clone at Grinnell, Iowa. Mr.. Jones has

If your fence IS too poor to afford a
coat of paint or whitewash, tear it down
and go without. A well-kept yard looks
much better without any fence than with
a poor one. If your fence is good, but
needs painting, and you can't afford to
paint, give it coat of whitewash. No
one is too poor for that, and it is sur
prising what difference it will make in
favor of the good looks of the home
and surroundings.

THAT COURT HOUSE FoUNDAT1oN.-
We interviewed H. J. Anderson, the
superintendent of the Court House con.
struction, the other day, in regard to the
foundation. We called his attention to
the report in the Leroy paper about the
sand spots that would let the wall sink
from its own weight" His reply was sub
stantially as follows: GAS far as the
ground is concerned, there don't seem to
be any call for the report, as no sandholes
or spots were developed, and the footings
under the walls are ample for even 8
heavier building. The soil on which the
foundation rests is clay gravel, of solid
nature, the very best for foundation
next to rock" Mr.. Anderson ought tc
know whereof he affirms, and we believe
his word is considered good everywhere
