Paint Folly

Folly to put-off painting when
paint is high, and folly to use
cheap" paint.
Your buildings are worth
you say how much. If you
don't paint them, how much less
will they be worth in a year?
It will cost more to paint next
year; it will take more paint at
about s. a gallon for paint and
labor.
How much is the cost Of paint
by the year?
Depends on the paint. An
average job is 5000 square feet,
10 gallons Devoe: $2.25 a gal
lon for paint and $3.50 a day
($2. so a gallon tool for painting:
.A.75 a gallon: $47.5O. How
long will it last? Depends on
the owner: say 5 years; and your
cost for Devoe is $3.50 a year.
Cheap" paint, S1.75 a gallon,
takes Is gallons, labor the same
$3.50 a day or gallon: &.25 a
gallon: Is gallons $6S.75. Say
it lasts 2 years; it isn't sure two
years; it isn't sure at all.

DR.. Harris, the roll was called for both
the senate and house, which is a pro-
cedure performed only at the election
of United States senators.
The clerk of the senate officially an
nounced the vote of that body taken
yesterday, which resulted in forty-two
for both Senator McCumber and Sena-
tor-elect Gronna, and five each for
both Senator Purcell and Mr.. Bruegger
with two not voting on account Of abb
sence.
Then the clerk of the house announc-
ed the official vote of the house of

Legislative Proceedings

Purcell, were received with much en-
thusiasm by the members of both par
ties. Representative Gardner, the first
to be heard, made brilliant talk when
ne offered the name of Senator elect
Gronna. All the efforts were Of a high
order and publicly commended.
In speaking of Senator McCumber,
Mr.. streeter said in part: He was a
man who came to the northwest in
the early days and has grown up with
it. At no time has he turned away
from the west. In territorial days
when the capitol removal ghost stalk
ed about, Mr.. McCumber was in the
fight for North Dakota. In public life
at washington as pursued his
course according = $ own best con-
victions' -
Mr. Gardiner, In ssenting Con-
gresham Gronna's u said: "The

enabled during the last fe z Nars to

Mr. Doyle's plea for Senator Pur-
cells election was a strong one. He
paid many compliments to Wahpetons
distinguished citizen who has filled one
of North Dakota's senatorial chairs for
the last year. In his peroration he
said: Mr.. Purcell represents the
highest degree Of North Dakota cit
zenship, and that means the highest
degree Of American citizenship"
Following the election the regular
work of the house was exceedingly
brief. After the reading of the bills
that were introduced, the agricultural
committee reported that H. B. 26,
which related to the construction of
drains into public bitches and onto de-
pressions in public lands, be passed
and the report adopted.
From the senate was received q con-
current resolution to set aside Feb. 10,
the birthday of Lincoln, to be observed
in joint session of the legislature and
that Smith Stimmel of Casselton be
asked to deliver the address on that
date. The resolution was concurred
in.
A communication was received from
