Thr. week, of th extraordinary session of r.tr -mm tiarlnr nama.d with a record of raplddr legislation by th House, the Senate I finally organised out m nn kuis to consider that part of th Democratic programme already dis posed of by the lower branch. Canadian reciprocity la the only mat ter bains; considered by the Senate, and that probably will not com bfor it for several weeks. Th flnano com mittee, to which It was referred, will grant hearlnga on the bill. How long commltte deliberation will continue is problematical, but the pros pect Is for a lengthy discussion. Chairman Favors BUI. Chairman Penrose of the committee Mi In favor of the bill, but the majority la opposed to It. The prevailing opin ion la that It will be reported without recommendation. The committee will meet Tuesday. Senator Stone of Missouri will d dress the Benate tomorrow on th bill and endeavor to explain some of the misrepresentations that have been made regarding the proposed arr.. ment. After this speech there will be nothing; before the Senate, and ad journment until Thursday Is probable, with adjournment until Monday to fol low. There la no prospect of the Senate considering the House bills providing for popular election of Senators, pre election publicity of campaign eontrl butlona. or reapportionment until the reciprocity Issue has be.n decided. House Democrat Active. In the House the Democrats are keeping up a rapid "progressive" pace. nd most of th week will b dvotd to the farmers' free list bill. Chairman Underwood demonstrated his desire to hasten action and also to glv. all meinbera a chance to be heard, by Insisting upon 11 ociock aa the hour to convene Instead of noon. It la probable that debate will cloee Thursday or Friday. That the bill will paas there Is no doubt, the Demo cratic support being almost solid, re inforced by the vote of a few pro gressiva Republicans.

But we find that many people do not even now understand the situation. It seems that a New York manufacturer made a trade for eome real estate. He paid the dif ference In pianos. , At least this was a small dealer a story, who had the pianos for sale in this citv, an Is shown in the photograph above. 'This small dealer needed money urgently, he said. We had the money, and we bought his pianos, paying him spot cash. . Thus It Is that we share our advan tage with our buyers now. You have never in your life seen such a tre mendous amount of real piano goodness obtainable for so little money. Just think of It: For 1111.50 we give you a modern, brand new, warranted piano, with full - length music desk, dou ble revolving lock - board, three pedals and splendid tone. With out the practice pedal the pianos cost only 98 now. Other styles are I1S4.80 and 1126.70.
