Dear Sir: When you see, a we'll
dressed man, you like to say:
"There's sample Of my clothes.
That man is worth two Of himself
as he was when he came to me. "
We have the same feeling. Our
paint on house is worth twice as
much as old-lashion painters
paint, lead-and-oil. 1t looks the
same wnen first put on In three
months it don't. In three years it
decidedly don't.
Lead-and-oil chalks off in three
years: it is considered frst-rate
Job that lasts three years.
Devoe lead-apd zinc is about as
good in three yeara as it was the
day the painter left it..
Zinc is the secret of it:no secret
at all. A good many painters know
zinc; some mix it in with their
lead. We grind it in: not little:
good deal.
e the zinc and the grinding
that dloessiitt .ons can't mix zinc
by e.Sgtind it in by ma
chineTy.
Painters are finding us out,
though some painters are slow.
You know it pays a good man
to wear good clothes. How many
customers have you that know it?
Yours truly,

places would be largely filled by
sundry twentieth century inysn-

traction engines, horseless carrla-

for horses was mover greater nor
the price higher. The faithful

"There has been great improve

of a drunk man. Remarkable
increase in cash trade of town.
People thoroughly satisfied with
prohibition"
Sheriff John Z. Hunter says
"There is much less drinking
and drunkenness than when the
dispensary was here. Believe 8
majority Of the people here

roads, this increase is equival
ent in many cases 10 more than
100 per cent in the past five
years. Notwithstanding this,
during such time the railroads
have done practically nothing to
increase facilities of travel, but
on the contrary have in many
instances allowed their rolling
stock and road bed to deteriorate
and in some instances TO become
positively dangerous to travel
they have been apparently in
different about compliance with
the laws of this State and to the
rules of the railroad commission,
relating to the length of time to
be consumed in the transporta-
ton of freight they have been
equally as Indifferent TO the COM
pliance with their own schedules,
and have within recent years
done little TO increase the facili-
ties for travel which are now
justified by the increased travel
Apparently no interest is felt
in and no attention given to To-
cal travel and traffic, which is to
a great degree the remuneratiVe
part OF the traffic Of the railroads.
and in which the increase during
the past few years has been pro-
badly greatest.
Much of the foregoing is true,
but we doubt if the railroad com.
panies are guilty Of all the indif-
ference charged against them
The News has at various times
taken the railroads to task for
apparent dereliction of duty to
the public, but, at the same time,
we believe in giving corporations
as we'll az individuals credit
where credit is due them. Now,
in the case of railroads, it doesn't t
appear reasonable that their own
ers, with millions and millions
invested in the transportation
business, would be as Indifferent
as alleged to the maintenance
and improvement of their valua.
BILE properties and to the accom-.
modation and convenience of the
public. While in many instances
the railroad companies have not
done everything in their power
to better their service, it is scarce
ly doing them justice to charge
!hem with wholesale Indifference
in the matter.
Railroads have many Difficult
ties to contend with about which
the general public knows moth
ing. One great trouble with the
railroad companies is that thy
failed to foresee and prepare for
a few years ago the unprecedent-
ed era Of prosperity the whole
country is now enjoying. In
consequence Of such failure 10
anticipate what was coming, the
railroads to day have far more
business than they can possibly
handle with anything like expe
dition. Passenger trains are over
crowded and freight congested at
almost every point. The COM
panies are finding it impossible
20 obtain the additional rolling
stock needed, for the reason that
plants manufacturing cars and
engines already have more orders
than they can fill. Some manu-.
