FRIDAY,..-. OCTOBER 20, 1911
Wc Need Electric Lights
H OW many of you are in favor
of some small electric lights for
tbe streets? Right now we are
having dark nights aud the nec-
essity of a few such lights can be
very plainly seen. At a very small
expense a few hull) lights could j
be put in and Lexington would I
not be bard to find on a dark!
nigbf,. Dangerous walks would J
be eliminated.
Arc lights are • not needed. Of
course, tbey throw more light but
tbey cost more money. Lexing-
ton is not in need of arc lights but
the town surely does need some
small bulb street lights. One
good stiff damage suit against the
city will amount to more than it
would cost to light the town for
five years.
Understand the Leader is not
boosting this proposition for tbe
Purcell Light Co. That company
might be alright but it needs help
some place. Street lights, of
course, would be of little value
without tbe necessary current and
power to fill them with light. Lex-
ington people should demand some
kind of service if they intend pay-
ing for the power and the way
things have been of late with no
current to furnish even electric
wired homes and not even street
lights the town has been wrapped
in darknass-.-except for the assis-
tance of a late moon. An expla-
nation or an understanding should
be asked and if the right kind of
service is forthcoming the town
could reward the company by put-
ting in a few additional street
lights. Think it over and see if
the Leader hasnt spoken for the
best interests of the town.
Use Less,
Costs Less

Club as of any other brand
selling at the same price.
It costs less than any other

an honest anti-trust price

ing Powder—in 10c-15c-
25c cans at good gioccrs.
Layton Pure Food Company
East St. Louis, 111.
Lots of hay coming into Lexing-
ton every day this 'week. Hay
price is good and its money to the
man with more than his share to
shift' it off for the gold dust.
HERE'S the way Devoe, Lead
and-Zinc Paint proves the
cheapest paint to use:'
Acertain bank president had his
house painted with lead-and-oil
paint; big house; the paint-job cost
$400.
It lasted three years and was then
re-painted with Devoe Lead-and-
Zinc Paint at a cost of $.'io0. Ten
years later, and the paint is still
in good condition.
I nail and nil, three years. $100.
Devoe, ten yearn, $:I50.
Better use Devoe for your job.
