Dear Sir: A big mill-owuer.
Spartanburg, S c, wanted 5000
gallons of paint, and bought by
price; paid 5 cents less than ours
got a "lead -and-zinc" paint; but
the lead was sulphate of lead, not
carbonate. Sulphate costs about
half; and covers about half.
That paint was adulterated
about six times as much as the 5
cents paid for. He Saved" 5 cnnts
and it cost him 30.
Oh no; it cost him more than
that, we forgot the labor. Can't
work it out exactly; don't know
how long it'll wear.
Short-measure beaides; that
alone was twice as much as biz
"saving" Scents,
1t was thin, too; some loss
there; don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in il.
The maker made something on
that; be didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn't
make much by that 5 cents.
Go by the name; and the name
is Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE.

"What's the Use' People.

In EVERY community there is a particular class of individuals
who might we'll be termed whats the use' people. That is, those
within whom the milk of human kindness is badly curdled, and
who take a pessimisdc view of any subject brought up looking to
the public good. When a movement is started, the success or fall
,ure Of which depends, to a great extent, upon the hearty co-opera-
ton of every person, they pick out threads Of doubt and weave
them into cables of objections, and hang back. Then should a fail
'ure occur, comes a Il told you So" Now, you take these kind of
people, and we might say that almost without exception, they have
no suggestions to offer and no theories to advance, but usually
stand around with a facial expression like that of a goat that had
swallowed a ~grindstone. In some cases they might have an argu-
ment, but deno make it in public. Instead they round up some
similarly consipated individual, who will lend a willing ear, and
pour out a tale of woe that would soften the heart of a wheelbar-
row. Elk City is fortunate in possessing none of these people and
the result can be plainly seen-on several seemingly almost impos-
sible undertakings we have tackled very encouraging progress is
being made.

Cost Of Rural Delivery.

Estimates now being prepared at
Che Postoffice Department showing
the probable cost of MAINTAINING the
rural free delivery service during the
fiscal year 1905-1906. and upon which
tho appropriations made at the COM
ing session Of Congress will be based,
indicate that the delivery in operation
at the end of next June will cost about
$20,000,000 year to maintain. 1t is
stated that in order that the service
may be extended In conformity with
the present plans of the department
and what are believed to be the
wishes Of both houses of Congress, an
additional sum of s6,000O00 will be
necessary. The present plans contem-
plate a gradual and reasonable ad-
vance in the expenditures each year
until the grand total of S40,000,000 Is
reached. 1t is believed that eventually
practically the entire country can be
covered with network of rural routes
in operation for this annual expend-
iture.
Forty millions of dollars is a gener-
Gus sum. but in no other way, perhaps,
could the money be more advantage
ously and benefcially expended than
in giving to the rural communities
throughout the country as rapidly as
circumstances make it practicable. an
efficient free delivery service.-Omaha
