In the course OF many years OF In

cid ones, adapting others to new con
litions and blending still others,
have constantly been impressed, writes
Luther Burbank, in The Training OF

similarity between the organization
and development OF plant and human
life. While | have never lost sight
Of the principle of the survival of the

explanation of the development and
progress of plant life. I have come to
find in the crossing Of species and In

ward. The crossing Of species is to
me one paramount. Upon it, wisely di.
rected and accompanied by as rigid
an exclusion of the poorest, rests the
hope Of all progress. The mere cross
ing of species, unaccompanied by Sc
lection, wise supervision. intelligent
care, and the utmost patience, Is not
likely to result in marked good and
may result in vast harm. morgan
ized effort is often most vicious in its
tendencies.

Rumared Race War.

Hstliesburg, Miss, Sept. 26--A sher-
ifs posse has been hurried from here to
McLaurin, Perry county, to suppress a
race outbreak 10 which it was reported
las. night that six negroes had already
been killed. TIE town being without
telephone or telegraph communication
and the members of the posse presumably
too much occupied to send a messenger
to Hattiesburg, definite news is lacking
concerning the present status of the
situation. The posse was dispatched
just before reports of the killing were
received in response to an appeal for aid
from Deputy Sheriff John Davis, Of Nc
Lqurin. The latter sent copies OF a
poster warning negroes to leave town
before September % under penalty OF
death. It is believed the race war ia
the result of jealousy between white
and negro employees of the McGinnis
Lumber Company which has q large
plant near McLaurin.

LETTER TO CHAs w HOWELL
Alexandria. Virginia.

Dear Sir. The wear Of paint goes by gal
Ions; the l,ss-gsllons pant wears longest.
The reason, of course, is its strength. 1t takes
less gallons, because il is strong; IT wears 0
long time, because it is strong. II is all-paint
and the strongest paint.
There is best paint among all-paint paints.
No two are alike, Of course; no two cover alike
or wear alike. One is thin, another is thick;
one has too much lead, another too much
zinc, another is right. The right is Devoe,
so far as is yet known. Perhaps somebody
else will fnd.out better paint than Devoe;
then Devoe will become more-gsIlons paint,
a costlier paint. weaker paint, le's-dura,
bic paint, less-eoonomical paint, timld
paint.
Bigger changes than that hive come over
the world. Devcl has the lead; why shouldn't
we lose il TO somebody-else?
Yours truly,
