HIGH TEMPERATURES
INTENSIFIED DROUGHT.
Premature Opening Has Caused
Picking of 25 Per Cent, of
Cotton Crop—Top Bolls
Promise Little.
The week ending October 3
was characterized by unseason
ably high temperatures and an
almost total absence of rain,
which has intensified the j
droughty conditions which pre-!
vailed during September. Cot- (
ton picking is now general over;
the state, and about twenty-five j
per cent, of the crop has been;
picked; the indications are that
there will be a very light top
crop. Early corn made a good
crop and was being gathered in
many sections; the late is suffer
ing from lack of moisture and
will make a very light crop. Ow
ing to continued dry weather
very little fall plowing has been
done and very little fall grain
has been sown. Late potatoes
and turnips are suffering for
moisture; sweet potatoes are do
ing fairly well and promise to
make a fair to good crop. Apples
are still dropping in some sections
and the indications are for only
a fair crop; in some northwest
ern gounties the bulk of the crop
has been gathered and marketed.
Stock water is scarce in many
sections of the state, and as a
result stock, while healthy, is
not doing very well.

HOW BUY YOUR
GROCERIES
THIS FALL?
CASH OR CREDIT.
Is not the pay-as-you-go
plan the best? Many think it
is best, because—
1. When you pay cash you
are sure to buy at the lowest
market price;
2. When you pay cash you
realize how much you are
spending, so live within your
means.
3. When you pay cash you
never overbuy.
4. When you pay cash you
buy at a cash store (if you are
wise), where there is only one
price, and where rich and
poor are treated alike.
5. When you pay cash at a
cash store there are no bad ac
counts to consider, but prices
are made on a cash basis, so
you are sure to save money.
6. When you pay cash for a
few months you will not wil
lingly go back to the old style
credit plan; not if you are like
a majority of buyers.
All this being true, won’t
you decide to begin this fall to
buy of us for cash? Your
money back always if you
want it.
It Pays to Pay Cash.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect ■
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
| tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
