LETTER TO REV. j. j. HALL,
OIneyviIIe.

Rev. Sir: We should like to ask
your advice on certain thing done:
was 1t right or wrong? We shall have
TO state it, including the names.
ID + Dreicorn is a painter in Hol
yoke, Mass. John j Donohue is an
architect, Springfield, nearby.
Donohue was building, at Holyoke
the Holy Family Institute, letting th5
work by bids, as usual. Dreicorn goJ
the paint job; the paint was to be
lead-and-oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself lead
and-oil isn't half SO good as Devoe
and it costs more money, what shall
| do?" He painted Devoe; and. after
the work was done, told Donohue,
saying "if that isn't better than an,
lead-and-oil job, I'll make it So"
Was Dreicorn right or wrong in
painting a lead-and-oil JOB Devoe?
You ask how it turned-out This
was six years ago. Now Donohue
has another job there, big addition
TO the Catholic Hospital; and he
doesn't ask bids for the painting, but
says TO Dreicorn: Go ahead Drei.
corn and give me as good a job as
best paint job | ever saw"
The question is WAS Dreicorn
right in painting Devoe when he had
agreed to paint lead-and-oil?"
That isn't quite all. Lead-and-oil is
expected 10 last three years. n Drei-
corn had used lead-and-oil. there
would have been another job for him
or somebody-else three years ago.
Was he right in losing that job for
himself or Aomebody-else three years
ago?
The Institute took 200 gallons De.
voc and cost $1,000; the paint has
worn six years, when Donohue says
its the best paint job he ever saw" ."
II he had used lead-and-oil. II would
have cost about $4,000 for the two
paint jobs (six and three years ago)
and be hungry for paint again.
Dreicorn lost 1920 OF business and
took the risk Of making Donohue mad
and losing his business, forever: all
90 save the Holy Family Institute
5000 besides the fuss OF a paint joo
Was Dreicorn right or wrong as a
painter: and which would you paint
your church. lead-and-oil or Devoe?
Yours truly

Labor.

The doctrine Of the farm is merely
this. that every man ought 10 stand in
primary relations with the work OF the
world: ought to do II himself ana not
to suffer the accident Of his having Il

bred to some dishouorablc or injurious
craft. 10 sever him from those duties
and for this reason, that labor Is Gods
education; that he only il u sincere

That some of the greatest develop ments, in many years, by the Birm- ingham Iron Company. will take place in the Bessemer district seems to be an assured fact.
 On the proposed route of the At lanta- Birmingham and Atlantic rail road. between that city and Birmtag- ham, the company has recently pur- chased about five thousand acres of mineral land which is being sounded at this time, and which, 1t is claimed. will be the seat of one of the largest coal mines in the district.
 An experienced engineer from Princeton, is on the ground and has charge of the tests being made. and 1t suited in the discovery of two veins Of coal. The first, located at a depth of about two hundred feet is about three feet in thickness, while the second is at a much greater depth and about six feet thick.
 The proposed new mines are located on Short Creek about twelve miles distance from North Birmingham and are in an altogether undeveloped field and will be tapped by the new rali- road. It is said that the company is 70 spend a million dollars in the dcvel- opment of the mineral, to say nothing of other Improvements and aditions to the Birmingham Iron Company.

TROUBLE IN SALVADOR.

Believed that Inauguration Was Not
 Pulled on.
 City of Mexico, March 2.--The com plete lack Of news from San Salvador for three days past has caused consid- erable speculation in Mexico City as to the existing conditions in the small Central American Republic.
 General Figuero should have been in- stalled as President of the republic yes- terday and 1t is almost invariable that when a new president is installed in one of the Central American republics without trouble an osicial dispatch to that effect is sent to Mexico City. As yet not al word has been received in Mexico City from Salvador relative to the inauguration.
 This fact taken into the news re- ceived some time ago stating that e revolution would break out before or tHst at the time when General Figuero attempted to assume office lends color to the belief that trouble has developed. 20 pounds Standard Fine GranuIated Sugar, S1.00.

 The Shoot amendment was the only one in the bill which occasioned dis cussfon, Senator McLaurin offered an amendment which provided that the protestants against Senator .Smoot should receive an equal amount. When this was laid on the table he proposed that half the amount should go to the protestants.
 It was explained that Senator Shoot had paid his attorneys S20,0o0 and the amount in the bill would only reim- purse him partially for this expendi- ture.
 It was also stated in opposition to the amendment of Mir McLaurin that the government had paid all expenses of attending witnesses. making a total of more than s2eO0O. MT.
