LETTER TO ]. h. EMERSON
Middletown, Del.

Dear Sir: Here's honesty for you
North Dakota has pure paint law. Prof
Ladd, the state chemist analyses certain
paint labeled Contains only lead aud is
strictly pure. and finds it no lead at all,
a resinous oil and benzine. 1t is, how.
ever, full-measure and contains no water.
That's like the man on trial for killing
his grandmother; proved that he didn't
set fire to the house.
No lead, but zinc and barytes, resinous
oil, and strictly pure lead and
zinc paint r.
Pure paint is lead-zinc. and-oil; ;but that
isn't all; there it such thing as proper
tion and make. The strongest paint is
Devoe.
North Dakota is doing a handsome
thing in holding these confidence-people
up to scorn. She gives up to scorn. She
gives their names as well as their works.
Yours truly
F w. DEvoE & Co
.Ps. ]. F. McWhorter & Son sell our

nIlR WATER SUPPLY

The condition of affairs that
prevailed in this town on last
Saturday and Sunday were ser
ious. For many hours the town
was absolutely without water
supply. Both pumps were
broken down, and had fire oc-
Cured during these hours, there
would have been no effective
means of fighting it. That itdid
not is lucky. Such condition is
possible at any time; in fact, it
has happened before. We are
not advised as to whether under
the present system, it would be
possible to guard against its re-
currence. If so, every means
should be used to do so. II not,
some other or additional system
should be adopted that the town
shall not be subject to this dan
ger, and the users of the water
who pay for its continual use
shall not be subject to the annoy
ance and expense of procuring
water for use from other sources.
Just what the new additional
system should be, is question
to be given the most serious at
tention by our Light and Water
Commission. Two plans have
been suggested, neither of which
would cost a great amount of
money. The first is to run a
pipe line down to Silver Lake,
and attach, through the large
pump now installed, into the
mains to be used only in emer-
gency and at fires. This would
give an ample supply of water at
all times, but would be subject
to the objection that the water is
not as good for drinking pur-
poses as our present supply.
But it would put out fire just as
effectively as does the deep well
water, and in an emergency could
be used for many of the house
hold purposes. thus requiring
the users of water to carry only
their drinking water. The in
stallation of a small filter plant
in connection with this system
would obviate all trouble. The
second plan suggests the build
ing of a small reservoir with a
capacity of 100, 900 or $50, ,000gal-
Ions on the present lot, to be
filed from the deep wells, and
then in an emergency to be
pumped with direct pressure
into the mains. The objection to
this plan is the constant expense
of pumping the water from such
a depth, and the occasional ex-
pense of cleaning and the main
tenance of the plant. Either or
both plans are feasible and
neither should be very expen-
sive. At all events something is
needed to guard against possible
serious disaster.

Some think they will have a good
meeting.
This neighborhood had nice little
rain last Saturday night which was
badly needed. The dust was just
simply awful.
Well boys, we have got some bob

Tell them to do like Old Hrghey did,
take their medicine. and say nothing
about it. 1t won't do any good to
howl.
Well boys, Old Hughey went to the
big barbecue out on East End In
Memphis last Saturday. He met
some of the old boys, and had a good
time eating and drinking and seeing
sights. He only wishes you all could
have been there.
! heard man say a few days ago
that it was hard for a clean man to
be elected to any Office. / am in

Look at Noel, the cleanest man in the

that such is the case. We can only
hope for better day.
