Dear Sir: II you sell Devoe to
paint your town. your road won't
have SO much freight to handle.
II takes 10 gallons to paints fair
sized house. and that house won't
want painting again for or 10 years.
That's true In way: but people. you
know, rather like fresh paint. ana
theypay for nothing but looks some
times.
That house would take IL or 10
gallons of all moust any other kind OF
paint than Devoe, and would have to
be painted again in half that time.
Ten years Is very long time for a
paint to wear: .and five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight. a
10 or 90 gallon paint? or 10
year paint? But the 10 gallon paint
is the 10 year paint; and the 20 gal
lon paint Is the year paint. Which
makes the most freight?
Ask your paint dealer which he'd
rather sell. and which he could sell
most of. Ask your painter which
he'd rather paint; whether good or
bad paint is good for his business:
which is good paint, the 10 or Is gall
Ion paint; which pays most freight.
and which pays most wages. Which
will you buy yourself, the 10-galion
10-year. or 20-gailon Swear, paint2

Timber Owners Organize.

One OF the most important econom-
ic movements of the day about which
the general public has yet learned
little is the concerted action Of own
.ers of timber in different parts OF
the country In organizing associa-
lions to protect their holdings from
fire. In the Pacific Northwest, the
Washington Forest Fire Association
has just elected officers at Seattle and
begun work for the year with $1,000
900 acres under It's care. The
plans include a system of patrol by
rangers resembling the work done
by the JUnited States Forest Service
in guarding against and extnguishing
fires.
Organizations OF similar kind and
for like purpose are at work in
Oregon and Idaho. In the latter
State, a portion OF the expense is
borne by taxation and paid from the
State treasury. A western railroad
company which holds large tracts OF
timber has taken steps to guard its
property from fire, and during the
short time that its plans have been
in operation. 1t has met with most
encouraging success.
Similar work Is being done on the
other side OF the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work
In the same systematic way to control
tn forests great enemy. fire. Like
are found in other
parts OF the country, showing how
fully 1t is now realized that protec-
tion against fire is of the greatest
Importance.
1t is safe to say that fires in this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have, cut. When
timber was abundant, the waste pass
ed almost unnoticed, but now that
scarcity is at hand and an actual
wood famine threatens in the near
future. the owners OF forest lands are
waking up and taking action to save
what is left.

Bad Roads Expensive.

Possibly, when the people of any
community, county or state awaken
to a realization of the facts as given
below by the Saturday Evening Post,
they will arouse themselves to action
which will overcome the enormous
expense Of having bad roads instead
OF good ones:
Director Page. Of the United States
Public Roads Office, in Analysing the
findings Of the Bureau Of Statistics,
shows that the cost Of hauling the
three principal crops-wheat. corn
and cotton-from the farm to the
railway is approximately fifty-six
million dollars per year This Is
the actual valne of the work per-
formed under existing conditions,
viz. with ninety-two per cent. OF the
roads unimproved.
From the data at hand. showing
the larger loads and the quicker
time made by delivery over good
roads, the calculation shows that
with good roads general throughout
the country the saving in this one
item of delivery would be owe.
twenty-five million dollars per year,
equal TO thirty cents per person last
year. The erratic market conditions
and unnecessary expense OF ware
housing the grain will add twice as
much more to the item OF waste.
There are numerous other directions
in which the burden OF bad roads APP
plies. 1t is conservative to say that
the money loss through bad roads
alone. to say nothing of the ethical.
educational and social burden, is not
less than one hundred million dol
lars per year, and is probably twice
that sum.
The testimony as to the effect OF
good roads on the value of farm
property is unanimous and over
whelming. 1t shows conclusively
that every dollar expended upon the
construction OF hard roads adds at
lease five dollars to the cash value of
the farms served by them. Good
roads are permanent asset to the
nation, the State and the farm. AS
an economic and sociological question
good roads should be regarded as
paramount. Their influence and
beneficence will in years to come
permeate the entire social fabric of
our country. Good roads mean edu-
cation, civilization.

Why Men Fail.

Eight important and prominent
business men were recently inter-
yieweds by writer for Success" a
splendid monthly magazine, on the
question Why Men Fail in Bust
ness?" The magazine printed its
queries as follows:
why do ninety-five per cent. of
American business men fall short of
success?
do the causes lie in outside con-
ditions, or in themselves?
Are the markets available to
United States merchants capable of
supporting only five per cent. Of
these merchants?
rs competition too strong to be
overcome?"
The men who were interviewed
are Mr.. Edward B. Hatch, president
of Lord & Taylor; Mr.. Henry A.
Haveweyer, president of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company; Mr..
Alexander j. Hemphill, yice-president
of the Guarantee Trust Company and
Others, and Mr.. Charles H. Steinway,
of the Steinway piano house. Mr..
Steinway's reply was as follows:
The main cause OF failure is lack
of knowledge. Another common
cause is lack of capital. Many men
do not know their business. and,
singularly enough, they do not seem
to know. their ignorance. A man
may know one side of business, and
yet be unfamiliar with another side.
He may be good manufacturer,
and poor financier. He may know
his stock. but not know how to sell
1t. He may know how to sell, but
be ignorant of credits. believe in
partnership in business"
Mr.. Steinway's reply reverses the
old adage that little learning Is a

tion he makes it is seen that lacl;

Taft and Presidency.

The present campaign for the Re-
publican nomination for president is
in large measure duplication OF the
Mckinley campaign of twelve years
ago. Then despite the clamor for
favorite sons, the irresistible wave
of personal popularity for Mckinley
swept all else aside. and the conven-
tion merely ratified nomination the
people had declard for months prev
ions.
So, too, Secretary Taft need have
little fear Of political intrigues. The
man behind the gun-the elector-in
city, town and country-has decided
in his own mind that the big war sec
rotary must succeed to the presi-
dency. That the man who has prov
en- himself superior to any and every
task assigned him, issright material
for the highest executive office.
The worlds history of every day is
read by all, and so man who is a
national figure, his name soon be-
comes a household word. Secretary
Taft has been big contributor in
the worlds events the past few years.
The prestige he enjoys over-shadows
all other candidates.
With this, combine and unsuliled
character and unfaltering courage. No
nation need fear such leadership.
