Letter to Mr.. John C0tter, Austin,
& r1inn.

Letter to Mr.. John Cotter, Austin,
rlinn.
Dear Sir: The way to reckon the
cost OF paint is to put both costs to-
gether. the cost of the paint and the
cost of putting it on.
It would save this country hundreds
of millions of dollars a year; it would
save you alone (if you happen to be a
victim) several dollars a year.
See how it works. 1t costs as much
! to put on one paint as another don't it?
Yes, if you use the same number of
gallons.
Well, don't I? 2
No, you'll use twice as many gallons
Of adulterated paint as of Devoe; and
you've got to pay twice as much for
putting it on.
Mr. N Avery, Delhi, N Y, has two
houses alike and in same condition.
Painted one house with Devoe:6 6 gal.
Ions. Painted the other house with a
paint that was half adulteration: IL
gallons, Same painter, Geo. Gilbert,
did both jobs. One cost 1927; the other
$54. ....-. .. ~g

Defect Of Our Primary Law.

D. Washburn, Jr. in q paper re-
Gently delivered before q Minneapolis
Organization reviewed at length some
Of the gross defects Of our present pri-
mary law.
These obvious defects in the primary
laW'became the more apparent during
the last campaign, They are mainly,
the multiplicity Of candidates permit
ted under the primary system for all
offcles. the heavy expenses which candi-
dates are under in practically having
70 go thru an election campaign, with
advertising, hall rents, and other cam.
paign expenses; the fact that, a small
minority of the voters may nominate q
candidate where there is large field
for one position; and finally, the fact
that g the primaries voters disregard
party lines thru the fact that the right
Of challenge has fallen into sdisuse and
thus there is q tendency toward party
generalization. Substantial increase
OF the filing fee might help to reduce
the number Of candidates who simply
file for advertising purposes, such .
thing would probably be unpopular
among the people,
The enmitY and bitterness following
primary campaigns is to be regretted.
Members Of the same party battle
against each other with the same vigor
as candidates Of opposite do at the reg.
ulAr election. These abuses one and
oil have grown to such an extent that
they practically nullify all the advan-
tages of the primary law unless they
are speedily terminated. 49,

The New Pension Law.

Inc new pension act recently passed
by Congress, is one Of Importance to
many of the veteran soldiers and their
relatives in this city and Mower county
and the following important extracts
should be of interest to all:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress
assembled, That any person who served
ninety days or more in the military or
naval service Of the United States dur
ing the late civil war or sixty days in
the war with Mexico and who has been
honorably discharged therefrom and
who has reached the age Of sixty.two
years or over shall upon making proof
of such facts according to such rules
and regulations as the Secretary Of the
Interior may provide be placed upon
the pension roll and be entitled to re-
ceive a pension as follows: In case
such person has reached the age of
sixty-two years $l2 per month; seventy
years SIS per month; seventy five years
or over 800 per month and such pen
sion shall commence from the date of
the application in the Bureau of Pen
sions after the passage and approval of
this act. i*@. .<rfa -
Provided That pensioners who are
sixty-two years of age or over and who
are receiving pensions under existing
laws or whose claims are pending in
the. Bureau of Pensions may by appli.
cation to the commissioner Of pensions
in such form as he may prescribe re.
ceive the benefits Of this act and moth
ing herein contained shall prevent any
pensioner or person entitled to pen.
sion from prosecuting his claim and
receiving a pension under any other
general or special act.
Provided That no person shall re-
ceive a pension under any other law at
the same time for the same period that
he is receiving under provisions of this
act.

The New Immigration Law.

The new immigration measure will
provide fOr very exhaustive investiga
tion of many points. Meanwhile, great
efforts are going to be made to dis
tribute the newcomers more thoroughly
throughout the country, and to test
their fitness for success, particularly
in southern agriculture and industry.
At present we are receiving immigrants
at the rate of considerably more than a
million a year, one quarter Of them
coming from Italy, another quarter
from the races of Austria. H Hungary,
another quarter from Russia, and the
remaining quarter from Germany.
Scandinavia, the British Islands, and
scattered sources. The situation re-
quires the most exhaustive study and
analysis. If these new factors that
make up the bulk of our immigration
should be sifted or restricted in some
radical fashion, public opinion will sup
port Congress in legislation after the
argument has been sustained by q show
ing of undeniable facts. At present
the country is in great need Of labor,
and good kind of immigration is wei
come. But in the long run our indus
trial life itself, as well as our social and
political institutions, must depend up.
on the character Of American citizen
ship, and it would be fearful mistake
to bring here classes Of people perman-
emily undesirable in vast numbers
merely to meet . temporary demand in
the labor market. From The Pro.

The Sinner is a Fool.

Chicago Journal -A.g%.-
The man who calmly chooses sin is
more than rascal; he is a fool. There
lis no happiness in sin, near or remote,
but only misery. The law is inexor-
able and exacts the penalty to the last
jot.
It is as true now as when it was first
said that the wages of sin is death, not
always physical death, but death al
ways, death in the heart, death in the
soul The man who ruined q little
girl seemed alive, but in reality all that
had actually lived in him was dead
killed by the sin in which he wallowed
Later physical death came to him, and
with it death to his reputation, death
to his fame, shame and grief worse
than death to. his wife and son.
Despite all the sayings Of the cynics,
this is 9 world Of law. Whenever that
law is violated the criminal is pun
Eished, IN one way Or another. There
is 40 escape, for within every man is q
tribunal whose udgments are unayoid-
able. n he escape the worlds justice
he vet must suffer.

A SlLO SHOWING.
For Consideration of the Man Who
Doesn't Believe in Siios.

Here is nut for you to crack. G.
P. Goodrich took close, accurate
census of 48 patrons of creameries
around the city of Fond du Lac, Wis.
He figured up all the items of their
expense in keeping their cows, whas;
they fed, etc. Then he went to the
creamery and got just what each herd
earned and compared them. This is
what he found: H.. > H.. s.ls>
There are five creamery patrons
who fed ensilage. No. 4, who made on
butter $29.1S profit per COW; No. Z,
who made on butter $14.05 per COW;
No. II, who made on butter $3.50
profit per COW; No. 21, with $20.17
profit per COW, and No. rs with $27.79
profit per COW.
One cheese factory patron fed en-
silage. No. 4, whose profit on milk
delivered was s2223 These six silo
men averaged s2102 profit per cow,
while the average profit of creamery
patrons was only $5.94 per COW. The
gross returns for the silo men aver
aged $52.52 per COW, while those who
did not feed ensilage, received on an
average of but $34OO per COW, diff
ference of 1882 in favor of the en-
silage men. Sr- q
Can anyone doubt, in the face of
these facts, asks Hoard's Dairyman,
that it will pay to build a silo? Is
it possible that all this gain in gross
receipts and profits is because these
men feed ensilage? Or, is it in part,
because these men are more progress
sive, up-to-date farmers, have better
dairy cows, study to feed a balanced
ration, and, in short, have less of old
fogyism than many of those who do
not have silos? These are questions
for you to ponder on and answer. My
own opinion is that, although think
any man is making great mistake
who keeps herd of dairy cows with
out having silo, the feeding of en-
sNage did not, and could not, of itself,
make this astonishing difference Of
over 81 per cent. in gross receipts and
more than 500 per cent. in net profit. 4.

+ Perhaps the most remarkable, how.
ever, of the seedlings Of our part Of the
state is one known as Decker's Seeding,
which has been growing between
thirty and forty years on the farm Of
Mr.. j. S. Decker, just east Of the
city of Austin. This is !. large apple,
somewhat between the shape and color
Of the Malinda and N. w. Greening,
and was shown at the late meeting of
the Southern Minnesota horticultural
Society in j January in first class condi-
tion, after being kept in common
house cellar. That the tree is hardy
enough to stand our climate seems al.
most assured from the fact that it has
stood SO many years through all the
low temperature and winter killing per-
iods that have intervened between the
time since it was first planted, about
the year 1870.
While attending the Austin meeting
the writer had the pleasure Of going
out with Mr.. Decker to his old 1arm,
and taking view Of the original seed
ling, and we were very much surprised
to find tree that had had SO small q
show making so good an account Of
itself. 1t seems that the original tree
was q Duchess root graft. The Duchess
growing upright as the main. tree and
this Seeding springing up as q spront
below the graft on either side, making
two low trees spreading out under
meath the Duchess, one at the north
and the other at the south, being
thus 80 overshadoWed by the
Duchess, it seems exceedingly strange
that it should ever have held on SO

that in seasons Of plenty the markets
are almost entirely glutled, and unless
carefully picked, handled and barreled
in q commercial way, they are hardly
profitable to plant in large quantities
Having accomplished SO much in the
way Of hardy summer and fall varie-
ties, it has seemed strange that.we have

this want, that there is little doubt that
within the next decade, we shall have
at least half dozen of standard
kinds that will be not only reliable for
