Letter to Jacob Glover Il Son.

Stafford, Conn.
Dear Sirs: You understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and corn.
We understand grinding whitehead and
white zinc. The two sorts Of grinding
are not much alike. Very likely oats and
wheat behave very differently In the mill,
and you manage them diffently-we know
very little about your work don't need
to; we'd rather depend on you.
But we paint your house and mill, and
out buildings; perhaps you'd be glad to
know about grinding paint for some peo-
pie mix their paint with stick In tub.
We use lead and zinc-nothing else.
And our zinc Is as tough as your oats.
Tub mixers imagine they mix it. They
don't; they can't. Takes grinding to
mix lead and zinc.
They are both white. Tub-mixers
don't know 1t; but tub mixed lead and
zinc is a streak of one alongside of a
streak of the other.
We grind as you grind; and our paint
Is lead and zinc ground together, mixed
intimately: 1t is neither lead nor zinc, but
lead and zinc: the lead Is lost, and the
zinc Is lost: each lost In the other: both
lost In the mixture. Lead chalks and
zinc peels: lead and zinc ground together
hang on and protect each other.
We take care Of your mill outside; you
take care Of 1t inside.
Yours truly,
26 r. W. DKvoR 4 Co.

In 1775 a prize was given to the
colonist of Carolina who produced
the first native pins and needles. Dur
ing the war Of 1912. when, owing to
restrictions upon commerce, the price
of pins rose to the enormous sum of
81 per paper, the manufacture was
actually started in the United States,
but does not seem to have met with
success, as the enterprise was soon
abandoned. The industry was not fair
ly started in this country until the
year 1886.
The early pins in this country, as in
England, were made with globular
heads of fine twisted wire, made sep
arately. and secured to the shank by
compression from a falling block and
die These old pins had the misfor-
tune of often parting with their heads.
1t was to overcome this difficulty that
the attention of carly inventors was
directed. The solid headed pin, in
common use today. took the place Of
the old form about 1910.

Barnard was tall and dark. His

a virile energy. He gave courteous

 "rhs sso was advanced to get Mr. Lee to Skagway, as lt was the best the board could do. When the new directors as- sumsd the direction of the aff,irs of the school, they had only four weeks In which to select teachers ane get them to work. We had many applications, It Is true. So far as remember none of them fixed a salary at less than SIa5 per month and many of them required that theIr expensss to Skagway be paid by the school board. We Investigated the applicants as carefully as the facilities would permit We heard of Mr. Lee and his recommendations were satisfactory. He was telsgraphsd to and agreed to come for Sras and the expense Of coming North. We had only TO days left In which to get the school started, so were compelled to aeeede to the terms. ItI was simply the best the directors could do. lt Is a consolation, under the circumstances, especially, that we got a good principal. Mr. Lee has recognized the school after the manner of the Oregon schools, and 1t Is in an exceedingly satisfactory condition. Mr. Lee Is as good a principal as could be secured at the terms.
 ''lt Is true that Mr. Lee Is also nomln- ally the jinitor. Ills appointment came about ln a way altogether eredltabIe to him. The board had difficulty in securing a jlnltOr who understood the furnaces and the first efforts failed.

The members of the school board resent the occusltIOus made by members of the eitv council and others at the meeting Monday night. They hold that the elty council has no proper business to erltlelss Che management of the school affairs. They say that the council can either ap- proprlats the funds asked ioT the running expenses of the schools or reduce the amount or refuse to make an appropriation. There Its supervision over the affairs of the school, financial or otherwise ceases
 In speaking of the matter yesieTd'H Mr. Britt said, h addition toihs substance Of the foregoing:
 "We hold that the council Is discussing things that does not concern It's members, We are employed by the people Of Skag- way and not by the eItv council, and whenever the people arc not satisfied with our management, l, for one, am ready to step down and out,
 "But Ihlvs no objection to s,ylog that It Is not the purpo of the directors to run the school fund ln debt. AS soon as lt becomes apparent that the expenditures have squlled the revenues the schools will be closed.
 "The charge that the meetings Of the school board are ssast Is Incorrect I,Is true that the first two or three meetings, when the teachers were belog selected, were secret. and the purpose for that Is Ob- vlous. Elch of the many applicants for positions had friends who were urging the claims of their fnyorltss at every OppOr- tunlty. The members of the board wanted to meet under circumstances where they could discuss the merits and QualIh- cation of the respective applicants freely, without embarrassing anyone. The meet Ings are now open to the public and have been SO for ng time.
 "Ths matter Of keeping the expenses down to the lowest possible limit Is one that has received much consideration by the board. There are iss pupils h the school and these gre divided among five teachers. The number could not be re- duced without Injury to the school.
