Letter to c. S. Peterson,
Mcdowell, Va.

Dear Sir: Mrs. S. C. Ashes house
in Yorkville, S. G., was painted
Devoe 81 years ago and hadn't
been painted since: it is a hand
some house and the paint was in
good condition when we were there
three years ago.
Do we therefore say that Devoe
wears 81 wears in South Carolina?
No; on the sandy coast, where the
sun is hot and the flying sand cuts
the bark on trees, Devoe is the on
ly paint that wears more than one
year.
Localities differ; Devoe doesn't
differ. 1t is the paint that takes
least gallons to cover job and
makes least cost and wears longest;
how long, depends on sun, wind,
sand, etc. ~
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.
P. S.-Ast & Hager, Stanton,

The Gay White Way.

On Mor.iay February II. Sam s. and Lee
Shuberi, Incorporated will present at the
Academy of Music Baltimore. their biggest
and latest musicql production. ''The Gay
White WAY" the joint work of Ludwig Eng
lander and Sidney Rosenfeld. The Gay
White Way is musical view, pure and
simple, and takes the auditor by means of
cIeverly written and acted buresque and ira
vestes. over the dramatic and musical successes
of the present and past seasons. There is Il
story dealing with the pursuit ot runaway
wife bv her husband. but it is not complicated
enough 10 detract from the purely entertaining
features of the production. In all there are
more than 80 burlesques. travesies and imiiat-
ions. strung on the thread of the story, and
tunefn .ougs and ensemble numbers, while
the dancing is a delight 10 the eye.
At the haad Of the company of eighty, is
the tri star combination of Jefferson De
Angels. Blanche Ring q Alexander Carr. The
supporting company Is if anything better than
past Casino organizations. which have ALWAYS
set the standard in this respect and includes
such we'll known people as Maud Raymond.
the effervescent singer of ''coon" Songs, who
swept the country with her "Bil Simmons"
last season, and who has new song entitled
'sSomebody's Been Around Bere Since I've
Been Gone" which is becoming just as big a
hit as Its predecessor; Frank Doane, a versatile
player of parts, Melville Ellis, with his clever
pianologue, Laura Guerite, who replicas Anna
Held, and host of others, including Estelle
Christy, the typical Shubert girl, and chorus
selected because of their ability as singers and
dancers.
''The Gay White Way is in three acts,
and the mounting and costuming are Shubert
standard-the highest.
Several notable song hits are Miss Ray
mond's song, noted above. ''Somebody's Been
Around Here Since I've Been Gone;
"Climbing The Ladder of Love" by Miss
Ring and Mr.. Carr; Rain In The Face by
Mr.. De Angels" and Dixie DAM and "The
Irish Fluffy Ruffles" by Miss Ring.

Western Maryland Railroad Gels
Big Contract.
To Haul 100000 Tons Of Farming
Implements From Chicago to
Baltimore.

The Western Maryland Railroad is now
filling contract to carry 800 carloads of
hardware from Chicago 10 Port COvingt0n.
Baltimore. where the implements will be
placed aboard steamships chartered by the
International Harvesting Machine Company
and delivered at Odessa and other points IN
the Black Sea territory. The steamship
Baron Dreisen is now at Port Covington for
full cargo.
The first shipment went out to Russia
early last month on the steamship Herman
Lerche. the cargo aggregating 5000 tons.
The total shipment Of farming implements
will amount to 10000 tons, or SAC, 900. 900
pounds, which will give some idea of the
enormous character of this one line of export
over the Port Covington piers. The freight
charges alone for moving this vast consign-
meni from Chicago to Baltimore amount to
about 81, 1873, 900. as the rate from Chicago to
to that city is 20 cents per 100 pounds.
1t will require about four months to com
plete the Shipment and the final cargo is
expected to leave Port Covington the latter
part of April. General Traffic Manager Hin
bricks stated that the Western Maryland was
handling the freight end of the contract with
excellent facility and that there would be no
time lost by the steamships in loading here.
For years this immense volume of export
business to Russian points went out from New
York. the implements being brought from
Chicago to that city. The extension of the
Western Maryland Railroad under the Gould
management made it possible for Baltimore
to enter the field against New York and wrest
the business from the port.
The shipment will make a new record for
this port in so far as the time limit-four
months-is concerned, and it is stated upon
good authority that Port Covington will also
be the point of shipment for like cargoes TO
other foreign ports in the near future.

State Roads.

There is no subject engaging more
thoughtful attention, upon the part of the
people of our State, at this time, than that
Of good roads.
The Governor of the State is in full ac-
cord with the sentiment of the people, that
the time has come, when Maryland should
enter upon a well-matured and systematic
plan for the building and maintenance of
good roads in the various parts of the State.
The building of our principal turnpike
roads antedates, by great many years,
the building of railroads. The three main
turnpike companies, to wit /: The Balti-
more and Reisterstown, the Frederick turn
pike and the York turnpike companies were
chartered by the Legislature of Maryland
in 1904, and the building Immediately fol-
lowed the granting of the charters. Other
turnpike roads were built from time to
time, and they all subserved a most valua-
BILE purpose, and were in their earl days
as important to the people of the commu
nifty, as the railroads are at present.
But the time has come, in the march of
progress, when the sentiment of the people
is that toll roads shall be abolished, and
that the State shall undertake the work of
building and maintaining our great high
ways.
A bill has been prepared to introduce
into the legislature at an early day, COM
prising a most comprehensive scheme for
Maryland road building. This bill has the
approval of the Governor and if enacted
into law, will be one of the most impor-
tant pieces of legislation our State has
ever entered upon, and one which will
bring the largest returns to our agricul-
tural communities.

ANNAPOLIS NOTES

Mr.. Snader has introduced bill to pro-
vide for water works in New Windsor.
The disfranchising amendment passed
the House and was read the first time in
the Senate.
A bill was introduced to increase the
salaries of Senators and members of the
House from S. to SO per day.
A bill has been introduced requiring
Christian Science practitioners to pass an
examination before the State Medical
Board.
A bill to require fire insurance compa-
MES to pay the full amount of their policies
where there is a total loss, aimed at the 80
per cent. clause.
The primary election bill will be along
the lines of the resolution adopted at the
State convention, which provided that the
nomination for United States Senator
should be made by the counties and Balti-
more city, and not by popular vote.
1t is anticipated that General Henry M.
WarGeld, the new adjutant general, and
his wife will materially assist in the social
end of the administration of the bachelor
Governor. Secretary of State and Mrs.
N. Winslow Williams will also be active in
this respect when occasion requires, but
the Secretary of State will not live in An
napolis. He says that his law practice
will require his residence in Baltimore.
Guy w. Steele, of this city, and James
H. Covington, Of Talbot, by request of
the State Bar Association, appeared before
the Finance Committee on Tuesday and
spoke in favor of the bill to revise the
criminal laws. They told the committee
of various crimes which had been commit

Maryland. They also told of incongruities
and inconsistencies which should be reme-

GOVERNOR ON GOOD ROADS
To Be Leading Feature Of His Ad-
minis tration.


ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Feb. 11.-GovernOr
Crnlhers delivered vigorous speech to day
on the subject of good roads and his plan
of State aid for them before the Taxpay
ers' Association of Anne Arundel county.
The Governor said that he stood absolutely
and uuequivocally pledged to the promo
tion of good roads SO far as it was possible
for him to do so. He declared that he
was convinced that the taxpayers would
acauiesce in any system for raising the
money needed, SO long as the money was
intelligently and honestly spent.
The Governor further remarked that
the improvement Of the roads was the most
imperative public need, because the class
of people who would be directly benefited
were those who had heretofore borne the
heaviest expenses of government and had
received the least benefit. These, he said,
would be the first benefciaries of good
roads, but there could be no improvement
that would benefit the whole people more.
Baltimore, he claimed, would receive i'm
uonse DcHoutS lIOiu SouClh oyoIoh Va
good roads leading into that city. The
Governor specifically approved Of the State
road from Baltimore to Annapolis.
The Governor thinks that the scheme Of
State road construction should be managed
like great business enterprise. He does
not believe that the undertakings by the
separate counties should be interfered with,
but, on the other hand, the local authori-
ties should be encouraged by the commits
sion which had the matter in charge.
In closing the Governor referred to the
public improvements in Annapolis. The
city had within his memory accomplished
improvements which excited the envy of
other communities. 1t had done SO, he
declared, by borrowing money upon bonds
and he had not heard single citizen COM
plain of the resultant taxes.
