Don't let the kickers fool you

Because I cannot find a single
town that is floating bonds for
water and light that is not a thou-

Because It will bring outside cap-

bonds and my taxes will be re-

Young ladies have you room in your
home for an instrument? Do you want
a handsome piano? You can get one
very easily in the Press contest There
are many homes in this county where
young ladies long for pianos yes ask
and some even beg their parents year
after year for an instrument Now that
there is an opportunity to buy one for a
little work will you still sit and make
no move to get it? This question you
alone can answer Not by mere words
but by action Parents who have been
asked for an instrument will now see
whether their daughters are really in
earnest or not
People are always ready to help those
who try to help themselves Get out
among your neighbors and show them
that you are worthy of such a prize and
have enough energy and determination
