Why Don't You Get
Your House Painted?
NOW, DON'T SAY YOU CAN'T,
FOR YOU CAN.
HAVE IT PAINTED ON THE
INSTALLMENT PLAN.

DUMMY isn't it? But it's true. Here is
Il the way it can be done:
If you have small House. pay So; if a large
one, pay SO DOWN, and take your own
time to pay the balance. NO INTEREST
NOR FINES if you fail to make payments
when due.
One-third of the Houses in Frostburg and
vicinity are not painted. Why? Just because
people have had to pay for the work just as
soon as completed, and the one-third could
not spare the money.
The sun and rain meanwhile get in their
work splitting the boards, loosening knots
that eventually fall out, and soon your House
looks more like Il shanty than a respectable,
comfortable and clean looking home.
| will start the PAINTING OF HOUSES
about May II, next.
Any person wanting to investigate my
plan further is invited to call at Towles' \ TT

\ CONSTITUTION FOR HAWAII.
CONVENTION TO MEET IN MAY.
President Dole and His Ministers Plan
ming for . Permanent Government

Ever since the retirement Of President Dole
from the office Of minister of foreign affairs,
he has been engaged In drawing up new
constitution to be submitted to the conven-
tion to be held In May. The government Is
retlcent In regard to the new instrument, but
1t has been ascertained on good authority that
by the constitution which President Dole Will
propose, the executive power is to be vested
In president, who will not have seat in the
executive council, as Is the case now. He
will have the right to veto, but such veto can
be overruled by a two-thirds vote Of the Sem
ate and Assembly. The vice president will
not have seat In the executive council either,
and bis duties will be to preside over the Sem
ate. The executive council will consist OF
i've members-minister Of foreign affairs,
minister Of finance, minister OF the interior,
minister Of health and education, and minis
ter Of Justice, or attorney general.
In regard to the legislature, It 10 under
stood that 1t will be formed by appointment
The upper house, to be called the senate, and
to consist of twenty four members, will be ap-
pointed by tho president, vice president and
executive council and will hold Office for tw o
years. The lower house will consist Of forty
members and Is to be appointed by the execu-
tive council The senators and assemblymen
have been agreed upon. They are to be called
together, and the joint bodies will promulgate
a second constitution and fix q date for gen.
eral election Of the government officials.
Preparations for the constitutional conven-
tion are being made. The election Of dele
gates is to take place on May 2. Tho regis
tratlon Of voters for this election is now pro-
ceeding, but has been very slow, only 547
taken the oath necessary to qualify as electors.
OF these the great majority are whites and
Portuguese, the natives being kept from reg
istration by their leaders, who are nearly nll
royalists. Those leaders, openly acknowledge
that they are attempting to keep the natives
from the polls, and one political society has
even had printed in royalist paper long
announcement to the effect that the natives
should have nothing whatever to do with the
election, as the provisional government is not
government of the people and cannot last,
and that the vengennc Of tho queen will he
visited upon all disloyal subjects when she
reascends the throne.

pations and have carefully avoided anything
which might lead anyone to think that the
instructions Of the judge about conversing
on the subject Of tho trial had fallen upon
deaf ears.
