Dear Sir: One coat of Devoe is
better than two of some mixed
paints.
The American House, at Tanners
vile (Catskill Mts.), N. z, Chas. L.
Wiltse, had two coats of paint five
years ago; last spring had two more
coats of the same paint.
Owner was going to use Devoe but
got the other paint few cents less.
Right across street, Charles Haner
painted one coat of Devoe at the
same time-last spring.
The Haner house is the better job;
but wait FIVE years.
The point of the story is that Wiltse
is sorry already. He has learned a
thing that not one man in thousand
knows-that q gallon of one kind of
paint can contain twice as much
paint as a gallon of another kind
of paint.
You can't afford to put on another
paint even If you have 1t given to
You. At the same time, you see, that
Mr.. Wiltse's paint appears to have
worn five years-give the devil his
due.
Our Agents in oskaloosa are Green
& Bentley Drug 90.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & 90.

a two-fold mission, for the partici-

apiece, and had royal good time. AT
ter completing their ride they stopped
at the Traction Office to pay their re-
spects to the company, and here they
got off the following yell in a manner
that would do credit to a college foot

local paper. He was we'll known in
and around OskaloOsa:
"WilIiam Crafty died after an ILL
ness of only four or FIVE hours, at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Goodrich,
near Brighton, California, having
been seized with severe pains in the
upper part of the chest. He had been
more or less afflicted with such pains
since having had asthma for a num-
Der of years, the trouble perhaps be-
ing withsthe heart or aorta. The re-
mains were shipped here for inter-
ment, accompanied on the long, sad
journey by the devoted wife and the
loving grand daughter. The remains
arrived Saturday evening and the
funeral was held from the home Of
his son, w. n. Crafty, at p. m. on
Sunday, Rev. Trump, the pastor OF
the deceased, officiating.
william, son of James and Chris
tina (Carr) Crafty, was born June 20,
1925, in Delaware county, Ohio. Died
near Brighton, California, Jan. 10,
1908. The early part Of his life was
spent on farm. After his fathers
death he worked In a tannery for two
years; but this not agreeing with him
he learned the carpenter trade, at
which he worked for many years.
During the six years succeeding the
war he travelled for marble firm in
Iowa. Later he engaged in business
In EIgin, from which he retired some
ten years ago on account Of failing
strength.
SKIS home was in Ohio until 1855,
when he moved to Indianapolis, Iowa,
where he resided until 1852 when he
enlisted in Company e, S3d Iowa Vol
unteer Infantry and served his conn
try we'll until he was honorably dis
charged In January, 1865. He then
lived in Oskaloosa, Iowa, until 1882,

HAWKEYE LUMBER CO
Buys Big Yards at Centervi1Ie,
Jerome and Mystic.

] Centerville Citizen: One Of thu
largest transfers of business interests
in the history of Centerville was the
sale this week of the Lewis Lumber
Company yards at Centerville, Mystic
and Jerome to the Hawkeye Lumber
Company of Oskaloosa. While the
transfer has not yet been fully made
the sale has been agreed upon and will
be finally closed up Monday Of next
week. A Citizen representative
called upon Mr.. c. NJ. Gregg, secretary
of the Lewis Lumber Company and
manager of the CentervilIe yards, this
morning to ascertain the truth of the
rumored sale and other matters re-
garding it that will be of interest to
the public. Mr.. Gregg said that the
sale had been made and that it would
be finally closed up next Monday. He
would not make an estimate Of lne
amount of the consideration, but said
that the yards at Centeryille, Mystic
and Jerome and all of the real estate
upon which these yards are located
were included in the deal, which goes
far enough to enable one to estimate
the consideration as being over $780,
900. The Centerville yard is one of
the largest retail yards in the state
and carries an immense stock of lum.
Der at all Lessons of the year.
The officers of the Lewis Lumber
Company, which is an incorporation,
are, G. M. Lewis, president and treas.
urer; L. w. Lewis, vice-president; G.
NJ. Gregg, secretary. The Lewis Lum-
Der company formerly owned and op-
Grated a yard at Seymour, but practi-
cally disposed of it last year, it going
into the ownership and control of the
Lewis Parker Lumber Company with
c. M. Gregg as president; e. S. Parker,
vice-president and treasurer; and H.
S. Eckels, secretary.
The Hawkeye Lumber company is a
strong corporation, being incorporated
at 100000. 1t owns and controls
yards at Oskaloosa, Fl. Madison, Abba,
Lovilia, Osceola, Creston and Mt. Ayr.
The officers are: VIM. Burnside,
president; 2. w. Hutchinson, vice.
president; H. S. Howard, treasurer;
Ralph H. Burnside, secretary and gen.
eral manager. 1t is one of the strong
est institutions in Iowa, and while Cen
terville is loath to give up the Lewis
Lumber Company, she can be congrat-
ulated in securing so strong an insti-
tuition as the Hawkeye Lumber COM
pany. The Lewis Lumber company
has considerable real estate in Center
vile and Appanoose county which it
will close out and wind up all of its
business affairs. Mr.. Gregg expects to
go to Washington state to there en-
gage in the lumber business, and his
brother, G. D. Gregg, who has been
employed with the Lewis Lumber COM
pany will go with him. -s..'a
1t is likely that John Ballew, manag-
er of the Abba yard will come to Gen.
terville to take charge of this yard and
the other employees here will be re-
tanned in their old positions.

NEW CORN AND COB RECORD
Missouri Farmers Who VIII Shell
 Their Corn Before Selling It.

Their Corn Before selling 1t.
 According to good authorities, the highest average amount of corn to the cob that can be raised is about SS per cent corn and 12 per cent cob. But the high authorities had not heard from Missouri when they figured up their average, and two Cooper county farm CTS have recently made it look like 30 cents, says the Kansas City Journal
 W. !. Mcfarland of near Boonville recently weighed seventy pounds of corn in the ear. He then shelled the corn and weighed corn and cobs sepa- rately. The corn weighed sixty -four and one-half pounds and the cobs five and one-half pounds, making 92 IT per cent corn and 7 76-7 per cent cob. The corn was exhibited at the Boonville corn show. R. B. Johnston of Clark's Fork, who made display at the Boon vile show of thirty-nine pounds of corn, found after smelling it that his corn weighed thirty four and one-half pounds and his cobs four and one-half pounds-that is, he raised S8 6-13 per cent corn to Il 7-13 per cent cob.
 Tn almost all the states of the Union seventy pounds of corn on the cob is considered bushel and fifty six pounds off the cob. It would pay men who raise such corn as do Messrs. McFar- land and Johnston to shell their corn before selling it.
