Henderson, Y. {.


Dear:-Sir: Ii you could get the ex-
elusive sale OF n sweeter sugar for five
miles rOund-tlb as sweet as pound
of usual sugar. and cost no more-you'd
Jump at it, wouldn't you?
There wouldn't be 100 Id of any other
sugar sold in a year in your town: you'd
gobble the trade; and it wouldn't hurt
your whole business.
DevOe is like that among paints; it is
twice as sweet as some; it is sweeter
than any; not one exception; one gallon
is two or one and -a-half or e-and-
three quarters
Better than that; plant has to be
painted; that costs 81 to 81 a gallon. \
gallon saved is 81 to 81 saved in labor,
besides the paint.
Even that isn't ALL 4 gallon Devoe
puu-on wears as long as two gallons
put-on a. cost of 81 to 81 a gallon
and two gallons more put-on at 81 to
81 a gallon. Count all that The paint
that wears double costs less by 3 gallons
of paint and gallons painting; that S
about So n gallon for those superfiuous
gallons
That's as good as a double-sweet
sugar, ism { il?
Yours truly.

What Societies and Churches Do
SHOALS GROWTH
or sOUTBsIDE BAPTIST
 SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Systematic Work Has Made 1t One of the Largest Sunday schools in the
 City.

One c the interesting features to church and Sunday School workers more especially is the marvellous growth of the Sunday School of the Southside Baptist Church. The pastor, Rev. s. A. Cowan, the Superintendent R. NJ. Hendley. and the congregation of the church. are putting forth every possible effort with the result that the school under their leadership has more than doubled itself in membership in the past three months.
 The work of upbuildine the Sunday School was first systematically under taken at the beginning of the present year. The names and addresses of all of the men. women and children In the church and in the community within the district of the church who were not attending other churches or Sun day Schools, were taken, and a sys- tematic endeavor was started to bring these people into the church and espe- ciaIly the children into the Sunday School.
 The workers of the church and Sun day School were divided into groups of five to eight. and the motto was given them from St. Luke: And the Lord said unto the servants. go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in. that my house may be filled"
 With this motto the work has pro- eressed by giant strides and every Sunday finds the Sunday School of the progressive church in one of the com paratively less crowded section of the city crowded to the limit.
 A splendid program has been ar- ranged for next Sunday. Governor B. B. Conner will address the Sunday School the program will begin prompt ly at 9:30 o'clock. This address of the Governor of the State is one of the fifty-two special programs arranged for the year. The workers, not content with simply the getting of the children into the school. are endeavoring with all their might to hold them. and make them interested enough to become act i've workers.
 Next Sunday will be "Enrollment Day and every effort Is being made to make it the most interesting and the greatest day in the history of the Southside Baptist Church. To the ser vices the public Is cordially invited to be present. A special welcome awaits all strangers to the city and church.
 Cloverdale cars pass the church door, located on the corner of South Hull Street and Cramer Avenue.
