Dear Sir: You own several houses
Your reason for painting Devoe lead
and zinc should be several times as
strong as the man who owns but one.
sIeed and oil was good enough paint
ill the merits of zinc were found out.
1t, was profitable 10 paint lead and oil
it was then-but not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes
Devoc lead and zinc last twice as long
and cost no more. costs less-a trifle
less. not much. Lead and oil Is mixed
by hand: Devoe lead and zinc by ma
chinery. Might as well make ones
shirts by hand as mix paints. Say it
costs 500 a house to paint lead and
oil: and it lasts three years
Say it costs the same for DevOe:
which lasts six years-it will last tep
years. in favorable conditions. unless
you want to repaint to change the
color.
The costs: lead and oil about $50 a
year: Devoe $l5-probably less.
Yours truly,

FIRST HOMESTEAD IN DAKOTA.
Printer Sat Up Until After Twelve New
Years Eve and Got His Receipt.

v = AAiAiAOA Wv bsV AhtIObAhNoAAs
There has been some controversy as to
who made the first and entry in Dakota
under the beneficent homestead act of 1862,
also as to where such claim was located.
Ii has generally been conceded that Mahlon
Cores entry was No. /, and some of the
historians have accepted that theory. Mr..
Gore himself is still numbered among the
living, and In reply 10 inquiries made lately
of him by the Hon. Franklin Taylor. of
this county, he writes clearly and conclu-
sively concerning the matter. Mr.. Gore is
now a resident of Florida, where for years
he has been a successful planter and in
fiuential citizen. He writes:
In July. 1862. i settled on a tract Of
land lying In the valley of the Big Sioux
river about three miles above Richland
and opposite the present town of Akron,
Ia. That summer / built a small house
and broke five TO ten acres of prairie.

could be accomplished on the ranch. But
