Park Expert Robinson, in his report,
did not touch upon the question of
PAINTING. This is a very important
question indeed in this land of tropical
coioring. In the making of Paint,
Honesty is required, but in regards to
the proper harmonious coloring of your
property, a peculiar knowledge of color
is important, a knowledge that is not
only gift but must be acquired by
experience and study. We claim with
out fear of contradiction to be experts
in this line, and have at your service
an expert who has had thirty years
experience and who will willingly give
you his advice free.

that by concerted effort might have

plan is to raise a fund of $4,000 with

The taxpayers are beginning to
realize that their taxes Will be lower
this year than ever before, which
causes CONSERVATION in the democratic
party. They are already irving to
explain the cause by some unknown
hypothesis which is quite an under
taking. The secret is an open que.
The republican party-that party
which has always been the friends Ct
che common people-hls passed laws
shich equalize taxation placing the
burden on all alike. Thus the rich
snsn must pay in proportion to his
wealth, and the poor man must do
likewise. In the face of such honest
legislation we cannot see, nor vaguely
imagine, how a democrat can CON
sscientiously walk up to the polls and
vote 80 rep al t7ese laws which he
knows full well have placed dollars in
his p0cset, And we don't believe

He also got q double aud a single.
Old man Brown and Russler got fine
dou les. That of the old man went

Lane and Russler are improving in
