—ln preparing yonr advertising you
often find it harder to make a selection
than a collection of points. The effec
tiveness of what you say lies more in
wise selection than in the mere getting
together of the raw material. An over
staffed ad is aboat as uninteresting as
an over stuffed man. To say the right
thing and stop iH worth money to an
advertiser.

took first premium at the poultry show
of last winter, and we call attention to
hie advertisement in another column.
When you visit Bntler see Ritter &
Rockenstein's about that new suit.

NOTES.
The court last Thursday heard the
petition to have a sum of about $621,
alleged to be due the poor fund from
Collector Maxwell, included in the
statement filed with the attorneys who
entered the bond of the collector. It

the legal questions involved require
considerable attention. The county
claims the money is due, while the
other side claims the audit did not show
it and that the report of the auditors
was final.

In the matter of enforcing the laws
and punishing criminals, the "expense
to the county" should never be consider
ed. Any official who thinks it good
economy to let criminals off easy be
cause of the expense has a very poor
conception of his duties and very sloven
ly ideas about the administration of
justice. The incst economical plan is
to deal so rigorously with the criminal
classes as to stop their career at once
and terrify others Laxity in execut
ing the laws is the most expensive
policy that could be pursned. A justice
of the peace who fails to do his duty on
the ground that he is saving the county
a bill of costs, or any other person con
nected with the enforcement of the laws
who takes the matter of expense into
consideration, is foolishly and blindly
doing that which in the end is most
extravagant. Officials generally, in
cluding jurymen, should remember
that they are not economists, charged
with the duty of keeping down ex
penses. but law-abiding and jnstice-lov
ing citizens whose duty it is to uphold
the majesty of the law at all hazards.—

Letter to Butler Brick & Tile Co.
Butler, Pa.
Dear Sirs; We know what the paints
are all made-of, you know; we have to.
In Wilson, NC, are two dealers. One
of 'em thinks he can't sell paint for more
than $1 a gallon; the other won't have
such stuff in bis store—sells Devoe lead
and-zinc, of course.
The $1 paint is adulterated 76 per
cent; Devoe is all lead and zinc and
linseed oil, with as little good dtyer as
possible. A gallon Devoe has in it a
little more paint than four gallons of
the other. A gallon Devoe will cover
as much as four of the other. Who
wants to pay wages for painting four
gallons for one?
How much is Dt-voe lead-and-zinc
worth in that town 7
Yonn truly,
