their paint rs sold by H. l.. Hulburd
& Co. to wear longer than strictly
pure white lead aud oil, and not to
chalk, crack and peel off; and to
| cover more surface. On ordinary
smooth work one gallon of this paint
will cover 200 square feet, two coats.
1t is II waste of labor and money to
use poor brand of paint. The only
security is in purchasing from re-
liable house. Geo. w. Pitkin & Co.
are one of the oldest and the largest
color houses and stake their reputa-
ton on the merits of their paint.

The following was found in Ste
vens county lady's scrap book: "The
young man who knows how to lay off
corn and potato rows. and to regulate
the distance of the same so as to get
the crops, Is worth n cowpen full of
nice, kid-gloved, fancy-oyercoated fell
lows who know how to lead IL fashion
waltz. Setting the pillow right and
adjusting the gears so the horses
backs and shoulders will never hurt
are worth thousand fold more to
the country than knowing how to
pose in a parlor. Yes, aud a girl that
can bake loaf of bread and make
sweet roll of butter is worth a whole
seminary of those soft hand angels
who sit In the "pahlah" and let their
"mas" do the kitchen work"

fraternity of the village have organ
lzed running and trotting associa-
ton for the development of the racing
interests of the surrounding country.

A person is seldom sick, when their
bowels are regular, and never well
when they are irregular. Bear this
in mind and keep your bowels regular

Pills. Sold by Fritz Buckentin.
Similar action to that of our retail
merchants is being taken in other
places. The st. Cloud Journal Press
says: And now it is the retail grocers
who are the victims of trust. The
wholesale dealers of Minnesota re-
Gently refused to give any prices on
goods at the time of selling or before
the goods were shipped. They con-
descend to sell the goods but the price
Is to be that of the day of shipment
and the retailer has to rely upon the
| honesty of the wholesaler. It is also
proposed, If this scheme works. to sell
only practically for cash that is, an
accepted draft due at the date named
In the bill, thirty or sixty days, must
| be forwarded before the goods will be
shipped. This would make the banks
all over the state carry the customers
Of the big houses of the Twin Cities.
To checkmate the combination the
retail dealers are electing delegates to
| state convention to be held soon,
where plans will be formed TO break
the wholesale deal. Tn the mean
while, many of the local grocers are
buying from Chicago. The st. Cloud
grocers held meeting on Saturday
aud appointed Mr.. J. N. Benson as
delegate to the state convention.
Complaint 10 also made that groceries
/ purchased In Chicago are held.for two
or three days at the Minnesota Trans
fer, tine purpose being to discourage
retailers from buying In Chicago and
compel them to yield to the obnox-
ious terms OF the Twin Cities trust.
