MAKING BEST USE OF PAINT
Coloring Must B tolected According
to the Material on Which It It
to Bo Usd.
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.

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-

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.
Keniity and gender still exist, but they
are no longer the sole working riHSeta."
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.

BIG DAY IN BALBOA'S LIFE
Qreat SparWah ExfAorvr First

25, Mil
On Sept 25. 1513. 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

reducing fertility of eggs, and lower
