HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which 1t May be Identified
Before USING.

After a building has been painted
long enough for weather test, It Is
easy to tell 4 the paint used was
made of pure White Lead or not. But
such belated knowledge comes like
locking the barn after the colt is sto-
len.
What one wants Is test that will
tell the quality of the paint before II
and the labor Of putting It on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way in
which genuine White Lead may be
positively distinguished from adul-
terated or fake White Lead before
you spend a cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead Is made from me-
talllc lead, and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will resolve itself
back into metallic lead. II. however.
II is not genuine White Lead, or If II
contains the slightest trace of adul-
teration, the change will not take
place. Therefore the "blow-pipe" test
is an absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging every one interested in paint
ing to make this test OF paint before
using II, and they guarantee that the
pure White Lead sold under their
Dutch Boy Painter" trademark will
always prove absolutely pure under
the "blow-pipe" or any other test.
To make It easy for you to perform
the experiment they will send you
free upon request a blow-pipe and
everything necessary for you to make
the test, together with a valuable
booklet on paint. Address, National
Lead Company, Woodbridge Building.

vIROQUA PEOPLE PAY TRIBUTE.
Decoration Day Fittingly Observed BY
Veterans and Citizens

Another Decoration day has passed
and another sitting observance of the
sacred day was carried out successfully
in Viroaua this year under the direc-
| tion of the Alex lsowric Post. All
morning the weather was threatening
and not until the appointed hour of the
parade it e tain that this feature
of the day could be carried out. How
ever, the -arade was probably the
| largest eve known. being nearly three
blocks in LEM th. Members of the G.
| A. R. are well pleased with the new
arrangements of having the court house
yard as meeting place for all partiei-
| pants.
At the cemetery the program as pub
lished was carried out to the letter
The band rendered several selections,
and the school children participated
with songs. The rendition of Lincoln S
Gettysburg address by Harry Blythe
was faultless, he inspiring his listeners
with the gems of thought spoken more
than thirty-five years ago, and still
| fresh in the minds of all patriotic
| Americans. The Ladies' Relief Corps,
according to the beautiful custom, paid
| their loving tribute TO the unknown
dead. Little Marjorie Lind, great
granddaughter to Comrade Capt. Con-
nor, rendered beautiful recitation en-
| titled, Passing of the Soldier" 3"
The Memorial address was made by
Judge ID. 0. Mahoney, who spoke thirty
minutes in eloquent and fitting terms
of the sacrifices made by the men who
went to the front in 81, endangering as
they did health and life, and lost much
of opportunity for accumulation of
worldly goods. But the heroes who
survived have full knowledge that the
American people appreciate their deeds
of valor and daring. The year will
never again pass when throughout the
United States there is failure to observe
Decoration day in appropriate and solem
manner. Mr.. Mahoney said the schools
of the land were doing much, and should
do still more to instill into the youth of
this land the knowledge of the obliga-
tion resting upon present and future
generations for the heritage bequeathed
them by the soldiers of 81 to '65 in
stamping out treason and giving us truly
a land of the free. He said the women
were no less patriotic and loyal than
were the men of the north during the
great civil struggle. They maintained
the homes, nursed the sick and wounded.
Judge Mahoney closed his address by
expressing the wish and belief that the
people of Vernon county should without
delay make provisions for the erection
of a suitable monument in the court
house park to commemorate the mem
ory and deeds OF our soldier dead.
After returning from the cemetery
the old boys in blue together with
Spanish-American war veterans were
served with refreshments which were
appreciated after returning at the
merry pace set by the Third regiment
band Many stories and experiences of
war were related by the veterans at
their rooms in the court house during
the time the ladies were preparing the
feast.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO DO.

Net long ago young man came to
Baraboo looking for something to do.
He was handicapped because he was
without experience in an occupation.
There never was greater demand for
men who can do things than there is
today. Every corporation and every
company are keenly anxious to secure
men who can do something. They
want men with push, capability and
plenty of initiative. They want men
who can produce results. Good men
are wanted everywhere and they are
indispensable. The great trouble is to
find men VINO have thoroughly equipped
themselves for the parts they would
perform, and who are willing to give a
full measure of service for the wages
they ask. There are far too many men
looking, not for work, but for snaps, i"
and snaps are scarce. Barabco News.
