test of an instrument--and one that, when you make it, will increase your admiration of the Gulbransen. What nimblest finger* do In playing the piano, and gaining ex pression, you do with a music roll and the sensitive "pedal-touch' of the Gulbransen. This is so completely true that a new name is used to distinguish the Gulbransen from ordinary player pianos. It is ' The Registering Piano." Please think of it, and investigate it, as such--as a piano that registers your exact touch, your time, your expression. Think of it, also, as the only instrument that gives you the protection of the price branded in the back; as the original and only instrument with simple, eomplete Instruction Bolls that show a method of oor rect playing, j White House Model Country Sent Model Suburban Model Community Model $700 $600 $495 $420 A.

Frank Mathieu and his father-inlaw, Theo. Meyers, returned home last Wednesday from a few days' trip to Boygan Lake, Wis. This is one of the many fine fishing grounds of Wisconsin and while there they saw fishermen bring in catfish weighing as high as twenty pounds, while six pound bull heads were not unordinary. Altho past eighty-two ye^rs of age, Mr. Meyers not only stood the trip, but enjoyed every mile of the stretch. Like all other Illinois people who travel thru Wisconsin, the Johnsburg gentlemen speak in the highest praise of the excellent roads encountered everywhere and expressed the hope that this state would soon waken up and give us roads that will be a pride instead of a disgrace. Presence of mind and prompt assistance on the part of neighbors undoubtedly saved the farm home of John V. Freund from total destruction early on Friday morning of last week. The farm is located north of this place. The fire, presumably caused by the explosion of a kerosene stove, was discovered by Miss Cotetta Freund, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John [|V. Freund, while the parents were engaged in doing the morning chores. Miss Freund had arisen be- • tween five and six o'clock in the morning and was about to enter the summer kitchen when she discovered that the place was on fire. Without hesitancy she ran to the phone and asked central to spread the alarm among neighboring farmers and then ran to the barn to notify the parents. Altho the fire had gained some headway before Mr. and Mrs. Freitod arrived on the scene, they, with the assistance rendered by the neighbors^ who weren't long in reaching the place, soon had the fire under control. The neighbors, thoughtful brought along their own pails. The damage as caused by the blaze was confined to the summer kitchen and the loss has already been paid by the Irving Schultz, a nineteen-year-old MccHeennrryy Tioowwnnssnhiipp Mjnuuvtuuaali Fire *I*n*- CL/hniiccaoggou li»aud>, lost huii°s life while swim surance company as well'as Simon ming at Long lake last Friday morn >it I -- -_ • mt_ _ I.J Lay] n«>wiira/1 Ol Stoffel of McHenry, with whom in- I responded is to Ibe complimented. i Here's Good News For the Man who n Royal Cord OVER $400 AT COAL COLLECTION Rev.

The company was made up of the members of the Masonic order and their wives, the Eastern Star ladies and their husbands. The boat left the Hunter pier at 1:30. The trip up the river to Grass Lake, thence thru the fields of beautiful blossoms to Blarney's Island was a delightful one, the scenery calling forth exclamations on all sides. A short stop was made at the island and upon their departure each lady was presented with lotus blossoms. The company, on arrival at the pier, gave hearty cheers for Mr. Hunter.
