Dear Sir: Some people get etdisappoint-
ed in painting; it doesn't come-out as
they thought it would.
g. B. Edwards, of Edwards &
Broughton, printers, Raleigh, N. c.,
painted his house Devoe three years
ago; he had used 80 gallons paste paint
before and bought 80 gallons Devoe.
Had 16 left.
Paste paint is extra-thick- with
white-wash.
Mayor w. W. Carroll, Monticello,
Florida, says: My painter said it
would take 35 gallons to paint my
house; it took 20 gallons Devoe. His
house is the best paint job in town;
and he says Devoe is the whitest white
of all white paints.
Jones q Rodgers bought 5 gallons
Devoe to prime Mr.. Pratt's house at
Merkel, Texas. 1t painted two coats.
The reason for nobody guessing
little-enough Devoe is: they learned
in bad school, other paints.
Yours truly,

* JOURNAL TALKS
"A TO ADVERTISERS
Mr.. Advertiser, Change
Your Copy!

While perhaps not to the same ex-
tent necessary, new text serves the
same purpose for the advertiser that
new copy does for the newspaper.
Both are important to the full measure
of success. AS news matter must be
fresh and attractive to please, SO, to
carry out the fullest possible degree of
usefulness and benefit to the advertiser,
he, too, should clothe his statements
in new language. The importance of
this may not appear to the inexperi-
enced or indifferent one.
Why SO many should look lightly
on this all-important phase of up-to-
date business practice, does notappear.
1t is allowed to go by default, like the
question of advertising itself, until the
last moment and then disposed of in
the most hit-or-miss fashion without
any regard to its importance. Next to
advertising itself, it deserves and
should have first consideration. 1t is
not uncommon for an advertiser to tell
his newspaper man he has not had
time to prepare new copy and directs
him to use the old for the current issue.
Lack of time, though seemingly to
outward appearances valid, is one of
the weakest of excuses.
Leaving to the last moment and
then emitting altogether that depart
ment in ones business which makes
all others possible is nothing if not an
egregious blunder. 1t retards, if ii
does not effectually check, the wheels
of progress down the entire length of
the line. AS we'll might general
order his men into battle without any
ammunition, or, at best, to serve
them with poor quantity and expect
victory as for business house to go to
the expense of fitting up an elaborate
establishment for energetic business
and then not to advertise at all or with
secondhand material.

RAILROAD COMPANY DOING MUCH TO
IMPROVE SERVICE
Double Track Being Laid. Two
More Philadelphia Trains to
be Added this Summer

The West Jersey and Seashore rail-
road is doing much this winter to i'm
prove their service and interests on
Five Mile Beach. The inability to
cope with the sudden jump in freight
age to the island with its complica-
tions and blockades last spring awoke
the railroad company to the fact that
the beach was growing more rapidly
than they had realized and they i'm
mediately began to redeem themselves
by placing special agent and yard
master on the island, erecting a large
freight depot, centrally located, and
with great enough capacity to take
care of the tremendous amount of
freight which comes to the island. The
work is still going on. Holly Beach ave-
nue. is being graveled by the railroad
company and handsome $4,000 de-
pot is being erected at Taylor avenue
A second track from Holly Beach to
the Crest is now being rapidly laid.
A portion of This second track from
Anglesea to Holly Beach was laid last
year. From Wildwood Junction to
the island may also be double tracked
later in the spring. This will COM
plete the double track service from the
Junction to Wildwood Crest and is
much needed.
The report published in one of the
Philadelphia papers last week TO the
effect that second track from Wood
bine to the island will be laid this
spring is declared untrue by the Off
cials here. They say the project has
been talked of and will come about
eventually but no action will be taken
at the present time.
Better service is being arranged for
the opening of the season. Two more
through Philadelphia trains will be
added to the schedule used last sum-
mer, making six Philadelphia trains a
day during the season. The passenger
service will be greatly improved and
trains will run ON schedule time, for
the conditions that handicapped the
company last season have been over
come.
1t is said that the freightage to the
island is as great, if not greater, at
present than it was last spring when
the railroad was unable to cope with
it, but conditions have SO improved
that it is handled with ease and no
such blockade as was experienced at
that time will ever be seen again.

MAYORS LEAGUE IN SESSION
Meets at Ocean City, and dis
cusses the Tax Question

From the Ocean City Sentinel.
Real equalization of taxes, in which
the seashore resorts shall not be assess
ed out of all proportion to the rural
districts of the counties, was the key
note of the speeches made at the
meeting of the Mayors League of
Seashore Resorts, held at the Biscayne,
yesterday afternoon, Feb. g, 1907.
The speakers included Mayor JOS. G.
Champion, of Ocean City, who pre-
sided in the absence of Mayor Stoy, of
Atlantic City; Mayor Sherry, of Sea
Isle City; Mayor Hilton, of Anglesea;
Mayor Smith, of Avalon; City Treas
urer Ira S. Champion and Postmaster
Sutton of Ocean City.
The meeting was to have been the
annual gathering of the league, but
owing to the absence of President Stoy,
who was compelled to attend funeral,
and the small attendance of the men,
bers, it was decided not to hold the
election of officers.
Mayor Champion, vice president,
presided over the meeting, and Mayor
Gilbert Smith was chosen temporary
secretary.
An invitation to hold the next meet
ing in Atlantic City was read from
Mayor Stoy, and it was agreed TO meet
again at the call of the president.
1t was moved and carried that the
president be requested to instruct the
secretary to give the members ten days
notice of the meeting.
Mayor Sherry, Hilton and Smith
spoke strongly against the manner in
which taxes were increased in theil
bailiwicks, saying that it would keep
prospective properly owners away
from the shore resorts.
City Treasurer Champion said that
doubtless the law is good one fjustly
executed, but it is unfair to tax the
resorts for the county's benefit.
1t was the general opinion that the
present Legislature should be appealed
to to remedy the tax troubles, as well
as to give the people relief from the
menhaden pirates. An orchestra, in
charge of Prof. III. III. Lake, furnished
music.
