Dear Sir: The cost of labor In paint
ing house is three times the cost of the
paint. You seem to save little when
you buy lower priced paint, but you
certainly add to the cost of labor when
you pay for spreading more gallons.
You don't even save on the paint. De-
voc Lead and Zinc costs little more
than mixed paints, but 1t takes fewer
gallons, and the cost Is actually less.
Wears longer too-longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil.
You don't save a cent.
Mr.. @. Loch, painter In Magnolia,
Miss, writes:
After years of experiments with mixed
paints, find that your paint covers more
ever used. For density and wearing quail
titles 1t cannot be excelled.
Compared with lead and oil A house
belonging to the late President of the
Croton River Bank, at Brewsters, N. Y,
(cost $31 ,000) was painted with lead and
oil In 'S4 at a cost Of $4OO. In 'S7-three
years-it was repainted with Devoe at a
cost of $3.50. In '97 the house was still
all right.
Results: lead and oil-cost $4OO, wear
three years; Devoe-cost $3.50, wears ten
years. Yours truly,

Mrs. Roosevelt the finishing touches are
being put upon the white house. The
long terraces, which extend from the east
and west sides Of the building, are being
ornamented with trees and shrubs. Some
of the latter are Dutch green bay trees,
which have been imported at cost of
about $500 apiece for this special pur-
pose. It is the intention to make Of the
roofs Of these terraces attractive prone
nades, where the guests of the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt will find 1t a pleasure
to stroll on balmy evenings during the
long Washington summer. The new por-
trait of the president by Sergeant has been
hung in the main corridor Of the white
house. While 1t is good likeness In
many respects, the critics say 1t lacks the
characteristic vigor and energy of the
president.

The Eucalyptus Tree.

The great value of the eucalyptus
tree lies in its remarkably quick growth
from the seed to the full sized tree.
Travellers in Australia have brought
back accounts of enormous native spec
linens. There was record of one
PROSTATE ancient forest giant of the
blue gum variety measuring, with al
lowances for the lost top, $50 feet. Such
a giant would have oyertopped the tall
est of California's living sequoias.
There are more than $50 kinds of euca-
lyptus which resemble each other,
though differing widely in size, height,
general outline and In appearance of
leaf and bark This tree is planted for
forest cover for naked hillsides as wind
breaks and hedges. The timber is val-
liable, the wood and leaves make excel
lent fuel, and from the latter is made a
drug extensively employed in medicine
and Surgery. The blossoms supply
I.syey supposed to possess specially hy-
gienic properties.

origin of the Cat.

In Arabian legends the cat is traced
back as far as Noah and the ark. 1t
is one of the animals that came off the
ark, but did not go on. When the 9th
er creatures entered for safety during
the time when 1.-The doors of heaven
were to be opened and the fountains
of the deep turned loose" there was no
cat among them. Puss' origin is ac-
counted for in this way:
During the time the ark was floating
about over The tall mountains mice and
rats became an intolerable nuisance to
the people ON the great vessel, and they
complained to Noah that everything
was being literally devoured by the
pesky vermin. That august parsonage
forthwith called the male lion to his
side and began to stroke his back,
whereupon the great beast sneezed
and, 10, a full sized cat was blown
from his nOStrilS!

The Huron Crowd Returned From
Athletic Event at Midnight
Friday.

The special train over the Omaha
road which took the Mitchell dele
CATION to the athletic and oratorical
contest at Huron, reached the city
about midnight Friday night, and it
was a well tired out crowd which
sleepily stepped from the cars. The
rain at Huron during the two days
interfered considerably with the
meet, although there was an i'm
mense crowd present.
Mention has been made Of the ora
toriCal contest, in which Miss Anna
Bagstad won first place. Her sum
Of points was 8 and those Of Albert
Wenz y, one Of the Judges marking
him extremely low on delivery,
which. under the circumstances
seemed rather uniustifiable. Mr..
Wenz did his work well and be should
feel very proud Of the fact that the
judges on thought and composition
gave him three first places, and this
is the point where a good many ora
tors fall down.
In the athletic contests Brookings
won first place. Brookings got ll6
points, Mitchell 46, Redefild 5, Yauk-
ton, B., and Huron Q. Mitchell was
handicapped in not having Miller in
i've events, where he stood a good
show to win, his practice work at
all times showing better records
than won the events at the meet.
He sustained an injury a few days
before going to Huron that prevented
him from doing much work.
Kingshcry the 440 yard hurdle
event in fine shape. Williams and
Ruth won the finals in tennis
doubles and Friday afternoon Will
liams took the finals in tennis singles.
The last event of the day was the
base ball game between Mitchell and
Bookings, the latter winning by a
score OF & to !, ten innings being
the score stood 5 to 3 in favor Of
Mitchell, when it began raining and
the game was suspended for some
time, and the ground was too Slip
perry for any kind OF decent work.
The game ought to have been called
at that point.
The Mitchell delegates report an
excellent time at Huron, and they
will all go back next year to take
in the events. An effort as m de to
locate the contests in Mitchell next
year, but the combination was too
strong against her.

place was awarded to Miss Bagstad,
of Yankton college. Albert Wenz, Of
Dakota University, Mitchell was

thought and composition received
three tirsts. On delivery he got a
marking Of second, third and fourth.
On delivery Miss Miss Bagstad got
the three tirsts.
Several finals were Il off on Thurs
day afternoon with the following re-
suits:

tanned a few days ago. He has been
throwing the BANNER 1876 feet. and
could have taken the event easy.
Brookines won first on the 22O yard
high hurdles, kingshery was second
by 3 inches, time 1925, which beats
the state record. Miller won the
shot put and is the only event he
wills.appear in.
On account of the rain Thursday

have to be done this afternoon to
finish up.

EVERETT SMITH DEAD
He Died Suddenly at Smithsfield,
c.. Where He Went Last Fall
for Indetinate Stay.

T he citizens of this city were SUI
prised and shocked Friday on
receiving word that Everett.Smith
was dead. VIM. NJ. Smith, a son,
received a telegram late Thursday
afternoon from Smithstield, n. c.,
announcing the sudden illness of his
father and another Friday morning
stating that there was no hope Of
his recovery. An hour later Mr..
Smith got a third message announc-
ing the death of his father. He left
on the II o'clock Milwaukee passen-
ger for Smithsfield and if it can be
arranged he will bring his fathers
remains to Mitchell for interment
by the side Of the wife. who preced-
ed him some years ago. Aside from
the son the deceased leaves a daugh-
ter, Mrs. II. R. Kibbee to mourn the
o IS of their father.
Last fall Mr.. Smith left for the
south to spend the winter among the
familiar scenes of his youth. and at
the time OF his death was at the old
home town, Smithsield. He came to
this country along in the early sos
and was connected with the United
States land office. He had never been
back to the south since he left it and
he made his arrangements early in
the summer to go. He has written
home many letters to his son and
daughter telling them Of the great
enjoyment he was experiencing IN
meeting old friends and visiting
scenes that were dear to him.

TIE CITY SCHOOLS.
BY the Superintendent.

The state superintendent called a
meeting of the city and county super
intendents and principals and presi-
dents Of the state schools at Canton
the 18th inst. for the purpose of
adopting a uniform course of tudy
for the high schools of the state.
He submitted a course which after
much discussion was referred to a
committee of ten for revision. This
committee reported a revised course
the next day which was finally adopt
ed. a uniform course Of study is de-
sirable because it is a step toward
state supervision and uniform state
examinations.
II is also a great convenience to
pupils who 90 fIom one school to
another.
The course adopted is not like that
in use in any city in the state.
In some particulars it is unsatisfac-
tory TO all, but as a whole it seemed
to be the best that could be agreed
upon. The principal differences from
the one we now have in S are as
follows: Latin is begun the first year
Of the high school instead of the Sec
ond; arithmetic is thrown out Of the
| high school entirely bookkeeping and
| civics are to come the first year in
stead of the last. Two years Of Gel
man are elective the last two years.
Twenty recitations a week are given
| in all grades, while at present only
seventeen are required during the
first three years. The adoption OF
| this course will demand greater at
tention to arithmetic in the grades.
| BY increasing the number OF recita-
lions and by adding two years OF
German Il greater teaching fore Will
be required.
The city Of Canton gave much at
tentlon to the teachers and made the
meeting very pleasant,
