BUT WE DO KNOW
Be Careful

WHEN you have under consideration
w the painting of your home, it is
a matter to which you should give some
thought. You should investigate intelli-
gently. You should inquire of people
who know. In other words. you should
BE CAREFUL, for you might make
mistake which will prove an eyesore TO
you for years to come. When you paint
your house, it is to protect it from the
Weather as well as to brighten up its APP
pearance. If you use poo: paint you
practically fail to accomplish either pur-
pose only for season, and put your
house in damaged condition that the
best paint OH earth can't repair or over
come. When paint has been applied and
it begins TO crack, peel and come oil, just
let her crack. You can do. nothing else.
A coat of the best paint can't remedy it
it is a case OF the hair with the hide: The
new paint can't stay when the old paint
is coming OFF. The thing to do is to be
careful and not make the mistake that
others have made ; but buy MASURi'S
RAILROAD PAINT and have it applied.
The price of good paint and inferior paint
is too close together to experiment.

time ago ruled for contempt on &C.
count of his refusal to give the names

Senator Tillman said that the senate
should not 60 after Chapman but
should learn whether the senators had
speculated in sugar stock. There were
published charges, he said, that sena-
tors had speculated in sugar stock
within the last week. Instead of look
ing to Chapman, he said, the senate
might better call on Havemeyer anG
others of the sugar trust magnates
Referring to the last investigation he
said ave want to know whether
our committee was bought, and punish
them and the men who bought them
The Chapman resolution was finally
referred to the judiciary committee.

the traffic from legal recognition is the
crucial question at issue. The junct-
ure at which this question comes on to
be heard is inopportune, if not inau-
spicious, for the state, if the severely
judicial mind is to be considered at all
subject to the influences of contempo-
rary conditions and environments.
Taken apart from this impending
decision, the recent disclosures con-
cerning the internal management of
the dispensary and the decisive course
pursued by the administration in
promptly proceeding to correct the
evils developed, would appear to be
wholesome and promising indications
for the system rather than the reverse.
1t has been strongly suspected that
grave irregularities existed in the con-
duct of the institution and it is a
hopeful sign that the dispensary ad-
ministration is still held amenable and
subject to public and official investi-

WHICH ROUTEf

IF you were sent for your family physi-
l. clan to 60 and see member of your
family who was desperately sick-sick
unto death-and there were two routes by
which you could 60, and one was say one
half the distance of the other, which one
would you choose? Would you 60 round
or through? We think you would 60 the
nigh way.
IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE RAIN
You have desperate case on your hands
now, in that planting time is at hand and
your land is not prepared for the seed.
OF course, you can plant your corn or
cotton without getting your land ready;
but if you do, you will have twice as
much work to do as you would have had,
had you prepared it before planting, and
a corresponding decrease in the yield.
1T WILL PAY TO START RIGHT
And 60 the nigh way. You can do this
by using A GENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW in breaking your land. If
you will call on us we will tell you how
you can break eight to ten acres day to
the depth of six inches at less cost than
you can break four to depth of not ex-
ceeding two-and-one-half inches, by the
ordinary method. By our plan, you will
have no clods, and by yours you will
have little else on red land.
