accommodation in the city will be
taxed to provide places for them. The
occasion is the eighth annual conven-
ton of the state school association,
which will be in session during the re-
mainder of the week at the State Uni
versity.

practical points on instruction in
every field in which teachers are in
terested. History, industrial educa-
ton and the apportionment of school
funds are the three chief topics slat-
ed for discussion. At the initial ses-
sion this morning the prominet speak
ers included Elwood P. Cubberly of
Stanford University and Edward Hy-
att, superintendent of public instruc
ton of California. President R. F.
Robinson of Portland occupied the
chair.

LETTER TO WIN. BRANAGAN,
Palestine, Texas.

Dear Sir: The hardest climate fol
paint is Florida; and Devoe is the
longest wearing paint in that state.
D. G. Smith of Madison, Fla, says:
81 painted my mothers house Devoe
II years ago, and today it looks bet,
ter than other houses in town that
were painted with other paint 8 or 4
years ago." Three or four and
eleven.
This shows two things: % the low
standard of paint in that part of the
country; and (2) that Devoe is the
paint that wears.
1t doesn't show the whole fact;
which is: Devoe is the paint that
takes least gallons to do the job,
makes first cost by ratio of to 3,
2 to 4. 2 to 5, 2 to 6, for the job.
Smith wasn't thinking about the
cost of the job; it was done a long

1t was a happy crowd that gathered
at the Christian church last evening
for the regular prayer meeting SER

an improvement, and the lesson was
interesting and instructive At the
close Rev. Anderson made an urgent
appeal for those without Christ to
accept Him and lead the christian
life. Two came forward This con-
gregation is growing rapidly, three
additions resulting so far this week.
At the close of the service Rev. An

BOYS LONG SWIM
Youngsters Risk Lives al Chest
 Dut HiII Reservoir.

Four boys of Polish parents swum the entire length of Chestnut Hiii reservoir last Sunday, a distance ol good half mile. After resting while they undertook to swim back. They kept as much as possible to- gether to render assistance in case any would be needed and they were about half way across when ono shouted to the others that ne was weakening and would like to be tax en ashore. The condition of the boy scared the others. He was ex- tremely weak and it was evident 10 them that he had not called Tor as- sistance until he found he could not swim another stroke, They gathered about him and soon had him on shore at the nearest point, com- pletely Jagged out They did not see the risk they had run unsil af- rewards when they were working hard over their comrade trying to strengthen him for the homeward walk.
 Chestnut Hill reservoir is one of tine most dangerous places for swim ming in these parts. It is always extremely cold and is full of dan gerous springs. While crossing one of these one is liable to be seized with cramps on account of the ex- treme coldness of the water and un- less assistance is very near it Is 10 to 1t will be all up with him.
 A few years ago strong man was drowned there while his friends were looking on. He was seized with cramps and went down before assistance could reach him.
