News and Comment
There are some four hundred
railroad men who are badly sur-
prised at what they are pleased J
to term "a trick" played on them j
by Secretary of Agriculture Wil-1
son. They are officials of ter-
minal roads who maintained that
the law forbidding the transpor-
tation of live stock for periods of
more than twenty-eight hours
without unloading for food and
water, applied only to through
roads. The Secretary warned
them that they would be prose-
cuted if they failed to observe
the law and then instructed his
agents to watch them. Now the
Attorney General has rendered
an opinion to the effect that the
Secretary was right and the rail-
roads wrong in their respective
construing of the law. The rail-
roads expected that until a test
case had been carried through
the courts they would be free
from prosecution, but the Secre-
tary has secured the evidence
with which to conduct four hun-
dred prosecutions and he insists
upon punishing the railroads for
their refusal to observe his warn-
ing. The railroads have seldom
been treated like other people
and they are inclined to resent
the proposition that they should
be punished for violating an un-
tested law but some of them have
been wise enough to announce
their intention of paying their
fine without attempting to estab-
lish a defense.

Say, I want to know every man,
lady, boy and girl in and around
Konawa, I. T. I want to be
well acquainted with you as Ko-
nawa is and will be my future
home for life. And as no man
lives to himself and as I want to
be of some help to all people, if
I can do no more, I want to be
your friend, and I -want the
friendship of all people. So I
want you to feel free • to call on
me for any help that lays in my
power. I want the poor to es-
uecially feel that I am your
friend and that I hold you near
to me if you be only honest. I
want no enemies if possible.

Letter to Dr. A. H. Yates,
Konawa, I. T.
Dear Sir: You understand
chemistry; how'd you like to earn
$1000?
De v o e lead-and-zinc t h a t's
the name of our paint that takes
fewer gallons than mixed paint
and wears twice as long as lead-
and-oil is made of white-lead,
white-zinc, its color, turpentine
dryer, and linseed oil.
If any chemist finds any adul-
teration in this paint we'll pay
his bill and $1000 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 by 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
the world; and that word is De-
voe.
Are you going to paint?
Yours truly
F. W. Devoe & Co
