are lOaning NJ the high rates OF inter.

in the transaction, which Shaw is so
generous with.
The question naturally arises why
Is money so scarce when the volume
in circulation has Increased over 50
per cent in the last ten years? The
chief reason Is because the surplus
money in the banks mostly finds its
way to Wall street, where 1t naturally

GOOD PAINT AS AN ASSET.
Farm Buildings Should Be Kept Well
Protected to Prevent Loss.

Among all the routine expenses OF
the property owner there Is none that
yields more satisfactory returns than
GoOd paint. In this respect IL Is like
tire insurance but with a difference.
Fire Is accidental and when an in.
surcd building burns. the insurance
company pays good proportion OF
the cost OF rebuilding But when a
building suffers for the lack Of paint
as 1t must suffer II painting is neg.
lected-the owner bears the entire
loss. IL is the height OF improvidence,
therefore, TO allow a property to de-
terlOrate for the lack of a coat Of good
paint in season. for paint is not only
a form of insurance that pays its own
premiums. but In the selling value 1t
adds to building. 1t is an actual cash
asset
The best time to paint Is in the
spring or the fall, when the weather
is settled, and paint applied at the
proper time will wear better and pro.
tect better than If applied at an un.
favorable season.
For ordinary use there is nothing
superior to the better grades of ready.
mixed paints put on the market by
responsible manufacturers. They can
be bought anywhere in convenient
quantities. and OF any desired tint or
shade, from local dealers a little in
quiry regarding the local record OF
any such paint offered for sale will
usually enable the consumer to judge
of its quality.
So much for the selection Of the
paint; it's application should be left to
a good painter who will get better
results, with less material, from any
form OF paint than the unskilled
novice can obtain
