TAKE NOTICE

High markets for linseed OIL have
necessitated an advance In paint
prices. and while there is some talk
OF the property owner putting OFT
painting on account OF price, this does
not influence the wise property owner
who looks into the subject.
Let us figure this out: The price
OF paint represents only one-third &C
the total cost OF painting. Now thens
say IL takes 10 gallons to paint your
house, ana the paint costs 90 cehui
more than II did a year ago-an ad-
vance OF $500. Suppose a coat or NeW
Era Paint protects your property five
years Gin some cases even lOnger)-
That means only S1.O0 each year 10 in
sure the perfect protection OF your
buildings. Neglect or delay may cost
ten times this small sum.
You cannot afford 10 put OFF paint
ing, especially when IL Is a we'll known
fact that paint Will not cost any less
another year.

Visitors of Large Sums

II HE belief of the police that some
OF the cleverest pickpookets in
the country are operating at the
Utah state fair grounds was estab-
lished yesterday afternoon when il be-
came known that Willis Cotton, pro-
prietor OF a well-known ice plant In
this city, was robbed OF s1s5 IN cur
renoy and $50 IN checks.
Mr.. Cotton was standing near the
judges stand on the race course about
/ o'clock In the afternoon. A large
crowd OF men stood near him and, al
though he felt some apprehension for
the safety of his wallet, which he car
ried in his hip pocket all thought OF
IL was swept away in the excitement of
a neek-and- race down the home
stretch. Shortly afterward Mr.. Cotton
felt for his wallet and discovered that
IL had been taken.
He did not report the theft TO the
police, but before many minutes the
rumor of II had spread throughout the
grounds. and everyone who had any
money IN his pockets took all possible
