LETTER TO B. B. JEROME,
BARTON, VT.


Dear Sir: Let's have little private talk
by ourselves on business; nobody else, please
read.
You want to know how to do a cheap job of
painting, and have it look good. Here it is:
The cheapest thing there is in the way of a
good-looking job-say nothing about its being
goods Devoe: the regular thing in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further than
anything else. Lead and oil is good looking;
don't so so far and costs more. The other
paints are more or less short in one way or
another; don't go so far and costs more than
D voc
Devoe costs least of all; you don't mind it's
lasting longer, do you? We can't help it; a
paint that goes further lasts longer; we can't
help it.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
10 New York.

(S) We denouuce the attempt
that is beiog made by the support
ers OF existing conditions in this
Territory to raise race issues, and
we charge that such attempt is be-
iug made for the sole purpose OF
misleading the people Of the United
States aud Of creating sentiment
abroad prejudicial to the Hawaiian
people. The entire history of the
Hawaiian race for more than half
century affords abundant testimony
OF the fact that the Hawaiians desire
to live upon terms of friendship,
justice aud equity with all people
who come amongst them, and that
strangers are Hospitality received
aud given opportunities in public
as well rs private life, commensur-
ate with their deserts.
~ We declare ourselves in fsv-
or OF the immediate extension by
the Congress of the United States
of the Americar system Of public
land laws to the Territory OF Ha-
waii, firmly believing that in such
extension lies our only hops OF pre-
venting the public domain from
falling into the hands OF great cor
porations and a few favored in
dividuals.
We proclaim our loyalty to the
principles of American government
and to the citiz snship which we
enjoy, and inspired by the sense

dence which has ever characterized

At present, to large number OF
people, the county bill only means
the multiplication OF Offices and an
opportunity for some more people
to get a salary. II does not mean
to them the choice Of candidate

the choice OF candidate upon per-

slightest regard to his qualifications.

An Occupation ut Which They Gem

According to Mrs Virginia c. Mere
dIth, professor of home economics in
the Minnesota School of Agriculture,
farming is pursuit in which women
may achieve pronounced success for
the reason that nature has fitted them
for It.

TO the opinion of the uninitiated mn

Meredith. ''why feminine? Because

otherwise, possesses genius for de-
tail. Then it gives her a home.
thing almost impossible to secure in the
very start-at least in most fields of
feminine labor-and, most important of
all, she meets not with opposition, but
with chivalrous cooperation from the
men In the business. Sir Charles Dud-
ley, an,eminent Englishman, writing of
the Americans, says that the distin-
gushing thing about the farmers is
their respect for women. We women
who have. made farming our business
can gladly voueh for that
Another idea, now nearly exploded
however, is TINT a woman would find 1t
difficult, If not impossible, to get men
to work for her. For my part, /, who
am both housekeeper and farmer, could
sooner and more easily hire twenty
farm hands than one servant girl. /
think this due partly to the fact that
men who work on farms know that
they receive better treatment, as n rule.

AS regards the profits in the busi.
ness, both my friends and myself can
testify TINT farming pays. For instance,
