hid you ever look up the meaning
- of the words Price" and Cost?
We venture you'd be interested, even
surprised.
"Price" originally meant not money, not CASH
but Reward, Praise, Worth. In the days of
Caesar they called it "Pretium.''
"Cost' comes from the old Icelander word
"Koster," signifying to Choose, to Test, to
Prove.
So price" is really the Worth of the thing sold.
Cost" means how we'll the thing bought proves
up in actual use.
So we're not far off the track today, for when you
buy paint the Price of should be the of its
usefulness, in appearance and wear. Its Cost to you
will be how we'll it stands the test you put it to- If it
does well, it's cheap; if not, you paid too much.
Measured by this, poor paint costs far, far than
good paint; never worth the price asked and never
stands the test of wear.
There's one house paint made that's worth the price
and stands the test and that's HORSE SHOE
BRAND HOUSE PAINT, best lead zinc, aged
linseed oil, japan, colorng matter and nothing else;
honest materials, honestly prepared sold on honor

| Montgomery, June 1S.--(Specialo-
The outlook for a year of agitation
and contention is bright as a result
of the purchase of the properties OF
the citizens Light, Heat and Power
company by Richard Tillis president
of the Montgomery Traction company
The belief is general that the Mont
gomery Light and Water Power COM
pany, owned by Henry L. Doherty OF
New York, will never consent TO an
invasion of its business by the extern
sion of lines of purchased company
without a fight, the like OF when lew
cities have ever seen.
Alex Rice at a conference in New
York in May made an agreement TO
deliver a majority of the stock or
the Citizens company, OF which ne Is
president. to Henry L. Doherty. and
the delivery was to have been made
on June Is in Montgomery. On that
dav the representative of Doherty,
| George williams, was ready to com
nlete the trade. but Rice did not come
to time. On Thursday, June 16, the
Doherty people filed petition for a
receiver for the Citizens company and
an Injunction to prevent the sale of the
stock to anyone else.
On Friday it became known that Mr..
| Tillis had made the purchase. He Is
owner of the street railway, but the
plant bought generates only alternating
current. which cannot be uscd by the
street railway. The idea among some
| is that Mr.. Tillis. who is in bad
health, desires to sell to the owners
of the Montgomery company not only
the properties of the Citizens company
| but the street railway as well. The
Doherty people DO operate street rail
WAYS in some of the town where they
own plants. Mr.. Tlllis asserts. how
ever, that it is his intention to not
only operate the properties but to
greatly increase their efficiency.
Friends of the Doherty people are
Tsore, very sore. and they let 1t DE
known that they will fight every point.
They will ask the courts to force the
delivery of the stock as Rice promised
also they will demand of Mr.. Rice dam
ages. Failing in these, they Will put
up a fight that will make all other con
tests look like Sunday school plcnlcs.
Every contract Will be fought Tor anu
the price will be the least considera
