Dear Sir: Now. may be, you can't get
the goods; if you can, your fortune is
made.
Cotton cloth-they call it muslin in
some parts-at about the usual price
per yard, but wider, twice as wide as
some, and better, wears better. keeps
better, keeps white and whole sur
prising time in all sorts of wear.
You could sell that cloth for hun
dreds of miles; there'd be no limit.
A yard goes further; one buys less
yards. Wears longer; one buys less
often. 1t always looks right till we'll
worn-out. No one customer buys 80
much of it, but think of the number of
customers!
May be you can't get it in cloth: but
you can in paint: Devoe. Devoe is as
if it we've wider; gallon goes further;
you buy less gallons; you pay for
less gallons; you pay for painting less
gallons-as if one paid less for making
garment of that wide cloth-and ii
keeps it's fresh look and sheds water
till you have forgotten how old it is.
1t isu't true in cloth, but it is in
paint the less you pay. the better it is;
for the goodness of paint is reckoned
by gallons; less gallons. more goodness.
Goodness in paint is strength. The
stranger paint, the less gallons il
takes for job and the longer it wears

ADDRESS OF j. H. RowELL, JR.

The subject that has been given to
your trustees for discussion is. "Should
School Trustees and County Judges
Have Moral and Educational Qualifica.
TONS"
Should the question of whether my
name be placed on the program have
been left optional with me, it is need
less to say l would not appear before
you this evening. Should the choosing
of subject been left with me you know
1 would have taken different subject.
You can readily see how discussion of
the subject by one who happens to fill
the position of trustee might easily be
turned into criticism of ones self. |
have always believed that an unpleas-
ant duty if performed cheerfully and
faithfully would result in more good
both to the person performing the act
and the cause, than pleasant duty,
therefore have decided. hoping for the
good of the cause, to give you my views
on the subject.
take the position that county judges
and school trustees should have pro-
nounced moral and educational qualifi-
cations, Take the position of county
judges where they are also county su-
perintendents. The success of the
schools of the county more largely rests
with the county judge than any one
else. If he be moral man he should
naturally draw strong moral men to fill
| the position of school trustee. If the
school trustees are moral and educated
men they will not appoint any teacher
whose morals and education are weak.
If you will ALLOW me, will say while
the law of the State itself says in sub
stance, our public schools must be kept
free of sectarianism, still / take the po-
sition, no teacher should be employed
to teach in the public schools who has
hot pronounced religious convictions as
well as morally and mentally up to the
standard. 1t is well known fact, you
can take young child and in few
years have his morals and education so
developed or weakened that it will be
almost impossible to change him from
his early training You know the good
book says train up child in the way
he should go and when he Is old he Will
not depart from it,"
Since the county judge and trustees
are in truth responsible for the appoint.
