A large supply of cans was laid in at the beginning of the season but as the size of crop was an unknown item then, it has turned out that there has been a shortage in cans at all the plants. Sept. the factory in this place had canned cans of corn. Several last week the supply day brought here was in neighborhood of 4 vi tons and rans turned out in a day's lime.

There were tanners IIXHH near Lilllolown with lug cum. they been un- aMe to at LiUtJestown by reasnu of congested condition of supply at that plant. Wan. H.

DearSir: It costs two or three times as much to put paint on as to buy it. A gallou of poor paint costs as much as a gallou of good, for the work; aud a gallon of poor don't go half as far. Poor paint lasts half or a third or a quarter as long as good; aud protects wood aud iron a half or a third or a quarter as well as good. Do you buy good Jpaiut or poor? You don't know any poor? Why, the market is full of it! All Devoe agents have a state chemist's certificate which tells just what's in Devoe. Go by the name: the one safe name: Devoe lead-and-zinc.
