Letter to John Drummond, Greenwood, Wis.

Dear Sir: As a public officer, charged with the care of public school property, you are interested in good paint.

The high school building at Sioux Rapids, Ia., was painted, inside and out, last summer. The painter said 70 gallons were needed; and that quantity of Devoe lead-and-zinc paint was ordered. The estimate was carefully made, but ten gallons were returned.

Maybe some of the pupils in your school can figure out what the percent of saving was on Devoe.

Yours truly - F. W. Devoe & Co., New York and Chicago.

P.S. - C. C. Hoehne sells our paint.

MAKING HOUSEWORK MORE EASY

Better If Women Would Sit More at Their Daily Tasks.

"Women don’t sit enough to their kitchen work," reclared the elderly housewife. "There’s a heap of ills and ailments that could be avoided by using just a little common sense. Now, no woman would think of sewing or darning while standing up, yet they do equally foolish things in the kitchen.

"Take peeling potatoes or other vegetables, for instance. The majority of women stand near the sink for such work, whereas they could do it equally as well by sitting down. How many do you see beating eggs while sitting down? Precious few, I’ll warrant. They stand when mixing dough for pastry or biscuits; after the dishes are washed they stand up to dry them when it’s just as easy to sit down. There’s a hundred little things to be done while preparing meals and which are just as easy to do while sitting as standing. Then, when the day’s work is done, they flop into an easy chair and wail about how tired they are. There’s a chair in nearly every kitchen but it’s mostly used for standing on to get things from the shelves. Sit down more, I tell you, and you won’t have that tired feeling so much."

BOUND TO BEAT

At the junction of two highways in a certain county in Iowa I found the directions on the guideboard all faded out, and, noticing a farmer at work in his field I hitched the horse and went over to him and asked:

"Will you kindly tell me how far it is to Painsville?"

"Have you asked anyone else?" queried the farmer, as he leaned on his hoe.

"Yes, I asked a man back here about a mile."

"Was his name Bill Scovel?"

"Yes, I think it was."

"What’d he say?"

"I understood him to say that it was nine miles."

"Well, then, it’s ‘leven."

I took his word for it and went on, but found the distance only seven miles. Returning that way next day, I encountered the farmer mowing weeds along the highway and said:

"Why did you tell me yesterday that it was eleven miles to Painsville? You must have known that it was only seven."

"Bill Scovel told you nine, didn’t he?"

"Yes."

"Wall, Bill Scovel thinks he’s the biggest liar around here, and I told you ‘leven to show him that he’d got a hard man to beat when he set out to git the best of Jim Watson." - Baltimore American.
