Paints and painting cost lens than repairs necessitated by decay or dls tntfgnitfon. There Is uo such thing as on all service paint. Pulnt should -Jm se lected according to the material to Ik) painted and the conditions under which It must give service. Tho wear on a floor Is mora severe than on a wall, hence the floor culls for a tough er, more elastic pulnt. Painting shouU not le done when tho terniwrature Is lower than CO degrees Kahrenhelt, as the paint will not flow well. It Is Impractical to taint a hot surface. Thq old painting maxim Is: In xprliig and fall follow tho sun; in SIlflillH.T, foll(V fhl! Hhado. Outside painting nhotild be Vme In dry weitthir. Surfsisrt should not l painted when wot. Surf area to he pulnted should be gotten as smooth and clean as possi ble. They should lie f ree from grease. If painting new wood, knots an4 sappy surface should bo shellacked flrti. If painting over prvTloily pulntel snr fucea, all blisters end looss or peoled spots should le wthph1 or burnl clean. A brushing with a stiff wire bnmh followed by sandpaper Is good practice. A priming cowt usually pays for Its cost. A firm base for the final coat Is very ennentlal to Insure long serv ice. The primer should be thin enough to penetrate the lumber. It should be well brushed In. Only pure llnseod oil or pure tur pentine should be osed to thin paint. TOWN AS PART OF COUNTRY Souther Maoaclne Has ths Right Idea That CommunltlM Must Stand or fall Together. The country town la a part of the country. It la one of the encourag ing signs of the time that country town business men are coming to realize this fact. It has not been so long ago that every Uttle town thought that Its business was to grow into a city Just as soou as possible. Some towns and many town people still thluk so. Many small-town people, too, still think that their chief rela tions and Interests are with the cities rather than the country. The most far-seeing business men have come to know better. They are seeing more and more clearly that the town, the small city, is an Integral part of the country, that It prospers only as the country prospers, and that It has Its place In the schene of things to be the life center of the country about It. The town merchant who opposes co-operative buying or selling by the farmers t of his territory, the town banker who would hinder the estab lishment of farm loan associations In his county, the town editor who neg lects the Interests of the back-country districts, are becoming more and more out of date. Not until the country and the country town learn that they are yoke fellows and must pull to gether can either make the progress It should. And both are learning. Southern Agriculturist. Easier to Build Homes Now. A well-known building authority states that the average man is better nblo to build and own a home today than five yeurs ago. "Money values," he says, "have been batted about, and the condition has been aggravated by ill-advised buying by workers with sud denly acquired wae Increases. These wage Imreasos have gone largely Into the purchase of luxuries, resulting in a shortage of necessities. The reac tion, however, has started In. Through all this period of evtravagnuce and recklessness the solid, substantial ele- iu Th. v,i monpv. ..,..'' .i ,i 1 m-III wnrli ii nnrnuil In threu or 1 j in t"f ii it? uii u uuvt i uiu liiuu aii' i four years. Iu spite of the high cost i of labor nnd materials prices can be maintained at a fairly reasonable level. Homes can be built now and the banks are willing to help." New York Sun. Need of Home Ownership. Kobvrt 10. Simon told the convention of the Ileal Estate association of tho ptate of New York held at Koehes ter, that every effort should be made to encourage home ownership, wheth er In the single or two-family house, or by co-operative ownership in the multi-family house. "The large pcit-entago of tenantry is one of the dangers in our country today," said Mr. Slinon. "While France has SO per cent of home own ers, the Uuited States census of 18!K) showed 48 per cent, and 1010 only 38 per cent ; In 1920 it probably will be still leas. This tide must be stopped and turned in the opposite direction." All Forms of Public Wealth. The shade trees and ornamental plantings of parks and streets, grounds of health and pleasure re sorts, public Institutions and of city, suburban, country and farm homes, represent a form of wealth which the Deonle realise in health, recreation, enjoyment of the home, and the In creased value of property. WOMAN IN HER NEW SPHERE Writer Asserts She Has Ceased to ti 8entlmntl and Is Armad for World's Work 'Women no longer marry for a home sod a provider," writes Frances Hodgson Iturnctt in McCall's. "To begin with, woman has largely ceased to be an amateur and a senti mentalist, and she has alo largely ct-nsed to be regarded as either one or the other or both, as the natural and Inescapable result of her sex. Such paid work as she undertimes to fierform Is not approached In the trem ulous hope that Incompetence and In exactneH will he overlooked 'In a woman' because a woman culled upon to he self-HupiHirtlng mant necessarily be regarded as an unnatural and pa thetic object. "Women have begmi to support themselves as a matter of decency and preference from which Una evolved the fact that they have ceaswl to marry merely to have 'someone to pro vide for fliem.' "Omilnjr Into competition with nifu. in her m-nrch for self-support, the woman whose portion It wu.h to r"taln her despairing bold nxn hojw by studying more 'to please' hn.s found It lurtjiislxrit Upon lif-r to supply her self amonj; other working tools with men's icle, men's restraint and men's knowledge of the nerp.s.ary Ignoring In the workaday world of the personal Influence which In tt matter of gunder.

PHOTOS NOW SENT BY CABLE Their Successful Transmission Has Passed Beyond the Range of an Experiment Photographs have been successfully cabled acrosa the Atlantic. The firt pictures actually transmitted were probably those taken In New York of the recent International yacht ace and reiroduced a few hours later In a London newspaper. There are several methods of transmitting photographs by wire and even by wireless electric ity, but the system followed In cabling the yacht pictures is probably the best. The negative containing the photograph Is "coded," or prepared for transmission by an Ingenious device which reduces the picture to an ar rangement of messages which resem ble an ordinary cable code and can be transmitted as such. This message can be handed into a telegraph office for transmission like any other mes sage. On being received on the other side of the Atlantic this menage Is placed In a machine resembling an or dinary typewriter and is In turn re produced by a series of holes in a long tape. The tape is then placed In the reproducing machine with an undeveloped plate and after being transmitted the plate Is placed In a developing bath which reproduces the original picture In every detail. Some details are lost In the sending, but It Is promised that the machine will soon be perfected and the long; distance transmission of photographs will be a commonplace. Boys' Life. Fossil Whale Unearthed. A rare fossil, that of a Miocene whale, has been found by Dr. Earl L. Packard, professor of geology at the University of Oregon, near Eugene, Oregon. The relic of prehistoric times, which was found In the cliffs along the beach at Newport, Ore., is, Doctor Packard believes, the finest specimen of fossil whale yet found In North America. Such jietrifted skeletons are very rare and the extreme ape of the recent find makes It of particular interest to scientific men. Only the skull of the creature has been exhumed from Its rocky bed and Doctor Packard Is now preparing it for addition to the Condon geological museum of the University of Oreiron. The bones are rather small, indicating that the leviathan wns young, or, which Is more probable, that the leviathans of the Miocene nse were markedly smaller than thoe of the present day. Fish Not Affected by Tar. The old question of the effect of j tarring roads on fish in neiphborinsr streams has been settled nnew at Cheshnm. England. The main rond of the town was tarred last w inter for the first time, and this has been fol lowed by the death of hirge numbers of trout and other fish In the River Chess. A special commission of In vestigation, however, has now reported that the ilsh destruction was not a result of the road tarring or of any opidemic disease. The real cause ap pears to have been poisoning by a tem porary Increase in tho Industrial pollu tion of a ditch which discharges into the river and Is practically an Indus trial sewer. Thrift in the Paint Brush. A little attention to details on the part of the housewife will prolong the life of utensils or utilities which cost considerable money to replace these days. The varnish on carpet sweepers soon wears off; unprotected as it Is from moisture nnd variations in tem perature, it is likely to fall to pieces. This can ensily be prevented by apply ing a coat of stain finish, obtainable at any paint store, wasning nincnines should also be protected from varia tions of temperature and moisture by applying a coat of colored enamel whgn neod(?(L ToKh furulture sctven k doors, bnny carriages and louiing- screens should all be thus cared for.

Vaseo Nnnei de Balboa had bla first peep at the bine expanse of the Pacific ocean, remarks the Los Angfdea Time. It was gained from the top of the mountain range at the Isthmus of Dart en. Four days later, on the 29tb. he reached the slopes himself and stood waist deep tn the waters. Be called It the Great Sooth sea and be took formal posses sion in the name of the king of Spain, after the manner of the old-time ex plorers. That was the big day In Balboa's life. He came to the New World as a stowaway and be attained the title of admiral of the Pacific and governor of Panama. Yet four years later he was executed in the public square st Ada on a trumped-up charge of treason. Balboa was an adventurer with the passions of the gambler, the drunkard and the spendthrift; yet as he gathered power and Mthority be Indicated prudeoce, judgment and fore sight. He wss a regular scout and now California has a dellgfltful beach and a guarded bay named after him. It would be very proper to call the last week In September Ralboa week in this section, for fro'i the dlscoverj to the possession of the Pacific four days elapsed. Peculiarities of Stature. Stature depends u good deal on cli mate. The Bushmen live In the great Kalahari desert, the tall Polynesians on the Pacific Islands, and enjoy all the advantages nature can bestow. The Hottentots, of the same race as the Bushmen, but Inhabiting more fer tile country, are appreciably taller. On the higher ground the people are usually shorter, so that the Swiss and central Europeans generally are stocky rather than tall. Sometimes stature varies with the class of men. Early emigrants to America before things were made easy by the steamship com panies, were always taller than the races from which they had sprung. They were picked men, full of physical vigor and courage. Stature varies also according fn profession. About half the professional and ecclesiastical classes are tall men. but only about one In ten of the cobblers, weavers and tailors reach the height of five feet seven Inches. Dishonesty. Let n bishop appear and members of his church will be preached a great sermon. The appreciation Is for the man's reputation and position. Thou sands of books actually worthless re celve what Is called appreciation be cause they are written by noted men, printed by noted publishers. You lnugh at the jokes of a clown but would not smile at the same nonsense offered by a neighbor. How the chil dren laugh at the'teacher's jokes. How an agent laughs at your jokes when lie thinks he has you in a buying humor. We are actually honest about nothing. E. W. Howe's Monthly. Alloy of Great Strength. Blakmetal, the Italian war alloy of Adolfo Pouchain, is claimed to have greater strength than steel or any other metal with a higher limit of elas ticity. It Is an alloy of zinc and cop per, endures a high temperature and resists corrosion better than copper. Its lightness, great strength and non corrosiveness have fitted it especially for airplane and ship construction. Though stated to be not yet fully de veloped, Its varieties offer advantages In working as substitutes for steel, brass and aluminum, and can be cast, turned, d 'awn, forged roiled and stamped. Farm and Home Pointers. Full foundation sheets in brood combs are important In helping eliminate undesirable drones, keep ing combs straight for more easy handling and saving honey that, would otherwise be consumed by the bees wtoile building the comb. Ent omology, 0. A. C. Pigs may be fattened on garbage with little or no grain except for the last week or so, when grain Is necessary to keep Ahe animals from, paunchiness. Four pounds garbage is worth one pound barley. Animal husbandry, O. A. C. One colony of bees consumes for its own use 200 to COO pounds of honey a year. Entomology, O.' A. C. On certain heavy soils, such ias some in Benton county, fall wheat sown thick in the spring makes a splendid summer pasture for hogs. Experiment station, O. A.' C. Barley appears to be a very satis factory substitute for mill run with corn filage and clover hay in dairy feeding-. The cows receiving the bar ley ration at prices when tests were made produced 100 pounds of milk at less cost. They did not gain in weight any more than those re ceiving mill run. Dairy, O. A. C. In getting- a clover stand spring seedintr with a companion crop is usually good, while fall seeding with or without a companion crop often fails. Barley and wheat are proba bly the best companion crops. Late spring seedings, alone, are satisfac tory. Farm crops, O. A. C. Our records indicate that close inbreeding of poultry has a very de cided effect in lowering production, reducing fertility of eggs, and lower ing vitality of offsprings. Cross breeding or out-breeding has re sulted in better fertility and hatcha bility and better vitality and pro duction, Poultry, 0. A. C.
