TKIHEN the paint on your
wv property begins to check
and crack, it is time to paint
again. Unless your house is
projected by a smooth, elastic
film of durable paint, decay will
set in and rapidly depreciate ii.
Decay is expensive and waste
full. Price lumber alone, to get
an idea of what it VIII cost 10
repair or. rebuild. Paint saves
this cost.
The best paint is the most
economical in the long run. 1t
spreads easily-saves labor cost.
1t covers a larger area per gallon
than cheap" paint.
But, most important, the best
paint serves five or more years
longer than Cheap paint.
We have been making the best
paints for Is years. They are
scientific in formula and prepara-
ton. They meet the weather
conditions in the West.

Put OlT n TINE

The entire town Of Broadus was
placed in jeopardy by fire Tuesday aft
ernoon when an incipient blase 4 the

The rom was built to the rear Of
the drug store. Immediately adjoining

for coal and other purposes. 9. A. Holt.
proprietor Of the store. in the early
part Of the afternoon lighted q coal oil
stove in the room for the purpse of
disslving q bottle Of crystallised car.
bolic acid which he had placed in q
pan Of water over cne Of the burn-
ers. About half an hour later he went
to get the solution and was greeted
with a burst of flames 40 he opened
the door. The fire had started to creep
into the roof Of the main building.
Quicls action by Holt saved the build
ing and adjacent properly from de.
struction. He emptied the contents Of
two chemical hre extinguishers onto
the flames and procured two mere ex-
tinguishers from the Powder River
County bank. These extinguishers did
the work in quick order. instantly
squelching the IRE In the stove itself
and the flames throughout the room.

Roland. were asleep In the bedroom
Mr.. Holt is ut q loss to sccount for
the fire for many times before hs has

nearby points saved the steel bridge
across Little Powder river near the
Pemberton ranch from being washed
out while the river was at its height

Friday and Saturday, several automC-
bile loads of workers were rushed te'
the scene, carrying with them several
hundred empty sacks, axes and show
els. They worked like beavers. fell
ing cottonwood trees and throwing
trunks and branches into the washed
out place at the east approach to the
bridge. 1t Is estimated that fully 500
sacks of sand were dumped into the
washout and Osborn Pemberton sup
piled two racks of hay for the same
purpose. 1t was an emergency that
was promptly met for the water was
