Dear Sir The COS, of labor In painting
a house Is three times the cos, 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 fnr spreading more gallons.
You don't even save on the pain,
Devoe LeRo and Iint costs little more
than mixed paints, but Il takes fewer
gallons. and the eJst Il actually les.
Wears longer too longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil
You don't save a cent.
Mr.. &. Loeb, a painter In Magnolia,
Miss. writes:
After years OF eNperimc, q with mixed
paints. I find that your paint covers NOR,

general comment that it does not make
as much noise as the old one. The Santa

it was being operated only under half

THE rRUrH AT 80.

Under the above caption the Wash

be the true story of the capture and
ransoming of Miss Ellen Stone cas- fol-
lows:
me diplomatic correspondence which
Followed the kidnapping by Bulgarian
prigands of the American missionary,
MISS Ellen Stone, justifes the comments
on the sensible newspapers at the time
we now know upon the highest official
authority what the Post and other con
servatiVe journals believed at the very
outset that Miss Stone was not seized
by the Turks; that the outrage was not
prompted by any Mohammedan hatred
OF Christian persons or their works:
mat on the contrary Miss Stone was
the victim of Christian brigands of most
orthodox piety. and the money extorted
for her ransom was used by the Mace
DOMAIN commitlee-comp of the
most devout Christians-in political
conspiraeies and intrigues against Tur-
key
1t reads like the nbretto of an opera
bouite. The capture was made by the
Bulgarians for two reasons First they
wanted the money for their own pur-
poses, and, secondly. they hated and de-
Epised the missionaries anyhow Then

Governor Bailey stated when the can
didates first began coming to him
that he would make no appoint
menI until after Judge Fagan's funeral,
which was held this afternoon. Today
the candidates and their friends have
been keeping the doors to the governor
office swinging all the time. No sooner
would one go than another would come
in. Finally the governor thought he
was about to escape and was leaving
his office when ne ran into Edward
Wilder. Mr. Wilder wanted some law
and order man appointed, preferably c.
P. Bolmar.
The appointment will be made tomor-
row morning on account of the pressure
of business in the office of the probate
judge. There can be no business trans
acted in that office until a new Judge
is named. and there are a lot of mar
riage licenses wanted. Weddings which
have been scheduled for the first three
days of this week nave either had to
be postponed or the grooms have had
to go to some other county for their
marriage licenses.
The office of probate judge is one of
the best in the county. 1t is said to
pay about $4,000 a year The returns
from the fees allowed by the prohibit
tory law alone amount to from 1.200
to 81, 500 a year, and they are only
small part of the business of the office.
Mr.. Hayden, who will probably be APP
pointed. corralled a fine line of endorse
ments for the place. He secured en-
dorsements from all the county officers,
from 80 out of "a members of the Re
publican county central committee.
From D. ". AIulvane. Charles Curtis
and T. A AcNeal. and he had Senator

inent Republicans, including all of the

FRUIT NEARLY GONE.
Very Few Apples Weathered the
FrOsts Says Mr.. Wellhouse.


Reports from fruit growers over the
state to the State Horticultural society
indicate that there viii be a good many
apples raised this year. Notwithstanding
the frost The reports are almost unanl-
nous, however. that the cherries have
all been killed. The cherry pie crop this
summer VIII therefore be cut short A
few counties in the southern part of the
state report that they will have a con-
siderable quantity of cherries, but over
the rest OF the state the cherry crop
seems to have been killed.
Judge Fred Wellhouse, the apple
king, has been inspecting his big Leav-
enworth county orchard, and he writes
as follows:
I have just made careful examina-
ton of our trees here and find the APP
pies practically all dead and ready to
drop About one per cent Of the Jona
than appears to be sound. but their vi
tality is SO weakened that they proba-
bly, viii drop. It is only in the last few
days that these conditions have become
apparent"
Strawberries win make from one
fourth to one-half aaerop in gnany coun-
coalition. A very few counties report
that Strawberries have not been badly
damaged.
There are a good many peaches left,
although many correspondents report a
great deal of damage. The reports run
all the way from 10 per cent of crop
in Miami county to 100 per cent in Paw
nee county. Several southern counties
report the peach crop in good condi-
ton.
Concerning grapes Secretary Barnes
says The new growth including the
fruit bud clusters were killed all over
the state. These viii all start again,
and in some instances where the bud
starts from the old wood they will bear
new clusters. Where they start from
the remains of the frozen sprouts they
are not liable to bear fruit. Do not cut
away any old wood, but rub off super
fiuous growth and on weak vines rub
off still more, destroying mainly that
which is farthest from the root. Grape
that are closely Druned each year have
a tremendous root growth in proportion
to the top and hence have great reserve

New Hampshire's Eleven Cities
Vote for License.

Chicago, May 13.-A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Concord, N. H..
says:
Every one of New Hampshire's eleven
cities yesterday voted to grant licenses
for the sale of Intoxicating liquors for
the coming year. OF the 135 towns so
far heard from, one hundred want no
license and the remainder in favor.
This was the first time the people of
the cities and towns had voted on
license under the recently adopted re-
peal of the state prohibition law and
the overwhelming vote in favor of the
sale of liquor in the cities was the sur
prise of the day.
The license" majorities as far as re
ported were: Concord, 1913; Somers-
worth. 635, in a total vote of 961; Ber-
liz, S74; Keene, so: Dover, 1876; Nashua,
1.514; Rochester, 351; Manchester about
], 200; Portsmouth about 900.
The license fees under the new law
are fixed by law, and are very high,
81 600 in the towns, and more in the
cities The number of saloons is limited
by law.
