ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

To the Editor:
noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that il was In
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place IL was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that it's first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is. its
first occupant was President Adams.
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 il was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House TO make IL beautifully
white.
| noticed this especially because |
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.

mixed paint--were used on the White
House, because had just read book
let published by firm OF readymixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but the
best and purest of paint could be
used and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people. those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even II it is only a date
or a statement about wood, or brick,

THE SHOW OF THE STATE.
A VIEW OF THE STATE FAIR GROUNDS
AND ITS EQUIPMENT.
MICHIGAWS GREATEST FAIR WILL SOON OPEN

A visit TO the grounds on which will
be held the Michigan State Fair OF
1906 and an inspection of the many
new buildings recently erected for eX-
hibition purposes impresses one with
the marvellous progress of the Michi-
gan State Agricultural Society, which
had its origin in the pioneer days of
the commonwealth. The more than a
half century that has elapsed since the
formation OF the society at Lansing in
1S49, has marked a great transition in
agriculture and allied pursuits during
which period Michigan has grown from
a comparatively wild and unsettled
domain to state of 100000 people.
The State Agricultural Society has
kept pace with the progress of the
state, each succeeding exhibition show

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of one who has trav-
eled much and observed closely. the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try. anywhere from Newport. Ark. TO
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently. the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world with it's artificial needs
and inadequate compensations. has
been to them but little more tangible
than dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force TO the independent-spir-
tied AngloSaxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin.
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law-and possibly his fem.
mime helpmeet: cringing to no EN-.
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health The richest bounty
OF Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand. but IL is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as mat.

for how could he we'll be otherwise
than content? 1t is sad that such
idealistic conditions may rot con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut it's
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by class OF immigrants
better capable of judging its POSSIBLE
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the LAY OF the land"
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors. where their cat
tie can fatten on free range. where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-
ioyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.
