Tberejrfr bill before the legislature
known A3 the Nurse Registration bill,
which ttlould be put promptly to sleep.
It provlles for the registration of nurses
before jney can enter upon their duties as
such, and places the matter In the bands
of a few nurses who may accept or reject
applicants for registry. In other words
the bill seeks to create a nurse monopoly.
A schedule of rates is provided in the
bill, which practically puts the question
of nurse hire out ol the reach of those lu
ordinary circumstances. Surely the leg
islature has belter sense than to impose
such a measure on the people.
A note from a friend at Arrow, Som

with Asa Barnaby as sawyer, and James
Beatty (formerly of this county) as fllei
on the gang. This beats the largest cut
flFer made on the mill by 250 logs. On
the same day the long side also made a
big cut of 24-foot logs, the output being
over 140,000. Floyd Footer was the saw
yer and Webster W, Underwood filer. I
tell you here is where they cut the lum
ber with a successful superintendent,

Letter to L. J. Hopkins,
Tioncntit, i'tt.
Dkak Sir: It is a great thing for a
merchant to have the exclusive sale (In
his region, of course) of anything wanted
by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such goods.
Oue is: put the price up and make big
profit. The other way is be fair and
make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least gal
lons and costs least money a house, a
job, a year, a lifetime no matter how
you reckou your. costs, axcept by tho
gallou Dovoo is tho best euro-taker and
costs least money.
Don't forgot that the priuciiml part of
the cost of paint is putting it on. Losm
gallons, less cost. Don't forgot that an
other principal part of economy is long
wear; less gallons, less cost and long
wear.
It is a groat thiug to have the exclusive
sale of popular goods, of goodti that make
friends, of goods that enrich both buynr
and seller. Devoe Is perhaps only ton
per cent, better than one or two others;
but ten is a plenty It's 200 or 300 better
than many.
There's many a merchant who hasn't
found-out his goods. It doesn't take a
man long to find-out that Devoe is the
least-money paint and why, no matter
which side he is on.
Yours truly,
