A ridiooloos and nnoeaeesary state

on tbe Columbia bave made their
passage through tbe Celilo oanal and
are strandeD at Ibe dam fsr tbe reason
that provisions for a ladder have been
wantonly negleoted by tbe aotboii
ties. Thousands of dollars annually

investment. The flsh, beaded for

Tbe spaoe tbat every newspaper
donates to public affairs and worthy
oauses is not always appreciated, and
often when appreciated the editor
never bears of It, Ths Minnesota
Poblio Health Association during Us
last Red Cross Christmas seal cam-
pdigu sent seals to Minnesota news
papers with tbe following tiitiote:
"We feel tbat the editor wbo give
generously of bis spaoe, not only dur
ing the seal oampaign, bnt through
tbe year, is giving as much as any ot
our heaviest ooutcibotors. These are
merely an acknowledgement of your
generons, voluutary belp, wbiob we
feel no amount of oasb oonld purchase,"
An Innovation wbiob the Forest
Bervloe bas planned for tbls snmmer
is the plaoing of a patiolman on tbe
reoently Oiimpleted Prlneville-Mitobell
road In tba Ohooo forest in Ceulral
Oregon. This idea Is copied from a
foreign country and Is known as
"maintenance patrol." Tbe patrolman
will drug the road peiiodially, keep
ruts filled, dltobes open, weeds nut,
brush down and look after snob work
as will keep the road open and smooth
for traffic lo fact, his duties will be
similar to those of a seotion man on a
railroad. '

WHY NOT MAKE YOUR OLD HOUSE LOOK NEW?
Just a lew suggestions to show how easily aud economically it may
be remodeled and modernized.
A NEW FRONT PORCH, built along modern lines, ooets not a great
deal, adds Immeasurably to the appearanoe ot the house, besides adding
greatlv to its liveable aud likeable qualities.
ONE OF THOSE MODERN FRONT DOORS, really one of tbe most
attractive features of reoently built bouses. You oonld bave one put in
at small oost aud witb very little trouble. No one thing would make
more notioable improvement.
WHY NOT HAVE MORE LIGHT? Larger openings from tbe ball
to the adjoining loom or between two adjoining rooms, would produce .
tbat effeot, with uinob additional oomfort. Additional light oould te se
cured by putting in a new single or mullion (double) windows. Tho cost
of tbese obaogea is slight. The introduotion of a wiodow seat, especially
in a bay window, gives added ooziness at a very alight additional oost.
THOSE NEW BREAMED CEILINH8 Yon bave admirsd tbem in
other bouses. Eld yon ever slop to think tbat tbe higher oeilinga of yoor
older house would permit of Ibe introduotion of one of tbem, most effeot
ively at a small outlay? It would make a veiy flue setting for those new
eleotrio fixtures too would like so muoh.
HARDWOOD FLOORS tbose vertioal grain hardwood floors appeal
to the housewife. You would be surprised to know bow easily we oonld
put one in tor you tight over tbe old one, without tearing np tbe room,
and all at a most moderate oost,
MAKE THE STAIRWAY COUNT. It should not be a convenience
only, but play its part In tbe interior deoorative sobeme as well. Just a
few alterations new balusters aud mil or newel, or new treads and risers
will help mnob.
THOSU BUILT-IN FEATURES they may all be so easily introduced
into tbe old house. Sideboards, obiua oloaets, kitohen oupboards, when
built in save spaoe and harmonize with the rest nt tba woodwork. New
trim would likewise add a striking effeot as compared with the old.
WITH VERY LI1ILE MUSS a great many improvements can be
made without partition work, ao that there Is none of tbe "muss" tbat
accompanies new plastering work. Soma of these improvements, whloh
oau be made at slight cost, will not only inorease tbe oomfort of your
house but add to its selling value as well.
Our WALLBOARD can te.easily used simply nail tbis to your old
walls and paint over same. Yon will get a lot of sugges iona for using
wallboard from our books on the same. Very pretty designs for the home
oan te easily worked out. OUR FREE PLAN BOOKS GIVE MANY
SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS WORK. Why not let ua explain to yon in
detail soon at what reasonable prioes and witb bow little tronble yon
can make tbese improvements.
