connection with the cases The
white man should not be permit

Where there Is a will there Is al
ways a way of doing things A news
paper special from Stamford says:
'"The finishing touches are being put
on the new high school building
and the union station. More than
100000 Is being spent upon street
paving in the city and as soon as the
money that was realized from the
sale of bonds Is exhausted, another
election will be ordered to issue
other bonds with which to carry on
the work of street paving and street
Improvement" If Stamford can do
these things why in the name of
reason and common sense can't
WaXahachie do as much? Numbers
of little places are going ahead with
street paving but the mere mention
of such thing causes the powers
that be in WaXahachie to have a
pain, How can we expect others TO
spend money in improvements when
the city takes the studs" at the
slightest pioyocatlon.

Letter to Robert Harrison,
Waxahachie. Texas.


Dear Sir: Here is story that
tells the fact as truly as II it were
true.
At the time when President Lin
coin was shot, in 1865, man had
three houses alike, in like condition,
and situated alike. He meant to find
out, by experiment, which of three
paints would prove most profitable.
He painted the first house lead
and-oil, the second Devoe, the third
another good paint, and, afterwards,
painted each house when required,
painted II with at first.
He got 25 gallons of each for the
job; had | gallon left on the first
house, and 4 on the second but had
to get Z gallons more for the third,
He was surprised at the difference;
he had expected one paint to go as
far as another.
The costs of the several paints by
the gallon were not far apart, lead
and oil l.60; Devoe $lT5, the
other paint s1.50; and the cost of
all three was the same for labor, 50
a gallon.
~ A,<. SsA s~aSS.-s SSx RSs-EAcc .kskc !. aSGN
In three years, Devoe once in six,
and the other paint once in five
years
Amy schoolboy can reckon his costs
for those three houses for thirty
years; that's haainess mans life
time.

Devoe A9S.T5
Other paint $4,000

And the story Is Just as good as
II 1t were actual history. Paint Is so
profitable that even dear paint is
cheap; but half the money paid for
paint is thrown away by using
weak paint, supposed to be cheap,
but Is dear.
Strong paint Is cheap; weak paint
is dear; the least gallons paint Is
the most economical paint; Devoe.

School may develop your child's

The best way to keep your child's

themselves with.
