the University of Arkansas; Mrs.
Percy V. Pennybacker, president
of the Texas State Federation of

TWO COUNTIES.
Thirteen Houses Blown Away In
Pike and Howard Counties—
No Lives Lost.
Pike City, April 27.—Particu
lars of the storm which swept
through a portion -of Pike and
Howard counties Sunday show
that the path of the tornado was
two miles wide and Jf teen miles
in kme-th. and that thirteen
houses were blown away, al
though no lives were lost.
Timber estimated at ,50,000,000
feet was blown down and a large
number of head of cattle killed.
The losses fall heavily upon a
number of farmers. It is esti
mated that the damage will ex
ceed $200,000 in the path .of the
storm. Many farms are strewn
with fallen timber, and fences
are down or lost entirely.
In Howard county the track, of
the storm was eight miles north
of Center point, in Holly Creek
and Muddy Fork townships,
where several residences, besides
numbers of barns, gins and fences
were domolished. The greatest
damage, however, was in the
destruction of valuable timber.
Fortunately, no lives were lost.
One woman and a child were
slightly injured in Howard county

LETTER TO DR. HENRI
OWEN, NEWPORT, ARK.
Dear Sir: You understand
(ehemistry; how’d you like toearr
d»1 AAA 9
Devoe lead-and-zinc that’s
the name of our paint that takes
| fewer gallons than mixed painl
and wears twrice as long as lead
land-oil—is made of white-lead,
white zinc, its eolor, turpentine
, dryer, and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds any adul
teration in this paint we’ll pay
his bill and $1,000 besides.
It’s nobody’s business what we
put in our paint, of course; but
we want it known. For lead-and
zinc and linseed oil, ground to
gether byr machinery,are the stuff
to paint with; and lead-and-oil
mixed by hand is not.
We want it known that one
word describes the best paint in
world; and that word is Devoe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
92 New York and Chicago.
