Gentlemen -
We want to donate some L. & M.
Paint to your church whenever they
paint.
The largest Methodist church in
Georgia expected to use 100 gallons of
the usual kind of paint, they only used
80 gallons l.. & M. mixed with "a gal
gallons Linseed Oil.
1t costs less to paint house with l..
& M. than with other paint, because
painter mixes Linseed Oil fresh from
the barrel at go cents gallon with l..
& NJ, and doesn't pay 81 so per gallon
for Linseed Oil as done if ready-for- use
paint is used. Also beca use l.. & M.
Zinc bardens the L. & NJ. White Lead
and makes the paint wear like iron.
Actual cost l.. & NJ. about $l.20 per
gallon.

LEADS IN POsTOFFICE RECEIPTS

Those who seek to show that Arizona is of unstable growth with ephemeral prosperity, could be shown in the United States postal statistics absolute refutation of their contention. There is no bet ter index to the real growth of a community than the receipts of a local postoffice The more in telligent the community the better patronized is the postoffice. Ari- zona sta nds the test with the high est degree of credit, making a much better showing than many com munities of much greater age.
 Responding to a request, Post master General George B. Cortel you has furnished the Los Angeles Times with a tabulation showing the total business of the Arizona post offices for each of the years from 1897 to 1905, inclusive. The territory's rank in umber of offices has remained steadily at No. 46, though the number nf offices has increased year by year from 1O5 to 26S.
 The business done and the amount per capita spent for postage for the year 1905 was $249.O17 20.
 According to the last report of the auditor for the postoffice de- partment in 1905, Arizona deposited surplus money order funds amount ing 10 $3.171 3O5, practically the same as deposited by Maryland, South Dakota and Utah, and great CT than the deposits of Idaho, Della ware. Kentucky, Nevada New Hampshire. New Mexico, North Carolina, Okla ahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina. Vermont or Wyom- ing. Delaware deposited only $389,7OS, Nevada $1O74.6S4, and New Mexico $1.374,743. The money order business done by all the offices show Arizona ahead of seven of the states, though supposed to rank next to the lowest in point of population. A tabulation of the domestic money order business done in each of the eight follows: Arizona. ......... $2,432 ,064 Delaware. ...... 5O4.799 Nevada ........ 1,5O6. .499 New Hampshire .... 2.3S421S New Mexico. ...... 1,2S6, ,9OS Rhode Island .... 1882 .626 Vermont ..... 2,313,S44 Wyoming. ng....... 1,62O.S7S
