Why should / use Hughes Crescent
Cottage paint? Because it is pure paint,
contains no water or Barytes. Do
some manufacturers put water in
paint? Yes; some paints on the mar
ket contain 25 per cent of water. Why
is water put in paint? Answer. To
cheaper it. Is that the only reason?
Answer. No What else does water
do in paint? Answer. 1t makes
paint look thick. What is the object
of that? Answer. To cause the
people to believe they are getting more
for their money. In what way? An
swer. Paint makers furnish the
water which costs nothing and then
you furnish the oil. You are the
cats paw" Now you may ask and
say this is broad statement, but don't
take our word for it, come and see US
and we will prove it to you.

Feeding and breeding are closely re-
lated. Some experimenters have
found that when sows are fed very
sparingly or on improper kinds of food
for some time before the breeding sea-
son, it is often difficult to get them to
breed and the individuals in the filters
are generally pretty irregular both
as to size and vigor- On the other
hand, sows that are fed beautifully
before narrowing usually breed with
out dihiculty, producing large and uni
form filters. OF course during these
experiments the sows were fed suit
able balanced ration and were given
plenty of exercise

1T is a most important question, there

you desire to go ahead and have the legal
questions decided now in the courts we
see no reason why the city should not
now make a contract with the companies
for the purchase of their properties, pro-
yided the property purchased is that
which is described In the proposition al
ready submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie: and provided the proceeds of the
bonds already voted for the properties are
sufficient to make such purchase; and
If there is no variation between the prop
erty purchased and the property de-
scribed in the proposition already sub
mitted to the vote of the people; and pro-
vided the proceeds of the bonds already
voted for the properties are sufficient to
make such purchase; and If there is any
variation between the property purchased
and the property described in the PROPOSE
tion already submitted to the vote of the
people, or If the proceeds OF the bonds
will not be sufficient to make payment
for the property purchased, then the fact
of such variation between the property
purchased and the property voted to be
purchased, and the fact of such proceeds
not being enough to pay for the property
could be set out as part OF the case to
be decided by the court, among other
questions presented"
Goes to New York
From this reply it will be seen that 1t
was the opinion of Dillon & Hubbard
that the matter would have to be passed
on by the court. After this correspond
ence Mayor Waterhouse went to New
York and had a personal conference
with Judge Dillon that lasted for an hour
or more 1t developed that the firm of
attorneys has been allowed to infer by
Attorney c. ]. Willett that there was a
legal contract of sale as they, had adj
vised Judge Dillon's opinion, as ex-
pressed to Mr. Waterhouse, was presented
to the council and the resembling reso-
luton resulted.
Part of the opinion was as follows
''Therefore, 1t results necessarily thai
the proposed purchase is at an end un-
less YOU make a new contract with the
companies and submit the contract tc
a vote of the people. or unless you pro-
ceed to condemn the property and sub
NIT to the vote of the people the ques-
tion whether the properties shall be
acquired by condemnation proceedings.
When Dillon & Hubbard were placed
in possession of all the facts they gave
it as their opinion that the council could
not acquire the plants under the former
proceedings, and that If they were So
acquired they could not pass favorablS
on the validity of the bonds. Unless a
favorable opinion is obtained from then
there is no probability of the city being
able to dispose of the bonds, and another
dead wall will be encountered.

Trusts Usurp Power


I'VE all know how much feeling, and

ditions that are new and with economic
abuses that. though manifold, have
grown up slowly and In the dark. There
is ample power in our institutions, in
our constitution and our laws to check
and to remedy them ell.
There is now reason to believe that
the Sherman anti-trust law commits the
nation TO a policy which is too extreme,

at 300, 900 bales.
The opening was barely steady at an
advance of 2 points to a decliue Gf 4
points, the losses being due to rather
disappointing cables. After the open
ing the market quickly filmed up son
renewal Of bull support and coVerang

territories to be 60 per cent. against IS

in that sense, narrow and professional

Of buying of stocks by large investors

makes the tone of markets. Never

strong evidence of betterment IN

materially increased by the belief IN

current today as to the scope and the
immediate ittentions with regard tG
the deposit of government funds with
the banks and as to the amounts to be
placed in the New York banks at first
