CANE on SHOES

In damp weather an inner sole Of
newspaper in the shoes will fre-
quently exclude moisture and pre-
vent cold. Damp shoes and stock
ings should be removed Immediate
". If shoes are wet, fill with dry
oats; they will dry without harden
ing. The grain can be dried and
used again. If the shoes are hard
and stiff, rub the leather with a
mixture Of sweet oil and lard. To
render shoes in1peryious to water,
warm the soles and coat them with
two or three applications Of copal
varnish. Shoes are also made water
and snow-p proof by rubbing the sole
with llnseed oil. Home Department

MAKING HOME ATTRACTIVE.

a recent writer on what the
Farm Home Needs makes a few
suggestions for making the country
home more attractive and pleasant: !:
Have as much music as possible.
A phono graph is a good investment.
Indulge in an occasional trip eth
er to nearby or distant points. On
returning the home will be much
more attractive.
Read books, papers and maga-
zines. There is no company like a
good book.
Replace the old household meth
ods by modern labor-saving devices
as far as possible.
Make over the house 50 that there
may be bath-roo oom. Have a bet
ter arrangement of the kitchen SO
that there may be running water
and drainage.
Have as many modern comforts
as possible, such as better lights,
better heating system, comfortable
furniture and home furnishings.
Arrange the home duties 50 that
less Of the hard manual labor falls
on the woman. Let machinery do
as much OF the washing, iroriIrg,
churning, ETC., as possible.
None Of these things are out Of
the reach Of the average country
home and their introduction will
repay their cost many times over
and go a long way toward solving
the country home problem.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

We repeat that advertising in
country newspapers, properly uti-
lized, ,5is the most valuable advertis-
ing il the world for its cost. We
urge advertisers to take advantage
Of the opportunities offered by the
country newspapers. We add Incl
dentally, we don't own and never
expect to own any country newspa-
pers or to have any interest in a
country newspaper.
a country editor with five hum
|dred circulation or more for his
daily or weekly can talk to five
hundred typical American families
all purchasers, all desirable pur-
Chasers. 5a3 @
Every publisher Of a country
newspaper should be, through his
advertising columns, the trusted
and valued agent Of the promoter
of at least ten great Industrial mer-
chandising concerns.
The country publisher alone is
able through his columns to sell
everything that is for sale from
nails to pianos, from pills to auto
mobiles. They buy paint and roof
ing and stoves and lamps hundreds
of commodities that the city dwell
Ter never buys.
There is not community in the
United States in any one Of which
ten or even fifty great American
merchants and manufacturers
would not gladly hire at high pay a
competent, earnest representative
able to talk to Ave hundred or more
families. s
And every busines like, hard
working country publisher is such
agent, able every day to reach the
consumers, that nobody else can
reach.
The country newspaper is the
best Of all advertising mediums

GOLD MEDAL FOR BEST COsIPO-
q sITION on GOOD ROADS
From the. Office Of Public Roads,
United States Department Of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. G. n.

A gold medal to the school boy or
girl between the ages Of 40 and Is
who writes the best comp osition,
not to exceed 500 words. on the re-
pair and maintenance OF earth
roads, is to be awarded by Logan
Waller Page, Director, office Of
Public Roads, United States Depart
Inent Of Agriculture, Washington,
y. g. All compositions must be
submitted to Mr.. Page before May
AS, 1913, and the medal will be
awarded as soon thereafter as the
compositions can. be graded. The
composition may be based on know
ledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should
be made.
After many years experience in
dealing with the public. road situa-
ton Of the country, it is Mr.. Pages
belief that ignorance on the subject
OF repair and maintenance Of roads
is as much the cause of their bad
condition as any other one factor.
|1H is expected that the competition
will bring about a better under
standing Of road Gonstruc ction and
namt mtenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the. rural
lsdistricts have experienced the dis
advantages of roads made impass-
able through a lack Of proper
mainte tenance and it is expected That
their interest in the competition
will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads
have prevented many children from
obtaining proper education and
have even prevented doctors from
reaching the side Of rural patients
in time to save their lives.
Any child between the ages mem
TONED, attending country school,
may compete. Only one side of the
paper must be Written on; each
page should be numbered; the
name, age, and address Of the writ
er, and the name and location Of
the school which he or she is at
tending must be plainly written Sat
the top Of the first page. The an
nouncement of the competition has
been sent to the superintendent Of
schools in the rural districts. No
further information can be obtain
ed from the Office Of Public Roads.
This announcement should be plain
I to everyone, and all children will
thus start on a basis Of equality.
