Letter to J. 0. San Souci & Co.
Olneyville, K. I.

Olneyville, r. +.
Dear Sir: The wear Of paint goes by
gallons; the less-gallons paint wears
ongest The reason, Of course, is its
strength. 1t takes less gallons, because il
is strong; it wears long time, because it is
strong. 1t is all paint and the stronges,
paint.
There is best paint among all.paiuts
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. Per-
haps somebody.else will hnd-out a better
paint than Devoe; then Devoe will be-
come a more. gallons paint, a costlier paint,
a weaker paint, less-durable paint, less
economical paint, timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have come over
the world. Devoe has the lead; why
shouldn't we lose it to somebody else?
Yours truly

Work Of the Farmer,

The countless millions of our popula-

can farmer. The grain waving In
golden beauty upon the great plains Of
the west, the cotton drifting like sum

freight the fleets of nations and loose
their sails. thread the continents with
track of steel. fill the earth with the
roar Of trains and heap for trade and
commerce and useful art those stores
that make a nation great Where are
the sinews Of our strength If they are
not found In our great, diversified agri
cultural products? What victorious
hosts ever waved as joyous banners as
those that float above the tasseled
maize from the SHOWS of Maine to the
spicy groves Of California? What spirit
Of beauty hovers above southern fields

Tortoise That breads Rain.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly so.
Twenty-four hours or more before rain
falls the Galapagos tortoise makes for
some convenient shelter. On bright,
clear morning when not cloud is to
be seen the denizens of a tortoise farm
on the African coast may sometimes
be seen heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens
the proprietor knows that rain will
come down during the day. and. as a
rule, ii comes down I'm torrents. The
sign never fails. This presensation, or
whatever you may call 1t, which exists
In many birds and beasts. may be ex-
planned partly from the increasing
weight Of the atmosphere when rain is
forming, partly by habits of living and
partly from the need of moisture.
