Have You found it ont in your own ex-

How much further?
Suppose a job amounts to 10000
square feet, how much less Devoe could
you buy?
Is it easy to paint? Does it cost more
or less to put-on by the gallon than any
thing else? How much?
II it costs no more to put-on Devoe by
the gallon, it costs less by the foot, you
know; for the gallon does more feet How
much less do you find it, for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is the
owners gain; but. perhaps you reckon it
yours; some do. The time, when that
cOmes-in, is when he gives out the next
job. Who gets it?

About Opening and Closing the Dis

Complaint is made that the dis
pensarv closes too early and the
GOLD LEAF is appealed to to correct
this as all other wrongs. OF course
it is something with which we have
nothing to do but it suggests com
ment or two. The hours we believe
are from sunrise until sunset. When
it is cloudy one is more likely to mis-
take the time and perhaps it would
be better to have certain hours for
opening and closing-say from 6 or Z
o'clock in the morning until 6 O'Clock
in the afternoon. Then a person with
q watch or who can ask the time need
not have the doors close on him
or if he does it will be his fault alone
and he cannot charge arbitrary con-
duct.

The subject was generally pronounced
well discussed, arguments surprising

judges which was in favor of the mega

the audiance to go wild by rendering
