Letter To John W. Vincent. Snow Hill,
MARYLAND

Dear Sir: You know, diamonds
don l go by size. SO with paint
We make paint. one gallon Of which
goes as far as two of another and lasts
twice as long. that S four to one.
You know it's true in diamonds, they
don I go by the gallon. do they?
II you are gong to paint your house.
you go first to your painter and say
Il m going to paint: do you want the
job? and what'll it cost"
If he happens to know, he'll say:
Depends on the paint. can do it
for somewhere about 500 or $500
whichever you like; 5000 will make Il
good job; 500 poor one.
And you. If you happen to have your
wits. II say: 'I'll take the good one
when II you do it,
Painters ought, all, to know about
paint; and jewelers. ought to be able to
to get good job We do what we
can to help both.
One gallon Devoe is better than two
of average paint, goes as far that is.
your house will take about 20 gallons
Devoe and 80 gallons of average paint
and Devoe will wear long time; the
life of the average paint is very uncer-
tain. il may be year. it may be five
Why is il that painters don't know
about paint? DO jewellers know about
diamonds? They know more than they
will tell sometimes. There are painters
and painters: SO there are jewellers. so
there is paint. and the least gallons
paint is DevOe.
Yours truly
: +. w. DEVOE 4 CO.

The efforts of the packers to secure
the passage of an amendment to the
Beverage meat inspection bill that
practically does away with all the
valuable features of that bill is a Writ
ual confession that they wish to con-
|tinue to carry on their business with
out supervision and to be free to use
such methods as they please, and in
jures their own cause even more than
tho agitation of the subject about
which they are complaining so loud
Iy. They are. either guilty of the I'M
sanitary practices, the use of dyes,
representatives. and deceiving labels, or
they are not. If the first is true, then
they should be compelled to adopt
La better system and the public should
have the means of knowing that this
lis done. If they are not guilty they
have nothing to lose by rigid Govern
ment inspection, and have much to
gain. They complain that much has
been charged against them that is
not true, which is perhaps fact; but
Lit is noticeable that they have not
denied the more serious charges, and
the public will not be satisfied il
Congress does not provide for the
prevention of their Objectionable
practices in the handling of food
stuffs.-Indianapolis Star.

Ais Well that Ends Well.

Arthur Castleman has had pc
culiar experience in his efforts to get
well. His first attempt was made
on the north side of his lot. AT the
depth of as feet he struck water that
was of deep reddish color and this
continued to depth of 90 feet when
the flow ceased and when he reached
los feet he gave up the job. He then
started another well on the south
'ide of his lot and at about 30 feet
secured fine flow OF clear water
from gravel bed Now will some
scientist or other person of expert
ence tell what gave the water ito
red color? Was it bed of mineral
paint?-Culver Citizen.

A special from Rensselaer, says:
Notwithstanding the fact that
Thomas J. Mccoy has ben found
guilty and in few days probably will
be confined in the walls of the Mich
igan City Penitentiary, the feeling
her is even more bitter against him
than it has been at any time There
are one or two families which have
remained friendly to him throughout,
hit they dare not openly express
their sympathy for the convicted man.
The feeling against Alfred Mccoy
has been intensified by his acquittal
Nearly every one would have been
satisfied had he been found guilty and
merely fined The best friends of the
Mccoys do not want Alfred Mccoy
otreturn to Rensselaer, to live. He
has always been an aggressive man
and has never failed bitterly to ar
raign those who have been active in
the prosecution. They fear that he
will saw something concerning the
verdict or the conduct of the trial that
will cause him serious trorble.
A peculiar condition of affairs ex-
| lists here. The very people who
fawned upon Tom and Alfred Mccoy
and who were ever ready to do their
bidding, are the ones who are now
loudest in their condemnation of
Them.
| One hears many stories of Tom
McCoy's extravagances, and if all OF
them are true it would have required
three or four banks TO keep him go
ing. At home Tom Mccoy was not
particularly lavish in lis expendit-
ures. There is, and has been for
years, "fast" crowd of younger bust
ness men in Rensselaer, and Tom
Mccoy for ten years previous TO the
failure was their acknowledged lead
er. His trips to Chicago and Indian
lapolis were generally made in com
pany with two or three good fell
lows
So completely did the people trust
the Mccoys that many OF the bust
ness men of the town had carried
their accounts for years without a
settlement Nearly every firm in town
was caught for personal debt OF
either one of the other Harry who
had been janitor of the bank for
fourteen years, had not drawn his last
two months wages because he didn't
need the money and thought it safer
with Uncle Mac" than in his pocket
He went down to the bank to open
up as usual the day of the failure
and when he saw the notice of as
signment he says he laughed, but
went in and did his work as usual

Big Wheat Yield.

Judging from present indications
and basing the estimate on this years
acreage, the wheat yield for Indiana
for 1906 will be more than 100000
bushels, according to the figures OF
Joseph H. Stubs, state statistician
The acreage this year is larger than
that OF last year, but the prospects
for the yield are not as good. Last
year Indiana raised 29,s09, 52l bushels
Indiana had the lowest acreage al
wheat in 1905 that it has had in
many years, but the yield was the
most bountiful in ten years, being
1913 bushels an acre.

AGREE ON MEAT BILL.
Both Sides Make Concessions and
Measure Is Ready for House.

A; a conference between Preside 1t
Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon the
basis of a complete agreement on the
meat inspection legislation was ar
rived at.
Both the President and the Speak
er, who represented the house COM
mittee on agriculture, made conces-
sions which helped to bring an agree
ment and subsequently Mr.. Cannon
spent some time explaining the situa-
ton to the committee in its rooms at
the capitol, with the result that when
the committee adjourned the bill was
practically completed
AS it now stands the bill authorizes
an annual Appropriation of S3,OO0,O0O
to pay the cost of inspection and will
contain no provision for the levy of
an assessment to make up any defic-
iency in the amount available for this
work, as suggested by DIR. Cowan,
representing the Texas cattle grow
ers, and later urged by the president.
The court review provision will
not be contained in the measure. This
action meets the suggestion of the
president The words "in the judg-
ment of the secretary of agriculture"
will not be contained in the measure.
This action meets the suggestion of
the president.
The section waving the civil SER
vice law for one year in the selection
of inspectors will go out of the pro-
vision, also one of the presidents
recommendations
| There is to be no date on the label
of the packing of meat food product
In this the president yields to the
committee The language which gives
inspectors the right to the packing
plants at all times is ampli6ed by
tie words whether the same be in
operation or not"
With these changes made the presi-
dent has indicated his entire satisfac-
ton with the measure which was re-
ported from the committee as sub
stitute for the Beveridge amendment
and was recommitted to the CONF
mittee> that the changes might be
made
Ordinarily Speaker Cannon does
not take such active part in legisla-
ton as he has in the present in
stance 1t has been explained, how
ever, that he regards the passage of
an adequate meat inspection bill with
all possible speed as vitality essential
TO the welfare of many important. in
dustries throughout the country.

A RECEIVER NAMED.
Life Insurance Company of EIkhart.
/, Charged With Juggling Funds.

Attorney General Miller charges
the American Mutual Life Insurance
Company with startling dealings in
high finance and Judge Dodge has
placed the affairs of the company in
the hands of receiver The Elkhart
Loan and Trust Company being
named to act.
Chief among Mr.. MiIler's charges
was that the officers of the company,
not content with loaning money to
themselves, entered into a conspiracy

COO taking for security $4,000 chat
tel mortgage which is unrecorded
and does not provide for the insur-
ance of the property mortgaged
The Barney family, it is said, has
controlled the American Mutual Life
Company since its founding and
grown rich from the proceeds. The
Indiana law provides that no insur-
ance can be written for persons over

policies up to a.
Attorney General Miller's COM
plant for receivership declared that
assessments did not state the object
for which collection was made, that
it issued policies without the consent
of the assured and that it required no
bond of the treasurer of the company.
One of the sensational paragraphs
was that which stated that William
M. Barney. president, and Samuel
Stewart secretary. stated under oath
last year in making report to the
state auditor that the company own
ed real estate mortgage in New
York state for $50,22s.s2 and same
was on lands valued at $4,000. The

Burglars are Active.

Elkhart and many neighboring
towns in Indiana and slichiean are
experiencing great deal of annoy
ance as the result of the numerous

unable to apprchend the thieves.
1t is not known whether the burg
Iarics are the work of an organized
gang or due to a migration of tramps.

reports of homes being robbed and

work in broad daylight, so bold have
