Last week there was much talk on -our streets about the American hate to Germany, regarding the Lusitania affair, and every one was telling what he or she would do in case of war between the two countries. There were many belligerents ready to pull off their coats and clean up the Germans, by word of mouth, if it took them until July. One of our lady friends saw a possibility of losing her husband, and, in the greatest excitement, declared that before she would consent to him going she would "shoot him in both feet." Such methods would surely be effective. Leaving Us Disconsoloate. With the closing of school the teachers will leave Abbeville for the vacation and many hearts in the city will be disconsolate.

Fraud Paint The worst mistake' one is likely to make in painting is wrong paint; it i is easy to make. a | We all say "Ours is the best"; and there are 1000 of us. One is best; " but a dozen are so near on - a level e that no one knows, for sure, that his ! is the one. The worst paints are worst liars; they know what they are, put-on a bold face, and brazen it out. Their one true argument is low e price; but low-price paint is always, must be, a fraud; it is made to cheat cheatable people. DEVOE CITY . . . G.
