THIS YEARS HORSE SHOW

July 18th and 10Th are the dates
for the third show OF the Freder-

These dates are convenient for both
city and country people. There Is
every reason to suppose that the

be one Of the best open air shows IN
Virginia. All that is needed to
make it such is the earnest and
hearty cooperation OF our people

mined TO raise the necessary funds

to be repaid pro rata out OF the re-
ceipts of the show. Last year, in

was able 10 repay nearly the entire
amount of the loan and this year
there is every probability OF the
board being able to return the loan

fords an opportunity for recreation

LETTER TO E " MILLS

Dear Sir: "Three-quarter paint" is a
good phrase for the best outside of DevOe
Devoe is the standard; mark it 100
The next-best-there are several not far
apart-are three-quarterpaints; you may
mark them 70 to Devoe's 100.
The bulk of the paints in market are 40
or 80 or 80; a few are better than go; a
few are worse than 40.
How do they act? They cover from
one to three-quarters as much as DevOe;
and they last from one to three-quarters
as long as Devoe.
What are they worth? The same rule
don't hold; it costs more to put-on some
paints than they are worth; they are not
worth anything; the "put-on" costs two
or three times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
