Letter to VIM. Andrews.
Montpelier, Vt.

Dear Sr: You take interest in your
work and you want every stroke of
the brush to do all that it can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc makes every
stroke of the brush count. Mixed
paint wastes fifteen to eighty per
cent. of every stroke-depends upon
the amount of adulteration in the
mixed paint.
That's what we mean by 'fewer
gallons. - We can't dwell on every
reason for using Devoe Lead and Zinc
There are too many.
e. R. Bowman, Girard, Pa, writes 4:
Mr. Burt Young bought one gallon
of Devoe Lead and Zinc in halves to
paint rooms on which he had always
used one gallon of mixed paint one
half gallon of Devoe did the work and
he returned tie other half gallon.
Yours truly,
f. w. Devoe & Co.

The committee appointed by the
Farmers Board Of Trade of st. Adams
Bay met on Saturday April IS and con-
cluded to refuse the price offered by
the r. @. Payson company of IS per
ton for corn and to recommend to the
farmers that they refuse to raise corn
at less than $40 per ton. 1t is under
stood that the Mortified Changers and
farmers generally in that vicinity are
inclined to take the same position as
the st. Adams corn growers and that
they will refuse to raise corn at a less
price than $40, while many do not
think they should do so for less than

The United States Geological Sur
vey has made arrangements with
Prof. George II. Perkins, of the Uni
versity of Vermont, to undertake in
connection with his work as State
geologist the investigation of the
sources and qualities of the waters
used for domestic and manufacturing
purposes throughout the State, es-
pecially those derived from deep
wells and from springs. Professor
Perkins will visit the districts in
which the deeper wells and more inn
portant springs are located, and will
collect information regarding the
depths of the water supplies, the vol
ume of water obtainable. and its
chemical and sanitary properties. 1t
is hoped that the Investigations, the
result of which when completed will
be publish by the survey in re-
port for free distribution to the peo-
pie, will throw new light on the &C.
currence of water both in the bedded
and in the granitic rocks, and es-
pecially ON the relation of rock waters
to the presence of joints or other
assures in the rocks.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Extensive short
selling, not unmixed with some liquidation
was the feature of the days stock, par
tlcdlarly during the early session Much
OF the selling was based on unfavorable
crop reports.
While the market movement was gov
efned largely by this factor. others almost
as serious exerted nearly as much infiu-
ence London reported that the Mace
DOMAIN situation had assumed a more Sc
pious aspect, and this, with the probable
cIlslS III the British cabinet, bringing in
creased weakness to consoIs. made for

counts IN London and Paris was reported.
aitnough Paris exchange on London was
easier: For all that, London bought per

A3 a Southern Pacific and Erie 1t
Is quite probable that all of these transac-
lions were of the arbitrage sort The To-
cal market opened with rather more than
Ine recent amount of activity, giving
promise of a busy day. Fractional declines
were the rule, but a rally soon followed
under the lead of Atchison.
St. Paul Is Strong.
Other features of strength at this time
were ST. Paul and Reading. A number
OF inactive issues, including General Elec-
TIC, National Biscuit and Virginia Car
DINA Chemical were traded in moderateIy

siderable snort covering. A decline of 81

was In striking contrast to the material

Increased Earnings.
The Erie statement for the quarter end
ed June 80 was issued, showing an in
crease in net earnings of more than
y, 5oe, 000 and surplus increase of $780,
600. An increase of 1925, 900 in net earn
lngs for the year was shown by the Chi
cago, Indianapolis & Louisville road
There was only a slight further drain on
local cash holdings, $3.50, 900 being shipped
to New Orleans. An item of greater sig
nificance was the government report,
showing an excess of imports over ex-
ports for August of $7,550, 000
The feature of the bond market was the

and on large scale.

Corn Traders Hold off.
Corn had occasional spurts of activity,
holding off until conditions can be more
accurately judged. Prices were down
early because the expected frosts were
not realized, but upon renewed reports of

was renewed activity in the ranks of the
shorts. The result was reaction from

reached, to 52Bc, but the strength did
not hold. Profit-taking brought the price
of that option back to size, where it
closed. barely steady, with q loss of &c.
The market was nervous, offerings light
and trade very moderate in volume. Lo-
cal receipts were 765 cars, with As Of
