The problem of property main
tenance is u very serious one when
the property wealth destroyed an
anally, by various causes is con
sidered. Contrary to popular be
lief, fire is not the lai'KeaL cause of
property Ioj-h, NeKh-cl und care

an Investment of nearly $!o,immi,

Insects, accord I rip o Mo lilolo-

Agriculture, cause an annual loss
in evceNN of $ I ,fii4, Mi'j.nuu and

lightning, hurricanes and droughts
cause an annual loss of about

Take Cnr' of Homes.
Tile Interesting fact oboilt .the
loss, s as above slated Ik th.it ttie
largest, is due entirely to negh ct J
ami carelessness, and is ttie eas- '
lest of all to reduce, and In fact
about the only one that can be 1
controlled more or less, und the j
one easy way that a person who I
owns property can help to reducoj
the enormous cost of loss in dc-'
prcclation Is In paint. Keep your
buildings well painted and cared
for and you will help to stop fast
depreciation, make your property
more saleable, bettor looking and
protects your Investment.
in painting tt new building, it Is
not necessary to pile the paint on
the exterior of tho building with
several coats, but just apply two
coals when you are building, und
then the following year apply ono
or two more coats and you will
then have a house that Ik wd
cared for und that has been paint
ed with Hiifflclent ingredlenls to
protect li from any ruin, of course
these coalings will not last forever,
and the owner will hivc to paint
the house again some time to fur
ther prevent destruction ami to
keep his homo looking nice and
now .

how, and the Joints will pull apart

and that In the reason that 1 am

on your new building the first
year, but put on enough to protect
the house through one season, and
then finish painting (tie tollowiug

paint a building in the (irandc

of July and August. This Is the
