For some time past Venango coun
ty autoists have had trouble in having
their machine tires punctured while

The Deibel Oil Co., whose farm and
oil pro; erty Is located about three miles
out from Tidioute, and wbich Is composed
principally of Tionesta citizens, namely,
J. W. Landers. W. G. Wyman, G. G.
Gaston and Daniel Walters, produces not
only a good deal of premium oil, but
raises considerable valuable stock. Last
week they sold a team of colts, aged four

The following ruling has been handed
down by Judge Crlswell, of Venango
county, "Each supervisor in the several
townships of this commonwealth shall be
allowed, in the settlement of his accounts,
the sum of f 1.50 for each day he shall be
necessarily employed in tbe discharge of
the duties of his office." Tbe impression
bas prevailed that supervisors are not en
titled to compensation for services under
tbe new road law, aud this decision was
handed down In a test case. The ruling
Is good common sense and decency com
bined. No man fit to be supervisor
should be expected to give up his time
for nothing.
The experiment at propagating tbe
quail in tbis vicinity has proved to be a
success. Last year Charles L. Smith and

birds and to post their lands against
hunters. Reports have been received
that indicate that all of the pairs of quail
have bred and haye multiplied. Derrick.
The propagation of quail In this section Is
not an experiment. If we could always
have such open, mild winters as the past
one was, the woods would be full of them
in a short time. But a hard winter with
the ground covered heavily with snow
for two or three months Is bound to ex
terminate the gamy little birds.

After Many Years.
A dispatch from Uarrisburg, Pa,, under
date of May 0th, says: A corporation
that did business for 41 years without re
ceiving letters patent was discovered at
the Auditor General's department yester
day. Tbe company is the Tidioute-Warren
Oil Company, chartered by the act of
the Legislature in 18G7. For some un
known reason it did not take out letters.
Tbe company made money in Warren
county. Recently some experiments
allowed that there was oil at greater
depths and new drilling was started.
Tbe company, which was dormant, was
revived, one of the original members and
owners of stock, being found iu Boston.
It is now In operation and the state au
thorities upon Investigation found that it
had been in existence for years, put had
never paid any state tax. It has now re
ceived letters patent and the question
whether It is liable for back taxes will be
referred by Auditor General Young's de
partment to the Attorney General.

Dear Sirs: The wear of paint goes by
gallons; tbe less-gallons paint wears
longest. Tbe reason, of course, is its
strength. It takes less gallons, pecause
it is strong; it wears a long time, because
it is strong. It is all-paint and the
strongest paint.
There is a best paint among allpaint
paints. No two are alike, of course; no
two cover alike or wear alike. One is
(bin, another js thick; one has too much
lead, anothor to much zinc, another is
right. The right is Devoe, so far as is
yet known. Perhaps somebody-else will
find-out a better paint than Devoe; then
Devoe will become a more-gallons paint,
a costlier paint, a weaker paint, a less
durable paint, a less-economical paiut, a
timid paint.
Bigger changes than that have come
over the world. Devoe has the lead; why
shouldn't we lose It to somebodyelse?
Yours truly,
