LETTER TO NJ. L. DU1TON,
Auuu usta, Maine,

Dear Sir, You are teacher: here's
one Of your boys:
If the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint and one
paint goes twice as far aS another. how
much are those two paints worth?
If Devoe is worth s.5o Of sl.15 gal
Ion. how much is the other one worth?
How much is a gallon of paint worth
anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the paint.
The reason is: paint isn't always
paint. There are true and false paint
and shortmeasure.
How much is a short-measnre gallon
worth? How much is false paint
worth: How much is Devoe worth?
There are millions year in the
answer to this last one.
Yours truly.
