Dear Sir: There are two sorts of paint:
one to sell and make money, the other
to paint and save money.
Who gets the money? The maker,
the seller, the painter.
Where does ii come from? The owner
of course; he pays the painter for doing
the work, and the dealer for gallons of
paint; and he pays the paint-manufact-
uTcr, gallons again: more gallons. more
money all round for the owner to pay
to the painter dealer and paintmanu-
iaCturcT.
What's the paint that saves money?
Gallons again; less gallons, less money
for paint, less money for wages; a gal
Ion of paint is 81 for wages and paint.
Less gallons less money to pay, - n
gallon.
Two sorts of paint: less gallons and
more: less money and more: - gal
Ion difference: two to one in gallons
and money. 1t costs twice as much to-
paint the average more gallons paint as
to paint DcVoe. When the people find
out, it may not be quite so easy to sell

WORK DAY FOR THE ORPHANS.


Connie Maxwell Orphanage, in
which is emphasized the impor.
tauce of general observance OF
Work Day this year, particular
ly by the Sunday schools in the
State. We quote from the sup
plement:
We hope every Sunday School
~ the State will observe Work
Dav this year. Not only the
Baptists are asked 10 observe The
DAY, but Methodlsts, Presbyter-
ians, Lutherans, Catholics, He
brews, all, all, every where-are
asked to work Saturday, October
third, and send the proceeds de-
rived from their la5ors to the Or
phanage Of their choice.
The best way to make any
such observance a success is to
plan for it. Let the Superin-
tendent appoint committees
whose duty it shall be to see TO
it that Work Day is we'll adver
tised. Send to us for literature.
Scatter the notices everywhere.
Let those whowork on the farms
know of it, and those who work
in the mills, and shops and every
where.
Plan for a big day and you
will have it.
Announce that the money is
to be brought to Sunday School
the day following Work Day,
and have day of special OBJ
servance. We have prepared a
suitable program for that day
which we will be glad to send to
those who ask for it.
Nothing works so we'll as
well-planned scheme. Plan for
Work Day, and follow your plan,
and you will succeed"
The Work Day idea is an eX
cellent one, and if faithfully car
ried out this year as usual will
result in the extension of sub
stantial and much needed aid to
the many inmates of the orphan
ages in the State. All told, there
are now $50 persons in the Con.

the expenses OF the institution
average 50 900 a month. Un-
fortunately. the contributions

MESA
oRAToRIcAL CONTEST
By Students of Mesa High School, Ex-
 hibits Exceptional Talent

1 Few similar occasions have excited more local interest among the residents
 of Mesa than the oratOrical contest given at the Mesa opera house last
 Friday evening. which was participant
 ed in b- ten of the students of the High school, eight girls and two boys. | A well prepared program composed
 of recitations and musical selections
 rendered by the High school orchestra and the Mesa band was most credit | ably performed. The house was well | filled, both in the auditorium and gal | lery with interested and enthusiastic spectators.
 The contestants delivered their ora tions and declamations with an ease and naturalness which would have done credit to persons much older and accustomed to appearing before the public They displayed careful train ing and practice. their delivery being audible to those in every part of the house.
 Competent judges had been secured to determine the winning contestant. There were Mrs. May French Cooley. director of elocution at the Arizona School of Music of Phoenix, C. Sidney Maddox and Attorney George w. Sil- verthorn of Mesa. Their task was any thing but an enViabie one. as the hon. ors were SO evenly divided among those participating and each one de- servedly came in for individual praise. However it was finally decided after a careful consultation among them that Miss Alton Clark was the successful contestant, and was awarded the gold medal. Attorney Silverthorn. to whose lot it fell to present this, made an ap- propriate speech, and complimented each of the young folks on the manner in which they so admirably executed their declamations.
 Miss Clark selected for the occasion the recitation The Pilots Story" and in her delivery, exhibited marked tal- ent and possessed splendid adaptibil- ity to the selection. Her gestures were at all times characteristic and her voice we'll under control and mod ulated. and she spoke with an ease and grace which portrayed the composure of a true student of elOcution.
 Miss Clark will represent the Mesa High school at the territoral contest which will take place at the Tempe Normal on Saturday evening. March l4 Tickets can be had by applying to The Normal Student" under the aus pices of which this contest will be given.

 McGregor alleges that he had been looking for Buck for the past forty days. and during the day had asked for his salary. This however Buck re- fused to pay. McGregor then stated that he would institute suit. Later in the evening while McGregor was in his room reading he says Buck entered and drawing his revolver began using abusive language and threatened 10 kill McGregor if he brought suit against him.. Later, at the hearing of the case before Judge Guthrie. Buck was acquitted it not appearing in the evidence that injury to the person of McGregor was intended.
