DEAR SIR: Here's something ev-
cry painter and builder ought to
know.
Mr.. J. J. Hall, Sheffield, Pa,
painted two houses, years ago,
lead-and-oil; took 40 gallons. Last
year, he painted Devoe; bought 40
gallons; had 10 left.
He is one of thousands. The
knowledge is getting about pretty
generally, that Devoe goes further
than anything else.
Have you found it out in your
own experience?
How much further?
Suppose job amounts to 10000
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-11-27

square feet; how much less Devoe
could you buy?
Is it as easy to paint? Does it cost
any more or less to put-on by the
gallon than anything else? How
much?
If it costs no more to put-on
Devoe by the gallon. it costs less by
the foot, you know; for the gallon
does more feet. How much less, do
you find it, for wages?
Lasts, say, twice as long; that is
the owners gain; but perhaps you
reckon it yours; some do. The time,
when that comes-in. is when he
gives out the next job.
Who gets it.

The Territories.

There will be a fight in the next
congress for the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona as separate
States and the corporate interests OF
the country will largely favor it. It
is not difficult for the railroads to
control the election of senators in
the Rocky mountain States. Dis
tances are great and railroad travel
high, so that favors are valuable,
and with the power that the roads
have in freight rate making on
mining products and materials they
are practically absolute in their
political power IN those States. Two
States will give the railroads four
corporation senators while one State
would give them only two. 1t is
but natural that the people of
Arizona should object to being at
tached to New Mexico as a State.
The distance from different parts
would be great and the population
sparse, so that the people would not
have much in common, as they do
in compact agricultural country.
The best plan is to leave both of
them territories until there is some
indication as to the ultimate popula-
ton of each. We don't want any
more Nevadas as States.

Bumper Sugar Beet Crop looked for.

If the present outlook is any cri-
terion the sugar beet crop of this
state will befa bumper one this sea-
son. Never have the beets fields
look better then they do this year,
and if the conditions remains favor
able this month and next the har-
vest will be a record breaker.
Considering the wet weather the
fields are generally clear of weeds,
and although because of the late
season they are not as far advanced
as they were last season at this
time it is expected that the, total
tonnage will equal if not surpass
That of last year.
For the past year one million dol
lars was received by the farmers
for their beet crop, and more white
graduated suger was manufactured
that one-ifth of the total amount
consumed in the state. Judging
from that, 1T is estimated that the
total values this year will place one
third more money into the hands OF
the farmers for the present crop.
Because of the success of the sta
tionis experiments, it is expected
that more farmers will plant sugar
beets next year, and that those who
planted small crop this season
will have more ground seeded for
next pear. Asssoon as the demand
increases, additional factories must
be built to manufacture the increas.
ing caops.
The growing of sugar beets is
bound to be the coming crop,
although farmers IN vicinity OF Ian.
caster were somewhat discouraged
from results obtained last gear in
an experimental way.

/ at Galena.
She lived on Boice Prairie for a
time and the following year OF
Mar. 25. 1847 was married to Jas.
N. Borah, brother of S. L. Borah
of Mt. ida. The ceremony was
performed at the home Of her broth
re VIM. who lived on the place now
owned by Isaac Lomas. just north
of the present Borah farm.
The young couple lived for over
a quarter of century in the old
house q. nong the pines just south
of the present home.
When they came here there wos
but one house between their home
and Fennimore. The family in
those early days did their market
ing IN Potosl, Boscobel, Galena,
Montfort and other points.
| Here in the old log house their
ten children were born, three of

ond frame house built in this v1cini-
ty and was considered a mansion in
those days. Since that time it has
been remodelled and is today one
of the most convenient and COM
Portable of homes.
Here was a home where the spirit
of true hospitality was shown only
as it can be the noble woman of

This hospitality is expressed in
the words of Longfellow.

Among the floral offerings was a

by her only great grand child

Mrs. Borah was very remarkable
woman for one of her years. OF a
bright and CHEEKY disposition she
was ever ready to welcome the old
and young alike and was never
more happy than when giving a
welcoming hand to the host OF
friends and even strangers who so
often assembled around her board;
or when ministering to the needs
of some sick neighbor and especial

blessed with worldly goods as she.
''She was a truly wonderful
woman
Among those who will feel her
loss most keenly is her son Cutler
who has made the declining years
of her life happy by his constant
care and devotion to her, and she
in turn regardless OF her advanced
years sought to make life pleasant
for him and for his many friends.
Besides the immediate family she
leaves to mourn her loss a host of
friends and one especially (Wm.

NO FUN FOR BOYS.

In some of the cantons of Switzer
land they have special laws made for
boys. Here is a sample of them
'If boy throw stone and hit "a
man he may be fined three francs.
III boy throw SNOWFALL end hit
woman he may be fined two francs.
IF boy call girl 'red-head' he
may be find from two TO four francs
If boy throw at frogs In a pont
without being ordered to by his father
pr teacher, he shall be fined one
franc.
IF boy throw a stone and break
a window belonging TO someone else,
his father may whip him or he may
be fined two francs.
III a boy make up a face at his
teacher, or draw pictures OF him OH
his slate, or speak III OF him he may
be fined five francs and have 10 beg
his pardon.
If boy stone dog or chase
cat 1t is fine OF one franc
III two boys fight without the con-
sent OF their teacher, 1t is a fine OF
three francs.
IF boy steals apples or other
fruit, 1t is a fine OF two francs and he
should be beaten by his father"
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss
boy has TO live for. About all he can
do and not be fined is to have the
measles and whooping cough.
