Saving the State.

In commenting on the vigorous
course now being pursued by two
of the leading Democratic papers
of the State, the Monroe Star
says: The New Orleans States
and the Shreveport Times seem
to be vieing with each other to
see which can put up the hottest
fight for the Democratic ticket.
So strenuous are they that the
uninitiated are in danger of being
led into the belief that General
Behan stands some show of being
elected. The State printing is a

Dear Sir: Messrs. Leachman &

been selling a paint which they
thought we'll Of, and this had oc-
Cured:
They bad sold a customer Is
gallons of it to paint his house.
A few years later they sold the
same man Devoe lead-and-zinc
the same number of gallons to
paint the same house. He had
Z gallons left.
The point of the tale is: II
gallons Devoe paints an 1S-gallon
house.
Do you want to sell it?
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does II gallons Devoe 60
as far as 1S gallons of other paint?
Because it is all paint, all true,
no sham, and full measure.
Do you want to sell it?
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts
longer. No, no; you haven't got
to wait ten years to find that out.
Ten thousand people know it.
We'ves got their names. Our
agents know them; they think a
heap of Devoe. There's no diff
Guilty in showing your townspeo-
pie whaC to expect of Devoe.
$40 will paint a SIS house, and the
paint'Il last twice as long.
Do you want to sell it?
