Letter to r. p. Kidder & Son.

Dear Sirs: We want an agent III your
town for the foremost paint IN the world;
Devoe lead and ENC. We bespeak lew
words to say how much more this means
than simply the sale of good pa mt.
Our agent has to administer this agree
ment wi h every customer.
1T you have any fault to find with
this paint, eli her now in putting it on,
or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is right
at our expense
We become. you see, the partner of
every man that uses our paint; and the
partnership lasts as long as he chooses
to continue it.
Suppose 100 jobs Of painting are done
with Devoe lead and zinc this year; and
some OF them don't turn out satisfactory
two or three years from now. Our agent
has got to "do what is right at our ex-
| pense."
| OF course this means that we know
our paint is going to turn out all right.
We have been III business, we and our
fathers in business, las years; have
made a great deal of paint; and have
dealt with thousands and thousands Of
people Are not in the least afraid to
do what is right when job goes
wrong.
And, in this age of adulteration, we
say "Send it to YOUR state chemist. Il
he finds it is adulttrated, we will pay his
bill and send you 500"
There is such a hing as honest bust
ness yet in the world.
Yours truly,

Sunday School Workers in Session.

In 1918, or therea bouts, at Green's
boro. at a meeting of pioneer laborers
along the line of Biblical instruction, a
two-years.old girl stood upon the hand
of sturdy leader in that Sunday school
movement and sang a hymn.
At the State Sunday School Associa-
ton meeting at Barre on tuesday alter
noon of last week, that same singer
now an aged woman-appeared on the
platform and sang Tor her audience the
same hymn that she sang on that mem
orable occasion so many years ago.
This incident was the outcome OF a
brief address by Rev. P. B. Fisk OF
Greensboro, who called attention to this
interesting origin OF Sunday school
work in Vermont. After presenting
President Hawley with a gavel made
from the wood of which was cons ructed
the house where the first Sunday school
meeting was held he introduced Mrs.
Blake, the singer above mentioned, who
brought to the convention the greetings
of those co-workers of so long ago.
The convention as whole was profit
able to all concerned, and many excell-
ent points were made by the speakers.
Bishop Hall gave strong address on
the teaching oil scripture and the relation
of the Old TEST ament to the New. Su-
perintendent NJ. S. Stone made plea
for more earnest use Of the Bible as
text book in the Sunday school and less
devotion to the quarterlies and other
helps, and he presented some rather sur
prising proofs of the ignorance which
prevails among the children as to Bibli-
cal facts.
Miss Vella of Boston threw out many
helpful hints as to the teaching OF the
Younger children and the necessity of
the teachers getting close to the daily
life of the child. c. D. Meigs of lndlanap-
oils presented some effective methods OF
opening the door Of the pupils heart and
influencing his life tor good. Rev. A. S.
MacGregor, the new pastor of the Con
gregalional church at Newport, talked
impressively of the value of flmily wor-
ship and it's eff ct upon the children.
There were conferences by supetintend,
ents, and primary teachers, and aside
from the speakers mentioned there were
several Others who discussed the different
phases OF Sunday school work and
sought to arouse new interest and more
complete conservation on the part OF the
three hundred delegates who part1cl
pated in the meetings.
The officers for the ensuing year are al
follows:
President, D. M. Camp, Newport.

Terrible Explosion and Loss of Life
i'm New York.

The long list Of fire horrors that have
occurred in and around New York, list
that includes the Royal Hotel fire, the
Park Place disaster and the Windsor and
Hobok, fires was added to by fire
and explosion that shook the lower end
OF Manhattan like an earthquake, hurled
a seven-story building into the air and
set fire to two blocks Of buildings, with
loss of life that only the efforts OF the
hundreds of men who were rushed to the
work of digging away the ruins as soon
as the fire WAS extinguished will reveal.
Thirtv-fve persons are reported missing,
and hundreds of men, women and chill
dren are on the list of the injured. The
search for bodies is still going on. 1t is
reported that no firemen are among the
killed.
The monetary loss is estimated at
more than 81 100000. The big building
of Tarrant g. Co, makers OF medicinal
specalties, standing at the northwest
corner of Greenwich and Warren street,
and filled with chemicals, took fire in
some wav that may never be known at
about a quarter after II O. clock Monday
a ternoon. Explosions followed which
hurled the firemen in every dire ction III
uring several of them and making the
work OF subduing the flames a task Of
great difficulty. The fire spread to sur
rounding built ings, more explosions toll
lowed and the streets in the vicinity O
burning buildings were choked with {
mass of debris. A large force OF tiremer
struggled to prevent the spread OF thu
flames, but it was not until about three
O'Clock that the fire was under control.
After the flames had been subduec
search was begun tor the missing Up tt
yesterday, the total number who los
their lives could not be determined, bu
: the number will be large enough to b
cassed with the several terrible catas
tropics which have occurred in the me
tropolis during the past few years.
