75 years ago everyone
wore homespun
and, likewise, everyone used hand-mixed
paint. Xo-day, when machine-spun cloth
is so much better and cheaper, no one would
think of wearing homespun. Many people
are still using hand-mixed paint, however,
because they do not know that
rr7 T(C The Guaranteed

i will save them money and labor. Devoe
Lead and Zinc Paint is made of the
x same ingredients the old-time painter used:
Pure White Lead, Pure White Zinc, and
Pure Linseed Oil. The only difference is
that Devoe is mixed by machinery, 1000
gallons at a time. Therefore, it is always
absolutely uniform in strength, ;co!or and
covering capacity.
"We guarantee Devoe Lead and Zinc Paint
T to be pure. We know it contains no whit

SHOE EXPENSE
"Many months of comfort at little
expense" is the way Charles A. Pear-
son of San Diego, California, sums up
his experience with Neolin Soles. Mr.
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes "I will have to get .new shoes
sometime, .but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new."
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Neolin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for re-soling. -They are made by The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels
guaranteed to outwear" all other heels.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Written for THE INDEPENDENT by Robert H. Welch, Jr.
Seers and bards who guess the future use but knowledge
of the past,
Man, not miracles or fortune, makes his own fate, first and
last;
We meet problems that our fathers met and solved and we
can learn
From their wisdom and their folly, lessons which we should
not spurn,
How to meet the same conditions which in different guise
return.
Scarce one century has passed since, our union, now so
strong,
Was opposed at its adoption, argued and debated long.
Some there were who favored any plan except the one in
hand,
Some who thought that union could but bring oppression
on the land,
Some who thought that all was vain, that central power
could not stand.
Others still, and these more selfish, were afraid it might
succeed,
Feelingless these petty thinkers for a country in its need,
Each unwilling that his state should yield one jot of sover
eign power
In the cause of peace and order, lest in some more quiet hour
They should suffer from a weed which was planted as a
flower.
Now we have the same great question argued in a larger
field,
Shall our country for the world something of its power
yield?
Still the enemies of union, who are enemies opeace,
Strive against the League of Nations, willing they that war
increase
Rather than America's now outgrown isolation cease.
Let us leave this selfish doctrine, join the world and do our
part,
As in war, so now in peace, give a willing hand and heart,
Do our share to keep the spirit of united man in motion,
Men with mortal hopes and fears live on both sides of the
ocean;
To our flag we owe allegiance, to humanity devotion.
MANTEO MAN TAKEN IN
BY SAILORS IN NORFOLK
Bijt He Recovered His Roll After an
Exciting Chase In Which
Detective Took a Foot
How George O'Neal, of Manteo, Dare
county, came near losing his wad in
Norfolk the other night is entertain
ingly told by the Virginian-Pilot. That
paper's account follows:
Yesterday George decided that he
would like to spend the day in a real
city, so he comes to Norfolk with a
roll of $341.89 in greenbacks and checks
in his breast pocket and starts in to
see the sights. - m
Now O'Neal was unfamiliar with the
byways of Norfolk, and was in a bad
way to see the real sights by his lone
some, having ventured no further than
the shops along East Main street.
So it was no wonder that when two
pleasant faced boys in the navy uni
form of Uncle Sam's navy fell in with
O'Neal and vouchsafed the information
that they too were from the land of
the long leaf pine, he was down right
glad to see them and accepted with
alarcity their invitation to show him
over the city.
The sightseeing tour ended, however,
one block from where it began, when
one of the sailor lads, Euprehiam Dixon
by name, is alleged to have snatched
George's entire roll, while the latter
was watching the ferry boat come in,
and sprinted up King's Lane with his
pal, James C. Swain at his heels.
O'Neal gave chase, but what chance
did he have against two athletic young
fellows from the navy.
The gobs were gaining at every jump
when around the corner came Sleuth
TJnwit7kv munchinsr a auid of "ArDle". .
and looking for a kid whom he wanted
for larcenv. When Nowitzky saw the
fleeing sailors he surmised something
was wroner anfi made a dive lor uixon.
The sailor went down before the cop
and o Mens roil ieii irom nis Diouse.
WnwitW rnvprpd Swain with his erun
a-nri rlonntiipd a. fMtizfin near bv to hold
him while he yanked Dixon to his feet.
At the central station house a rew
minutes later, Dixon and Swain were
docketed on charges of grand larceny
from the nerson. while O'Neil was de
tained as a witness.

SAVING BEATS EARNING:
TOO BAD ESAU DIDN'T
LIVE TO ENJOY IT ALU
If Esau and Jacob who lived
some six thousand years ago,
were still alive, and if Esau had
earned $10 every day, and had
saved it all, he would have
$21,900,000. On the other hand,
if Jacob had deposited $1 at 1
per cent, interest, compounded
every 100 years, he would hava
today $576,460,752,303,423,488.
Can anyone figure out how
much Jacob would have had had
he purchased one $5 War Sav
ing Stamp then, which pays in
terest at the rate of 4 per cent.,
compounded four times every
year? There is an idea in all
this: How much would every
child have if its parents should
start it out with a $5 stamp, and
then encourage the youngsters
to save?
Daily Thought.
Be calm in arguing; for flercenes
makes error a fault and truth dis
courtesy. Herbert.
