DID you ever sit around outside
your house on a Sunday after
noon, or of an evening, maybe,
and watch the paint, and see it
90, when it ought to be holding
on tight?
Some paints are so poor that you can almost
see them as they dry out, and crumble, and
powder, and blow away.
Why do they do this? Why does this happen?
Something the matter with the materials-too
much lead, maybe, or poor oil, or not
scientifically ground and mixed-might have
been good materials but not balanced right
for wear.
AT th' store we make it our business to KNOW what
paint will wear because it pays us to handle the kind
that pays you. And that's why we handle MOUND

THE TWO GREAT THINGS
TO DO.

There are two great things to
do. One is to set up the rule Of
justice and Of right in such mat
ters as the tariff. the regulation
Of the trusts and the prevention
Of monopoly, the adaptation Of
our banking and currency laws
to the varied uses to which our
people must put them, the treat
ment of those who do the daily
|, labor In u factories and mines
!, and throughout all our great In
! dustrial and commercial under
!, takings and the political life Of
, the people Of the Philippines,
/, for whom we hold governmental
, power in trust, for their service,
, not our own. The other, the ad-
, ditional duty, Is the great task
, Of protecting our people and our
, resources and Of keeping open
, to the whole people the doors Of
, opportunity through which they
J must, generation by generation,
I pass If they are to make con
! quest of their fortunes in health,
, in freedom, in peace and in con-

s Of this second great duty we are

JOHN A. DIX, GOVERNOR OF
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Governor Wilson's speech OF
acceptance is marked with
broad vision and clear thought,
expressed in language every
American can understand. As a
business man and manufacture
err, | am especially pleased with
his positive and statesmanlike
position on the paramount Is
sue Of tariff reform. and his de-
mand for an immediate down
ward revision. In sincerity,
precise statement and compre-
hensiVe grasp OF great princi-
pies and their application Of
the fundamental needs of the
country, the speech is Je1er-
sonian to the core. 1t contains
no appeal to passion and ex-
cites no prejudice. Governor
Wilson has presented to his
party and to the nation, clear
conception Of the truth that
the real struggle in the pending
campaign is between the con-
centrated powers Of privilege
and the aspiration of the Amer
lean people to realize, in their
government, and their econom-
ic, industrial and social rela-
tons, the full measures OF the
principles of freedom, justice
and progress upon which the
republic was founded. To all
the issues and every national
need, Governor Wilson applies
the Rule of right and common
advantage The reforms he ad-
vocates are far reaching, but
they are necessary, sound and
practical. The speech will
awaken and stir the national
conscience and lead to a tri-
umph that will restore to the
people the control OF their gov
eminent and inaugurate a new
and happier epoch in the land and
development of the republic"

Governor Wilson's speech Of

a twentieth century statesman;

nizes the evils from which the

the way by which these evils
may be removed and the dan

LABOR AND THE RULE OF
RIGHT.

The working people Of Amer
ica-if they must be dis
tinguished from the minority
that constitutes the rest Of it
are, of course, the backbone of
the nation. No law that safe
guards their life, that improves
the physical and moral condi-
tons under which they live,
that makes their hours of labor
rational and tolerable, that
gives them freedom to act in
their own interest and that pro
tects them where they cannot
protect themselves, can properly
be regarded as class legislation
or as anything but as a measure
taken In the interest Of the
whole people, whose partnership
in right action we are trying to
establish and make real and
practical. 1t is In this spirit
that we shall act II we are gen

Methodist Orchestra Gives
Excellent Entertainment

The concert given at the M. E.
church last Thursday evening,
under the auspices of the Metho-
dist church orchestra, was splen-
did success in every number of the
long program, and was pronounced
by many as equal, if not superior,
to the majority of professional
musical entertainments that have
been given in this city.
The program was opened by the
Methodist Orchestra, playing The
Bohemian Girl by Balfe. This
was followed by clarinet solo by
Fred Pratt, with Miss Rosetta
Schroeder at the piano. Miss Eu-
genie Willett then delighted the
audience with vocal selections, M.
A. Shepard playing the piano ac-
compartments. DR.. C. A. Dawson
gave pleasing rendition of The
Commodore Polka" on the cornet.
A selection by the Mixed Quartette,
Hail to the Dawn" closed the
first part of the program.
The orchestra opened the second part
of the program with THE Spring
Maid" by Reinhardt. Fred Pratt
and Carl Miller rendered a Bellini
clarinet duet. Mrs. Geo. B. Skog-
mo sang Dear Little Star" M. A.
Shepard playing the accompani-
ment. John Howard, with Miss
Lucille L. Aldridge accompanist,
gave violin selections from Bohm
and Alard. The orchestra closed
the program with America.
All of the selections were heart
lily encored. The assistance of H.
F. Doolittle, with his traps, was
greatly appreciated, filling out the
orchestra in fine shape. Mr.. Doc
little has assembled his traps with
excellent judgement in quality and
tone, and he is an expert in hand
ling them. In securing John How
ard to assist the orchestra and to
appear on the program in solo work
the management made selection
that always meets the heartiest APP
proval of River Falls audiences.
All who attended the entertain
ment hope to have the privilege of
hearing the same talent again in
another program of similar nature.

AUTOMOBILE JUDGMENT

Advertising is usually planned to
give pleasing impression so that
the article will occupy pleasant or
favorable position in the mind, but
things demonstrated by mathe-
MATES are not usually set forth in
attractive, catchy wording.
If you are interested in a motor
car it is a good policy to give lit
tie time to the things that are ma
thematical problems. II is as es-
sential for a person to figure the
value of a car that he is buying as
it is to figure the value of the wheat
or potatoes he is selling. The sales
man is no more likely to look out
for your interests than the buyer of
wheat and potatoes. Why not put
the car to the test the same as the
cream is tested by the buyerP
If the newspapers unite in trying
to kill off a prominent public man
and his influence increases, we be-
gin to think that the editors are
irving TO mislead us. If we select
our best mechanic or workman and
send him into a shop where all
workmen belong to labor organic
alton and all cry out against him we
realize the cause and take it for
what it is worth.
Until this year most all cars were
built by license under the Sheldon
patents and they were known as the
Licensed Automobile Association"
but the patents have expired, the
license is no longer required and
the association has changed its
name to the Association of Auto
mobile Engineers. The associa-
ton exists and about the only car
outside the association is the Ford.
Hence the Ford is the competent
workman that the organization is
trying to kill.
Place all the cars manufactured
together and you will see that the
Ford is a type in itself and all the
others form the other type of con-
struction. II is almost necessary to

horse power $500 pound Ford for
$725.00. The tire cost for the 5000
pound car would be more than twice
as much as for the light Ford. Up
keep would be more than double for
the heavy car. There would be a
lot OF the $4,000 miles run at night
and the heavy car would have big
headlight bill while the Ford fur
nishese lectric head lights free, from

years to run the $4,000 miles and B
would be entitled to interest on his
money saved. II would be nearer
right to say that AS expense would
be cents a mile and his total ex-
pense would be $3.50 90 and BIS
total expense would not exceed
$1975.00 and he would have in the
bank to car account, $3275.00.
Aside from the money question,
if AS expense for upkeep is twice
as much as BIS, his trouble is twice
as much. What service did A get
that B did not get as we'll or better?
One more comparison should be
added. All competitors should be
considered, so compare the horses
expense with AS and BIS expense.
Three hours day the year around
is a good average for farm horse.
Say that the team averages 20 miles
in this three hours. That would
take about 80 years to make the
$4,000 miles or the life of at least
three teams at say $500 90 each or
$1250.00, then add the cost of horse
shoeing, harnesses, buggies, oats,
hay and incidentals for thirty years
and even A has you beaten for
economy. The horse expense is be-
ing figured more and more every
day as against the auto and that
helps the auto sales.

years of his life driving a team
