Dear Sir: You understand chem

81, 900?
Devoe lead-and-zinc-that' the
name of our paint that takes fewer
gallons than mixed paint and
wears twice as long as lead-and-
Oils made of whitehead, white
zinc, its color, turpentine dryer,
and lin-seed oil.
If any chemist finds any adul-
teration in this paint We'll pay
his bill and $1,000 besides.
It's nob1dy's business what we
put in our paint, Of course; but
we want it known. For lead-and-
zinc and linseed oil, ground to-
gether by machinery, are the stuff
to paint with, and lead-and-oil
mixed by hand is not.
We want it known that one
work describes the best paint in
the world, and that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly

provide comfortable places in the
official fold for not Il few who are
at present languishing in the OBJ
scurity of private life and eking
out subsistence by the sweat of
their brows.
"The Legislature ought to scru-
tinize carefully every measure that
may be brought before it looking
to the establishment of a new
parish. Movements of this char
acter have broken out here and
there all over the State of late in
a manner that is calculated to ex-
cite suspicion. No new parish
should be created unless it is re-
quired to subserve the public
good. The army Of oficeholders
is large enough already in this

think so, and the taxpayer has
been the forgotten man long

ing the formation of the Parish of Blanchard
from sections of Avoyelles and st. Landry that
an agreement was reached here tonight which
will prevent any further effort being made to
form the new parish. According TO the story
told by this faction, the entire question origin
ated with the Congressman and Representa-

people of the Seventh District with what were
considered to be strictly Third District affairs.

The Baton Rouge correspond
ent Of the Daily States says:
''OtfG3f the matters which must
enter into the consideration of the
projectsdaunched for the creation
of new parishes is the fact that
the present House of Represen-
tatives is within one of the con-
stitutional limit upon the number
of representatives. Under the
constitution every parish must
have at least one member, and
manifestly three new parishes
cannot be formed at this time fo1
the very simple reason that they
would raise the present represen'
| tation to 118, when the organic
| law declares that the membership
shall not exceed 116. Only un.
der a new apportionment bill
| when the. census of 1910 is taken
could provision be made to meet
the creation of more than one
new parish. 1t is evident, there
fore, that the present Legislature
is powerless to institute three new
parishes. The people who are
advocating the division of Calca

chance to win here"

Clean Up!

AS the heated, sickly season is
now approaching, it would be an
excellent idea for every person to
clean up their premises and place
them in good sanitary condition:
All the back lots should be raked
off and the old rubbish burned.
A liberal use of lime and other
disinfectants would also help
matters. 1t will not only add to
the appearance of the town, but
may be the means of preventing
serious sickness. Clean up!
