MAKING BEST USE OF PAINT
Coloring Mutt Be Selected According
to the Material on Which It li
; to Be Used.
' Paints and painting cost less than
repairs necessitated by decay or dis
integration. There Is no such thing as an all
service paint. Paint should be se
lected according to the material to
be painted and the conditions under
which It must give service. The wear
on a floor Is more severe than on a
wall, hence the floor calls for a tough
er, more elastic paint.
Painting should not be done when the
temperature Is lower than 50 degrees
Fahrenheit, as the paint will not flow
well. It is Impractical to paint a hot
surface. The old painting maxim is:
In spring and fall follow the sun; in
summer, follow the shade.
Outside painting should be done in
dry weather. Surfaces should not be
-painted when wet
Surfaces to be painted should be
gotten as smooth and. clean as possi
ble. They should be free from grease.
If painting new wood, knots and sappy
surfaces should be shellacked first.
If painting over previously painted sur
faces, all blisters and loose or peeled
6pots should be scraped or burned
clean. A brushing with a stiff wire
brush followed by sandpaper Is good
.practice.
A priming coat usually pays for its
cost. A firm base for the final coats
Is very essential to Insure long serv
ice. The primer should be thin enough
"to penetrate the lumber. It should
1e well brushed in.
Only pure Unseed oil or pure tur
pentine should be used to thin paint
TOWN AS PART OF COUNTRY
Southern Magazine Haa the Right Idea
That Communities Must Stand
er Fall Together.
The country town Is 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 little town thought
that its business was to grow into a
City just as soon as possible. Some
towns and many town people still
think 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
i ftt?' more c'ear'y that the town, the
mall 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 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
jites Hint the average man is better
Wi),, to build and own a home today
ffian five years ago. "Money values,"
lie says, "have been batted about, and
the condition has been aggravated by
ill-advised buying by workers with sud
denly acquired wa;e increases. These
wage Increases have gone largely Into
the purchase of luxuries, resultiug in
a shortnge of necessities. The reuc
tion, however, has started In. Through
all this period of extravagance and
recklessness the solid, substantial ele
ment of our people have kept their
heads. They have stived money.
Prices are on a downward trend and
will reach a normal level in three or
four years. In spite of the high cost
of labor and materials prices can be
maintained at a fairly reasonable level.

Need of Home Ownership.
Robert E. Simon told the convention
of the Heal Estate association of
the state of New York held at Roches
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 percentage of tenantry
is one of the dangers in our country
today," said Mr. Simon. "While
France has 80 per cent of home own
ers, the United States census of 1890
showed 48 per cent, and 1910 only 38
per cent; in 1920 it probably will be
still less. This tide must be stopped
and turned in the opposite direction."
All Forma 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
people realize in health, recreation,
enjoyment of the home, and the in
creased value of property.

EVERYDAY FOOD6.
A good breakfast dish which is sus
taining may be prepared from ah in
expensive cut of
beef from, the
shank, the mar
row adding much
to Its food value.
Take two pounds
of beef cooked
with the chopped
marrow, cover
meat and bone
with boiling wafer and cook until ten
der. Let the meat stand after cook
ing until the next day, then chop fine.
There should be three or four cupfuls
of broth in which there should be
cooked three cupfuls of oatmeal, to
make a mush much like the ordinary
breakfast food not at all soft be
cause tt must mold. When the oat
meal is cooked, stir In the chopped
meat, celery salt, onion juice and any
desired seasoning. When well cooked
turn into well greased pans to cool.
Cut in slices and fry. To serve for
a main dish at luncheon or dinner
serve with boiled onions, turnips or
parsnips and a green salad.
Scalloped Potatoes. Cut a peeled
onion In very thin slices and cut in
quarters. Melt three tnblespoonfuls
of fat, add the onion and cook very
slowly on the back part of the range
until softened, stirring occasionally.
Slice a layer of potatoes Into a but
tered baking dish holding a quart.
Sprinkle with the onion, with salt, pep
per and chopped parsley ; continue the
layers until the dish Is full ; ndd milk
or broth from leftover ronsts until It
ca,u be seen through the potatoes. Let
bake one-half hour. If uncooked po
tatoes are to be used, parboil them
for five minutes and Increase the time
of baking to one hour or longer,
A New Salad. Cook three tnble
spoonfuls of rice in boiling salted wa
ter to cover; after boiling ten minutes,
drain and add one cupful of orange
Juice and cook In a double boiler until
the rice is tender; cool, odd one-half
cupful of finely-chopped kdnnched al
monds, sprinkle with salt. Arrange
with balls of cream cheese on lettuce
and serve with French dressing.
Takes Sail Behind Halibut
Cncle George Butler of Ellsworth.
Me., now In his eightieth year, hooked
a halibut while fishing off Sisters
Ledge, and casting off his anchor rope,
which he had fastened with n toggle,
he enjoyed a sail about the bay, with
the halibut for power. After u while
the halibut got tired and Cncle Coorge
hauled it in. It weighed 20 pounds.
Ancient Perfume.
It seems strange to us today to read
of saffron as a perfume ; one of the
romances about it lies in V- story by
Ilakluyt of a pilgrim smuggling, at the
risk of his life, from the Levant a head
of saffron in a hollow made In bis
stuff. i -

MATCHMAKING
t"VT,OW that Miss Favorite Is com
aN ing to spend a few days with
us, I think I'll invite Charles Augustus
Terwilllger to dinner," said Mrs.
Jamesworthy. "I have always thought
they were Intended for each other, and
they should be
better a c
quainted." "I never could
understand why
married women
are always match
ing up the young
people of their ac
quaintance," re
marked James
worthy. "M o s t
wives insist at
least to their hus
bands that mat
rimony is a pro
nounced failure.
Every time you see an old maid you
turn green with envy, and you have
told me a million times that a woman
sacrifices her liberty and Independ
ence the minute she inveigles a man
to the altar, and vows to love, cherish
and protect him. You have said in my
presence that the spinster is the only
woman who Is her own boss.
"It doesn't take the ingenuity of a
Sherlock Holmes to deduce from your
remarks that you consider matrimony
a total loss. Why, then, Mrs. James
worthy, are you (forever trying to be
guile your friends into that condition
of misery? Qf course, yoa can't ex
plain ; neither can any woman explain.
Matchmaking Just comes natural to
all of you.
"When I am looking for all kinds of
plain ami fancy trouble, I'll begin
matching up the young men and wom
en of my acquaintance. But not until
I am suffering for an Invoice of grief.
I might persuade my friends to Invest
in a western sliver mine, or buy patent
rights In a revolving churn, but you'll
never Bee Elijah Jamesworthy boost
ing matrimony in your Indiscriminate
way. If two young people got married
through your ring generalship, and
they found that each had drawn a gold
brick, they would hate yon as long
as they lived, and would always speak
of you as an old busybody with a nose
too long for legitimate purposes, and
they'd make faces at you whenever
you met them on the street.
"Do you ever think of your respon
sibility when you try to boom the or
ange blossom market? Does It ever
occur to you, at such times, that you
are rushing in where angels fear to
tread?
"Now, Just consider Sarah Jane Fa
vorite and Charles Augustus Terwil
llger, who will be railroaded to the
altar if you have your way. I admit
that they make a handsome pair.
Sarah is a blonde with a pug nose,
and Charles Augustus Is a brunette
with a nose like a Roman senator.
They afford a pleasing contrast. But
appearances count for little, Mrs.
Jamesworthy, when the real business
of married life begins.
"Sarah has basked in the lap of lux
ury all her days, and she has the Idea
that money grows on vines like cu
cumbers. I don't suppose she ever
knew what It means to need fifty cents
or a dollar. When she wants anything
she goes to the store and gets It, and
has it charged to her father. If there
Is one word In the dictionary she Isn't
familiar with, that word is retrench
ment. "Charles Augustus on the other
hand, had bard Hledding all through
bis boyhood. As a result of his ex
perience he has an exaggerated Idea of
the value of a kopeck. He is the sort
of man who will walk eight miles
through a thunderstorm rather than
cough up carfare. Whenever he parts
with a nickel he has to take a brotno-gi-ltzer
to steady hl9 nerves. His rev
erence for money Increases every day,
and It will keep on Increasing as long
as he lives.
"Yet you, Mrs. Jamesworthy, In your
feeble-minded matchmaking enthusi
asm, would use your vote and Influ
ence to Join these two people In the
holy bonds. Just take the advice of
your gwaybacked husband, and let
su h people work nut their own des
tinies, and everybody concerned will
be happier."
