L would be difficult to say to much
In commentator of the real merit of
7" A Royal Slave" in which Mr.. Clarence
Bennett is starring the West this
season. The play may be said to be
type OF its own from the rise to the
fall of the curtain, 1t appeals to all
classical drama and the strongest
dramatic features of the sensational
drama. 1t is full of heart interest
and pure sentiment. The devotation
OF the slave to the prosecuted child Of
his master, and the noble character of
the hero priest are true heart chords.
The play is based on an actual Incl
dent in Mexican history, and gave the
producers fine chance for the display
OF gorgeous scenery and costumes.

Dear Sir: There was time when
it paid painter to paint lead and oil

was When the market was full of poor

There are two ways to use zinc: YOU
can mix it in with lead in a tub. OF
buy Devoe Ready Paint, which is
ground by machinery.
Ii you mix your own lead and zinc
YOU gain something; if you buy Devoe
you gain more, because machinery
Goes better work than hand mixing

WHOLESALE GRAFT
SCHEME IS WORKED
by Agents Who Are Selling Goods Remark
ably Cheap"

The wholesale graft scheme has been
worked in this part Of the state by
men who represent themselves to be
agents for general supply houses which
sell to farmers at wholesale rates.
When securing orders notes are taken
for the amount. Upon delivery the
goods are found to be worthless, but
investigation shows that the notes
have already been discounted at the
banks. The same scheme is often
worked in different parts of the country
and 1T may be we'll for the farmers of
Wood county to take these words as a
gentle warning.
