Special to Times Republican.
Vail, Jan. There was a crowd Of
about forty young people who gave
Mr.. and Mrs e. T. McAndTews, north

was some insurance on the BAN in
the Kiron Mutual, but not enough to
cover but very little Of the loss. It is
not known just how the fire origin

Letter to W. E. Smith.
Grenada.

Dear Sir: You know diamonds
don t go by size. So with paint.
We make paint, one gallon of which
goes as far as two of another and lasts
twice as long: that's four to one.
You know it is true in diamonds:
they don't go by the gallon, do they:
If you're going to paint your house,
you 60 first to your painter and say:
''I'm going to paint: do you want the
job? and what IL it cost?'
If he happens to know, he'll say:
Depends on the paint. l can do it
for somewhere about 800 or 5000,
whichever you like: 800 will make a
good job; 5000 poor one.''
And you. if you happen to have
your wits, I'll say: ''I'll take the good
one, when'll you do it?''
Painters ought, all, to know about
paint; and jewelers. ought to be able to
get a good job. We do what we can
to help both.
O1e gallon Devoe is better than two
of average paint, goes as far-that is,
your house will take about 20 gallons
Devoe and 40 OF average paint-ano
Devoe will wear long time, the life
of average paint is very uncertain, il
may be year, it may be five.
Why is it that painters don't know
about paint? Do jewelers. know about
diamonds? They know more than they
tell sometimes. There are painters
and painters. so there are jewellers: sc
there is paint and the least gallons
paint is DevOe.
Yours truly
