Dear Sir: In making pastora

ease yon go where your people live
But yOu have two sets of feeling in
going adout-can't help tive al

a part of your business is sympathy
Well-kept lawns and well-tilled
fields, nice homes and nice people
are cheerful to you, as they are tC
everyone. Tumble down buildings,
poor fences, men harrassed by bur
dens too heavy for them, over

children, you may be strong to get
on with; bnt you would be more
than hnman to find inspiration in
misery.
Paint divides the two sorts of
people: one paints, and the other
don't. Or, perhaps, the thrifty
paint we'll; the urthrifty paint ill.
To paint we'll is to keep paint
sound. There are two ways to do
it: one is bound to paint often the
other to use good paint.
1t costs about half as much to
paint Devoe rs to paint with any
other paint; for Devoe takes fewer
gallons than mixed paints and wears
twice as long as lead-andoil.
The thrifty and comfortable have
the art of using money more wisely.
How lucky they are F! how happy!
Yours truly
