J. A. Poppler, Manager,
Stone Piano Company:—
A few days ago I received a letter from J. & C.
Fischer, makers of the FISCHER Pianos, saying we
should sell a record number of Fischer Pianos this
season if, through our advertising and sales work, we
make people know just what the FISCHER pianos are,
constructionally and artistically.
Their point is so well taken that it has appealed to
us with great force. They mean that now, when every
one is earning more than ever before, is the time for
every piano purchaser to buy one of the very best values
there is and for the reason that the cost is only a very
little more.
& C. Fischer have been making fine pianos for
nearly eighty years. Their product is an absolute stand
ard of piano value. A piano costing more than the
FISCHER has to be of superfine quality to be worth
more.. There are a number of pianos higher in price but
Hpne that are higher in quality.
The FISCHER is beautifully constructed of remark-*

Doubtless Better At Whist
Than At Ruling Empire
London, Oct. 15.—According to a
Petrograd dispatch, Nicholas Roman
off, the deposed Russian emperor,
passes a great deal of his time in
playing whist, of which he »s very
fond. In pre-war times whist was one
of the most popular court diversions
in Russia, and the e..iperor had a
special de luxe card which was made
for his exclusive use. Over 1,200
packs of these imperial cards were
used every year, and they cost the
Russian government about J7 a pack,
being made of the finest linen rags
with a watermark of the imperial
crown and eagle.

$37,000 Of Grand Forks'
Loan Share Subscribed

trict began today. While the district
is far short of the amount hoped for
In the first two weeks of the cam
paign, the committee expresses con
fidence that the sum will be raised
before October 27. To accomplish
this it will be necessary to sell bonds
at the rate of $100,000,000 a day.
About 10,000 bonds in the smaller
denominations have been received
'rom Washington and were placed on
sale throughout the city today with
the idea, of attracting cash customers.
The Liberty loan campaign entered
into the schools of the city today when
a corps of twenty-six speakers ad
iressed pupils in the various grades.
The plan was the outcome of co-
SraSd^ ®rn^eiU except those whose serWces
with apparent effect judging from re
marks from a number of children fol
lowing the short speeches.
At 11:15 the speakers appeared in
the schools, being introduced by th
principals or teachers, and then called
'.he attention of the children to cards
•*hich had been distributed in the
-lass rooms, with the following in
^ription:
"Your country Is calling on you
'or help in floating the second
Liberty loon.. Yon know what
'lie United States has done for
you. Now is the time to do what
-oil can in return. Everyone'can
help a little. If yon cannot carry
a gun you can help pay for on»\
If your boy is not a soldier yon
can htfp equip your neighbor's
boy who is. Off bourse, you'll "do
your bit. Why not do'It now"
The card then invited the parents
of the children to sign a pledge to
'he effect that they are willing to do
all they can to make the Liberty loan
campaigs a success. The cards were
brought home by the children this
noon and returned to school at the
opening of the afternoon session.
Most of the speakers today told the
children in a general way of the rea
nnns fnr' Amwlca'a ftnt»T-lwg
emphasizing that Germany had time
and again broken its pledges to this
government and also bringing out th*
point that when anybody is in a fight
it is for the purpose .and with the firm
Intention to win the fight. But as no
war can be fought, far less won, with
out active support of the people, the
point was brought horine that every
one must aid the government In s"
curing men, shins food, ammunition
and other supplies.
For this reason, it. was said,-the
government needed the money which
was not asked as a gift, but merely as
a loan which would be returned with
interest.
In the Belmont school Dean Vernon
P. Squires illustrated his talk with a
$100 Liberty loan bond certificate,
which he exhibited and the signifi
cance of which he explained in de
tail.
In other schools the speakers put
stress on the fact that while hundreds
and thousands of little children were
suffering and starving In European
countries, American children were
