same fidelity that has marked
his course in Congress since the
first day he took the oath of
office.
OF course there are those who
want his place, as there have
been, each succeeding two years
since his election, but there al
ways seem to have been a good
wholesome majority willing to
continue in office the man who
has neglected no duty. and who
has stood for the interests of
the people against corporate

Here's a prize winner. It
comes from The Batesburg

thunder crawled into a hollow

rolled and the rain poured down

make the South a Land of
Painted Farm Houses"

The Progressive Farmer, one
of our best farm papers, says:
We haven't lost one bit of in
terest In our campaign to make
the South a land of painted
farmhouses." We must come
to it.. If paint didn't help the
wood at all, but only made the
buildings look brighter, cheer
fuller, happier, moro progress
sive, thiftY, more as if real
folks ill., ed there" it would even
then pay, and pay handsomely,
to paint every farm building.
In fact, we have. an idea that
the increased good cheer, enter.
prise, and self confidence that a
family will get from living in a
painted house will alone pay
for the cost Of painting in a
single years time. But moro
than tDis, the paint adds to the
life of the lumber so greatly,
and lumber is now so costly,
that it is a genuine economy to
use paint-not only on the home
itself, but also on the outbuild-
ingsland on all the farm tools and
machinery. In a recent notable
book, New Lives for Old"
William Carleton gives this
story of how he painted an old
farmhouse-and it is an exper-
fence many q Progressive Farm
er reader could duplicate. Says
Mr.: Carleton:
The very first, coat brought
the old house to life. It's won
derful what pant will do. 1t
didn't make the house look new
in the sense of making it appear
like a house of today, but rath-
er carried it back to it's youth.
1t was like making an old man
young again. We could hardly
wait for the paint to dry before
starting the second coat, and
that carried us back another
twenty-five years. Even Seth,
who at the start had allowed
that the old shack wasn't worth
repairing. admitted now that it
began to look real nifty.
And the inside looked as fine
as the outside. When we be-
g1n, the woodwork was dis
colored both py age and dirt,
This made the whole interior
look worse than q cheap tene-
ment, Twenty dollars worth OF
white lead and oil changed this
as tho by magic into a clear
white, as fresh as when the
house was first built. There i
nothing which shows age more
!, than paint, and there's NOTHING

The fnancier came to this
country a penniless immigrant
boy, with his sister, Louise, and
an old couple whom he since has

He got a job as office boy and

sums of money and skinning
those he manipulated with.
Soon he got a minority interest

HAT REALLY AN ORNAMENT
English Men and Women Of Times
Past Wore Wonderful and I'm
posing Headgear.

7. Ladies probably did, not, begin to
wear hats until about the tenth CEN
tury. If so early. and then 1t was the
lofty headdress draped with some ma
terial, which it must have been most
trying to, keep on indoors, and quite
impossible to wear in a. wind.
According to the Anatomy OF
Abuses" written in Queen Elizabeth's
time. ladies' hats were, very nearly
as perplexing then as they are. to-
day.
These fashions be rare and strange,
so Is the stun whereof the hats be
made divers also; for some are Of
silke. some of velvet, some of taffeta
and some of WOOL and which is more
curious, some of a certain kind of fine
haire, these they call beaver hats"
In the reign of Henry VIII, hats as
sumed a great richnesse and beau
! tie," but in the time of the first James
they became even more ornate, jewels
OF price and occasionally small mir
rors being used In their adornment.
AT times Of revelry the gallants wore
feathers In their hats, which were said
to be one Of the "fairest ensigns Of
their braverie."
But for adornment mems hats were
IN their zenith in the days Of Charles.
The big felt hats with the long feath-
er saucily curled around them, fast
ened with a buckle often of great
value, gave a dashing air to the cava-
liers, which absolutely cast the tall
solemn hats Of the Puritans and
Psalm singers" into the shade.
The monster hats of the time Of the
emrire were almost as big as "the
Merry Widow" of modern fame, and in
shape today they were positively
unique. Mems hats have suffered
great changes since the time Of
Charles, and 1t is more than doubtful
l. they will ever again become
ornate. , .,s
Indeed, save in very remote parts Of
Wales where the old women still

steeple hat, there ic nothing especially
peculiar about the headgear Of the
