you may publish same if you
wish. [ did not have much time
to spare, and did not get to
stop as long as 1 would have
liked in some of the cities l
passed, and am sure 1 could
have spent days sightseeing
either in st. Louis, Kansas City,
Denver and Salt Lake City.
~ Tennessee was the first state 1
Travelled through. and / was
struck with the beautiful farm
ing and grazing land through
the central part of the state.
The fine farms and herds of
fine cattle at once reminded me
of Tazewell county, Va. How
ever, in my jud gment, Tennessee
cannot compare with Ken tcly
in fine farms and stock. All my
life l had heard of the Blue
Grass section OF Kentucky and
so. had nv eyes wide open when
was told our train was run
ming through the midst of it.
Miles aud miles in all directions
spread the level country cover
ed with herds OF thoroughbred
horses aud cattle. Fences and
buildings were all in good
shape and altogether, 1 think
Kentucky had the finest land
of any state [ travelled through.

city passed but 1 did not get 10

st. Louis was my next stop,
and l was at once impressed
with the hum of bsiness. Every
body seemed to be in a hurry, and
have something to do. st. Louis
claims to have the finest Unron
Passenger Depot in the United

dlSWell, ' a.
Dear Sir: If you should bake
bread that people like better
than other, and at less cost
by the day, you'd have a pretty
good business, wouldn't you?
We have just such business
as that in paint; a gal on goes
further than any other gallon of
paint in the country - that 5
bread at less cost by the day:
but the difference isn't so small
as it is in bread. And a lob
wears longer - that's bread at
less cost by the year. People
hate to paint; it costs money
to paint; and they hate the
fuss. They like our bread by
the year. If your bread is
better than anybodyelse's, and
cost less too. you've got a
good trade for people do like
good bread; and people like
money. 1t doesn't take long
to fnd-out; give 'em time.
But you can't bake better
than body else's bread for half
the usual price a BREAKFAST, can
you?
Devoe is just such paint as
that. The price by the gallon
or loaf is no matter. Count
by the day week year lifetime.
We hope yours is as good.
Yours truly

them and they are known to grow
where immense forests once stood.
Very often some example is cited to
prove tibet ruth of the theory that
the removal OF forests decreases pre-
cipitation but when thoroughly in
vestigated the cause is invariably
found to exist somewhere else.
When once explained the theory
seems to reach the height of absurd
ity. Where streams are lacking the
soil is at one time deluged with tor
rents Of water, at another it is
cracked with drought, and the farm
er complains that since the disap-
pearance of the forests the rainfall
has decreased and for that reason
he can grow no crops. On the other
hand where there are trees in album
dance, the streams are always full
and seem to follow halfway course,
never overflowing or yet yielding to
drought. The forests are therefore
conceded to have some influence over
the distribution of the precipitation.
but do not influence the precipitation
itself. Where the sun has full sway
the surrounding earth is affected by
evaporation so that at one time there
is flood and at another drought. The
presence of forests seems to influence
the distribution of precipitation in
that the earth is protected by the
shade and the water is allowed to
slowly drain off through soil con-
stantly damp because of thep rotec-
ton afforded by thes hade of the
forest.
