COMPLAINTS ABOUT PAINT.

The time to complain about paint
Is before the painter applies 1t. The
man who puts UP the money should
not shirk the responsibility OF choos-
Ing the paint. True, the painter
ought to know paint better than the
banker, the professional man or the
merchant. The trouble Is, the house
owner too often deliberately bars the
competent and honest painter from
the job by accepting bid which he
ought to know would make an honest
Job impossible.
Secure your bids on the basis Of
National Lead Company's pure White
Lead and pure Linseed Oil and see
that you get these materials.
No one need be fooled by adulter-
ated white lead. A blowpipe testing
outfit will be mailed to anyone inter-
ested In paint.

MORE MIDWAY
FUN TONIGHT

If there are any who, on account of
the crowd, were unable to witness and
enjoy the big double pull at the tug
ofwar exhibition at the Midway en-
Saturday evening, they will have an
opportunity tonight of observing two
more of the exciting contests, when
the Portuguese team and the Aloha
American team go at each other, and
the Hawaii team and the Huehues Try
it out.
The Hawaii boys are the famous Pa
cifc Hardware members, large part
of them, and have many victories to
their credit, while the Aloha-Americans
are captained by Harry Klemme. The
Hawaiis are coached by George Har-
ris, the expert tug-of- war scientist of
the Islands. All teams are confident of
success and the strains will be the
greatest yet.
The Portuguese team have been prac-
Using on Punchbowl every day and
have great strength, while the Huehues
mean to make record or apologize.
They are the famous Red Shirt Bri-
gade.
There are over two thousand men of
the Naval auxiliary service in the city
and many of them on Saturday en-
ioyed the tug -of-war exhibition, and
doubtless many more will be seen this
evening, at the Hawaiian Midway, be-
tween Alakea and Richards streets,
below Queen, mixing with the townfolk
at one of the most exhilarating shows
in the city.

rival was a tame steer, broken to the
saddle and trained to dance.
The latter will be used to advertise
the Wild West Show, and yesterday
afternoon, mounted by Cowboy Nigel
Jackson, met the crowd returning from
the ball games and the rider expressed
a hope that he would have the pleasure
of meeting them all at Waikiki during

week.

YE EDITOR
BACKS LOSER

Those in charge of the Wild West
Show, which formed such an important
feature of the recent celebration, arc
to be congratulated upon putting up
the most interesting feature of the
sports program. The enthusiasm Of
those who attend a horse race is usual
ly tempered by the settled belief that
the horse is very unimportant figure
in the event named after him, and that
he wins or loses by prearrangement,
for the purpose of enabling some owner
to get at the pocketbook of some other
owner, or of the general public
Whether this suspicion is well founded
or not we do not pretend to say.
A wild steer, however, is such an
unsophistieated creature that it is diff
ficult to fix him in the interests of
anybody, and his sole object in life
while on exhibition is to escape the
lassoo and the rope, regardless of the
betting.-Hilo Tribune.

differences. The classification is full
in nearly every breed. The list of spe-

The program might consist of 25, So,

There are some crack water polo
players on the ships of the fleet and
a team could easily be picked which

such a contest.
The Hotel Baths, it is said, change

doubt that they could be secured for
the purpose mentioned from whoever
