FORTUNE FOR SIGN PAINTERS
Engineers Have Searched Long for
Man Believed to Possess Most
Valuable Secret.

The living worth of good work is al
ways recognized, even in small things.
Sign painters do not usually achieve
wealth or fame, yet, it is declared,
fortune awaits the man who painted
sign at Harper's Ferry, on the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad, shortly after
the completion of the line at that
point.
For years the engineers have been
trying to ascertain who mixed the
paint and applied it TO the sign, which
was placed in position at the Harper
Ferry station many years ago. The
summers heat and winters storms
have in no way dimmed the luster OF
the paint used to make the words
"Harper's Ferry" They stand out as
boldly as the day they were formed by
the artists brush.
The wood around the letters has
been worn about One-sixteenth OF an
inch by sand beaten against II by
fierce winds, but the letters have with
stood the elements.
1t is asserted that no paint manu-
featured nowadays is equal in dura-
bility to that which was applied to
the old sign, and If the person VINO
mixed it is still living and will take
advantage of the secret he possesses
as to its composition it is said he can
by engaging in the paint-manufactur-
ing business, soon accumulate wealth

hogs, the aggregate value of which is
estimated at 23,sO9,421 pesos. The
colonists not only cultivate the soil,
but raise stock as we'll The impor-
lance of the stock industry of Tres Ar
royos is very great, and this industry
is one of the principal factors in the
commercial life and prosperity of that
section.
Commerce in Cereals.
A number of large houses of Buenos
Aires maintain branches in Tres Ar
royOs. The commerce in cereals Of
the Tres ArroyOS and tributary dis
tricts aggregate annually from $780,
600 to 100000 tons. OF the 10000
tons of wheat produced in the district,
10000 tons are sold IL the grain, and
10000 are used by millers and for seed
purposes. Of the oats 10000 tons are
sold and 10000 used for seeds.
The Southern railway penetrates
this district, and at all of its stations
there are large grain elevators. The
city of Tres Arroyos is abundantly
supplied with grain elevators and
warehouses. The Southern railway
was opened to traffic in that city in
1885.
In this section of the country there
are numerous small farms, the value
of the land varying from $50 to 800
pesos per hectare. The annual rental
of agricultural land is from Is to 20
pesos per hectare.
Community aid centers have been
organized in the principal towns OF
the district. Tres ArrOyos has the
Spanish, Italian, French, Danish, and
cosmopolitan clubs, nearly all of which
occupy their own buildings. There is
also social club which has fine
building. The Spanish and Italian
clubs have splendid edifices and many
members.
The city is also provided with O
library, has a charitable society, and
home for poor children. The build
ing in which the latter institution is
| housed cost upward of 10000 pesos

LUCKILY He WAS RETURNING
Looking on the Bright Side, Physi-
clans Auto Did Run Until He
Had Seen Patient.

Probably every autoist has at some
time or other tried to run his automo-
bile without gasoline. It's all right
for joy rider, but hard on a physi-
clan, as DIR. e. Hawkins, of Green
castle, can testify.
A few nights ago DR.. Hawkins had
midnight call west of the city.
While returning home and on lonely
stretch of road, his auto gave cough,
another cough and died in the mid
die of the road. Not until then did
the doctor think of his empty gas tank.
1t was too late. He walked mile to
the nearest farm house, reused
sleepy but obliging farmer, borrowed
gallon of gasoline and walked
mile back to the auto. He poured the
gas in the tank and expected soon to
be home, but he was doomed to dis
appointment. He had the carburetor
set for a "high test" gas and the COM
mon fuel refused to respond.
After repeated efforts and adjust
ments. DIR. Hawkins got the motor
started, but in the meantime he had
used most of the gallon of gasoline
and when he started for home, the car
soon went dead again. Then another
long walk and the rousing Of another
sleepy farmer to get to telephone
and the doctor had help sent out from
local garage. He got home, but not
until in the wee small hours of the
morning and with the old saying
never again" firmly impressed on his
mind.-Indianapolis News.
