They will go quite as safely Il prop

There Is a widely prevalent Idea
that gh.ss will smash unless 1t Is

been KNOWN to carry half way across

By way of precaution it Is we'll to
wrap the picture in cotton bftttng be-
fore putting it under the boards. An
extra layer of the cotton can be placed
over the glass before the picture itself
is rolled.
There Is a special kind Of paste
board, made for packing purposes. It
Is stout, but light anu Is composed OF
two surfaces, a palm one on the out.

aHtorIs great protection to gtfss; such
protection that bottles or fltlid lave

A Fit Appointment.

The Fulton Journal contained
the following paragraph a few
days ago:
President Taft struck a happy
note in the republicanism of the
9th district when he appointed
Hon. c. a. Barnes of Mexico to
the position of census supervision
for his district. Mr.. Barnes is =
big brainy Republican and has all
the qualifications for the position.
That everybody concerned will b.
giyFn a square deal goes without
question with the people who
know Mr.. Barnes. The fact that
the job came to Mr.. Barnes IN
solicited is a guarantee of his fit.
ness for the place. There is one
thing that the public may be as
Sured of, that in making up his
list of enumerators, none but COM
petent, reliable people will be Sc,
lected. Mr.. Barnes will also ad-
here strictly to the spirit of the
law in taking the next census
which will be begun April 10,
1910. Applicants for places as
enumerators need not he in a
great hurry as the list of these
places viii not be made until
about the close of this year.
