Paint I?

There are two good reasons for paint
ing often-enough or even too.often
One, to look prosperous; two, TO be so.
Nothing does one more credit or
gives one more credit than paint, sup.
plemented of course by what goes with
II; and paint costs nothing.
True, the first cost is So or So gall
Ion put-on; but IL saves more than that
in the property; saves 1t from slow go
ing down--not always slow-it drops
with jump when water gets in on
wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing,
kept dry by paint.
Better paint when IL needs 1t. Paint
never goes-down in the sense of being
more profitable next year.

President Wilson Passes Almost
Entire Day Working on Natter
Huerta's Seeming Defiance Tax
es Diplomacy to the Utmost.
Relations Between Mexico and The United States Are
Strained--AWait Washington's Action, Today.

Washington. Nov. 9.-Fpregoing his
usual custom of banishing official bus
mess, on Sunday. President Wilson
worked practically all the whole day
on the Mexican problem. He did not
go to church, remaining indoors, dur
ing the forenoon. Later he summon
ed Senator Borah and McCumber Re
publican members of the Senate for
eign relations committee and spent,
nearly two hours. with them in a gen
eral discussion of the situation. To-
night, the President conferred at
length with Secretary Bryan.
From the way the Presidents call
ers talked, the situation is rapidly
approaching a climax and some def
mite developments are expected imme-
diately. Officially no copy of the state
ment of Provisional President Huerta
to the diplomatic corps, last night,
had been received nor had the form
al reply to the American demand that
Huerta resign arrived. That the Unit
ed States had given Huerta until to-
morrow night to reply before max
ing the next move was the general be-
lief in official circles. The next step

have talked with the President, with

summoning members of the Senate
foreign relations committee, probably

ed States, not only reiterating its re-
fusal to recognize the Hnerta gov
ernment, but making it clear to the
world that it also shall refuse to rec
ognize any acts of the new Congress
soon to be convened by Hnerta. The
Washington government, it is UNDER
stood, will not undertake to guaran-
tee any business or commercial rela-
tons with the Huerta regime and will
III all probability stand by any legal
~ constituted government which in
the future may repudiate the loans
or transactions of the present govern
ment
Both Senators McCumter and Rorah
declined to talk of what the President
had told them in their conference, to-
day, but they expressed their own
views later. Senator Borah told the
President that in his opinion even
should Huerta accede to the American
request for his resignation at this
time. there would be no responsible
person or persons to establish gov
eminent in his place.
The Idaho senator suggested that if
the embargo on arms was lifted the
Censtitutionalists probably could get
possession of the reins of government
in Mexico City in about 80 days and
that the United States ought to give
them an opportunity to establish
themselves. He believes the United
States might consider steps when they
arise. Senator McCumber believes
the embargo on arms should be raised
but realizes the position of the Presi-
dent. he said, in being unwilling to
sent munitions of war into the re-
bellion torn republic which might add
