Abolish Free Seeds.

purchase and distribution of free seeds
The amount appropriated directly for
this purpose is approximately Il quarter
of n million dollars annually. but that
amount represents only n part of the
expense incident To the maintenance OF
this useless system. II is estimated
that if the government were required
TO pay postage on the seeds SO distri-
butcd the cost would hc something like
three hundred thousand dollars year
Add 10 the original cost and the post

Gentlemen:
It's sound sense that we tell you.
1t will cost less dollars to paint your
church with l.. & NJ. Paint, because
more painting is done with one gallon
of l.. & NJ. than with two gallons OF

makes the L. & NJ. Paint wear like

Letter to c. T. Patton,
TaZewell, Va.
Oct. 10 Tyr.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes
and nails; your grandfather, if he was
blacksmith, made 'em. You can't af-
ford to hammer them out by hand.
when you can buy as good, or better
perhaps readymade to your hand, for
little more than the cost of iron.
What do you think of painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and
white lead, and mixing, and tinting by
hand, and charging his time for work
that is far better done than he can do
it, done by machinery, done as your
horseshoes and nails are made.
Mistake, isn't it?
He is wasting his chance in the
world. There is no better stuff to do
business with than good horseshoes
and paint; and no better work than
putting them on. Good horseshoes
well put on: It's the putting 'em on
that makes you a blacksmith: no mat
ter who makes 'em.
Who wants to go back to old times.
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two, that painter don't
know how to make good paint-he
used to; but paint has run away with
him.
Yours truly,
