DR.. Broughton, OF Raleigh, re-
lates an amusing incident OF his
automobile run to Clayton last
week. When some distance from
the city, he saw a team ap-
preaching. The road was mar.
row, and the doctor was just
considering what effect his ma.
chine would have ON the mules,
when the driver reached down in
his wagon and picking up,a dou-
ble-barref shot gun laid it-across
his knees. The doctor instohtly
decided that the mules needed all
the road and stopped his ma,
chine until the wagon had SAT-
ely passed. Clayton Enterprise

Watch Repairing.

More good watches are ruined

watch is too costly an article to

What the Presidenteaysabont

Consequently the scout on duty was
compelled to invent ruses of his own

when some extremely dangerous mis-
sion had to be undertaken the scout
often puzzled the commander by re-
fusing aid in the shape Of a squad or
any chosen nj nber OF soldiers to ac-
company him. But actually it was the
part Of discretion to do so, as going
alone or with one or two chosen com
rades whom you knew to be true blue

against my left ear. and, as the storm
soon became so binding that even a

kept so close almost as to touch each

AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST.

There is a very simple and inter-
esting chemical test by which to de.
tect impurity in paint materials.
Thousands and thousands of people
all over the country are making this
test. 1t is sure way to safeguard
against the many adulterated white
leads which are on the market. Amy
one can make the test-all that is
needed is a simple little instrument
which can be had free by writing Ma
tlonal Lead Company, 1902 Trinity
Building, New York, and asking for
Houseowners' Painting Outfit No. 40.
The Outfit also includes a book OF
color schemes for exterior or interior
painting, or both II you wish, and a
set Of specifications. No houseowner
should make any arrangements for
painting till he gets this outfit.
One can't expect a satisfactory
painting Job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you're
getting a pure white lead-without
testing 1t. See that the keg bears
National Lead Company's famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is a positive guarantee OF purity. Your
dealer probably has this white lead.
II not let National Lead Company
know.
