LETTER TO NEWPORT BUILD
ERS’ SUPPLY & HARD
WARE CO. NEWPORT, ARK.
Gentlemen: Shuffert Hard
ware Co., Hickory, N. C.,
bought a car load of paint; after
selling it a few months, found
out it measured seven pints a
“gallon.”
Returned it to the maker and
credited customers with what
they had lost from short meas
ure.
What do you think of a short
measure paint? Don’t you think
it half whitewash? Half the
paints are part whitewash.
Go by the name: Devoe lead
and-zinc. No whiting or clay in
that; full-measure besides. A
gallon Devoe is worth two of
whitewash paint. Yours truly
F. W. Devoe & Co.,

DEATH RELIEVES
LITTLE FELLOW.
Little Harry Pierson, the only
son of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Pier
son, who was so frightfully in
jured Saturday at noon, died
that evening about 6 o’clock.
The injured limbs were never
amputated, as the little fellow
could never have stood the shock.
Lacking three months of reach
ing his sixth year, death came
as a relief from suffering and
permanent injuries that would
have made him ever dependent.
To the bereaved parents the sym
pathy of our people is extended.

ARE YOU SURE YOU OWE IT?
You have had bills presented that you thought you
had paid, or for goods you know you had never
bought. Nobody but a Bill Collector realizes the .
number of disputed bills there are the first of tne
month. Of course, it’s somebody’s mistake. Goods j
are often charged to the wrong customers; the mer
chant failed to credit your account when you paid
him. No matter what the reason, you don’t like to
have these things occur. Just try the Cash Plan in
the future and avoid all the objectionable features of
the. credit business.
You pay a big interest for all che “accommoda
tions” you get at the credit stores. Even when you
pay cash at a store doing a credit business, you
have to pay Credit Prices. The merchant charges
the losses from “bad accounts” to his cash cus
tomers by doubling his profits. That’s the only way
he can keep even. It pays to pay Cash.

SNAKE RIVER VALLEY.
The largest irrigation enter
prise in America is located in the
rich Snake River valley of Idaho,
which has been reclaimed
through man’s handi-work'alone.
In this valley which is now com
fortably settled, there remains
270,000 acres of land belonging
to the state of Idaho, which is
under the Twin Falls irrigation
canals and open to settlement.
This land is among the richest in
America, as experiments have
proved. Potatoes here yield 200
to 400 bushels to the acre of
large size and fine variety. Wheat |
yields from 40 to 70 bushels to j
the acre with an average weight!
of 63 pounds per bushel. Three
crops of alfalfa are raised each j
season in the Snake River valley, j
The climate is superb and of i
Treat value as a tonic for mind j
md body. Home-seekers’ low
I ' j
j rates to the Snake River valley
! are in effect via Union Pacific, ;
j the only direct route. Why not l
I visit this district in person and |
j fully realize its great possibili
ties? For full information ad

KEYSTONE OF
\
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The sale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect 1
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a second. Not ail piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reached the goal,
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correttly—it’s worBe because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it coBts more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, qualify considered
The Kimball system and easy payment plan brings it within reach of alb
