The worst mistake one is likely to
make in painting is wrong paint; it is
easy to make.
We all say "Ours is the BEST" and
there are 1000 of us. One is best; but
a dozen are so near on a level that no.
one knows, for sure, that his is the
one.
The worst paints are worst liars
they know what they are, put-on bold
face and brazen it out.
Their one true argument is low
price; but low price paint is always
must be, fraud; it is made to cheat
cheatable people.

THE QUIET LIFE.

Abijah Jones, removed from strife,
Just revels In the quiet life.
He is content with simple fare,
And company is caviare.
He never will speak to a maid,
And of all women is afraid.
He thinks that travel is too dear,
And goes to town but once year.
At cock-crow he will rub his eyes,
And some time later will arise.
Along with chickens and hen,
A shoat or two within the pen,
A cow, a yellow dog and mule,
He cares not who the land may rule.
He knows not OF things that amuse,
And never once has read the news.
The worlds metropolis might sink
OF sleep he'd sever lose wink.
Volcanoes spouting liquid fire,
Earthquakes with consequences dire,
Elections, wars and mighty haps-
For these he does not care two raps.
He owns two acres and a shack,
And with his work is always slack.
He'll putter round when weather lets,
And when it rains he sets an SETS"
His grub would wreck bill of fare,
Aad some would list it as hardware.
The rules of health to him are Greek,
But doctors he needs never seek.
Such life the hygienists mocks,
But there you have the paradox!

APPREHENSION FELT FOR MANY OF THE 45,ooo OLD SOLDIERS
 AT GETTYSBURG.
2 COMMANDERS ON GROUND
Survivors Pay Little Attention to Doc tors, and Go About Flight ing" Engagement Over
 Again.

Gettysburg, Pa, July 1,-The for nal celebration of the fiftieth anniver- sary of the battle of Gettysburg be- gins today, to last until Friday, when it will culminate in patriotic rally eclipsing anything ever held in this country and marked by the presence of the president of the United States.
 The day was one of enjoyment, and the blue and gray-clad soldiers of a past generation fraternized over bot ties of "pop" and tramped from booth to booth reviewing the two-headed COW, the elephantine fat woman and the hundred-and- odd attractions famil- lar to the summer resort midway
 There was warmth in the air that caused worry to the medical officers on whose shoulders rest the care of the 45,000 aged veterans. There were no clouds to temper the torridity of the midsummer sun, but the veterans accepted the situation without com- plaint.
 And despite the exhortations of the first aid" men to refrain from drink ing any of the fearful and wonderful connections sold so freely everywhere outside the camp reservations. the visiting hosts simply suited their own convenience and drank when they were thirsty" And the drinks seemed to do little harm.
 Gen. Bennett Young of Louisville, Ky, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, arrived with his staff and was escorted to his head quarters by an impromptu procession of Union and Confederate veterans, who did their best to show by their enthusiastic greeting that they real ized what this visit meant
The Prescott daily news., 1913-07-01

The commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., Gen. Alfred B. Beers of Bridge port, Conn, was on the ground, and for the remainder of the week the two ranking officials will be the mos( prominent figures in the celebration.
 Only two hours each day are to be devoted to the formal exercises in the big tent which has been erected just off the Emmettsburg road. The of ficials realize that because of the ex- treme age of most of those here it would be hardship to lengthen the program. So for the greater part of the time the veterans will be permit ted to go as they please and fight the war over again in their own pie turesque manner
 The first formal function occurred when the few remaining survivors of Joe" Wheelers cavalry division and of Buford Union cavalrymen gathered in the headquarters tent. Veteran residents of Gettysburg and the pres ent town officials were their guests. It was a reception designed as a be- lated acknowledgment of courtesies extended by the townspeople when the troopers rode into Gettysburg half century ago.
 The fact that two veterans have died since the camp was opened and that the heat prostrations number nearly 90 has not lessened the spirit or enthusiasm of the veterans It is part of the fortunes of war. The dead are honored, of course. There is no callousness in the veterans atti- tude, but there hardly Is a survivor of the great conflict here who does not feel that at their present age death is to be expected and that coming here, surrounded by the friends and com rades of 50 years ago, it is robbed of much of its terror.
 The two veterans who died were A. D. Brown of Livermore Falls. Me, and J. H. Reynolds of Port Chester, N. Y. both Union veterans. In both cases intense heat was a contributing cause. The bodies were sent home.

EVIL THINGS DONE BY N. A. M. THROUGH ITS
 AGENTS AND LOBBY

Seventy five pages in the House of Representatives acted as spies for the lobby under the direction of their chief, who was in the lobbys pay.
 Col. Mulhall spent $2OO,O00 in lobby work, atrikebreaking and bribing voters in political campaigns for the National Association of Manufac- turers.
 Under orders he helped re-elect legislative friends of the association and fought Congressmen who were on its black list"
 He made payments of money to legislators who voted on bills as the association dictated.
 For the N. A. M. he bought minor labor leaders and sought to enlist the aid of clergymen in wage con- troversies.
 An agent of the N. A. NJ. plotted ton of Labor by bribing it's leading officers, and particularly Samuel Gompers.
 Standard oil down paid tribute to the N. A. M.
 The lobby had a room in the Capi- tol and made free use of congress- ional documents.
 The N. A. M. enlisted the aid of Gov. Fort in its attack on Represent ative Gardner, who later surrendered and became it's servitor.
 It allowed Congressman James E. Watson S250 a week for expenses while he was working for the estab- lishment of the trust commission.

 Bulletin Labor News"
 delightful insight into the brazen- ness of the lobby is revealed in "con- fidential bulletin of labor news" is. sued under date of New York, August 20, 1909, and signed Marshall Cush- ing" It sets forth the estimate placed by the association on the individual members of the house committee on labor, then in charge of the eight-hour labor law. It follows:
 T. Gardner, Atlantic City, N. J.; lawyer, old chairman, author of bill referred to subcommittee of lawyers of last committee to report as to con- stitutionality; never reported; usual plurality, 10,500, cut to 3,400 last elec- tion, owing to united opposition of unions (mostly glass workers dissat- isfed that he did not report and pass his bill and of business interests, ex- pressed through out committee at home and in Washington, that he in- troduced and tried to report it.
 "2 Bartholdt, St. Louis, Mo, news paper man; plurality, 20,493; all right all the time.
 "3 Vreeland, Salamanca, N Y. (Chautauqua district); banker; plu- rality, 16,609; has always. led opposi- tion to bill in committee; absolutely all right.
 "4 Madison, Dodge City, Kan; plu- rality, 4,S55; has always voted against bill, but agitated (with Townsend, Mich.) last session for anti-injunction legislation; Kansas City Employers association cooperating.
 "5 Allen, Alfred E., Portland dis trict; lawyer; plurality, 9,272; new member of committed; local record rather friendly to labor: retires at end of this congress; believed to be all right; local organizations and in- fuences cooperating.
 "6 Taylor, Columbus, O., lawyer; plurality, 6,670; new member; no na- tional record; believed to be all right; Columbus Industrial association CO., operating.
 q. Smith, Bakersfield, Cal, lawyer; plurality, 11,000; new member; no record; strong state organizations CO., operating; probably all right.
 IS. Hawley, Salem, Ore; plurality, 1704S professor of. economics and lawyer; no record, but probably all right; strong state organizations CO., operating.
 Democrats all lawyers, friendly to eight-hour bill, reappointed: Rainey Qn), Hughes (N. Y), Nichols (Pa), late vice-president United Mine Work CTS.
 Floyd (Ark.) and Covington (Md), new members: no records. but prob ably friendly to eight-hour legislation

on party grounds"
 Out of a large number of McMi- chael's notes one can be chosen for quotation to indicate the meaning of this method of espionage. One early day in May, 1910, McMichael wrote:
 "The sundry civil bill now before the house on page 116, at the end of bill on page 1S4 I will look after the end of keeping the other side away"
 Scheme to Defeat Bill.
 This is neither signed nor addressed nor dated, but is on the letterhead of the house of representatives It re- ferred graphically to a scheme fathered by the lobbyists of the N A. M. to de- feat the sundry civil bill The scheme was to keep up persistent and pro- tracted debate on the reading of the bill and to thus induce as many Dem- ocrats as possible to remain from the house with the idea that the bill would not come to vote until it had been entirely read and debated upon. At the same time it was agreed that when the reading reached page 1S4 that vote would be called for and that then while the Democrats were inno- gently absent, the Republicans would be hastily convened, the vote called and the measure defeated. Incidental ly, it is interesting to note that these tactics were successful. The bill was defeated in exactly the manner out lined in McMichael's note.
 Admits He Was Paid.
 James E. Watson, Republican house leader, and former congressman, ad- mitted that he received money from the National Association of Manufac- turers for working in behalf of tariff commission at the special session of 1909, as charged by Col. M. M Mul- hall in New York. He denied, how ever that the manufacturers associa- tion contributed to his campaign fund in 1908, when he ran for governor of Indiana.
