Harmony of DRESS.

A beautiful woman also studies the har-
mony Of painting well kept home; takes
care to have the house painted with paint
that will continue TO look bright, clean
and fresh looking. The L. & M. never
becomes dingy, because only chemically
pure colors are used; only the finest
White Lead; only the pure Linseed Oil;
only expert paint makers produce it with
machinery-a thousand gallons at time
Contrast this with the costly and crude
production of White Lead Paint made by
hand labor with stick in pot--a few
gallons at time. L & M. is sold by

Tie Parcels POST and the Country
Merchant.

Whenever the bill for the parcels post
comes up in Congress there is great out
cry about the country merchant. A
parcels post, il is said, will ruin the
country merchant The country mer-
chants are not making the outcry. 1t is
the express companies. They overcharge
the country merchants and Cypress them
to the full extent of their opportunities
and then get behind the country mer-
chants to protect their monopoly.
The parcels post would not hurt the
country merchant. On the contrary, it
would enable him TO do an order business
for his patrons and to retail country pro-
ducts In the cities. A vast amount of
food goes to waste on every farm at a
time when people in the cities have to
pay big prices for it. The cost of trans
portation and distribution is too great. A
family in London makes an arrangement
with farmer to send dozen fresh eggs
By mail every morning or two. Boxes
for this purpose are made, and the cost of
1carrying dozen eggs from any part of
England to the front door of house In
London is AID, orss cents. The Lon
don family can get pound Of fresh
butter this way, and other articles of food
can be obtained in the city by this quick
and Inexpensive method. Both the con-
sumner and the farmer in this country
would profit enormously by this plan.
In England the postoffce seems to be
conducted for the convenience Of the
the people. In the United States one Of
the main objects seems to be the emolu-
ment of the railroads and the protection
of the express company monopoly

REDUCES TAX PATE
King SpIit-Log Drag IS Partly
Credited With Low Rate Of
Tax In Rapho.

In an item appearing recently in the
newspapers of Lancaster it is stated that
the supervisors Of Rapho township when
they settled their financial accounts
year ago found balance Of over $500 on
hand after paying off all Indebtedness.
On the strength of this the tax rate. was
reduced from five to. three and half
mills. Notwithstanding this reduction in
income the auditors found at this years
settlement balance of $4,6Ie 44 in the
hands Of the treasurer. The tax rate was
again reduced and this years. tax was
levied on two and a. half mills basis.
This item attracted the attention Of a
gentleman who is interested in the road
question and not being able to see how
the supervisors could reduce their income
for roads when the demand for better
roads is stronger than ever sought the in
formation from one of the supervisors of
that township. He knew the King Split
log Drag had done much to improve the
roads at slight expense and believed that
the use of the ~drags methodically by
supervisors would lessen the expense of
road maintenance, SO in seeking informa-
tion he asked what part the drag had
taken in the lessened expense of road
maintenance in relationship. He learn
ed the board of supervisors is always ION
the job getting the best results for the
money expended. Stone is extensively
bought and delivered in the township,
but the inquirer was very much gratifed
TO learn that the King Split-log Drag had
contributed its share. The township has
twelve of the drags in use and pays thirty
cents an hour for operating them.
Wherever used they accomplished good
results and very materially lesseued the
cost Of maintenance of the portions or
sections of the roads on which they were
in continual use.
The agitation which has swept over
this section of the State IN the last year or
two, calling the attention of the super
visors, road master and farmers to the
King Drag is thus apparently bearing
fruit, and the experience had by the
supervisors of Rapho township as we'll as
other progressive supervisors should be
an object lesson for those in charge of
roads who have not as yet Investigated
the merits Of the King Drag. 1t has been
the experience Of the more progressive
supervisors that the use Of the drag on
earth roads produces roads as good as a
race track and materially reduces the cost
of maintenance, The good road being
cheaper than the poor road. AS a bust
ness proposition supervisors cannot afford
to neglect the use of the split-log drag,
and as good road maker Of the highest
merit its use on the roads should not be
longer delayed. Quarryville Sun.

NO REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATE CAN
AFFORD TO HANDICAP HIMSELF
BY A MONGREL TICKET.

Some of the political schemers of
Denver are trying to rig up ticket
composed in part of Republican can.
didates and In part of Democrats.
Such subterfuges are common
enough in political campaigns, and the
purpose of them is only known to
those concerned in their promotion.
They usually amount to very little
except that they serve to prejudice the
intelligent voter against the candidates
whose names appear upon these mixed
tickets
In the present case certainly no Re.
publican candidate should desire TO
have his name associated with that
OF John Shafroth upon ticket, aud
no Republican candidate can gain any
thing by such association.
The weakest point upon the Demo
cratic ticket is the candidate for gov.
ernor, because more than any one else
John Shafroth is typical of the policy
OF inefiiciency. extravaganza, promise
breaking and double dealing that has
been Characteristic OF the state ad
ministration in the past two years.
No Republican candidate can give
his consent to have his name placed
upon ticket with that of John Shat
roth without in some measure en-.
dorsing the Shafroth administration
and approving the Democratic claim
tci' two years more OF the saAn thing
Such consent would be disloyalty to
the Republican party on one side and
| assistance to the Democratic party on
the other; and over all 1t would be
the poorest possible political judg
ment
No Republican candidate can afford
to lend any portion of his own cloak
Of respectability to cover the present
shamelessness of Shafroth Democracy

out to sea at :05 and the first wire

AS the airship went into the air
parting cheer was given by persons
whose faith in the Wellman enterprise
has stood out against all attacks. The
trip was scheduled as trial. but the
statement of Chief Engineer Mavin
Vaniman that I'VE won't come back
until we have had try at Europe, is
taken to mean that the balloon will
not return unless some accident befalls
thea p or the crew is forced by some
adverse winds to come back.
The airship was out of sight al

sight OF the America and its crew was

The work of getting the America
from the hanger began at O'Clock.
Sixty police and firemen assisted Well
man and his crew in the task. The
removal was accomplished with less
trouble than had been anticipated
and within an hour the dirigible was
ready for the start Colonel Potter's
small motor yacht towed the ship a
few hundred feet necessary to reach
the waters edge. There are six men
on the airship. They are provided
with sufficient provisions to last a
month The only means of cooking is
small oil stove. but Mr.. Wellman
says it will do all they require.
When the airship had sailed about
400 feet from the shore it disappeared
in the fog. 1t is estimated the two
engines, which were working perfect
ly. were pushing the digible through
the air at the rate of twenty-six miles
an hour.
Walter Wellman, who is now in his
fifty-second year and has long been in
the public eye, especially on account
of the fiasco of his balloon trip to the
northpole. Wellman was born in Men
to, Ohio, Nov. 13, 1858 AS a boy he
ran weekly newspaper in Sutton,
Neb., and at the age of % established
the Cincinnati Post, now owned by
